Terminal Connection
Connection method:
①Connecting the lock motor
②Connecting the relay
- The red positive pole is connected to the battery positive pole (+), and the black negative pole is connected to the battery negative pole (-).
- The power input line interface is connected to the positive and negative pole interface of the power supply (the positive and negative poles cannot be reversed)
- ACC line connected to ACC line on vehicle
- Yellow wire connected relay cuts off oil power or locks motor
Oil and electricity disconnection wiring method 1:
- Find out the “speed control handle control line”. The method: “speed control handle control line” is generally green or white, on the 4Pin connector of the controller.
- Measure the voltage of the speed control handle line with a multimeter. The voltage of the control line of the speed control handle is 0.8V by default (in the static positive state when ACC is on). When the speed control handle is adjusted to the highest speed,it is about 4.3v-5v.
- Change the speed control line into 2 lines.
- Connect the two lines of the cut speed control line to the two lines of the normally closed end of the relay.
Remarks: the oil and electricity cut-off function must be equipped with a relay specified by the manufacturer (it is recommended that electric vehicles use a 5V relay specified by the manufacturer, and automobiles use a 12V relay specified by the manufacturer)
Lock motor wiring method 2:
Adjust the multimeter to the DC voltage of 200V, connect the black pen to the negative pole of the battery, and the red pen to the controller line one by one. If the voltage is displayed as a line of 3~5v, it is judged to be a locked motor line, which can be connected with the yellow line.

Working Description
- the external power equipment starts automatically, and the power indicator (red) is always on
- use the backup battery independently without external power, and the power indicator (red) flashes slowly
- search network signal (yellow indicator) and GPS signal (blue indicator )flash quickly
- after normal operation, the network signal (yellow indicator) and GPS signal (blue indicator) flash slowly
- SOS alarm:long press sos for 3 seconds, the device dials the SOS number, and the other party can realize the listening function after answering.
Battery use safety
If the terminal is damaged due to the use of non original accessories, the manufacturer will not bear any warranty liability.
- Do not let metal objects cause short circuit of battery contactor
- Do not bend or forcibly open the battery
- Do not immerse the battery in water or put it on fire
- The battery must be charged near room temperature, if the temperature is low 0℃ or above 45℃, the battery may not work
- It is forbidden to use batteries with deformed appearance, discoloration, liquid leakage or damaged outer packaging
- It is forbidden to disassemble and transform the battery
Troubleshooting
Common problem | Problems arose | Terms of settlement |
Poor signal reception | When terminals are used in areas with pour reception„such as near hirrise buildings or basements, radio waves cannot be effectively transmitted | Use the terminal at a good signal position |
Unable to connect to the network | SIM card not installed properly | Check SIM card |
Dirt on metal surface of SIM card | Wipe with a clean cloth | |
Out of GSM service area | Please move to the network service provider service area | |
Weak signal | Please Dove to a place with strong signal and try again |
|
Location infonll ation not found | SIM card is not enabled with GPRS | Please contact the network service provider to activate GPR$ function. |
Always reply “failed to get location” | Please contact your dealer |
