Vecima 66xxH Beacon Family

Warning and Known Issues

• 

It is important that the Molex connector is installed fully onto the diagnostics port, and that the device is firmly attached to 

the vehicle. Excessive vibrations from a loose installation can cause incorrect results.

• 

The 66xxH beacons are not waterproof or sealed devices. Care must be taken to ensure the device is kept away from water 

or any other liquids, as well as excessive dust.

• 

The 66xxH beacons may be incompatible with certain models of vehicles. For more information please contact Nero Global 

Tracking.

• 

The older external antennas that were previously shipped with the 3G beacons are not compatible with the newer 4G 

devices. If you are upgrading a 3G beacon to a 6650H (4G) model, then the external antenna must also be upgraded to one 

of the models described in this document.

LED Indicators

The 66xxH has two LEDs on the top of the device which provide feedback about the current state.

• 

When the ignition is first turned on the Green indicator will show solid for about 30 seconds. After this initial setup period, 

the 

Green

 LED will blink slowly (8 times in 10 seconds) when the Ignition is turned off, and rapidly (25 times in 10 seconds) 

when the Ignition is turned ON.

• 

The 

Red

 LED is used to indicate error conditions by flashing a 2-digit code. The first digit indicates the general error type 

(1=hardware, 2=modem, 3=GPS, 4=end-to-end service) and the second digit indicates a more specific error described in the 

table below. Note that if multiple error conditions exist, the 

Red

 

LED will cycle through all current error conditions.
