- Installing this solution (IOX-COLD RUGGED)
Before installation, you must open the right and/or center compartments of the refrigeration units, depending on the location of the controller and its master switch.
WARNING! Turn off the vehicle's engine and the microprocessor's main switch before installation. Failure to do so may result in unintended motor activation, sudden vehicle shutdown, erratic vehicle behavior, component/accessory damage, or pose an electrical hazard leading to death or serious injury.
! IMPORTANT: Professional installation (Certified Geotab® Installer or equivalent) is required for the safe and proper installation of this product (harness and/or IOX). The installer must have sufficient technical knowledge and expertise for the respective installation.
WARNING! All IOX-COLD RUGGED, GEO-CCIPBOX, and GO RUGGED cabling cabling must be securely fastened and routed clear of hot surfaces, vehicle controls, and moving components in the engine or refrigeration unit. Failure to do so may result in damaged components, refrigeration unit malfunction, or collisions leading to death or serious personal injury.
IMPORTANT! All powered connections must be fitted with overcurrent limit protection. Geotab offers the HRN-5AFUSKIT, this can help minimize configuration complexity, reduce installation time, and improve reliability.
Installing this solution (GEO-CCIPBOX)
1 | Depending on the IP Box location, route the HRN-CL03B6 harness and the IP Box three-wire harness toward the controller compartment. If needed, use a cable guide to route through the original unit harness. |
|
2 | Connect the HRN-CL03B6 harness to the Serial Port 3-way connector located in the right compartment of the unit, below its electronic closet. ✱ NOTE: If the serial port is not free, contact the support team. |
|
3 | Connect the IP Box three-wire harness. For detailed instructions, refer to Cold Chain Trailers Power and Ignition - Location Guide. |
|
4 | Group the loose accessory gland cable wires and route them in or near the controller compartment, as the cable will not be used. |
|
5 | Fasten the IP Box cables to the unit harnesses and stationary mechanical parts of the asset to secure the cable management. |
|
6 | Once complete, close the refrigeration unit compartment and turn on the microprocessor switch and the HMI. The GO device powers on, and initiates the provisioning and firmware updates. |
|
7 | Verify that the GEO-CCIPBOX has been installed correctly. Option 1 (MyInstall): Validate the installation using the MyInstall tool (link here). You need a secure MyAdmin login to use this tool. If you do not have one, refer to the Creating MyInstall Credentials section of the MyInstall user guide. Option 2 (Device Installation Wizard): Validate the installation using the Device Installation Wizard tool at https://tools.ioxureader.com/install. The tool can also be used for troubleshooting purposes. For more information about the Device Installation Wizard, refer to the user guide. ✱ NOTE: Use Option 1 whenever possible. Only use Option 2 as a backup, if any issues occur with the MyInstall tool. ! IMPORTANT: The use of one of these tools is mandatory for every installation. If the GEO-CCIPBOX is not configured correctly, it will not transmit correct data. |

Installing this solution (IOX-COLD RUGGED)
1 | Connect HRN-RCCCAADV to the IOX-COLD RUGGED |
|
2 | Depending on the IOX-COLD RUGGED location, route the HRN-RCCCAADV harness toward the controller compartment. If needed, use a cable guide to route through the original unit harness.
|
|
3 | Connect the HRN-RCCCAADV harness to the Serial Port 3-way connector located in the right compartment of the unit, below its electronic closet. ✱ NOTE: If the serial port is not free, inform contact the support team. |
|
4 | Once the HRN-RCCCAADV routing and connections are completed, follow the steps (start from step 4) outlined in the quick start guide, which can be found here: gtb.link/ioxcoldrugged Do not forget to fasten all the installed cables to the refrigeration unit harnesses and stationary mechanical parts of the asset to secure the cable management. ! IMPORTANT: The use of the MyInstall or Device Installation Wizard tools is mandatory for every installation to correctly configure the IOX-COLD RUGGED. If you do not do this, data will not be obtained correctly. ✱ NOTE: Prioritize MyInstall whenever possible. If any issues arise with the MyInstall tool, then use Device Installation Wizard as a fallback. |

Important Safety Information and Limitations of Use
For the latest version of the Limitations of Use, visit: goo.gl/k6Fp0w.
WARNING! Do not attempt to install, configure or remove any product from any vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or powered up. All installation, configuration or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely parked. Attempting to service units while being operated could result in malfunctions or accidents, leading to death or serious personal injury.
WARNING! All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls, including gas, brake and clutch pedals. You must inspect devices and cabling on a regular basis to ensure all devices and cabling continue to be securely attached. Loose cabling or devices may impede the use of vehicle controls, resulting in unanticipated acceleration, braking or other loss of vehicle control, which could lead to death or serious personal injury. Improperly fastened in-vehicle devices may detach and impact operators upon sudden acceleration or deceleration, which may cause injury.
WARNING! 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 Partner. Continuing to operate a vehicle with these symptoms can cause loss of vehicle control, and serious injury.
WARNING! Your in-vehicle devices must be kept clear of debris, water and other environmental contaminants. Failure to do so may result in units malfunctioning or short-circuiting that can lead to a fire hazard or vehicle damage or serious injury.
WARNING! Do not attempt to remove the devices from the vehicle in which they are originally installed for installation in another vehicle. Not all vehicles share compatibility, and doing so may result in unexpected interactions with your vehicle, including sudden loss of power or shutdown of the vehicle’s engine while in operation or cause your vehicle to operate poorly or erratically and cause death or serious injury and/or vehicle damage.
NOTICE: This product does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Configuration, servicing, and repairs must only be made by an authorized Partner or Installer. Unauthorized servicing of these products will void your product warranty.
