Wiring Diagram

Notice: Purple line (ADC) of terminal connects to analog signals line, like voltage of external device, analog temperature sensor, fuel sensor. 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. Red line means positive side while the black line means the 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.
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 thin white line (85) and thin yellow line (86). Thin white line (85) connects to the positive side of the battery (12V) while 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 oil pump connects to the dose-end of 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 battery. If the vehicle has 24V battery, then 24V relay is needed.
To monitor analog signals, the purple line (ADC) of extended port
To check status of car door, orange line (IN 1) should be connected to where between the door light and door switch (See the diagram).
To find car remotely, please connect the yellow line (OUT1) of extended port to external relay.

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 signal.

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 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 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 battery is OFF, battery can’t be charged. The device will be power off if no external power supply.

Main Functions

SOS
In emergent case, press SOS for 3 seconds to activate SOS alarm. Then the device will send SOSSMS to preset SOS numbers and then dial the numbers in a loop for 3 times until the call is picked up. Alarm message will also send to platform. (See command list 7-9)
Power cut-off Alarm
When the electricity supply of device is cut off, it will activate cut-off alarm.
Low Battery Alarm
When battery is low, the device will activate low battery alarm. Device will send alert through SMS and to the platform.
Vibration Alarm (Default OFF)
When vehicle vibrates for 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 7-‘3)
Voice Monitoring
When MIC is connected while speaker is not, use pre-set SOS number to dial the device, after 10 seconds, device enters into monitoring mode automatically. The caller can hear the voice inside the vehicle.
Notice:
Pre-set SOS number is necessary. Non-SOS number cannot activate this function.
SIM card of device must have caller ID service.
Two-way Communications
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, device enters into two-way talk mode.
Displacement Alarm(default OFF)
Device will send movement alarm when vehicle moves out the preset distance (when ACC is off and GPS is fixed}.
Oil / Electricity cut-off
When vehicle is stolen, oil/electricity cut-off command can be sent by platform, APP or SMS.
Notice:
Make sure ACC is correctly connected.
When ACC is OFF, command will be executed immediately.
When ACC is ON, but GPS is not fixed, command will be postponed.
When ACC is ON, GPS is fixed, command will be executed when vehicle speed is less than 20km/h.
Restore Oil / Electricity
When alarm Is all-clear, you can send restore oil/electricity command by platform, APP or SMS and restore vehicle power. (See command list 7-16)
Restart Device
If GPRS is abnormal (device is offline), user can send SMS command RESET# to restart the device. Device will reboot after 20 seconds after receiving the command.(See command list 7-17)
Door Detection
The device is able to detect door status. It uploads car status to platform and APP timely. Negative triggering is default. When 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 door Is open, signal level of door is OV; when door is closed, signal level of door is power voltage. Positive triggering: when door is open, signal level of door is power voltage; when door is closed, signal level of door is OV.
Analog Signal
The device can measure car battery’s voltage and upload It to platform/APP in fixed time based on your needs. Purple line (ADC) of device extended port can receive analog signal, like voltage of external device, analog temperature sensor and fuel sensor. Voltage range of analog input is 0-30Vdc. See 3.2 diagram for wiring way. (See command 11st 7-19)
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 46″C or above -18°, battery charging will be restored.
Controllable Output
The device supports high/low level output, which could be configured by commands based on needs.
