Where in a truck is the best place to
install MGS150?
The best places to hardwire an
MGS150 in a vehicle are under the
center console, inside the dashboard
or under the glove compartment. Be
sure the device is not obstructed by
metal to avoid signal interference.
Can I install the modem outside
of the vehicle?
No. MGS150 is not weatherproof
and must be installed in a dry lo-
cation.
Can I wire the modem to the back
of the car radio or with other ac-
cessories?
No, you will not get proper idle
reports because the modem will
not be able to monitor the igni-
tion status properly. Ignition wire
must always be connected to the
vehicle’s ignition.
Where is the best place to get a
proper power and ignition?
Use the proper power or ignition
wire directly from the ignition
switch or behind the fuse box.
Do not use the intermittent pow-
er sources such as brakes power
wires, lights, radio or other acces-
sories. The modem will not receive
correct reading of the ignition
status and will cause “Movement
without ignition errors” and im-
proper idling report.
What is the best way to connect
the wires?
There are two acceptable methods
of making a wire connection:
soldering the wires with the
soldering iron or weave and crimp
the connectors with the use of the
proper crimping tool. DO NOT use
t-tap connectors. Always tape the
connections after soldering.
Can additional sensors, such as
door or temperature sensor, be
installed with the MGS150?
Yes, the power harness provided
with the kit allows up to 4 sensor
inputs, such as temperature, door,
PTO and other sensors.
What is the Default Data Settings
(DDS) for MGS150?
The DDS for MGS150 is to record 1
position every 2 min and transmit
location data to the server every 6
min. DDS Settings can be adjusted
