INSTALLATION GUIDE

STEP 1:

INSTALLATION PREPARATION INSTRUCTION

The EFS-AVL68 unit will need to be installed inside of the asset in an area where it will not get wet or damaged. Mount the module in a location that has a clear view of the sky with no metal objects between the device and the sky.

Note: Metallic objects between the GPS unit and the satellites will degrade the signal and reduce the overall performance.

STEP 2:

INSTALLATION

Main Power
Connect the RED wire to (+) 12 Volt constant power, or directly to the asset’s battery.

Ignition Wire
Connect the BROWN ignition wire to a power source that has power when the asset is turned on and running.
If the asset you are installing on does not have an ignition source available, you can connect the BROWN ignition wire directly to the vehicle’s battery.

Note: the asset will always report in the application as it is on with no ignition state updates.

Chassis Ground
Connect the BLACK (-) Input wire to a solid chassis ground uninhibited by paint or rust; do not use any floating grounds from the vehicle’s electrical system. Always connect the ground wire directly to the asset’s chassis and secure the connection with a factory bolt or aftermarket self-tapping screw.

I/O input and output function
The EFS-AVL68 has two configurable outputs that can be used to trigger an SPDT automotive relay to trigger items like horns or light flash.

Note: Outputs are low power and require a relay if used; if not it may result in damage to the device. The output will also need to be set up by M2M in Motion.

STEP 3:

TESTING THE EFS-AVL68

After installing the EFS-AVL68, move the asset outside and start the vehicle. Let it run for five minutes allowing time for the GPS receiver to receive a good signal from the GPS satellites.

Confirming the LED Lights

  1. The EFS-AVL68 has LEDs located on the top of the module:
    Flash RED at start-up
    Flash GREEN when its location is received

  2. Log into The EM Fleet solutions website and confirm the vehicle location.

Note: The vehicle must be outside with an unobstructed view of the sky for its first location to be set in the application.
