NOTES:
1.
Connection to 12VDC must be fused using supplied 1 amp automotive fuse and fuse
holder.
2.
Switched Accessory Power must be connected to input #1 if the smart power- save
feature is enabled. Please consult your software manual for enabling this feature.
3.
The use of these inputs is user selectable. They are general purpose inputs that
must be pulled to 12VDC to change their state otherwise they are read as off.
4.
The inputs are sampled over a 1 second period, so for a state change to be
recorded the event change must be present for at least 1 second.
5.
The unit is suitable for connection to either a 12VDC or 24VDC system.
CONNECTING THE ANTENNAS
The supplied GPS antenna must be connected to the FD420-GSM correctly in order to obtain a
valid satellite fix. The following must be considered when connecting the antenna.
1.
Connect the GPS antenna to the gold FD420-GSM labelled GPS.
2.
Connect an appropriate GSM antenna to the gold FD420-GSM labelled MDM.
3.
Finger tighten the screw connectors to a positive stop.
Do not over tighten
GPS ANTENNA PLACEMENT
The position of the antenna mounting is crucial to the optimal performance of the GPS receiver.
The GPS antenna must be mounted in such a way as to ensure it has as much an uninterrupted
view of the sky as possible. The rear parcel shelf or front dash board of a sedan may be suitable.
The base of the antenna is magnetic thus it can be mounted external to the vehicle. Be careful
while laying the cable not to crease, cut, twist or kink the cable as this may break the internal
conductors or significantly affect its operation.
