Auxiliary Input
•
The auxiliary inputs can be used to detect and report the opening and/or closing of a circuit. There are
four auxiliary inputs available on the 6600H/6601H beacon models, as indicated in the wiring diagram on
the previous page. Note that a minimum voltage of 8V is required to trigger any input.
•
Auxiliary inputs 1 and 2 are considered to be closed when connected to a vehicle power source and are
considered to be open when connected to ground or an open circuit. Auxiliary inputs 3 and 4 are
considered to be closed when connected to ground and are considered to be open when connected
to a vehicle power source or an open circuit.
•
When using auxiliary inputs to measure the state of vehicle circuits, it is recommended that you use a relay
to control the input signal to the device.
Output
•
Outputs can be used to remotely control vehicle functions such as door lock/unlock and starter
disable/enable. There are two outputs available on the Contigo 6600H/6601H beacon models, as
indicated in the wiring diagram on the previous page. Output 2 is reserved for the Buzzer output, while
Output 1 is configurable for general use.
•
Output 1 can be configured via the web portal to interactively toggle an external circuit between open
and closed states, or to pulse the circuit to the closed state for either 1 or 3.2 seconds, then automatically
open the circuit.
•
To close an external circuit, the 6600H/6601H output acts as a ground source (or what is referred to as a
current sink) to the external circuit. To open an external circuit, the output will be open. Since the output
can draw a maximum current of 150mA, it is recommended that you use the output to control a relay
and use the relay to manage the external circuit.
Connect and Mount Beacon
•
For the 6600H beacon, connect the two antenna cables to the beacon using the corresponding FAKRA
connectors, ensuring a firm, positive connection is made.
•
Attach the wiring harness to the beacon and ensure that the retaining clip snaps in place.
•
Affix the beacon securely to the vehicle using the mounting slots found on either side of the case. If the
beacon is not securely mounted, it may report a false AWP, Start and Stop.
•
If a suitable panel for affixing the beacon is not available, fastening the beacon to a bracket or wire
bundle with plastic cable ties is also adequate. Be sure to secure any loose or extra lengths of wire.
LED Indicators
The Contigo 6600H/6601H has two LEDs on the front of the device which indicate 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.
