device wiring definition

Power cables and interface
The standard input voltage of device is 7V-72VDC, so please choose the our original power cables, the red cable is positive and the black cable is negative; Please ground negative pole separately or ground it to ground connection, not to any other ground. Connect the ACC cable (orange cable) to ACC switch of the vehicle, the position server will get ignition status of vehicle; the ACC cable can also be connected directly to the positive pole of the vehicle power, then the position server think that the vehicle is always ignited.
Connect the 4# cable (yellow cable) to the 85 device(with small yellow cable) of the relay. Use cable ties to fix the relay to a waterproof place, or use plastic bags cover the relay. Connect the Temperature sensor with PIN7 & PIN8.

Relay wiring
Relay wiring diagram shows how to wire the relay to control the fuel pump:

• Connect the 86 port to the positive pole of the vehicle power (+12V/+24V), connect the 85 port to the 4# cable of device.
• Cut off the positive pole of the fuel pump, next serial connect the positive pole to the 87a port of the relay, and connect another pole to 30 port, showing as in the figure. Bottom of the relay Wiring Diagram
  Notice: Be sure the voltage of the vehicle power should match up to the working voltage of relay, or relay will be damaged.

Power On / Off

Power on
Power on: insert a valid SIM card and wire all the cables, device will power on.

LED Indicators

Troubleshooting

Cannot connect platform

device is never online on the position server when installed at the first time. Please check device:

1. If power cables are wired correctly? Pay attention to not connect them to controlling cables of vehicle.
2. If SIM card is installed correctly? Please refer to the installation instructions.
3. Check the status of LED indicators. If device is OK, red LED and blue LED will intermittently flick.
4. I nquiry parameters of device via commands and check replied parameters.

Offline status
First check if LED indicators are OK, if cannot check them, you can check SIM card by following next steps:

1. call SIM card of device and check if you can hear the connecting ring.
2. Check if vehicle is in the area where there is no GSM/LTE signal.
3. Check if one device or all devices are offline in the area . If all devices are offline, you should ask operator If network is OK.
4. Check if SIM card has enough balance.
5. If device becomes offline on the last day of one month, please check GPRS is closed or not.

No positioned
If the GPS is active, but device cannot be positioned for long time, please check device:

1. If the vehicle is in the place where there is no GPS signal.
2. The upside of device should be installed with face toward the sky.
3. The GSM/LTE and GPS signal may be weakened if device is installed in the place with electromagnetic wave absorption material(such as metal blocks), special attention should be paid if there is metal thermal insulation layer or heating layer on the front windshield, so that the position accuracy will decline, and the severe ones will not be positioned.

Position drift
Serious position drift will be found in places where GPS signal is poor. Please drive the vehicle to the open places. Commands receiving abnormally

1. Check the format of the command.
2.  Check if the vehicle is in the places where there is GSM signal.
3. Check if the SIM card is properly installed.
