Device Manual
!
Once switched ON, your device will try to obtain a GPS signal. The time taken to obtain a signal will
vary from few minutes when the device has never been used or not been used for a while to few
seconds when the device is regularly used.

Powering the Unit
!
The device is designed to attached to mains power for most of the time, via the cable. However, it
does have an internal rechargeable battery which is used should the unit lose power. Depending on
how you have the device configured (tracking frequency etc) the battery will last a variable amount of
time. Please check the tables in the appendix for this data.
!
To attach the unit to mains power, simply wire the positive and negative cores of the cable into your
power supply. The unit will run on any voltage between 9v and 32v. It will draw a maximum of about
700mA under normal operation.
!
If you intend to fuse the circuit we would suggest fitting a 2A fuse, which allows for extra power used
by the GSM module (if you have that option installed).
!
Depending on the model of device you have, you may have a 2-core, 4-core or 8-core cable. Wiring
should be carried out as per the following:
!
Standard 2-Wire
!
Red: Live (9-32v DC)
Black: Neutral (0v DC)
!
NMEA 4-Wire
!
Brown: Live (9-32v DC)
White: Neutral (0v DC)
Yellow: NMEA A
Green: NMEA B
Black: Screen/Ground
!
Special 8-Wire
!
Brown: Live (9-32v DC)
White: Neutral (0v DC)
Yellow: NMEA A
Green: NMEA B
Blue: Input A
Pink: Input B
Grey: Aux
Black: Screen/Ground
