Ask Brayn for insights related to in-vehicle GPS system installations.
For his debut contribution to the Marc’s Safety Corner, Brayn performs the installation of an RFID Kit with a Fleet Complete Fleet Tracker.
Here are a few tips from Brayn:
- Install the reader a distance away from the ignition switch to avoid the card being read accidentally if, for example, the card is attached to the driver’s key-chain.
- Tightly bind all cables with zipties to avoid wires getting caught in electronics and creating unsafe environments, especially any wiring that is installed beneath the center console near the pedals. Pedals can get caught in the cables or drivers can accidentally trip.
- Solder wire connections to ensure good solid connection and avoid malfunctions or glitches. Cover the soldered connections with electrical tape to prevent corrosion.
