Further WIRING Recommendations
Wires should be connected while module is not plugged in/ or the vehicle battery is disconnected.
Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving parts. Try to avoid heat emitting and
moving objects near the wires. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires in to the
loom, it should be re-applied when the fitting is finished and tested. If the wires are placed outside
or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional
isolation should be applied to the connections. Wires cannot be connected to the board of vehicle
computers or control units.
Connecting Power Source
Be sure that the power to the tracker is a CONSTANT SOURCE Supply. i.e. ensure that when the
vehicle is turned off, power stays permanently on the RED wire.
When module is connected, voltage should not drop below 9v. It is recommended to connect to
the main power cable in the fuse box where possible.
Connecting Ignition Wire
Be sure to check that this connection is to a real ignition wire. i.e. power does not disappear while
the engine is running.
Check this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most electronics of the vehicle are
available).
Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.
Connecting Ground Wire
Ground wire should be connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame. If
the wire is fixed using a bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire. In some cases
consider removing paint to expose the metal of the vehicle where loop is connected.
NOTE: Connecting the power supply must be carried out using a very low impedance point on-
board the vehicle. The best points in the vehicle are the battery terminals. Therefore, we
recommend connecting the power of tracker directly to the battery terminals. If this is not possible,
another option is to connect the tracker to the main fuse box.
Connection of the GROUND cable must be made to a true vehicle-GND connection point. i.e. a
zero-volt, low impedance path back to battery-GND. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary point to
the mass of the car is unacceptable, as static and fluctuating voltages on the GROUND line can
cause unpredictable tracker behaviour, or even lead to an unstable tracker installation; potentially
even its failure.
