Wiring of Standard Version

Tips for finding right wires:

  1. Use multi meter to find out the positive and negative sides of vehicle battery.
    Note: No matter the ignition key is switched to ON or OFF, current battery voltage can be shown in the multi meter.

  2. The way to find ACC wire: Connect multi meter’s black probe to negative side, and connect red probe to a random wire, at this moment, the voltage shown in multi meter is 0V; turn the key to ON, if the supply voltage is shown, that’s the correct ACC wire.

  3. Connect the two connectors together, if the vehicle has no connector, please connect device’s wires to corresponding vehicle wires.

Power connection
The standard power supply ranges from 9V to 36VDC.
During installation, negative side should connect to the ground.
Do not connect with other ground wires simultaneously.

lgnition wire
ACC line(orange) connects to vehicle’s ACC, detecting ignition.
Be sure to check if it’s a real ignition wire i.e. power does not disappear after starting the engine.

Relay wiring
Relay’s white line connects to the positive side of battery(12V) while the yellow line connects to the device’s relay control (yellow line on power cord).

Find the fuel pump of the vehicle and cut off its positive power line. The positive side of fuel pump connects to the green line(87a) while the side closing to starter motor connects to green line(30), as the below chart. Switch of the two green lines have the same effect.

12V relay is standard. The device is suitable for vehicles with 12V supply. If the vehicle power supply is
24V, use 24V relay.

Device installation

Important notes:

  • The GPS tracker is equipped with the inertial navigation system (INS) , which can be used as a short-term fallback while GPS signals are unavailable, for example when a vehicle passes through a tunnel. To ensure GPS & INS tracking and driver behaviour monitoring and to avoid GPS drift, please fix the device with the Velcro provided.
  • You can install the device at any direction as the relative installation angle will be automatically calculated after the vehicle moves for a while.
  • The device should face up to sky.
  • Metal thermal barrier or heating layer, which are always installed on windshield, may affect the signal, please avoid installing the device under these objects.

Installation recommendation

Please install the device under the guidance of professional personnel.

Platform & APP 

  1. Login service platform Please login the designated service platform to set and operate the device.
  2. Download APP Please download and install the APP in designated website, APP store or Google Play store.

Driver behaviour monitoring

Harsh acceleration alert
The device defines harsh acceleration as occurring when the vehicle’s speed increases sharply. And alert will be sent to the platform.
E.g: The vehicle’s speed increase from 0KM/H to 50KM/H after 2 seconds of engine start.

Harsh brake alert
The device defines harsh braking as occurring when the vehicle’s speed decreases sharply. And alert will be sent to the platform.
E.g: The vehicle’s speed drops from 50KM/H to 10KM/H after 2 seconds of emergency braking.

Sharp turn alert
The device defines sharp turn as occurring when the vehicle makes high-speed turn. And alert will be sent to the platform.
E.g: The driving speed is greater than 30KM/H, and the angle change is greater than 90 degrees.

Harsh lane change alert
The device defines harsh lane change as occurring when the vehicle suddenly change lanes at high speed. And alert will be sent to the platform.
E.g: The driving speed is greater than 60KM/H, and the angle change is less than 20 degrees.

Crash alert
If collision occurs, the device will send alert to the platform.
Slight impact and scratch will not trigger the alert.

Rolling alert
When the vehicle-rolling angle exceeds 70°, the device will send alert to the platform.

Vehicle drift alert
When the vehicle changes the course angle for more than 3 seconds at an angular velocity Greater than 20° / s, the device will sent a alert to the platform.

Vehicle angle abnormality
When the vehicle rolling angle is greater than 20° and less than 70°, the device will send alert to the platform.

Collision alarm uploading IMU data
Setting the BEFORUBI switch to OFF, when a collision alarm occurs, the device will package and upload 20Hz IMU data to the platform, 10 seconds before the collision and 10 seconds after the collision, which users can use to reconstruct the accident process.

Troubleshooting

Type Use
Unable to connect to Amber connect Check the APN and IP settings.

Check whether the data service of SIM card is enabled. Check the balance of SIM card.

Tracker shows offline| Check whether external power is still connected. Check if the vehicle entered network blind area. Check the balance of SIM card.
Unable to connect locate| Make sure the top side facing upward without metallic things shielded.

Make sure it’s not in area with no satellite coverage.

Location drift| In area with poor GNSS signal (tall building around or basement), drifting may happen. Check whether vibration happens around to trigger the accelerator.
No command reply| Make sure command format is correct. Vehicle may be in network blind area. Make sure SIM card is well inserted and has SMS service.
