Installation Video
Process
- Remove the plate from the cooler.
- Attached to the plate, you will find a plastic bag containing small screws. Remove this bag: you will use these screws to attach the Pico device to the cooler.
- Secure the plate to the PicoCooler unit using the screws provided.
- Pivot the plate to the right by 45 degrees. This will allow room to connect the SMA Cellular Antenna to the bottom connector (see diagram). Use the included SMA tool to connect the Cellular Antenna. When it is connected, remove the SMA Tool and pivot the plate back into place.
- Finish securing the plate to the PicoCooler device. The bottom left screw should go through the cable clip and into the unit.
- Connect the Molex Power Connector and the RJ45 Controller (Yellow Circle) to their respective ports.
-
Optional - If you are utilizing the cellular connection on your PicoCooler, insert the SIM card into SIM slot 1 (See Diagram) until you feel a slight click.
- With the back plate now attached, place the Pico onto the mount, then slide it down into place. The bottom edge of the back plate should slot into the mount during this process.
- Press gently on the top of the unit until it is flat against the mount. Slide the device up until the screw hole at the bottom of the unit lines up with the threaded hole.
*Note: This may require pressure to adjust the device, as the back plate is designed to fit snuggly into the mount.
- With another provided screw, attach the scanner hood via the hole at the bottom of the unit. This will also help to secure the Pico to the cooler.
- Place the Antenna on top of the cooler in the center. Then screw in the Antenna connector on the labeled connector located on the back of the cooler (orange port cover should be removed).
- Plug in the power cable from the rear of the cooler to supply power to the entire unit.
