Installation Video
Arrival
- When the cooler arrives, the mounting bracket will appear as in the image below.
- Remove the plate from the cooler.
- Remove the screw bag attached to the plate.
- Secure the plate to the PicoCooler unit. Begin by screwing in the top left screw using a screw provided in the screw bag.
- Pivot the plate to the right 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 will go through the cable clip and into the unit, followed by the top and bottom right screws.
- 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, then insert the SIM card into SIM slot 1 (See Diagram at the bottom of this article) until you feel a slight click.
- Place the PicoCooler on the cooler by sliding the bottom lip of the device plate down in the space on the mount.
- Followed by placing the top of the unit flat against the mount.
- Apply pressure against the mount and slide the device up until the hole in the bottom of the unit lines up with the threaded hole.
*Note: This may require a decent amount of pressure to adjust the device into place as the unit is snug.
- Secure the PicoCooler to the cooler by screwing in the scanner hood into the hole in the bottom of the unit.
- 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).
** Be sure you have plugged in the power cable from the rear of the cooler to supply power to the PicoCooler unit.
