How do I install an IOX-based accessory in Geotab?
The Geotab GO9™ device is the world's only expandable plug-&-play vehicle telematics platform that allows for unique IOX™ expandability. The IOX-AUX gives you the opportunity to monitor a variety of vehicle inputs allowing you to manage your fleet better. The IOX-AUX gives you the option to monitor up to 8 inputs at any time by using two IOX-AUX's daisy. This harness can operate in a range of 0 to 32 volts. User Guide and Technical Specifications Installation InstructionsIdentify and test the connection points for the auxiliaries you wish to monitor. Keep in mind the IOX™ wiring is limited to a reach of approximately 3 ½ feet from the GO9™ mounting location. Extending the wiring to reach some connection points may be necessary. Make the auxiliary connections and secure them using an approved method such as “T” tapping. Ensure none of the components or wiring interferes with the safe operation of the vehicle.
Expanding your IOX-AUXExpanding from four to eight auxiliaries is as simple as plugging in a second IOX-AUX to the expansion port of the first and following the steps below. Remember you will need to remove the zip-tie from the original IOX-AUX. In order for the second IOX-AUX to report as 5-8 you will need to locate the red and black loop, or “short”, on the IOX-AUX and cut the wires. This will configure the IOX™ to become Aux 5-8. To complete the installation, you will need to ensure that both IOX-AUX are zip-tied together. Note: By cutting the loop, this IOX-AUX will always report as Aux 5-8, regardless of whether or not there is an Aux 1-4 installed previously. Termination ShuntYou may notice your IOX™ comes with a termination shunt installed in the expansion port. If you are installing more than one IOX™ in a daisy chain you will need to remove the shunt from each device in line with the exception of the “LAST” IOX™ connected. That shunt must remain in the last IOX™ and should be secured with a zip tie. The use of the shunt in the LAST IOX™ is necessary for the GO9™ to learn and configure the IOX™ as effectively as possible. Note: Failing to install the shunt in the last IOX™ could affect IOX™ configuration, it is recommended you secure the shunt using a zip tie if not already done. |
