1 Introduction 1.1 About the GSM/GPRS MT-GL The GSM/GPRS MT-GL (hereafter referred to as “MT-GL”) is an Automated Vehicle Locating (AVL) device that utilizes a GSM/GPRS modem and a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) module. Working together, these technologies allow the MT-GL to simultaneously act as a stand alone GPS reporting device and wireless data retrieval unit. The MT-GL provides a flexible AVL solution with Input/Output (I/O), six selectable National Maritime Electronics As

2 Installation Instructions provided in this section describe the hardware installation of the MT-GL device. To install the MT-GL in a vehicle, follow these steps: • Choose a convenient location in the vehicle – either in the trunk or interior of a vehicle. Avoid locations that might expose the device to excessive heat or moisture. • Hold the MT-GL in place and mark the location for mounting screw holes • Using the markings as a guide, drill mounting holes in those positions • Alig

The bracket should be used as a template to mark screw holes for installation. See Figure 4 - MT-GL Mounting Brackets. The mounting holes are designed for a number 10 screw. Once mounting holes have been located for placement, the mounting plate can be easily broken into two parts as demonstrated in Figure 5 - MT-GL Mounting Bracket (separated). The mounting bracket must be separated in order to affix it to the MT-GL. The two pieces will easily slide into the grooves on the modem.
