IMPORTANT NOTE
The product installation must be performed by a qualified technician who must follow the instructions
reported in the manual.
GPS tracker configuration
The Visirun GPS tracker is fully configured and ready to use.
It is identified by a SERIAL NUMBER reported on a label on the top side.
To start using the GPS tracker simply plug it to a power source and connect the GPS/GSM Antenna as
described in this manual.
GPS tracker positioning
Place the tracker anywhere INSIDE THE DRIVER'S CAB, hidden if you wish (e.g.: under the dashboard,
behind the radio, inside the fuse compartment). See the instructions on page 6 for GPS/GSM combined
Antenna connection and positioning.
Crash detection function
The crash detection function is not enabled by default, the customer must request to enable this
function during the installation.
This function can work properly only if the device is fastened to the cab structure.
The GPS tracker is NOT guaranteed to work properly if installed outside the driver’s cab, such as
in the engine compartment. It requires an operational temperature in the range -20°/+60° C.
B1N and B2 products are IP40 certified therefore they cannot be used outdoor and cannot be
exposed to outside elements.
An improper use can damage the GPS tracker or the vehicle.
For outdoor use, the IP67 Outdoor kit is available (see page 17).

GPStrackerinstallation
1. Plug the 16-pin MOLEX into the CN1 socket on the back of the GPS tracker (in B2 model CN1
socket is the farthest socket from the BLUE and PURPLE FAKRA sockets)
2. Connect the RED and BLACK wires to the vehicle's power supply of 12 or 24V DC. The GPS tracker
power cable already includes a FUSE.
NOTE
The GPS tracker must be permanently powered on.
The current consumption is very low and the device must remain powered on even if the vehicle's
engine is turned off.
The GPS tracker has an internal battery that would damage in a few months if not connected to a
permanent power source (e.g.: cigarette lighter).
NOTICE
In standard conditions, the GREEN wire is connected to the RED power wire into the
fuse holder. To increase tracking precision, it’s necessary connecting the GPS tracker to
the vehicle's ignition connection using the GREEN wire available in the 16-pin MOLEX
connector.
3. Cut the GREEN wire shortly before the fuse holder and connect it to a power source available
only when the ignition is on and absent when the ignition is off. Protect this connection with a 2A
fuse (not provided with the Visirun GPS tracker kit).
NOTE
This option requires a specific device configuration so, please contact the Technical Support requesting
the proper device configuration update (GPS tracker serial number is needed).

GPS/GSMcombinedAntennaconnectionandpositioning
The supplied GPS/GSM Antenna consists of:
•GPS / GSM signal reception rounded element
•3m dual wire connection cable
•2 FAKRA connectors:
oBLUE FAKRA for GPS signal
oPURPLE FAKRA for GSM signal
To connect the GPS/GSM Antenna to the Visirun tracker:
1. Plug the BLUE FAKRA (GPS) into the BLUE socket on the back of the tracker.
2. Plug the PURPLE FAKRA (GSM) into the PURPLE socket on the back of the tracker.
NOTE
For better signal reception, place the rounded element next to the windshield, for example onto the
vehicle's dashboard. You can hide the Antenna (e.g.: inside the dashboard) but be sure the rounded
element is not surrounded by metal surfaces or near other electronic devices (e.g.: Bluetooth devices
or GPS Navigator).
The adhesive label (GPS side) must be facing up or out with a clear view of the sky.
GPS tracker fastening
To increase tracking precision, fasten the GPS tracker to the cab structure.

IP67OutdoorkitforContainers
IP67 Outdoor kit for Containers is a special version of the IP67 Outdoor kit with additional features:
•Internal GPS/GSM Antenna
•Extended internal battery for tracking without external power
•Powerful internal magnets to temporarily install the tracker on metal (ferromagnetic) surface
IMPORTANT NOTE
IP67 Outdoor kit for Containers embeds powerful internal magnets: do not bring this tracker
closer to devices and systems that can be damaged by magnetic field, e.g.: credit cards and
ATM cards, pacemakers, defibrillators, electric and electronic systems, TVs, laptop
computers, mechanical clocks, loud speaker, etc..
If installed on metal surface with magnets only, there is a risk of tracker detachment during
vehicle's movement.
Detachment risk is related to improper mounting, e.g.:
•mounted on irregular or rough surface
•mounted on a dirty surface (encrusted, rusted or lubricated)
•mounted on a partial ferromagnetic surface, magnets couldn't work properly
•mounted over mobile parts (wires or pipes) that can cause tracker detachment during
movements
Permanent installation with screws is always recommended.

adapter.
How tousethe MobileDocument Scanner
•Turn on the scanner: press and hold the power button for 3 seconds
•When the blue LED next to the camera icon (scan mode) is powered on, the scanner is
ready for document acquisition. DO NOT CHANGE scan mode because the default one
guarantees the best scan quality.
•Insert a document face up in the paper feed slot, aligned to the left side of the scanner. The
scanner detects the page and starts to feed it through the scanner without any interaction.
NOTE: You do not need to press any button to scan.
•NEVER TURN THE SCANNER OFF MANUALLY, the scanner will be automatically turned off at the
end of the document acquisition process.
NOTE
Do not install the Mobile Document Scanner outside the driver's cab or expose to direct sunlight.
