Overview 1 3
Scania Communicator 300 communicates with Fleet Manager Portal (FMP) via 3G C4000X C4000
and GPRS. If reception between the FMP and RTC node is poor, communication is
affected. Scania Communicator is available in several different versions, adapted for
different markets depending on the SIM card standard. U20B U20C

C300 has one control unit (1), one antenna (2), one adapter cable harness (3), one ca- 1
ble harness (4) and one coaxial cable (5). C4098

The adapter cable (3) is not required for Stage V engines. C300 is then connected di- 4
rectly to C4125 on the engine.

Scania recommends placing the control unit in a casing that protects against dust and
moisture and meets IP52. Leave at least 70 mm clearance (A) for the control unit
connector.
1. Remove the control unit bracket.

5. Disconnect the battery voltage.
6. Connect the adapter cabling to the engine harness-to-harness connector C4000.
Connection C4000X on the adapter cabling can be used in the same way as
C4000.
7. Connect adapter cabling connection M1B1 to the connection for 30 voltage on
the starter motor.
8. Connect the control unit cable harness to the adapter cabling via C4098.
9. Connect the battery voltage.

To connect C300, there is either a cable harness with ready lengths or a loose con-
nector kit. Kit 2 805 919 is used for connection to C300. For connection to C4125,
use kit 2 805 918 and for C4098 use kit 2 805 917.

Fitting and earthing the antenna

The antenna must be positioned externally on a flat horizontal surface. If the antenna
is to be fitted on a vehicle, you must take into account the direction of travel of the
vehicle (1). The antenna is approximately 270 mm high. 1
In order to obtain the best range during transmission, the surface must be made of
metal so that it acts as an earthing system. The earthing system also shields the an- 270
tenna from the wiring in the roof. If the surface is made of plastic, a metal earthing
system can be positioned on the underside of the surface. The diameter of the earth-
ing system must be at least 500 mm. Position the radio antenna on the metal covered
part of the surface in order to obtain an earthing system.

REQUIREMENT!

393 906
• If the antenna is positioned on a curved surface, the radius must be greater than Direction of travel and dimensions of the antenna.
2,000 mm.
• The washer securing the antenna must have electrical contact with the earthing
system. Remove any surface treatment from the part of the earthing system that
has electrical contact with the washer.
• When installing on marine applications, it is important that the earthing system is 130
separated from the hull.

IMPORTANT!

The distance to other antennas and external metal objects must be at least 300 mm.

1. Drill a hole with a diameter of 50 mm through the surface and any earthing sys-
tem.
2. Fit the antenna (1) in the hole with the direction of travel that is indicated in the
illustration on the previous page.
3. Fit the washer (2) and tighten the screw on top of the antenna base. Tightening
torque 5 Nm.
4. Fit the lock nut (3). Tightening torque 5 Nm.

Routing of coaxial cables for antenna

REQUIREMENT!

• If the coaxial cable is bent, the bending radius should be at least 50 mm. 1
• Connect several coaxial cables in series if the distance between C300 and the an-
tenna requires it. E89D 2
• Position the harness-to-component connectors in a dry and dust-free environ- 3

ment.

Overview, antenna.
Do not route coaxial cables together with other cables. Other cables can disrupt the
signals in the coaxial cables. Coaxial cables can, however, cross other cables without
any risk of electromagnetic interference.

Note:
C300 needs the engine speed, GNSS position and Engine number from CAN to com-
plete the automatic registration.
Fault codes may be generated by SDP3 if another antenna than the Scania antenna is
used. These fault codes can usually be ignored.

• Connect SDP3 by connecting measuring cable 99 667 to C300.

• Go through Guide to check installation.
