Chapter 3 Device Wiring
3.1 Power Cord Wiring
In order to ensure the safety of your automobile and device, a fuse is required for wiring of
automobile power and device power.
Do not connect the power cord to the device before all the cables are connected.
Purpose
The device starts up when your automobile ignites and shuts down after automobile is off.
Automobile ignition startup and shutdown are realized by automobile positive pole ignition switch
(providing high level signal when the switch closes). The wire connection of the device varies with
the automobile ignition models.
Ignition switch is connected to the positive pole of automobile batteries. Make sure that the
connection is correct, and then perform the following steps:
Step 1 Connect the "DC IN +" of the device to the positive pole of automobile batteries, jumping
over the switch of normal automobile power.
Step 2 Connect the "DC IN -" of the device to the negative pole of automobile batteries.
Step 3 Place the fuse into the fuse holder.
What to do next: For detailed time settings of time-delay shutdown, see Chapter Configure
Delayed Shutdown in user manual.

Figure 3-2 Wiring
Please contact the automobile manufacturer for the connection information of starting
switch.
The automobile ignition switch, also called car key, controls the startup and shutdown of
your automobile. Most of automobiles adopt positive pole ignition switch currently.
The normal automobile power refers to the main power of the automobile power supply
system. After the automobile is off, the normal automobile power still provides
direct-current source for the other devices inside and generally a main switch is used to
turn on/off it.
3.2 Alarm Input Connection
The device adopts the high/low-level electrical signals triggering (high level: 6 to 36 VDC; low level:
0 to 5 VDC) to realize alarm input. And in order to avoid error report caused by voltage fluctuation,
no alarm will be triggered by voltage ranging of 5 to 6 VDC.
