7Using iButton
For details about how to use iButton, see the following sections.
7.1 Obtaining iButton ID
Each iButton key has an ID number, which is in hexadecimal format.
For example, the last six digits among the hexadecimal digits are "1BF32F". Their decimal digits are "1831727", so the iButton
ID number is 1831727.
7.2 iButton Control Output (Starting the Engine)
Before starting the engine, ensure that:
1. Input 3 of the tracker is connected to the engine detection cable.
2. An iButton key has been authorized.
3. Output 1 of the tracker is connected to the engine control cable through a relay, as shown in the following figure.

7.3 How iButton Works
After the authorized iButton key touches the iButton reader, the driver must start the engine within one minute. Otherwise,
output 1 of the tracker will be triggered (engine cut-off), and thus the driver cannot start the vehicle. At the moment, if you
want to start the engine, you must swipe the iButton key again.
