Safety Hazards
This section describes important safety guidelines to follow while
installing a Webtech Wireless Locator.
Also refer to Electrical Safety on page 4-10.
Do not install or operate a WebTech Locator in areas where explosive
atmospheres may be present.
Do not install a WebTech Locator in any vehicle powered by liquefied
petroleum gas or governed by petrochemical regulations without
additional operational safety precautions being taken.
Do not install a WebTech Locator near life support or other sensitive
equipment that may be affected by radio transmissions. If required,
consult the equipment manufacturer for guidance.
During car and truck installations, it is recommended that vehicle tires
are blocked to prevent roll back.
Periodically throughout installation, the emergency brake will be off
and the engine running, during which time the vehicle may move
unexpectedly.

Module 2
Configuration of the
Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)
The WT5800 Locator is designed to be used in a wireless environment.
This section outlines two options to configure the WT5800 WIFI network
SSID and encryption key.
Note Refer toTerminology and Background on page A-1 for help with WLAN
terminology.
Customer Supplied SSID and WEP Key
IF the customer supplied the WIFI network SSID and WEP encryption key
to WebTech Wireless at the point of sale
THEN the WT5800 is pre-programmed by WebTech Wireless with the
customer supplied SSID and WEP encryption key.
Go to Locator Antenna Installation on page 3-5.
Customer DID NOT Supply SSID and WEP Key
IF the customer DID NOT supply a SSID and WEP encryption key to
WebTech Wireless at the point of sale
THEN the WT5800 is pre-programmed with a default SSID and randomly
generated WEP encryption key.
The default SSID and WEP encryption key is listed in the Locator
Information Sheet (shipping/packing list), which is included with
the WT5800 shipment (see an example of the Locator Information
Sheets on page C-1).
Go to Configuring the Locator(s) Using HyperTerminal on page B-4.
Note When Locator WLAN configuration is complete, go to Locator Antenna
Installation on page 3-5

Module 3
Locator Antenna Installation
This section describes the requirements and steps involved to install the
GPS and GSM802.11g antennas.
Proper antenna location and cabling technique is
critical to optimal operation and performance of the
Locator. This includes both coverage and throughput
performance.
Locator Mounting and Placement Guidelines
Avoid heat, e.g. proximity to heaters or ducts, engine
exhausts, or direct sunlight.
Allow access to the Locator connectors such that the
LED is visible (where this is not a covert installation).
Protect the mounted Locator from moisture.
Place the Locator where physical damage to the unit is minimized,
e.g. under the dashboard or in the trunk.
Use a clean mounting surface if using Velcro.
Mount and secure the Locator with screws and drill the holes.The
Locator comes with holes in the flanges to enable mounting.
If the installation is covert go to Covert GPS Antenna Installation on
page 3-8.

Antenna Installation Dos and Don’ts
DO
Use only the supplied (or WebTech approved) antennas designed
for the correct frequencies.
Mount GPS antennas with a maximum view to the sky.
Mount antennas outside and on the vehicle roof (where possible).
Mount antennas securely. With through-hole installations, confirm
the installation is water tight (use silicone sealant).
DON'T
Don't mount antennas in areas with limited space for a ground
plane. Ground planes should provide at least 6" (15cm) of metal in
all directions.
Don't mount antennas close to another antenna. Provide as much
distance between antennas as possible. This includes the
GSM802.11g and GPS.
Don't mount antennas where they are covered or blocked by
metal.
Don't mount antennas close to people. Antennas should be
mounted where vehicle occupants will be separated from the
radiating element by at least 8" inches (20 cm).
Don't mount antennas where they are close to electronic
management and control systems.
Don't mount GPS antennas where they will be on an angle. They
should be horizontal to see as much sky as possible.
Don't run the GPS antenna cable to the roof of a vehicle through
the door. The vehicle door will eventually sever the cable and lose
connection between the GPS and Locator.
Don't tightly kink or wrap excess cable. Be careful not to trap any
cables when refitting trims to the vehicle.
Don't over tighten the connection between the antenna and the
Locator. Ensure that the antenna is not loose. E.g. hand tighten
then use a wrench to tighten another 1/8 of a turn (approximately).
