About Your New Device

The device you are about to install connects to your vehicle’s onboard diagnostics port to gather applicable diagnostics data. It contains a GPS receiver for location and an LTE cellular modem to communicate.

Multi-function Button

The device has multi-functions in one button. It can be used to power on and off the device, force a manual sync with the device management server and to check for any error conditions. The button has the following functions:

The LEDs indicate device activity at start-up in response to button presses and its live functional status (if enabled).

Manually Syncing Settings with the Cloud

1. Press and hold the multi-functional button for 5-10s; release when the data LED illuminates.
2. The device will now connect to and sync with the cloud; a rapidly flashing data LED should be seen while the device is syncing (Note: Pending activity may delay syncing for a few minutes. If a slow flashing data LED is seen, check the error codes below).
3. The dataLED will turn off when the sync is complete.

Unlocking the Device (for shutdown and configuration)

After powering on, the device will automatically lock itself after 30 minutes to prevent unauthorized personnel from tampering with or powering down the device. Once locked, the device can only be unlocked from the cloud device management portal. To unlock the device, execute the following steps:

1. Unlock the device in the cloud device management portal.

2. Press and hold the multi-function button for5-10s; release when the dataLED illuminates.

3. The device will now connect to and sync with the cloud; a rapidly flashing data LED should be seen.

4. If the device was able to connect to the network and successfully received its unlock command, the power LEDwill now emit 3 sets of4 medium flashes. Once unlocked, the user can:

• Power down the device
• Other configuration options

5. Note: The device will stay in the unlocked state for 30 minutes after which it will lock itself again

Error Codes and Troubleshooting

When the device is running, you can check the system status via the multi- function button and LED. The following steps explain how:

1. Press and hold the multi-function button for2-4s; release when the GPS LED illuminates.
2. If there are any errors, the red, green, or blue LEDs will flash a certain number of times, followed by a 3s pause. It will then flash the next error (if any). Look up the error in the LED table below.
3. Repeat the process from step 1 to see the errors again

Pre-installation

Recommended tools and supplies for installation Basic Tools:

• Wire Strippers
• Connector Crimping Tool
• Panel Removal Tool
• Digital Multimeter (DMM)
• T-10S Torx Screwdriver

Basic Supplies:

• Ring Terminals
• Cable Zip-Ties
• Electrical Tape
• Spare Fuses (3 Amp)
• Self-Tapping Screws

Review this installation manual to become familiar with all installation procedures and electrical wiring requirements prior to starting the installation. This installation guide has been prepared to provide you with details necessary to complete the device installation. Also, review vehicle specific wiring diagram before  testing any wires.

Use of proper tools and testing equipment is required. Never use a grounding style test light. Use only a Digital Multi Meter (DMM) to test wires in the vehicle.

Ensure that all wiring is protected from heat sources and sharp metal edges and is routed in such manner that it will not get damaged or pinched when vehicle components and trim are reinstalled. Run new wiring along factory harnesses and secure with quality cable zip-ties. Be sure to leave a “service loop” near the device, enough slack in the wiring to allow working room and strain relief.

The device is NOT waterproof, never mount the device in the engine compartment. When mounting the device, determine best possible location under the dash and make sure that the device will be securely attached using self- tapping screws or cable zip-ties. Do not force or jam the device into tight places instead of mounting it. When mounting the Device, do not obstruct any serviceable areas such as fuse boxes, etc. The device and its wiring must be mounted away from any moving parts such as brake, gas, and clutch pedals and linkages.

Installation

Identify correct wires

1. Remove any interior/under dash trim necessary to gain access to vehicle’s wiring as well as all areas where interconnecting wire harnesses will need to be located.
2. Individually isolate any wires in the device’s harnesses that will not be used during installation.
3. It is strongly recommended to locate and connect constant power and ignition wires at the ignition key switch connector behind ignition key cylinder or trace and connect at ignition switch wiring harness running down steering column. (Note: If the ignition switch harness is not accessible, amperage restriction exists, or the vehicle has an electronic starting system, constant power and ignition connections can be made at the interior fuse box)
4. Use a multimeter and the color tables below to identify constant power and ignition wires.
5. The correct constant power wire will have battery voltage +12/24/48V present at all times, even when the ignition key is in off position or removed. Connect the device’s red wire here.
6. The correct ignition wire will have +12/24/48Vpresent only when the key is in ON position, during cranking and while motor is running. Connect the device’s white/yellow wire here.

Chassis Ground Connection

1. Connect the device’s ground wire (black) to vehicle’s chassis.
2. For a solid connection, use a ring tongue terminal connector, star washer and a self-tapping screw.
3. Do not ground under existing bolts that hold brackets or panels in place.

Powering on the Device

1. Connect the device to external power (typically with the vehicle).
2. Or power on the device by holding down the multi-functional button for 2-4s.
3. Power LED will illuminate when the system starts.

You may see the device progress through a series of start-up steps, indicated by different LEDs as detailed below. This process typically takes 2 minutes but can take up to 20 minutes on first power-up. Depending on GPS and cellular signal, a typical sequence may proceed as follows:

1. Power LED-Power on (~30s).
2. GPS LED slow flashing – Device GPS Receiver is on and attempting to get the device location.
3. Data LED medium flashing – Retrieving network time.(only if there was no GPS signal)
4. GPSLED rapid flashing – GPS receiver has acquired a fix but is waiting for location within target accuracy.
5. GPS LED off.
6. GPS LED slow flashing – Device GPS Receiver is on and attempting to get the device location.
7. GPS LED rapid flashing – GPS receiver has acquired a fix but is waiting for location within target accuracy.
8. Data LED medium flashing – Device is searching for a cellular network.
9. Data LED rapid flashing – Device is connected to a cellular network and transmitting/receiving data.
10. Data LED off (device has finished start-up sequence and is operational).
