Installation instructions

In order to provent GPS sensitivity issues, the module needs to be installed in a position where the module has a clear view to sky and satellites.

1-  When installing the geoloc module in a vehicle, make sure that there are as few obstruction as possible close to the unit since it has an internal GPS antenna. Any obstruction might block the 360 view to the horizon that is required for operation. Ideally, nothing should block the antenna beyond 5 degrees above the horizon with the best location being on the windscreen.

2-  The GPS receiver antenna (Patch-Antenna) is located underneath the type data plate. Therefore the data plate (antenna side of the module) should face upwards towards the sky

PLEASE NOTE: The Geoloc is equipped with 120 Ohm can resistor. The wiring to CAN 1 or CAN 2 must take this into account!

Whilst every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information given here, TACHO SUPPLIES Ltd cannot be held responsible for any errors or omissions. Ultimately, the installer must ensure compliance with the specific vehicle repair procedures laid down by the vehicle manufacturer; particularly with regard to battery disconnection/reconnection procedures. Failure to comply with the vehicle manufacturer’s instructions may result in personal injury and/or component damage/memory loss.
