Preparing for Installation:
What’s in the box:
- EAT-B Device
- 4 x self-drilling screws for metal: standard 5/16” hex head, number 12 size, 1 inch long
- 4 x bolts: Serrated-flange 5/16” hex head, 10-32 thread, 1 1⁄4 inch long, .19 inch screw
width - 4 x locknuts 3/8” head

Installing the EAT-B Device:
Step 1: Make note of the serial number (SN) located on the device.
You need this number later when confirming that the device has connected to Reveal. You can find the serial number on the label on the side of the device.
Step 2: Find a good location to mount the device.
The device should be mounted in a location with a clear view of the sky and where it does not interfere with the safe operation of the asset, or where it is exposed to road debris or high- pressure water spray that can damage the device.
Do not mount the device under the floor in an enclosed metal trailer or container as this can limit connectivity and data. Do not mount the device facing down, underneath the asset, because ground reflections can impair the signal reception and reporting accuracy.
Step 3: Activate and test the device.
- Hold the device in the mounting location.
- Press the Status button.
- Check the status LEDs.

To check for the device in Spotlight:
- In Spotlight, go to the Map screen.
In the Search field, enter the device serial number and tap Search
Step 5: Mount the device:
Once you have activated and tested the device, you can mount it to the asset. To mount the device:
- Hold the device in the mounting position.
- Mark the positions of the four mounting holes.
- Drill holes in the positions you’ve just marked.
- Secure the device to the asset using the included screws or bolts.
Step 6: Rename the asset in Reveal
The asset is listed in Reveal with the serial number as the asset name. We recommend that you rename the asset so that it’s easier to identify on Live Map and in your reports.

- In the Search field, type the device serial number and press Enter.
- Choose the Edit icon next to the asset.
