Installation

Process

12/24v Power/Positive Connection (Red Wire)

Securely attach the wiring harness to the Tracking unit 

Disconnect the negative terminal from the motorcycle battery to prevent a possible transient voltage surge 

that will damage your traking unit. Please note warranty does not cover damage from transient voltage surge.

Switched Ignition 12/24v Connection 

(Yellow Wire )

The Yellow must be connected to a switched 12/24v source from the motorcycle.

Locate the Yellow wire found on the wire harness supplied with your Tracking unit.   

Optional Connection

How to Find (+) 12/24v Ignition with a Multi Meter

1. Set your meter to DCV or DC voltage 

2. Attach the (-) negative probe of the meter to the chassis ground

Your meter should read (+) 0v

4. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. If your meter reads (+)12/24VDC go to the next step, if not probe another wire.

5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady (+) 12/24v, not dropping by more than a few 

tenths of a volt. If it drops close to or all the way to (0) zero, go back to step 3, If it stays steady at (+) 12/24v you have the ignition wire.

Ground Connection (Black Wire)

Re-connect the negative terminal to the vehicle battery and proceed to the next step

Solder and insulate all connections (Crimping should be avoided wherever possible) 

WARNING

7

12-24V DC Power Connection (Red Wire)

Locate the Red wire found on the wiring harness. The red wire must be connected to a constant 

12 volt source from the motorcycle to power the tracker unit.  

It’s important that the12 volt power source maintains 12 volts at all times. 

Locate the Black wire found on the wiring harness 

The black wire must be connected to the negative terminal of the motor cycle battery.
