D3000 Installation
The location of the D3000 is at the discretion of the user. It is recommended that the unit is placed
somewhere in the vehicle’s dashboard, but consideration should be given to space, closeness to
driver, environmental conditions and distance from the antenna. There are three main
components needed for the D3000 installation efforts: a) D3000 Terminal; b) D3000 ICB Set; c)
Antenna; and d) Power. Below you will find a description of the D3000 Terminal and the ICB Set.
The Power and Antenna descriptions and installations are discussed in later sections.
D3000 Terminal
The D3000 Terminal (p/n 100400), discussed briefly early on this guide, consists of a device that,
in addition to tracking, displays incoming messages and initiates outgoing messages, transmitted
through a wireless communication system. Its rugged design, ergonomic user interface, full
programmability and extensive expansion options, make it the ideal mobile data terminal for
vehicles. It is built to withstand the extreme temperature range, vibrations and shock that a unit
operating within the vehicle environment must endure, ensuring the high level of reliability
required by a mission critical, mobile system.
The D3000 terminal has a pair of notches in each side (right and left) of the unit, allowing a solid
link of the ICB Set (Mounting Bracket) to its sides. Please refer to D3000 Terminal + ICB
Integration section for more details.
