1.5 Safety Information
The following information is provided to ensure safe operation of the device. Please read it carefully
before you start using the device!
All the associated (additional) equipment such as computers, batteries, sensors, etc.
shall meet the requirements of standard EN60950-1.
Do not disassemble the device. If the enclosure of the device is damaged, or the
insulation of the wires is damaged, disconnect the power supply cables from the power
supply source first.
All wireless data transferring equipment produces interference that may affect other
devices placed nearby.
The device can be installed or dismounted only by qualified personnel!
The device must be firmly fastened in a predefined location. The predefined location is
described in the installation instructions.
The configuration must be performed using a 2nd safety class computer (with an
autonomic power supply).
Make sure that the device is installed in a location where it will not be subjected to harsh
environmental conditions for extended time periods.
Any installation and/or handling during a lightning storm is prohibited.
Caution! If an incorrect type of battery is used for replacement, there is a high explosion
risk. Dispose of used batteries according to the environmental requirements.
For configuration use cables that were purchased from Ruptela. Ruptela is not
responsible for any harm or damage caused while using the wrong cables.
Attention! Do not connect the wires marked red (power supply) and black (chassis) to
the wrong battery poles. The device has reverse polarity protection, however, if
connected incorrectly, the device will not work.
Disconnect the device from the power supply before dismounting it.
To disconnect the device from the power supply, you need to disconnect the 12 Pin
connector from the device or disconnect the wires from the vehicle’s power supply.
Ensure that the cross-sectional area of the wires is at least 0.75 mm2.
Install the device in a restricted access location, not accessible or visible to the driver.
This crossed-out wheelie bin symbol means that waste equipment should not be
disposed of with your other household waste. The product must be taken to separate
collection points at the product’s end-of-life.

4Device Preparation
For the device to work, you first need to insert a SIM card. To do so, open the device housing and
perform the actions described below.
4.1 Opening the Device
Use a “+” type screwdriver to open the plastic housing. Unscrew the 2 screws at the bottom of the
device as shown in the image below. Once unscrewed, the top of the housing should come off easily.
Make sure that the device is powered off before opening it!
The use of inappropriate tools or excessive force may cause permanent damage to the
device.
Avoid opening the device more times than required, as it may wear out the screws.
