Installing your VP500 Tracking Unit
Asset tracking unit with external GPS/cellular antenna and wiring harness. Also includes; Zip ties, and Connectors.
If you prefer to have the GPS tracker installed professionally, contact your local mobile electronics dealer or your reseller
for details.
Tools required to perform the installation:
♦Screwdrivers
♦Wire strippers and cutters
♦Crimping tool
♦Voltmeter
The tracker requires a constant +12 VDC power source to operate. The device will operate with only the power and
ground connected, but the ignition sense wire and the optional starter disable relay can also be connected. If the ignition
sense wire is connected with a 12 VDC system, you will be able to get tracking information for ignition ON and OFF
events.
Connect the RED and BLACK wires on the attached wiring harness to continuous power and ground on the vehicle.
♦The RED wire on the tracker wiring harness is connected to a continuous +12 VDC source
♦The BLACK wire on the tracker wiring harness is connected to vehicle chassis GROUND
Locate the vehicle’s ignition wire by consulting the appropriate wiring diagrams and connect the ignition sense wire
(WHITE) to the vehicle’s ignition line using the provided connectors.
The vehicle ignition wire can be verified by measuring for the vehicle’s operating voltage while the key is turned to an ‘ON’
or ‘START’ position. The vehicle’s ignition wire should read 0 VDC when the key is left in the ‘OFF’ position, and typically
between 11V and 14V when in the “ON” position.

Attach the GPS/cellular antenna to the device. Finger tighten the connectors only; do not over tighten the connector, as
damage to the tracker can occur. Two of the most common mistakes made during installation are connecting the antenna
to the wrong connectors and over tightening the connectors, which causes them to break internally.
Find a discreet location for the placement of the tracker.
Allow 5-10 minutes for the tracker to power up and obtain its first GPS fix. There are 2 LEDs on the back of the unit, solid
yellow and solid amber indicate a good GPS fix.
