These installation instructions are for the installation of a BulldogOne (BD1) tracker and Immobiliser Kit
(IK1). The installation shown in Fig. 1 provides the facility to remotely cut othe engine (via the
smartphone app) and immobilise the key switch of the vehicle and cut othe engine (using an
automatic feature of the BD1 when in armed mode) - see section 11 to 14 for more details
IMPORTANT: The Orange wire MUST connect to the ignition ACC output. The wire from the ignition ON
output needs to be cut where shown and wired from the ignition block into port 30 on the harness and
the other end of the cut cable into port 87A.
Once wiring is complete, mount the BulldogOne with the BulldogOne label facing towards the sky and
securely attach the BulldogOne IK1 wiring harness to avoid them becoming dislodged.
Do not mount in the engine bay or other area where it can get wet; next to radio equipment; between
metal cavities in the vehicle or other parts of the vehicle where interference may be caused such as
radio speakers.
Read the BD1 User Guide and test all functionality, in a safe environment to ensure the immobiliser

Please familiarise yourself with the dierence between the two methods, how to control them and what
triggers each.
The engine immobilisation and cut ofacility can be used in one of two ways:
1. By “Arming” the tracker via the smartphone app, when the BulldogOne detects that the key switch
ignition has been turned on, the engine cut oprocess will begin. See Section 12.
2. By “Cut-O” of the engine, via the smartphone app, when the BulldogOne receives the command the
engine cut oprocess will begin. See Section 13.
The Engine Cut OProcess
When the BulldogOne starts the engine cut oprocess it can take up to 45 seconds to initiate fully as the
tracker needs to undertake a critical safety check. For the safety of vehicle users, this process uses GPS
technology to check the speed of the vehicle. If the vehicle is travelling less than 6mph the engine
electrical circuit will be cut and the engine will immediately stop. If the vehicle is travelling over 6mph, it will
wait until the vehicle reduces speed to 6mph or less and then cut the engine.
Once the engine cut oactivates and conrms speed is below 6mph, all electrical systems attached to the
ignition will be cut o.
