7 STR INSTALLATION 7.1 Smart Telematics Recorder (STR) Installation Location
The STR includes a mounting bracket and is typically mounted on top of the passenger dashboard. Consider these points when determining the best location for the STR placement:
· Federal and/or state DOT regulations must be followed when choosing a proper mounting location for the STR.
· The STR should be mounted in a secure location on top of the dash with the top ventilation holes unobstructed to allow for heat dissipation.
· The STR should not obstruct the driver's view of the road. · If you are unable to mount the STR on top of the passenger dashboard, you may mount it in an approved
location by the customer.
7.2 STR Installation Procedure
1. Remove the mounting plate from the Smart Telematics Recorder. 2. Secure the mounting plate to the top of the dashboard, using the included velcro strips,
or screwed down using the screw holes, or both.
3. Remove the cable protector screw from the back of the Smart Telematics Recorder.

4. Plug in the Wiring Harness into the Main I/O port, in back of the STR. If a DBC2 device is also being installed, plug in the DBC2 Cable into the ETH port. If applicable, plug in the Expansion Trigger Cable and Analog Camera cable, as well.
5. Install the Cable Protector cover and screw. Then tighten the screw to secure the cables in place.
6. Install the STR onto the mounting plate. 7. Route the cables securely around and into the dashboard to connect to the Diagnostic Link Connector of the
vehicle.
8 VEHICLE DIAGNOSTIC LINK CONNECTOR (DLC) TYPES
Vehicle cable connections can only be made on qualified vehicles. Please check with Solera Program Managers to verify that the vehicle is on the qualified vehicle list. The vehicle type will dictate the type of installation performed. The installation will require that one of the following connections be used:
6 pin or 9 pin (J-Bus) Connection If the installation requires a J-Bus plug connection:
1. Insert the Wiring Harness connector into the Smart Telematics Recorder. 2. Connect the Solera 6 or 9-pin male connector to the vehicle's 6 or 9-pin connector respectively.
In most common heavy-duty vehicles, the factory J-Bus port is located on the driver's side kick panel next to the driver`s left foot

3. The Solera female replicator port replaces the vehicle's 6 or 9-pin OBD connector.
OBDII Connection Perform the following steps when an installation requires an OBDII connection: 1. Insert the Wiring Harness connector into the Smart Telematics Recorder. 2. Detach the vehicle's factory OBDII connector.
3. Connect the vehicle OBDII connector to the mating Solera OBDII connector

4. Secure a Solera zip tie around the base of the cable and two zip ties over the top of the connector. Cut any excess material from the zip ties.
5. Connect the female replicator port to the original location of the OBDII connection.
Hardwire Connection Perform the following steps when an installation requires a Hardwire connection: 1. Insert the Wiring Harness connector into the Smart Telematics Recorder. 2. Constant Un-Interrupted Power: Solera Wiring Harness RED wire
· The red wire (5 amp fused constant power lead) is connected to a constant power source · Locate the constant 12v or 24v DC (depending on the system voltage) power source · Connect the red wire (5 amp fused constant lead power) to an uninterrupted constant power
source · Test for constant 12v or 24v DC with the ignition ON/ OFF and while the starter is cranking -
cranking -- the wire will have power all the time regardless of the key position · Location could be Key Cylinder, power distribution center, under the hood, or to the batteries Locations:
a. Power distribution center / Fuse panel b. Vehicle Battery c. Key Cylinder

Methods of power connections
· Bus bar or screw connections · Poke and wrap method
3. Testing Uninterrupted Constant Power The power wire is the constant [12V/24V (+)] wire and must be connected to a circuit that always has power regardless of the key position.
You can check this with a meter by connecting your black lead to Chassis Ground and the red lead to what you believe to be constant 12 volts. It will not lose current in the start or run key position.
4. True Ignition wire connection: Solera Wiring Harness Orange wire
The True Ignition wire (Orange) is connected to a true ignition source. A true ignition source is a circuit that is energized during the starter cranking process.
Get approval from the authorized onsite mechanic or vehicle manufacturer for acceptable wire connections.
1. Use a Digital Multi Meter (DMM) to find the switched power source. With the ignition OFF, you should read 0v DC. Turn the ignition ON and you should read 12v or 24v DC (depending on the system voltage).
2. Turn the key to the run position and verify that this is a true ignition source (not accessory) by making sure the voltage does not zero out during the starter cranking process.
3. Switch the ignition OFF and check for no residual voltage. 4. Connect the ignition wire to the true ignition power source only using approve connection
methods
5. How to locate True Ignition with a Digital Multi Meter (DMM): 1. With the vehicle off your meter will show zero volts 2. With the key in the Run position your meter will show 11 to 14 volts 3. With the vehicles starter cranking your meter will show 9 to 11 volts 4. With the vehicle running your meter will show 12 to 24 volts

6. Testing True Ignition Test an ignition wire by completing the following steps:
1. Set your multi-meter to VDC 2. Connect the black lead to chassis ground (-) 3. Connect the red lead to the ignition wire
i. It should show 0 volts while the key is Off 4. Cycle the key through the Run and Start positions
i. The multi-meter should show 12 or 24 volts in both positions 5. Crank and run the vehicle while watching the multi-meter
i. Voltage should never drop below 7 volts during cranking 6. If the multi-meter is displaying power while cranking, you've found a TRUE
Ignition source. If it does not pass all 3 readings, select a different wire and start over. 7. Switch the ignition OFF and check for no residual voltage
7. Chassis Ground: Solera Wiring Harness BLACK wire
The ground connection is very important for reliable operation of the STR, therefore we recommend that you avoid grounding to the dash and avoid support brackets, under dash brackets, glued unibody panels, and isolated chassis components.
Check to see that the black wire is grounded to a: · Ground terminal · Metal part of the vehicle's body
Paint should be scraped prior making the connection. Use a star washer to make a solid connection and check the crimp on the ring terminal.
There are three ways to connect Chassis Ground · Terminal Ring to chassis · Connection to a power distribution/fuse panel · Connection to a battery
