Connect to the vehicle
This paragraph describes the procedure to install the device on board of your vehicle and check if the
installation has been performed properly.
Please take proper ESD protection measures (e.g. electrical connection of the
body to ground) to make sure you don’t destroy internal electronics! Repair of
ESD damages caused by users negligence will not be covered by Telic’s
warranty. Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric
current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials normally
caused by static electricity.
6.1
Placing the device into the vehicle
In order to protect your vehicle from theft and vandalism the device should be installed in a location
where it and its power supply are well-hidden. Using the cable-cases on box surfaces, please install the
device in a suitable, dry location, not in contact to radio and audio frequency interference or hot parts
of the vehicle like near the engine. When installing the device, please consider that antennas are
integrated, this means it must be installed in a place with a minimum distance of 7 cm to metallic
components of the vehicle in each direction. In order to optimize the quality of the signal received, the
surface of the internal GNSS antenna must be installed looking at the sky (see the label indication on
the device box, this side up).
6.2
Wiring connection
Please connect the Telic SBC AVL 4G with the vehicle according to the following instructions using the
connection cable. Please do not connect the connector to the Telic SBC AVL 4G before all wires you
intend to use are connected to the vehicle. The power supply has to be available while the ignition is
off.
The black wire (pin 6 on Molex connector) must be connected to the GROUND (pin 31 of the vehicle)
and the red wire (pin 1 on Molex connector) must be connected to VCC (pin 30 of the vehicle).
The yellow wire (pin 5 on Molex connector) must be connected to ignition (pin 15 of the vehicle).
All other wires have to be connected to the related interface, otherwise please ensure that they cannot
cause short circuits.
The advantage of constant power supply is that the device is able to connect faster to the Mobile
network and it can find faster a new GNSS position after ignition was switched from “OFF” to “ON”.
This means that for example working time calculations will be more precise. With ignition off, the
power consumption of the Telic SBC AVL 4G is low enough that it does not interfere with proper
functionality of the vehicle battery.
