Welcome

Experience 4G LTE Evo, the next evolution in GPS tracking. Advantage by Procon Analytics – where automotive telematics meets genuine analytics.

Installation Made Easy

Tools needed for installation: screwdrivers, wire strippers and cutters, crimping tool, and voltmeter. Plus, you might want to have the following handy: connectors, velcro, and zip ties.

• Make sure there is no metal above the device as it may interfere with the signal.
• Keep it from direct exposure to the sun, heat, rain, moisture, etc., and away from heater vents or hot engine compartments.
• Do not tightly kink or wrap the excess cable.

Mounting Eva

[ILLUSTRATIONS I & 2]

1. Install the Evo device in a concealed location under the dash.
2.  Hold it in place.
3. Mark the location for the velcro.

Evo Wiring

[POWER/SERIAL CABLE DIAGRAM]

We’ve included a detachable wiring harness. Connect everything before plugging the harness into the Evo device.

Black Wire:
Ground ­ Connect the ground wire to the vehi cl e chassis (should always be the first connection made.)

Red Wire:
12 VDC Constant Power ­ Connect to a constant power source. Voltage should read 12V when the vehicle’s ignition line is in the off position.

White Wire:
Ignition input (optional unless payment reminder is used)

Green Wire:
Programming Input (not used)

Yellow Wire:
Output (Connects to starter interrupter relay)

Once the wires are at t ached and Evo is mounted, plug the harness into it and power up.

The LED indicators will show:

• A solid green light indicates good cellular coverage.

Note: If the light does not lock on and go solid, you’re not getting a good signal. The unit will not track properly.

• A solid red light indicates a good GPS signal.

ECM Starter Disable

[DIAGRAM 1]

If the starter is controlled by the ECM (Engine Control Module), splice the wire that leads directly from the ECM to t the starter.

Note: Do not splice into the wire leading from the ignition switch to the ECM.

Note: Yellow wire connects to Yellow relay wire.
Note: Ground should always be the f I r st connect me on made

Starter Interrupter

[OPTIONAL FEATURE ­ DIAGRAM 1]

• Locate and cut the st art er w ire of t the vehicle. This wire will only display 12VDC while the vehicle is st art-ing.
• Connect yellow wire from the harness to the yellow wire of the starter interrupt relay.
• Connect the red wire from the starter interrupt relay to the ignition switch side of the starter wire.
• Connect the white wire of the starter interrupt relay to the starter side of the starter wire.

Payment Reminder

[OPTIONAL FEATURE]

• Locate a switch ignition power wire that reads 12V when the vehicle’s ignition is in the ON position and 0 Volt s when the vehicle ignition is in the OFF position. The ignition wire rets as 12V as the vehicle is st art-ing.
• Connect the white wire from the harness to the vehicle’s ignition wire.
• If the white wire is not connected ed, the payment reminder feature will act at e upon the change of vehicle voltage, instead of when the vehicle st art s.

Note: If the white wire is not connected properly, the payment reminder option will not function as designed.

LED Troubleshooting

[TECHNICAL DATA]

Technical Data

Solid Green = Cellular Signal is OK
Flashing Green = Searching
Solid Red = GPS Signal is OK Flashing
Flashing Red = Searching

Note: The following LED behavior is indicative of an over-the-air update:

• Solid Red (15 secs.)
• Green and Red flashing simultaneously (about 60 secs.).

Installation may continue while the device receives updates, however, all ways confirm both LEDs are solid before finalizing.
