1. INTRODUCTION
Telematic unit Vetronics 760 is an electronic device designed for fixed installation into vehicles. It is attached to
the vehicle's power, external GPS antenna and optionally vehicle's CAN bus. The unit is designed for use in cars,
trucks and commercial vehicles, with standard 12V or 24V power system. This manual provides information necessary
for the installation of mobile units in vehicles.
The installation of the mobile units should be done by trained personnel, preferably by an authorized automotive
service. It is possible to book a mounting training at the Princip company.
Warning: Vetronics 760 is not fully backwards compatible with older generations of the telematic unit from
Princip. If you are replacing an older unit for Vetronics 760, you need to check the original cable harness very
carefully. See chapter 3.7.
2. SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
In order to prevent fire, electric shock, injury to the user or other people and damage to the telematic unit or
vehicle, please obey following safety precautions:
· Never place the unit in locations where it is likely to cover the driver's field of vision, or where unit can
cause injury to the driver, accident or where it can affect driving.
· Do not place the unit in an area outside the cabin of the vehicle (e.g. In the engine compartment) where
the temperature range, vibration, humidity or dust can exceeds permitted levels.
· When fitting, ensure that the power supply meets the requirements of the manufacturer (12V-24V) and /
or standards for on-board network for motor vehicles according to ECE. Observe the polarity of the supply
voltage. Power wires must be connected through a fuse (max. 3A) to avoid short-circuit.
· Warranty does not apply to cases when a power supply does not meet the requirements of the
manufacturer or the unit is connected reversing the polarity of the power supply.
· During installation, make sure to avoid accidentally touching the wires not connected to ground, live parts
of the power system or any part of the electric vehicle. Such accident can cause not only destruction of
the mobile unit, but also damage to the vehicle's systems. Manufacturer bears no responsibility for such
damages.
· Installation must not interfere with other systems of the car (alarm, radio, airbags, tachograph etc.) e.g.
electromagnetic radiation of GSM transmission or mechanical damage wires.
· We recommend to disconnect the car battery from the electrical system that before installation
(especially when connecting the CAN bus).
· The unit is not user serviceable. In case of malfunction contact the service centre. Warranty doesn't cover
any unauthorized intervention.
· The unit is intended for firm installation in a vehicle. Frequent reinstallation may cause damage to the unit
and wear antenna connector. Thus caused damage is not subject to manufacturer's warranty.
· When choosing the location of the unit, make sure that the surface, on which it consolidates, is strong
enough with regard to the weight of the unit. When choosing the location of the unit is also important to
take into account the length of the GPS antenna lead.
· GPS Antenna lead (3m) may be extended, but it may have an adverse effect on signal quality. Do not
extend the antenna lead unofficial extension cords. If necessary, use an antenna with longer cable (5m).
