Step 1: Gather your tools

You will need the following tools:

  • Power drill
  • 10mm socket and adapter
  • #1 Slotted screwdriver bit
  • #2 Phillips screwdriver bit
  • Dash panel removal tools

Step 2: Locate and capture the CalAmp 3640's ESN and the VIN

You will need the CalAmp 3640's Electronic Serial Number (ESN) and the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) later to verify the installation.

  1. Capture the CalAmp 3640 device’s ESN.

    The ESN is on a label at the bottom of the device.
  2. Capture the VIN.
    00b_-_record_VIN.png
    The VIN is on a tag located in the driver’s door jamb.

Step 3: Remove the lower passenger panels

  1. Go to/ start the removal on the passenger side of the vehicle.
    01a_-_passenger_side.png
  2. Remove the lower panel to the right of center of the dash (see green area in image below).
    01b_-_remove_panel_remove_bolts.png
  3. Remove the two 10mm bolts located behind the panel (see red areas in image above).
  4. Remove the 10mm bolt from the lower right corner of the dash near the door jamb.

  5. Locate the plastic rivet on the side of the panel near the door hinge.
    01d_-_locate_plastic_rivets.png
    Press in on the center of the rivet to release it.
    Pull the rivet out of its hole.
  6. Locate and remove the screws in the storage tray under the glove box (see blue areas in image below).

Step 4: Remove the CalAmp 423x antenna

  1. Remove the glove box (see blue area in image below).
    02a_-_remove_glove_box.png
  2. Locate the CalAmp 423X antenna. The antenna is mounted to the underside of the dash with two-sided tape, and has two wires running to it (see yellow area in image below).
    02b_-_install_antenna.png
  3. Remove the antenna by prying it from the dash, or cut the antenna wires as close to the antenna head as possible.
    Before cutting the antenna wires, confirm the wires are for the antenna and not for adjacent equipment.
  4. Remove any zip ties that secure the antenna wires to the truck.
  5. Unscrew the wires from the CalAmp 423x connectors.

Step 5: Remove the CalAmp 423x device

  1. Depress the lock tabs to release the CalAmp 423x device from its mounting cradle (see blue arrows in image below).
    03_-_remove_423X_device.png
  2. Disconnect the HD15 cable using the thumb screws (see orange areas in image above).
    Let the HD15 cable head rest in place. You will need it later in the procedure.
    If cable F39700 (Hino OBD-II) ships instead of the HD15, then technicians should connect the CalAmp device to the Hino's OBD-II port instead.

Step 6: Remove the buzzer

  1. Locate the buzzer (see blue arrow in image below).
    04a_-_remove_buzzer.png
  2. Release the wiring connector from the buzzer.
  3. Remove the 10mm bolt that holds the buzzer bracket in place. Keep the bolt nearby to use again when you reinstall the buzzer.
  4. Slide the buzzer off its mounting bracket.

Step 7: Remove the CalAmp 423x mounting bracket

  1. Locate the support from which the buzzer was removed (see yellow arrow in image below).
    05_-_remove_metal_mt_bracket.png
  2. Remove the two 10mm bolts that hold the metal mounting bracket in place.
    In the image above, the top bolt is hidden behind a module.

Step 8: Attach the CalAmp 3640 mounting cradle

Attach the CalAmp 3640 mounting cradle to the CalAmp 3640 mounting bracket using the provided screws.

06b_-_Attach_3640_mt_cradle_to_3640_mt_plate.png

Step 9: Attach the buzzer mount

Attach the buzzer mount to the CalAmp 3640 mounting bracket using the 10mm bolt you removed at Step 4 (see blue area in image below).

Step 10: Install the CalAmp 3640 mounting bracket

Fasten the CalAmp 3640 mounting bracket to the truck using the provided 10 mm bolts (see blue arrows in image below).

A stamp on the mounting bracket shows the correct orientation to use when fastening the bracket.

Step 11: Reconnect the buzzer

Insert the wiring connector into the buzzer (see blue area in image below).

9_-_reconnect_buzzer__.png

Step 12: Connect the HD15 adapters

  1. Connect the supplied HD15 adapter end to the HD15 that you disconnected at Step 3.
    If cable F39700 (Hino OBD-II) ships instead of the HD15, then technicians should connect the CalAmp device to the Hino's OBD-II port instead.

  2. Connect the 16 pin Molex end to the CalAmp 3640 device.
    10b_-_Connect_DB15_adaptors_1__.png
    Coil and secure any loose cabling using zip ties to ensure it will not interfere with passengers or normal operation of the vehicle.

Step 13: Mount the CalAmp 3640 device

  1. Insert the CalAmp 3640 device into the mounting cradle, plug-up and top-side first (see arrows in image below, which is from a different type of truck).
    The 3640 device is installed in a similar way to the removed 432x device.
    There is a module close to the installed device. Trying to install the device bottom-first risks breaking the device’s DB15 connection, causing failure.

  2. Press the CalAmp 3640 device into the mounting cradle until the tabs lock it in place (see image below, which is from a different type of truck).
    11b_-_insert_3640_in_mt_cradle.png

Step 14: Connect the CalAmp 3640 device

  1. Connect the CalAmp 3640 device.
  2. Note the LED colors and statuses (see descriptions below).12_-_Connect_device__.png

Green LED (GPS)

  • Flashing: searching for GPS signal
  • Solid: GPS signal is acquired

Amber LED (cellular network)

  • Flashing: searching for cellular network signal
  • Solid: cellular network signal is acquired

Step 15: Reinstall the dash panels

Reinstall all the dash panels and screws that you removed during the disassembly process as follows:

  1. Replace the lower panel.
    13a_-_replace_lower_panel.png
  2. Insert the screws in the storage tray under the glove box (see blue areas in image below).
    13b_-_locate_replace_screws.png
  3. Insert the plastic rivet in its hole on the side of the panel near the door hinge.
    13c_-_replace_plastic_rivet.png
  4. Replace the 10mm bolt in the lower right corner of the dash near the door jamb.
    13d_-_replace_bolt_dash.png
  5. Replace the two 10mm bolts located behind the panel (see red areas in image below).
    13e_-_replace_panel_replace_bolts.png
  6. Replace the lower panel to the right of center of the dash (see green area in image above).

Step 16: Verify operation

The two device LEDs (Amber for cellular network, green for GPS) must be solid before you verify operation of the device.
