Trimble E-006-0638 Gateway Alpha Module

Install Overview

• The Trimble Gateway device includes internal Cellular, WiFi, and GPS antennas.
• Mount the module in or on the dash with a clear view of the sky unobstructed by metals, with the top pointing to the sky.
• Attach the module securely using the screws provided, strong two-sided tape, or plastic ties.
• Be sure the module is clear of driver activities and potential environmental hazards.
• Connect to the vehicle Power and Engine Data using the cables and adapters noted in the following pages.
• The main cable includes an RP1226 connector for most late-model vehicles.
• Adapters are available to connect at the diagnostic port if needed, as well as a 2-pin cable for in-dash installations.
• The optional white ignition lead is available if needed, but most vehicles will boot normally using the J1939 Engine Data signal.
• The display will power from the three-pin Power/ignition/Ground connector, while all Display communications take place over WiFi.

Vehicle-Specific Install Guides

• The page below includes installing guides and videos covering most Makes and Models.
• No Trimble Gateway-specific guides exist at this time, but the guides can be used as references, as the vehicle connection points are the same.
• See the PCG tab for diagnostic port and RP1226 installs.
• See the PMG tab for 2-pin installs.
