Introduction
This Special Instruction will provide instructions for
installation and configuration of second-generation Product Link
systems, PL121SR and PL321SR.
This Special Instruction also provides instructions on replacing
the first generation of Product Link (PL151 and PL201) with the
second generation of Product Link (PL121SR and PL321SR) in existing
installations.
The second generation of Product Link has been installed on
three categories of machines.
One category of machines is referred to as "Legacy" machines.
The Legacy machines are older machines that do not have a wiring
harness that accommodates Product Link already installed.
Connectors are not readily available to install the PL121SR and
PL321SR components. The Product Link components that are used in
the Legacy machines are in the Universal Installation Group.
The second category of machines is referred to as "Product Link
Ready" machines. A machine is considered to be "Product Link Ready"
if the machine was assembled at the factory with a wiring harness
with proper connectors to install PL121SR and PL321SR components.
The "Product Link Ready" machines use the components that are in
the 257-0430 PL121SR Communication Installation Gp , 273-5724
PL321SR Communication Installation Gp , or the 273-5726 PL300
Communication Installation Gp (for machines that already have a
PL121SR installed).
The third category of machines that are not Caterpillar
machines. These machines use the components of the 257-0430 PL121SR
Communication Installation Gp .
Personal injury or death can result when voiding this
certification.
Structural damage, an overturn, modification, alteration, or
improper repair can impair the Rollover Protective Structure's
(ROPS) protection capability thereby voiding this
certification.
Do not drill holes in the ROPS. Do not weld on the ROPS unless
welding is specified in the procedure. Place welds only at the
locations that are specified in the procedure.
To avoid possible weakening of this ROPS, consult a Caterpillar
dealer before altering this ROPS in any way. The protection offered
by this ROPS will be impaired if it has been subjected to
structural damage.

(1) Yellow LED Orbcomm communication fix status
(2) Orange LED GPS fix status
(3) Green LED engine running status
The green LED is on when the engine is running. If the green LED
is off, the engine is off.
Note: On some models of Track-Type Tractors and Pipelayers, the
403-GN wire has not been installed at the factory. In those
instances, the green LED will never illuminate.
The orange LED flashes while the GPS receiver searches for GPS
satellites. When the system obtains a valid fix, the LED stops
flashing and remains illuminated.
The yellow LED flashes while the PL121SR radio searches for a
connection with an Orbcomm satellite. When the radio obtains a
connection with an Orbcomm satellite, the LED stops flashing and
will remain illuminated.
Note: The LED will resume flashing when the radio loses the
connection with the satellite. The LED will continue to flash while
the radio seeks a connection to the next satellite in view.

Do not connect the 257-9364 Universal Harness As or the 256-6804
Control Harness As directly to the PL121SR radio. Connecting either
of these harnesses directly to the PL121SR radio will disrupt
communications between Cat ET and the radio.
Do not mount the PL121SR radio in an area that will expose the
radio to extreme conditions of heat. Exposure to high heat may make
the radio inoperable.
The preferred mounting location for the radio is inside the cab
or another enclosed structure. If you are unable to place the radio
inside the cab, then orient the radio with the two TNC antenna
connectors downward. Refer to Illustration 18.
Mount the radio more than 500 mm (19.7 inch) from the antenna in
order to minimize interference between the radio and the
antenna.
Mount the radio accordingly so that the antenna cable can be
connected without producing any sharp bends that may damage the
cable.
The maximum torque for the radio mounting bolts is 3.5 Nm (2.6
lb ft).
The maximum torque for the TNC antenna connectors is 0.68 Nm (6
lb in).
Locate the radio so that the radio connectors are not exposed to
high-pressure spray or underwater immersion. Exposure to
high-pressure spray or underwater immersion may compromise the
connector seals and lead to connection failure.
Do not attach the radio to the ROPS.
The radio must be installed on a flat surface.
Do not mount the radio in direct sunlight.
For more specific guidelines, refer to Special Instruction,
SEHS6929, "Inspection, Maintenance, and Repair of Rollover
Protective Structures (ROPS) and Attachment Installation
Guidelines" as well as any other published guidelines that are
specific for a machine serial number.
Mounting Instructions for the PL121SR Radio
Once the location for the radio has been chosen, refer to
Illustration 18. The Illustration 18 shows the proper location and
size of the holes that are needed to mount the radio.
Refer to Illustration 10 for a template of the radio.
1. Lay out the necessary hole pattern. Refer to Illustration
18.
2. Drill the holes.
3. Install the required bolts, washers, and locknuts in order to
secure the radio.
4. Tighten the mounting bolts for the radio to 3.5 Nm (2.6 lb
ft).

Select a Location for the PL300 ECM
When mounting the PL300 ECM, ensure that the supplied 6 m (19.7
ft) harness will connect between the radio and the PL300 ECM.
Orient the ECM module so that the ECM connector will not be
subjected to high-pressure spray or underwater immersion. Exposure
to high-pressure spray or underwater immersion may compromise the
connector seal and will lead to connector failure.
Do not mount the ECM module in the engine compartment or in
other areas so that the ECM will be exposed to extreme heat.
Exposure to extreme heat may make the ECM inoperable.
Do not mount the ECM module in an area so that the ECM could be
damaged.
The ECM must be installed on a flat surface.
The desired static stiffness of the mounting points for the
Product Link should be 1800N/mm (ten times mount stiffness). In no
case should the stiffness at the mounting points be less than
540N/mm (three times the mount stiffness).
A boss or a welded stud is the preferred mounting hardware on a
machine.
The mounting torque on the mounting bolts is 12 Nm (8.8 lb
ft).
Refer to Illustration 29 for the connection of the ground
strap.
