POWER ADAPTOR WIRING
NOTE: The power connections are only needed for the EVO-ALL and ADS-ALCA integration modules. The
EVO-ONE will not require these connections. If you are using a T-Harness with the EVO-ONE or ADS modules
then you will NOT need to connect the power and ground connections. If you are NOT using a T-Harness, then you
WILL need to connect the power and ground wires. These wires will supply the power to the module as well as the
REVO antenna.
Connect the Red wire from the 2-pin power adaptor to a 12V constant source.
Connect the Black wire from the 2-pin power adaptor to a paint free, solid metal surface using a crimped on ring
terminal and self-tapping screw. For best results, use a nutsert and bolt.

11
POWER ADAPTOR WIRING
A T-Harness will usually supply power from the vehicle to the REVO antenna and the EVO-ALL data module. The power and ground wiring
is only used with the REVO series when you ARE NOT using a T-Harness to connect to the EVO-ALL data module to the vehicle.
