    • Some installations are not straight forward and must be completed by an Authorized Installer to ensure a secure installation.

    • An unsecure device installation can cause poor electric and/or data connection that can lead to short circuits and fires or cause malfunctions of vehicle controls that can result in serious personal injury or significant damage to your vehicle.

    • Some examples requiring professional installation from an Authorized Installer are:

    • Installation of the GO9 RUGGED requires that the installer have sufficient technical knowledge and expertise for mobile device installation and integration into modern vehicles, i.e. Certified Geotab Installer certification or equivalent.

    • Vehicle mounting modifications are required to secure the device i.e. removing of panels, or the OBD connector has been deformed/damaged or there is any physical damage visible to the electrical wiring.

    • The device does not beep six times and power on when first installed.

    • The installer questions their ability to complete a secure installation according to these instructions.

    • Do not attempt to install, reconfigure or remove any product from a vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely parked.

    • Attempting to service devices while the vehicle is in motion could result in malfunctions or accidents, leading to death or serious personal injury.

  3. Before installation it is recommended to document the following:

    • Before installation it is recommended to document the following:

    • Record Odometer / Engine Hours

    • Record Fleet Alias/Number/ID

    • Record VIN (vehicle identification number)

  5. Familiarize yourself with the asset and remove panels as needed to access the power point connection and choose an appropriate mounting location. Locate the 12 pin diagnostics connector and plug in HRN-RL12K2. Make sure the red power wire is plugged in.

    • Familiarize yourself with the asset and remove panels as needed to access the power point connection and choose an appropriate mounting location.

    • Locate the 12 pin diagnostics connector and plug in HRN-RL12K2.

    • Make sure the red power wire is plugged in.

  6. Some units only have power on ignition from the diagnostics plug.

    • Some units only have power on ignition from the diagnostics plug.

    • If the power from the diagnostics plug is only ignition based, unplug the power plug from the harness and plug it into the included lead and connect to a constant power source. Be sure to use included fuse link.

    • Mount the GO RUGGED in an appropriate location where wires can be safely routed towards the power interface point. The location must have the best possible view of the sky with the least metal obstructions.

    • The installer is encouraged to fasten the device using nuts & bolts/screws if the asset experiences excessive vibration during use/operation.

    • Use extra caution when drilling to avoid compromising the asset in any way, ensuring that no wiring or other components that could impact mechanical operation are affected.

  8. Start Vehicle or turn Ignition On

    • Start Vehicle or turn Ignition On

    • Verify LED pattern.

    • The device emits 2 quick beeps every 60 seconds during set-up. Once all three LEDs turn solid you will hear 10 quick beeps.

    • All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls, airbags, and gas, brake and clutch pedals.

    • This requires the use of a cable tie when securing the device or any extension harness to the OBD connector, securing both sides of the harness. If you do not use a cable tie, vibration in the vehicle can lead to a loose connection which could cause the vehicle’s engine computer to fail, causing potential loss of vehicle control and serious injury.

    • Inspect devices and cabling regularly to ensure all devices and cabling continue to be securely attached.

    • If at any point after an in-vehicle device is installed a warning light illuminates on the vehicle dash or the vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device, and contact your reseller. Continuing to operate a vehicle with these symptoms can cause loss of vehicle control, and serious injury.
