Within the context of kilometre charging in Belgium, the OBU (On Board Unit) is supplied with a cigarette lighter power cable.
It is strongly advised to carry out the fixed installation of the device to rely on a more reliable, professional and continuous power supply, and to benefit from the following advantages:
- enhanced user comfort thanks to the OBU switching on and off automatically when the vehicle's ignition is switched on and off;
- increased safety thanks fewer user operations and the absence of cables in the cab;
- more reliable power supply helping to comply with the obligation that the OBU must be powered as soon as the vehicle is travelling on the road in Belgium (including roads that are not subject to tolls);
- fixed installation is strongly advised on ADR vehicles (mandatory removal of the OBU's battery).
In this case, the following products may help you:
1) Installation kit for the Satellic OBU EH460
This kit is made up of:
- a 3 m cable (ADR/GGVS certified) with an OBU connector,
- a 30 cm protective sleeve to protect the cable between the point it leaves the dashboard and the OBU fitted to bottom of the vehicle's wind screen,
- the printed installation instructions , see a copy here.
This kit has been developed specifically with a very high quality cable. It is manufactured and assembled in Europe. The cable carries an official marking proving its quality by indicating the manufacturer, quality standard met and the certifying body.
Even if you don't yet have the OBU, it is possible to install the power cable in order to reduce vehicle downtime by combining it with other actions.
Afterwards you simply order the OBU via the link
www.satellic.be and position it later by following the specially prepared instructions for this purpose,

2) Fuse holder and protection fuses EH469
This kit includes 2 fuse holders and 2 fuses since 2 fuses are needed to protect the OBU's power circuits.
3) Self gripping fixing kit for the Satellic OBU EH463
The OBU can be fitted to the vehicle's windscreen using the suction cups supplied with the OBU. For a more secure fixture, we have developed a fixing kit with professional self-adhesive strips. This kit includes a cleaning wipe.
We strongly recommend not to attach the OBU with double-sided adhesive strips because the effort taken to remove the OBU from the windscreen in this case may damage the device, and you will then be liable to lose the security deposit paid to Satellic when ordering.
4) Power supply tester for the Satellic OBU EH461
We have developed a power-supply tester for OBU's to quickly test the connection to + permanent (30) and + after ignition (15).
5) Positioning template for the Satellic OBU EH462
We have developed a positioning template that allows you to position the OBU correctly (horizontally),
easily and symmetrically between vehicles of the same type.
The manual is available
here.
