9 MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
9.1 Connecting Wires

Wires should be connected while module is not plugged in.

Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving parts. Try to avoid heat emitting
and moving objects near the wires.

The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory isolation was removed while
connecting wires, it should be applied again.

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.

Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.
9.2 Connecting Power Source

Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on chosen wire.
Depending on a car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.

When module is connected, be sure to measure voltage again if it did not decrease.

It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
9.3 Connecting Ignition Wire

Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire – power does not disappear while starting the
engine.

Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most electronics of the
vehicle are available).

Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.

Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay, which has
power output, when ignition is on, may be chosen.
9.4 Connecting Ground Wire

Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.

If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.

For better contact scrub paint from the place where loop is connected.
9.5 Connecting Antennas

When placing antennas avoid easily reached places.

Avoid GPS antenna placement under metal surfaces.

Avoid placing FM2200 device near car radio, speakers or alarm systems.

GPS antenna must be placed so its state is as horizontal as possible (if antenna is leant more
than 30 degrees, it is considered incorrect mounting).

GPS antenna cable cannot be bent more than 80 degrees.

GPS antenna must be placed sticker facing down
