Installation team must follow the below Accessory connection for efficient working. If installation has to be done with different patterns then please contact your immediate tech support for the possibilities. You can configure these accessories settings in our amber connect fleet management platform.
Fleet Portal > Settings > Vehicle > Safety > Device Input Configuration [This setting available Only to specific device models that supports the accessories]

Warning : These settings should exactly match with the actual accessories connected to the device ports during the installation. If you make any changes on this will result in data reception from accessories to the device. So Kindly make sure you are changing this with proper understanding of which accessory connected to which wire during the installation.

Wiring Scheme

Mounting Recommendations

Mounting Recommendations
Connecting wires

• a) Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged in.
• b) Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other non-moving parts. Any heat emitting and/or moving objects should be kept away from the wires.
• c) There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was removed while connecting the wires, the isolation material should be applied.
• d) If the 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 thewires should not be loose.
• e) Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.

Connecting power source

• a) Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode, power might be still available on the power wires. Depending on the car model, this may happen in 5 to 30-minute period.
• b) When the module is connected, measure the voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.
• c) It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
• d) 3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.

Connecting ignition wire

• a) Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does not disappear after starting the engine.
• b) Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most of thevehicle electronics are available).
• c) Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicle’s devices.
• d) The ignition  is connected to the ignition relay output. As an alternative, any other relay,which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.

Connecting ground wire

• a) Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
• b) If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.
• c) For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.
