Use this workflow to install the ATIS integration cable (either the ACC-AG-BATIS-MER Meritor cable or the ACC-AG-BATIS-HEN Hendrickson cable) on a trailer equipped with an Asset Gateway (AG52 or AG53).
The following tables display the items that are included with each cable. Refer to the items for your cable type.

-
If you have not already done so, install your AG for ABS tracking using the CBL-AG-BPLC cable.
-
Locate the ATIS control unit on the trailer.
Typically the ATIS control unit is located on the bogie, either in front of or behind the axles.
-
Determine the type of installation by tracing the the wiring harness exiting the ATIS control unit:
-
If there is a 3-pin Weather-Pack connector installed on the wiring harness, perform a 3-Pin Connector Installation.
-
If there is no connector and the ATIS is a Meritor or PSI system, open the ATIS unit. Perform the workflow for your configuration:
-
If there are quick disconnect terminals, perform a Direct Installation With Disconnect Terminals.
-
If there are no quick disconnect terminals, perform a Direct Installation Without Disconnect Terminals
-
-
-
Unplug the 3-pin connector. If needed, remove the Connector Position Assurance (CPA) lock or zip-tie to unplug the connector.
-
Connect the ACC-AG-BATIS-HEN cable: Plug the male end of the cable into the ATIS connector. Plug the female end of the ACC-AG-BATIS-HEN cable to the ATIS lamp connector.
-
Cut the end cap off of the input leg of the AG cable.
-
Route the remaining loose wire of the ACC-AG-BATIS-HEN cable towards the installed AG, avoiding sharp corners or moving parts that could damage the cable.
-
Carefully strip 1in (2.5 cm) of the AG cable jacket, taking care to avoid damaging the wires. Pull away and remove any protective material from the wires inside.
-
Strip back 5/16 in (8 mm) of the green/white wire and slide the small heat-shrink tube over the wire for later use.
-
Using the butt splice, connect the black ATIS cable wire to the green/white AG cable input wire.
-
Position the heat-shrink tube over the connection and use a heat gun or torch to carefully shrink the heat-shrink tube until the adhesive starts to flow out of the shrink tube.
-
Carefully bundle any excess input wire using cable ties every 12-18 in (30-50 cm). If securing to air hoses or other sensitive components, take care not to over-tighten the cable ties.
-
Configure Auxiliary Input 1 on the AG for the ATIS Lamp.
-
Validate that the ATIS lamp functions properly, following the manufacturer's instructions to test the ATIS lamp.
-
To monitor ATIS lamp activations, see Trailer ATIS Visibility and Alerts.
-
Disconnect both quick disconnect terminal wires from the ATIS flow sensing switch.
-
Route the black wire into the ATIS unit using one of the following methods:
-
(Preferred) New cable gland: Drill a 12.5 mm (½") hole for the cable gland that comes pre-installed on the wire. Insert the wire through the hole and secure the gland:
-
Tighten the gland attachment to the box to 22.1 in-lb (2.5 N·m) of torque.
-
Tighten the dome sealing nut to 14.4 in-lb (1.6 N·m) of torque.
-
-
Existing cable gland: If the existing cable gland is large enough, route the black wire into the ATIS box through the existing cable gland.
-
Duckbill vent: Route the wire through the duckbill vent on the bottom of the ATIS box, squeezing the duckbill to pass the wire through.
-
-
Connect the ATIS lamp and ACC-AG-BATIS-MER cable to the terminal splitter onto the flow sensing switch:
Install the terminal splitter onto the flow sensing switch.
-
Route the remaining loose wire of the ACC-AG-BATIS-MER cable towards the installed AG, avoiding sharp corners or moving parts that could damage the cable.
-
Carefully strip 1in (2.5 cm) of the AG cable jacket, taking care to avoid damaging the wires. Pull away and remove any protective material from the wires inside.
-
Strip back 5/16 in (8 mm) of the green/white wire and slide the small heat-shrink tube over the wire for later use.
-
Using the butt splice, connect the black ATIS cable wire to the green/white AG cable input wire.
-
Position the heat-shrink tube over the connection and use a heat gun or torch to carefully shrink the heat-shrink tube until the adhesive starts to flow out of the shrink tube.
-
Carefully bundle any excess input wire using cable ties every 12-18 in (30-50 cm). If securing to air hoses or other sensitive components, take care not to over-tighten the cable ties.
-
Configure Auxiliary Input 1 on the AG for the ATIS Lamp.
-
Validate that the ATIS lamp functions properly, following the manufacturer's instructions to test the ATIS lamp.
-
To monitor ATIS lamp activations, see Trailer ATIS Visibility and Alerts.
Note
ATIS lamp wire colors can vary. In most cases, the lamp harness includes a white wire that is always hot (constantly powered) and a black wire that supplies switched power to the lamp. To ensure proper installation, connect the ATIS cable to the black lamp power wire—not the always-hot white wire. Use a multimeter or test light to confirm wire function before proceeding with the installation.
-
On the lamp harness, choose a convenient location to cut the connector and strip back 1 in (2.5 cm) of the cable jacket to expose the conductors.
Note
Ensure that you cut the ATIS lamp harness and not the ABS harness.
-
Strip back 5/16 in (8 mm) of the insulation on each conductor.
-
Slide the large heat-shrink tubing over one side of the cable for later use.
-
Using the 14-16 AWG (medium) heat-shrink insulated butt splice, reconnect the 12V power lead (typically white).
-
Twist together the black input wire from the ACC-AG-BATIS-MER cable with the black wire in the lamp wiring harness and insert these wires into one side of the 14-16 AWG heat-shrink insulated butt splice. Crimp wires to secure them to the butt splice.
-
Insert the remaining black wire from the lamp wiring harness into the other side of the butt splice. Crimp the connection to secure it to the butt splice.
-
Use a heat gun or torch to shrink the two butt splices.
-
When the butt splices have cooled, slide the large heat-shrink tube over the connection and use a heat gun or torch to shrink the tube.
-
Route the remaining loose wire of the ACC-AG-BATIS-MER cable towards the installed AG, avoiding sharp corners or moving parts that could damage the cable.
-
Carefully strip 1in (2.5 cm) of the AG cable jacket, taking care to avoid damaging the wires. Pull away and remove any protective material from the wires inside.
-
