Installation work order, job card and handover certificate

What the technician records on the job, one file per vehicle: the order, the vehicle, the device and SIM, the wiring points, the photos, the tests run and the signed handover. The fleet's own acceptance check is a separate step.

The job card

The wiring checks, in the order you do them

Part 5 turns a good install into a record. Follow the vehicle maker's and Tracom's instructions for your device.

  1. Disconnect the battery

    Disconnect before you work and reconnect when you finish. The card has a line for both.

    Ground
  2. Ground to bare chassis metal

    Remove the paint at the point, tighten the screw and write down where it is.

    Ground
  3. Permanent supply with a fuse

    Take it from a permanent live feed, not a switched or accessory feed. Fit the fuse close to the supply point, with the rating from the device datasheet. Measure the voltage and record it.

    12/24 V
  4. Ignition sense

    Use a wire that is live only with the key on. Measure it with the key off and with the key on.

    ACC
  5. Inputs, outputs and antenna

    Panic button, driver ID reader, buzzer, sensors, relay and antenna. Record the wire colour and the tap point of each.

    Signal
  6. Seal, tie, photograph

    Apply the seals, tie the harness away from heat and moving parts, and take the ten photos before the panels go back.

  7. Test, then hand over

    Run the 12 tests in Part 7, then sign Part 9 with the customer.

A handover that says what was tested

Part 9 repeats nothing from memory. The installer and the customer sign under the results of Parts 5 to 7, with the warranty start date and the briefing the customer received.

PassCheck againFail: fix before handoverNot fitted

Many vehicles on one order? Part 10 is a landscape batch sheet: plate, IMEI, ICCID, date, seal, test result and the customer's initials.

What does an installation work order hold?

The order says who does what, where and when. The job card says what was done. Together they answer the questions that come back months later:

  • Which device, SIM and seal went on which vehicle, and on what date.
  • Who installed it, with which training certificate, if any.
  • Which accessories were fitted and where each sits.
  • What the device did on the day you left.

Wiring checks that prevent callbacks

Most "the device does not report" calls start with a connection made in a hurry: a switched supply that dies with the key, a ground on painted metal, a fuse far from the supply, a splice that loosens. Part 5 puts each of these on a line with Pass, Fail or N/A, and asks for the measured voltage where it matters.

The fuse rating is not printed in the file. Write the value from the datasheet of your device model.

Photos and tests as proof

Ten photos are listed, each with a line for the file name. Twelve functional tests follow: power, ignition on and off, position, data at the server, SIM and signal, and the accessories that are fitted.

The test list is general. When you hold the official Tracom test list for your device model, replace or extend Part 7 with it.

The handover certificate

It has two statements, one for the installer and one for the customer, then the warranty start date, a field for a provider or operator authorisation number if one is required where you operate, and a tick line for a tracking sticker where local rules ask for one. Check the current official text of those rules yourself.

Limits of this template

It records an install. It does not prove that an installer is qualified, and it does not replace the vehicle maker's instructions, your safety rules or a legal review. The warranty terms stay in your own policy.

Questions

Installation certificate questions, answered

Need installation notes for a Tracom model? Talk to Tracom.

Is one file for one vehicle?

Yes. Print one copy per vehicle. For many vehicles on one order, fill Parts 1 to 9 once and use the batch sheet in Part 10.

Does it work for non-Tracom devices?

Yes. The fields are generic: model, serial number, IMEI, SIM and accessories. The test list is general too.

Which fuse do I write?

The one in the datasheet of your device model. The file leaves the value blank on purpose.

Can I add my logo?

Yes. The file is an editable Word document. Put your logo in the header and change the footer.

Does the certificate prove my work meets a standard?

No. It records what you did and measured. It does not say that any law, standard or authority requirement is met. Have it reviewed legally before use.

What is Tracom's role here?

Tracom makes the devices. The template is a neutral record-keeping tool. It does not replace the instructions for your device or a legal review.
