Mobile Application Server 110 (MAS110) Installation Installing the Power Cable
Installing the Power Cable
Low Voltage Disconnects (LVDs)
An LVD is circuitry in some trucks that remove “non-critical” loads, such as TVs, radios, and
microwaves from the truck battery when operating these items without the vehicle running.
This ensures that there will be enough battery power left to start and run the vehicle.
Do not wire the MCP110 through any LVD device as this will affect the normal operation of
the system. When the LVD is engaged:
• MCP110 will not send or receive information
• Panic button will not operate
• Tamper detection will not work
• Vehicle position will be missed
• Backup battery life will be significantly reduced
Power Cable Run
• Run direction—Route the power cable from the MAS110 to the power connection points.
• Routing location—Route internally or externally. If routed externally, use the supplied
convoluted tubing.
• Cable dressing—Store and secure excess cable.
Power Cable Routing
1. If needed, temporarily remove the two fuses from the fuse holders on the end of the
cable.
2. Route the fuse end of the power cable from the MAS110 location to the power
connection points in the cab.
3. Re-install the fuses onto the appropriate wires.
4. Power on the MAS110 when ready. Powering up the MAS110 should be the last step of
the installation.
Power Cable Wire Connections
• The three required connections that you must make at the fuse end of the power cable:
- Chassis ground - labeled “BAT RTN”
- +12/24 VDC Battery (Main) (unswitched) - labeled “BAT+”
- +12/24 VDC Ignition (switched) - labeled “Ignition”
• Never wire the constant BAT+ connection or the IGNITION connection to the Accessory
position. See Appendix A for detailed pin and wire callouts.
