- Open the control box door. See Figure 1.
Figure 1: Control Box with Door Open
- Remove the rain shield by removing the screws using a flat head screwdriver.
Temporarily reinstall the two screws to hold display in place for the next step. See Figure 2a and 2b.
Figure 2a: Removal of Rain Shield
Figure 2b: Screws reinstalled - Clean area of any residue caulk on either the rain shield or the control box door.
- Remove the two lower screws on the display.
- Position the Telematics module with the flat side of the module facing towards the door and reinstall the two screws on the display to secure / mount the module in place. See Figure 3.
Figure 3: Module Installation - Note the ground screw location and wire orientation. See Figure 4a. The module may need to be pushed up when tightening it down to clear the ground screw.
Figure 4a: Module Installation
Figure 4b: Module Installed under rain shield - Apply electrical contact dielectric grease to the micro-USB connector on the ML3/ML5 and the micro-USB plug. See figure 5b.
- Plug the micro-USB (item 1) to the ML3/ML5 controller connector and secure with the STA-Strap (item 3) to the USB guard and pull tie wrap to secure USB cable. See Figure 5c and 5d.
- Locate the existing software tag and remove it from the unit. See figure 5d.
- Take the clear plastic tag (item 7) and apply new label (item 6). See figure 5d.
- Secure tag to the USB cable near the controller using wire tie. See figure 5d.
- The power cable splits into QC and TRX2. Connect the wire marked QC to the QC connector on ML3 controller. See Figure 5e.
- Loosen the mounting screws of the filter in front of the transformer using a flathead screwdriver so it can be rotated out of the way. See fig. 6a and 6b.
Figure 6a: Filter location
Figure 6b: Filter mounting screw - Connect the wire marked TRX2 to the low voltage side of transformer at an open X2 connector. See Figure 6c.
Figure 6c: TRX2 connection to Transformer - Move the filter back to its original place and secure it with the mounting screw.
- With the door fully open, neatly secure the wire harness using the wire ties and securing to existing display cable conduit. See Figure 7a.
Figure 7a: Securing wire harness - Remove the top screws on the display. Reinstall rain shield using these screws.
- Caulk along the top of the rain shield to prevent water ingression. See figure 7b.
Figure 7b: Caulking of Rain Shield - Secure the wire harnesses to the rain shield via the hole as shown below in figure 7c.
If there is no hole, drill a hole with a ¼” or 6mm drill bit. - Clean the rain shield with an appropriate cleaner and add the USB label (item 5) to the rain shield to the right of the harness mounting hole. Location shown in figure 7c.
Figure 7c: Routing wire harness and label location - Power on the reefer unit.
- Check the operation of the Telematics Module using the LED display. The LED on the module will display accordingly.
NOTE: Ensure there is good cellular coverage for a successful telematics device connection.
