2.1 Vehicle Unit
Vehicle Unit (VU) or dashboard equipment has the standard dimensions as an automotive CD
player, which makes it easy to fit in most vehicles that have dedicated space for a CD player.
Vehicle unit requires constant battery voltage, even when the ignition switch is off. Ignition signal
wire is connected to VU, which is used to sense when vehicle is switching on. Additionally, an
illumination/backlight signal is provided to VU, which controls the LCD backlight of VU.
Provided GPS antenna and the GSM/GPRS modem antenna connects to the back of the VU. The
vehicle tracking feature of AutoMonitor requires an Internet enabled SIM card in order for it to be
able to send vehicle position and other parameters to the control centre (control server). The SIM
card should be inserted at the back of vehicle unit (VU).
