Globehopper Crossmodal 3.0 – User Manual5.4 Installation InstructionsIt is not permitted to perform an installation of the Globehopper Crossmodal device inside a hazardous area. If the installation of the Nexxiot device is performed outside of a Hazardous area, then there are no special safety considerations or precautions required.Before the device is mounted at the desired location, make sure the following conditions are met: · Make sure, drilling holes in the chosen mounting location does not weaken the mechanical structure of the wagon. In case of uncertainties, get in touch with the manufacturer of the wagon to define appropriate mounting locations · Make sure, drilling holes in the chosen mounting location does not puncture the wagons cargo holding area in an unwanted area. Special care must be taken for any kind of tank wagons and bulk goods wagons · Make sure, drilling does not puncture any electrical, hydraulic or air tubes or lines or functionally vital installations on the wagon. Such installations can be installed intentionally on the rear side of structural beams to protect them against damageWear the necessary personal safety gear during the whole installation to avoid any injuries.5.5 Maintenance InstructionsWhile the operation of this device is maintenance free, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure maintenance operations according to IEC 60079-17. It is not possible to replace the battery.5.6 CleaningFor best performance, please clean the solar panel on every service interval of your asset. The cleaning of Globehopper Crossmodal device can be performed both inside and outside of a hazardous area. To avoid scratching the solar panel and degrading its performance, it is recommended to wash the device with a sponge or cloth, using water and soap, suitable for Polycarbonate surfaces.5.7 Device replacement InstructionsRemove the old device from your asset by counterboring the rivets and using the App to initiate the unpairing process. Then, install the new device to your asset and use the Smartphone App to connect the new device to your asset.5.8 Decommissioning an Old DeviceDevices taken out of service must be sent back to Nexxiot AG.

Globehopper Crossmodal 3.0 – User ManualInstallation steps: 1. Take the equipment and the Globehopper Crossmodal to the place of installation.2. To avoid mistakes, the Globehopper Crossmodal needs to be fixed to the wagons in a sequential order, which means it might be necessary for the assembly operator to get to the other side of the wagon.3. Determine the installation position for the Globehopper Crossmodal based on the mounting guidelines (see below)4. Hold the Globehopper Crossmodal to the asset and drill two holes (6.5 mm diameter). Use the mounting holes of the Globehopper Crossmodal as stencil to mark the drill positions. Do NOT use the Globehopper Crossmodal as a drill guide as this damages the enclosure5. Fix the Globehopper Crossmodal onto the asset with two 6.4 mm blind rivets using a riveting machine. The Globehopper Crossmodal always needs to be mounted so that the solar panel is on the left-hand side of the device when viewed from the front.6. Carry out the pairing of the Globehopper Crossmodal, using the mobile app as described in the Mobile App User Manual.6.2 Safety NoticeThe total thickness of the Globehopper Crossmodal mounting holes and the material thickness of the mounting location must not exceed the maximum allowed material thickness for a reliable riveting according to the datasheet of the manufacturer of the rivet.6.3 Mounting GuidelinesSee the following reference images for recommendations for mounting the Globehopper Crossmodal in different configurations. Please check with the manufacturer of the specific wagon type onto which the Globehopper Crossmodal 2.0 is to be mounted to get approval for the chosen mounting location.

Globehopper Crossmodal 3.0 – User Manual6.4 General Recommendations about Globehopper Crossmodal PerformanceThe installation location of the Globehopper Crossmodal is very important for achieving the best performance. The GNSS signal is very sensitive with regards to steel obstructions; therefore, the mounting position should be chosen so that the Globehopper Crossmodal is not affected by such obstructions. GNSS satellites are circling the earth in an orbit of about 20’000 km and their signal needs to be able to reach the Globehopper Crossmodal. Every obstacle will make it harder for the signal to reach the device.Therefore, these rules should be applied to find the optimal mounting location: · The device must be mounted on a vertical flat surface · Avoid overhanging steel structures above or below the Globehopper Crossmodal. The top of the Globehopper Crossmodal should have an unobstructed view of the sky · Avoid overhanging structures in general · Choose a place with as much sunlight as possible and with as little exposure to brake dust as possibleExamples of unfavorable installation locations: · Shady, almost impossible to receive direct sunlight · Very low on the wagon, therefore exposed to a lot of brake dust · Surrounded by steel, metal or other obstructions
