3.2 Wiring diagram
Optional
Notice: Purple line (ADC) of terminal connects to analog signals line, like voltage of the external device, analog temperature sensor, fuel sensor. The voltage detected by analog signal ranges from 0-30Vdc.
Wiring Instruction
-
The standard power supply ranges from 9V to 36VDC. Please use the power cord manufactured by the original factory. Redline means positive side while the black line means negative side. During installation, the negative side should connect to the ground, do not connect with other ground wires at the same time.
-
ACC line (orange) connects to the vehicle’s ACC switch, detecting ignition on and off.
-
The device’s oil and electricity control line (yellow) connects to relay’s 86. (thin yellow line of relay socket)
Relay wiring instruction
Relay wiring way of oil pump open circuit: On each end of the wire is a thin white line (85) and a thin yellow line (86). A thin white line (85) connects to the positive side of the battery (12V) while a thin yellow line (86) connects to the device relay control. There is an oil pump in the vehicle. Cut off the positive line. The positive side of the oil pump connects to the close-end of the relay.(Thick green line 87a), and the other side connects to relay’s common(green thick 30).
Notice
12V relay is standard. The device is suitable for vehicles with 12V batteries. If the vehicle has a 24V battery, then a 24V relay is needed. -
To monitor analog signals, the purple line (ADC) of the extended port should be connected to the analog line.
-
To check the status of the car door, a green line (IN1) should be connected to where between the door light and door switch (See the diagram).
-
To find the car remotely, please connect the yellow line (OUT1) of the extended port to the external relay.
3.3 Device Installation
Note :
The device should face up to the sky.
Metal thermal barrier or heating layer of the windshield affects the signal.
Please change Installation places to receive better signals.
Operation of device
Power on/ Power off
Power on: Once you insert a valid SIM card and connect all the wires,
turn on the device. Power LED will flash first. During the signal
searching process, GSM LED and GPS(blue) LED will flash. Once Blue GPS LED
keeps steadily ON, it means the device has been located and it starts to work.
Power off: Just toggle off the power switch.
Notice:
When the device is connected with external power, please turn on the battery
switch. The battery will then connect with the device circuits and its built-
in battery will be charged. If the battery is OFF, the battery can’t be
charged. The device will be power off if no external power supply.
Main Functions
5.1 SOS
In emergent cases, press SOS for 3 seconds to activate the SOS alarm. Then
the device will send SOS SMS to preset SOS numbers and then dial the numbers
in a loop 3 times until the call is picked up. Alarm messages will also send
to the platform. (See command list 7-9)
5.2 Power cut-off alarm
When the electricity supply of the device is cut off, It will activate the
cut-off alarm.
5.3 Low battery alarm
When the battery is low, the device will activate the low battery alarm.
The device will send alerts through SMS and to the platform.
5.4 Vibration alarm (default OFF)
When the vehicle vibrates several times, the vibration alarm will be
triggered. If ignition keeps OFF for 3 minutes (ACC OFF), the device will send
a vibration alarm message immediately. (See command list 713)
5.5 Voice monitoring
- When MIC is connected while the speaker is not, use pre-set SOS number to dial the device, after 10 seconds, the device enters into monitoring mode automatically. The caller can hear the voice inside the vehicle.
Notice
-
Pre-set SOS number is necessary.
The non-SOS numbers cannot activate this function. -
SIM card of the device must have caller ID service.
5.6 Two-way communication
To activate this function, ensure that both MIC and speaker are connected well.
Use pre-set SOS number to dial the device, after 10 seconds, the device enters into two-way talk mode.
5.7 Displacement alarm(default OFF)
The device will send a movement alarm when the vehicle moves out the
preset distance (when ACC is off and GPS is fixed).
5.8 Oil/Electricity cut-off
When a vehicle is stolen, the oil/electricity cut-off command can be sent
by platform, APP or SMS.
Notice
- Make sure ACC is correctly connected.
- When ACC is OFF, the command will be executed immediately.
- When ACC is ON, but GPS is not fixed, the command will be postponed.
- When ACC is ON, GPS is fixed, the command will be executed when the vehicle speed is less than 20km/h.
If you want to cut off/restore oil by SMS command, you have to set a center number firstly. Only the center number can send the cut-off/restore oil command to the device. (See command list 7-15)
Notice
- 0nly the SOS number can be used to set the center number.
- Only the SOS number can be used to delete the center number.
- There is only one center number that can be set.
5.9 Restore oil/electricity
When an alarm is all clear, you can send a restore oil/electricity command
by platform, APP, or SMS and restore vehicle power. (See command list 7-16)
5.10 Restart device
If GPRS Is abnormal (the device is offline), the user can send the SMS
command RESET# to restart the device. The device will reboot after 20 seconds
after receiving the command. (See command list 7-17)
5.11 Door detection
The device is able to detect door status. It uploads car status to the
platform and APP in a timely. Negative triggering is the default. When the car
door’s status is negative triggering, there is no need to set. Instead, if car
door status is positive triggering, the triggering way has to be modified.
(Command: DOOR,1#). See 3.2 diagram- 1 for wiring way. (See command list 7-18)
Notice
Negative triggering (default): when the door is open, the signal level of
the door is OV; when the door is closed, the signal level of the door is power
voltage. Positive triggering: when the door is open, the signal level of the
door is power voltage; when the door is closed, the signal level of the door
is OV.
5.12 Analog signal
The device can measure the car battery’s voltage and upload it to the
platform/APP in a fixed time based on your needs. Purple line (ADC) of device
extended port can receive an analog signal, like voltage of the external
device, analog temperature sensor, and fuel sensor. The voltage range of
analog input is 0-30Vdc. See 3.2 diagram for wiring way. (See command list
7-19)
5.13 Lithium battery charging protection
Built-in battery won’t be charged when the temperature is over 50°C or less
than -20°.
As soon as the temperature is lower than 48°C or above -18°, battery charging
will be restored.
5.14 Controllable output
The device supports high/low-level output, which could be configured by
commands based on needs.
