Preparation Review Asset Schematic Determine potential ECM mounting location. Identify location of PL Connector, if present. Identify 403 R-Terminal wire. If no R-Terminal wire, identify alternate source of Engine Running Signal. Determine if signal is AC or DC. Identify J1939 CAN wires. If no CAN wires, order a J1939 Terminator.

Route the Harness Wires and GPS Antenna Coax The GPS Antenna should be mounted as close to horizontal as possible, using the provided adhesive tape. Protect the antenna coax from abrasion, excessively high temperatures, and kinking or tight bends. Route the PL421's harness wires to the assets Product Link Connector or point in the asset harness where wires can be splice in.
