Installing the solution
! IMPORTANT: Before opening the unit and installing the Cold Chain Solution, ensure that you switch the in-cab controller OFF.
! 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 and GO device 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.
Installation instructions
1 | Find the in-cab controller. ! IMPORTANT: These refrigeration units may be equipped with either of the two controllers pictured below. Both models are fully compatible with the Cold Chain harness.
|
|
2 | If needed, remove the in-cabin controller from its mechanical support. | |
3 | Connect the HRN-CCCACIT to port C of the IOX-COLD.
|
|
Route the HRN-CCCACIT to the controller location. ✱ NOTE: If the in-cab controller is located near the rear view mirror, you should route the HRN-CCCACIT through one of the cabin columns (right or left, depending on where the IOX-COLD and GO devices will be installed and connected). | ||
4 | Unplug the in-cabin controller from its original harness.
|
|
5 | Connect the white HRN-CCCACIT female connector to the original vehicle harness that was disconnected in the previous step. |
|
6 | Connect the white HRN-CCCACIT male connector to the in-cab controller.
|
|
7 | [Optional] The HRN-CCCACIT contains loose wires which allow the IOX-COLD to connect to additional sensors, such as 1-wire temperature sensors or door sensors. If these installations are required, refer to the accessories installation guide. |
|
8 | Once you have routed the HRN-CCCACIT, connected any optional accessories, and made all required connections to the IOX-COLD, follow the steps on MyInstall to connect it to the GO device. | |
9 | Switch the vehicle ignition and the in-cab controller ON once the installation is complete to validate the installation. ! IMPORTANT: The use of MyInstall is mandatory for every installation to correctly configure the IOX-UREADER or IOX-COLD. If you do not do this, data will not be obtained correctly. You need a secure MyAdmin login to use this tool. If you do not have one, refer to Creating MyInstall Credentials. | |
10 | Once the installation is validated, put all the items back in their original place and fix the in-cab controller to its bracket. |

WARNING! Do not attempt to install, configure or remove any product from any 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 units while being operated could cause 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 Reseller. 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 cause 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.
