  2. Each device is checked for connectivity prior to being delivered to a client site.
  3. The device is not IP67 rated, so be cautious when installing it in the engine bay or in an exposed location.
Warning: Do not disassemble the device, If the device is damaged, the power supply cables are not isolated or the isolation is damaged, DO NOT touch the device before unplugging the power supply.

Installation Tips

  1. Standard installation is the connection of:
    1. Power
    2. Ground
    3. Ignition source
  2. This device can be mounted on the asset to be tracked using screws, bolts, cable ties or industrial adhesives.
  3. Mounting the device in a horizontal orientation with the label side facing down is recommended.
  4. Do not mount under metal objects.
  5. The device should be mounted as far away from the radio and speakers as possible.
  6. When using an OBDII connector to install a Dash, ensure that the device is secured to a sturdy wiring loom or bracket under the vehicle dash and that the excess cable is cable tied out of the way.
  7. The OBDII port of most vehicles is located on the driver’s side of the vehicle under the steering column or in the foot well. Ensure that the OBDII connector is firmly plugged in at both ends.
Note: If the device is not securely mounted to the vehicle then it may trigger false accident/rollover alerts and harsh driving events.
  1. Connecting Wires:
    1. Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged in.
    2. Wires should be fastened to stable wires or non-moving parts. Any heat omitting and/or moving objects should be kept away from wires.
    3. There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires, the isolation material should be applied
    4. If wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt etc. additional isolation should be applied, and the wires should not be loose.
  2. Connecting Power Source:
    1. After the vehicle computer goes to sleep mode, power might be still available on the power wires. Depending on the vehicle, this may happen in 5-30 minutes period.
    2. When the module is connected, measure the voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.
    3. It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
    4. 3A, 125 V external fuse to be used.
  3. Connecting Ignition Wire:
    1. Check if it is a real ignition wire i.e. power does not disappear after starting the engine.
    2. Check if this is not an ACC wire (when the key is in the first position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).
    3. Check if power is still available when you turn off any of the vehicle device.
    4. Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.
  4. Connecting Ground Wire:
    1. Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
    2. If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end wire.
