Wiring scheme

Set up your device

How to insert Micro-SIM card and connect the battery

1. Unscrew 4 screws counter clockwise that are located on the bottom of the device.
2. Remove the cover.
3. Insert SIM card as shown with PIN request disabled or read Security info how to enter it later in Amber Configurator. Make sure that SIM card cut-off corner is pointing forward to slot. SIM slot 1 is closer to PCB, SIM slot 2 is the upper one.
4. Connect battery as shown to device.
5. After configuration, see “PC Connection (Windows)”, attach device cover back
6. Screw in all screws. Device is ready to be mounted.

Mounting recommendations

Connecting wires

1. Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged in.
2. Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving parts. Try to avoid heat emitting and moving objects near the wires.
3. The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires, it should be applied again.
4. If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be applied.
5. Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.

Connecting power source

1. Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on chosen wire. Depending on car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
2. When the module is connected, measure the voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.
3. It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
4. 3 A, 125 V external fuse

Connecting ignition wire

1. Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire power does not disappear while starting the engine.
2. Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most electronics of the vehicle are available).
3. Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.
4. Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay, which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.

• Connecting ground wire

1. Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
2. If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.
3. For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.

PAY ATTENTION! Connecting the power supply must be carried out in a very low impedance point of on-board vehicle network. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary point to the mass of the car is unacceptable, as static and dynamic potentials on the line GND will be unpredictable, which can lead to unstable AGT400-LA operation and even its failure.
