MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
10.1
Connecting Wires
•
Wires should be connected while module is not plugged in.
•
Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving parts. Try to avoid heat emitting
and moving objects near the wires.
•
The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory isolation was removed while
connecting wires, it should be applied again.
•
If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to
heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be applied.
•
Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.
10.2
Connecting Power Source
•
Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on chosen wire.
Depending on a car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
•
When module is connected, be sure to measure voltage again if it did not decrease.
•
It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
10.3
Connecting Ignition Wire
•
Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire
–
power does not disappear while starting the
engine.
•
Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most electronics of the
vehicle are available).
•
Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.
•
Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay, which has
power output, when ignition is on, may be chosen.
10.4
Connecting Ground Wire
•
Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
•
If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.
•
For better contact scrub paint from the place where loop is connected.
10.5
Connecting Antennas
•
When placing antennas avoid easily reached places.
•
Avoid GPS antenna placement under metal surfaces.
•
Avoid placing FM3200 device near car radio, speakers or alarm systems (at least 30-40 cm).
•
Avoid placing GSM antenna near car radio, speakers or alarm systems (at least 30-40 cm).
•
Avoid placing external GSM antenna near FM3200 device itself (at least 30-40 cm).
•
GPS antenna must be placed so its state is as horizontal as possible (if antenna is leant more
than 30 degrees, it is considered incorrect mounting).
•
GPS antenna cable cannot be bent more than 80 degrees.
•
GPS antenna must be placed sticker facing down
