10 FMA2YX installation instruction

FMA2YX is the device that has internal GNSS and GSM antenna.
Internal GNSS antenna device should be mounted with the sticker view to the open sky
(metal free) with not less than ¾ of metal free area as shown in figure 55.

Figure 55. ¾ metal free zone illustration

FMA2YX has IP67 protection class. Top performance is reached if mounted outside of the
vehicle.

The device has 4 mounting holes on the edges, and can be tightened with screws, adhesive
tape or plastic straps.

FMA2YX area with sticker and GNSS antenna is shown in Figure 56.

10.1 Possible mounting zones
10.1.1 Trucks

It is strongly recommended to mount FMA2YX outside of the vehicle with the sticker direction to
a sky, see figure 57.

Most commercial trucks have plastic hood in front of the vehicle.

It is recommended to mount FMA2YX under the hood. Power cord output of the device
should be at the bottom. If it is not possible, if a front hood is made of some kind of metal, the
device can be mounted inside the car on the front panel as close as possible to the front window.
See Figure 58.

3. If FMA2YX is used in 6V system and power cables are extended.

 Extension cable resistance should be less than 60 mΩ in sum of both, positive and negative,
wires. 30 mΩ for single wire.

10.1.8 Other recommendations

1. If using Eco driving function device should be mounted horizontally to work properly,
see Figure 63 and 64.

2. If the vehicle is not used for a half of month or more it is recommended to disconnect
