📝 Note: For best results, register this device type as an Asset. If registered as a Vehicle, trip data accuracy may be impacted due to the lack of a direct ignition connection.
Before You Begin
The installation kit contains a registration card, the BeSol+ device, 2 well nuts with screws, and two self-tapping screws.
Additional tools and supplies you may need: a fine-tip marker, a center punch, and a ladder.
Installation Overview
The installation process has three steps:
Installation Preparation
Device Mounting
Activation and Registration
Installation Steps
1. Installation Preparation
Write down the device's 15-digit Activation Code and 9-digit serial number (ESN). You'll use these later to verify the installation and register the device.
Identify a suitable mounting location that is horizontal to the ground, has an unobstructed view of the sky, is not a removable panel, and won't be damaged during normal operation of the asset.
Inspect the area directly beneath the mounting location to make sure nothing will be damaged during installation.
2. Device Mounting
Position the mounting bracket and mark the position of the two holes.
Secure the device to the asset with screws.
❗ Important: Do not cover the device's humidity sensor with adhesive of any kind. Blocking airflow between the inside and outside of the device can trap moisture, potentially causing damage and inaccurate reporting.
3. Activation and Registration
Text the Activation Code from Step 1.1 to ClearPathGPS at (805) 695-2388.
You'll receive a few text messages prompting you to reply with information about the asset. Respond to the prompts with:
Asset Name — the label you'll see on the Map
Identifier (e.g., VIN or equipment ID) — found on the asset's registration or documentation
License Plate (if applicable)
Current Odometer/Hour Meter (if applicable)
Text "Done" to (805) 695-2388. You should receive a text response stating: "Installation complete."
Upon completion, give the registration card to your GPS administrator.
