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]
- Install the Evo device in a concealed location under the dash.
- Hold it in place.
- Mark the location for the velcro.
- Attached is velcro to the back of the device and the other to the dash.

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.

[TECHNICAL DATA]
Technical Data
| Operating Voltage | 7V – 28V |
|---|---|
| Power Consumption | 2.5 mA (standby), 50 mA (active) |
| Operating Temperature | -30°C to +75°C |
| Storage Temperature | -40°C to +85°C |
| Operation Humidity | 20% to 90% (non-condensing) |
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.
