Installation team must follow the below Accessory connection for efficient working. If
installation has to be done with different patterns then please contact your immediate tech
support for the possibilities. You can configure these accessories settings in our amber
connect fleet management platform.
Fleet Portal > Settings > Vehicle > Safety > Device Input Configuration
[This setting available Only to specific device models that supports the accessories]
Warning: These settings should exactly match with the actual accessories connected to
the device ports during the installation. If you make any changes on this will result in data
reception from accessories to the device. So Kindly make sure you are changing this with
proper understanding of which accessory connected to which wire during the installation.
Wiring Scheme

4. Mounting Recommendations
1) Connecting wires
a) Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged in.
b) Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other non-moving parts. Any heat
emitting and/or moving objects should be kept away from the wires.
c) There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was removed while
connecting the wires, the isolation material should be applied.
d) 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 and the
wires should not be loose.
e) Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.
2) Connecting power source
a) Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode, power might be still
available on the power wires. Depending on the car model, this may happen in 5
to 30 minutes period.
b) When the module is connected, measure the voltage again to make sure it did not
decrease.
c) It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
d) 3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.
3) Connecting ignition wire
a) Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does not disappear after
starting the engine.
b) Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most of the
vehicle electronics are available).
c) Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.
d) Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay,
which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.
4) Connecting ground wire
a) Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the
frame.
b) If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the
wire.
c) For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.

6. Safety information
This message contains information on how to operate safely. By following these
requirements and recommendations, you will avoid dangerous situations. You must read
these instructions carefully and follow them strictly before operating the device!
The device uses SELV limited power source. The nominal voltage is+12 V DC. The
allowed voltage range is +10…+30 V DC.
To avoid mechanical damage, it is advised to transport the device in an impact-proof
package. Before usage, the device should be placed so that its LED indicators are
visible. They show the status of device operation.
When connecting the 2x6 connector wires to the vehicle, the appropriate jumpers of the
vehicle power supply should be disconnected.

Before unmounting the device from the vehicle, the 2x6 connector must be
disconnected. The device is designed to be mounted in a zone of limited access, which
is inaccessible to the operator. All related devices must meet the requirements of EN
62368-1 standard. The device is not designed as a navigational device for boats.
Do not disassemble the device. If the device is damaged, the power supply cables are not
isolated or the isolation is damaged, DO NOT touch the device before unplugging the power
supply.
All wireless data transferring devices produce interference that may affect other devices
which are placed nearby.
The device must be connected only by qualified personnel.
The device must be firmly fastened in a predefined location.
The programming must be performed using a PC with autonomic power supply.
