1.3 System requirements for installation
The on-board voltage is permitted for 9 … 36V.
You can choose one of three different ways to
connect the EasyTrack to your vehicles power
cables:
1) If you connect the power pins and "Dig. Input 1"
to constant power, the EasyTrack will send
always SMS using the predefined interval
setting.
2) If you connect the power pins and "Dig. Input1"
to Ignition, the EasyTrack will send interval
SMS only if Ignition is ON. With every power
ON you will have no GPS data in the SMS until
GPS position is fixed.
3) If you connect the power pins to constant
power and "Dig. Input 1" to Ignition, the
EasyTrack will send interval SMS only while
Ignition is ON.
The GPS module is powered continuously, thus
a GPS position can be sent with every SMS
(depends on GPS availability) Note: The
EasyTrack will always draw about 100mA from
your vehicles battery!
The GPS antenna must be installed in such a way that its
free line to the sky is ensured.
The GSM antenna must be installed in such a way that a
free connection to the GSM net can be established and
its shielding by metal parts is excluded.

Installation
Before you start the installation of the device make sure to
follow the best sequence for you to work on.
For a normal setup we recommend this sequence:
1) Operate the EasyTrack first close to your PC using the
optional power supply for EasyTrack.
2) Configure the EasyTrack with your specific data
(EasyTrack-ID, PIN, vehicle sensor information,
interval time,…). See chapter 4.7.3
3) Install the EasyTrack inside the vehicle and test it. See
chapter 2.5
If you own a laptop which is capable of running the
EasyTrack-Manager, we recommend you to install the
EasyTrack inside the vehicle and make the configuration and
test on board.
