WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
HANDLING LI-ION CELLS:
All M7 devices contain an internal Lithium-thionyl Chloride (Li-Ion) battery
and must be handled properly during installation, normal use and removal.
Li-Ion cells contain a large amount of energy and react extremely violently
when exposed to moisture in the atmosphere. Risk of fire or explosion exists
only if the battery is handled improperly and/or abused mechanically,
electrically or thermally. Proper handling means the battery must NOT be
subjected to the following conditions:
- Short circuit
- Puncturing
- Recharging
- Crushing
- Incineration
- Immersion in water
- Exposure to temperature exceeding rated limits
Care must be taken, especially during installation and decommissioning, to
ensure the units are not punctured or crushed.
In the event of battery ignition, use ONLY Class D fire extinguishers on the
flame. DO NOT USE water, sand, CO,, Halon, dry powder, or soda ash
extinguishers.
For more information, consult the manufacturer’s Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for
standard Lithium Thionyl Chloride batteries.
DISPOSAL OF LI-ION CELLS:
Lithium-Ion batteries are often subject to local, state or provincial laws and
regulations regarding disposal. They cannot be simply disposed of in the
trash. Check with your local landfill/recycling facility for hazardous waste
disposal requirements and safe disposal options.
The following instructions and any accompanying documentation, drawings and specifications are the property of ZTR CONTROL SYSTEMS. They are issued in strict confidence and shall not be reproduced, copied or used as the basis for sale or manufacture of any apparatus without prior written permission from ZTR CONTROL SYSTEMS.
Installation Documents Requirements
For reference during the installation of the M7, please be sure to bring along the following documents for your reference as needed:
- Control panel Installation & Operation Manual relevant to your equipment package
- Schematics of the asset you are working on, if applicable
- M7 Installation Guide
- The device installation may be nearby the body, and the distance may be less than 20 cm.
Electrical Requirements
The following lists the electrical requirements for power and signal connections that arc necessary for the M7 to operate.
- Power Supply Operational Range: o Battery Supply = 6 — 90V DC
- Digital Input Signal Range: o Logic High (true, ON) = 6 — 60V DC o Logic Low (false, OFF) = -0.3 — 5V DC
- Digital Output Signal Range: o Sinks voltage signals between -0.3 — 60V DC @ 200mA
- Analog Input Signal Range: o Voltage = 0 — 60V DC Or… o Current = 4 — 20mA
Supplies
The following information will help you understand what comes in the install
kit and also provide suggestions on additional supplies you may need for
installation.
A. Available M7 Telematics:
Your kit will include the following:
• M7
• M7 Installation Guide
B. What is Not Included in the Kit:
• The following are optional supplies that are not provided in this kit which
you may need to use during the installation of the device: o Cable Ties o
Cable Tie Anchors o Rubber Cable Gland
Location and Installation Considerations
- The M7 device will need to transmit cellular signals. as well as receive GPS positioning signals. When looking for mounting locations, you want to find a location that will allow these transmissions freely.
- Optimal mounting locations include: o Horizontally mounted under fiberglass or plastic hood o Horizontally mounted on top side of the equipment. facing the sky
- Although these optimal locations may not be easily achieved in some equipment. the M7 may be mounted in other areas and orientations: o Vertically on the side of the machine o Inside the equipment/machine with open view to the sky
• Ie. Operator Cab
: IMPORTANT NOTE:
Avoid locations that limit communications such as Inside metal control
cabinets and areas completely surrounded by metal. Mount M7 in a location that
does not expose it to potential physical damage when equipment is in normal
use.
Wiring
The M7 has a 36 inch wire harness with loose wires at the end. Figure I outlines the wire designations of this wire harness. Refer to section 2: Electrical Requirements for more in-depth electrical requirements that must be mct for each relevant connection while wiring the %17 into your asset.
Figure1: 12- Pin Connector Pin References
Testing
With the M7 connected and powered up. confirm that the LED’s from Figure 2 illuminate.

FCC STATEMENTS WARNING:
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE : This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits
for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and
can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures: — Reorient or relocate
the receiving antenna. — Increase the separation between the equipment and
receiver. — Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected. — Consult the dealer or an
experienced radio/TV technician for help.
SAR:
The radiated output power of this device is below the FCC radio frequency
exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a manner that
the potential for human contact is minimized during normal operation. The
exposure standard for wireless devices employs a unit of measurement known as
the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6
W/Kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted
by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level
in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can
be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach
the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output. To avoid the possibility of exceeding the
FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna should be
minimized.
INDUSTRY CANADA
This device complies with Industry Canada licence-exempt RSS standard(s).
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not
cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference,
including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
This EUT is in compliance with SAR for general population/uncontrolled
exposure limits in ISED RSS-102 and had been tested in accordance with the
measurement methods and procedures specified in IEEE 1528 and IEC 62209. This
device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operating in conjunction
with any other antenna or transmitter.
