1 One-wire connection
Installation team must follow the below Accessory connection for efficient working. If installation has to be done with different patterns then please contact your immediate tech support for the possibilities. You can configure these accessories settings in our amber connect fleet management platform. Fleet Portal > Settings > Vehicle > Safety > Device Input Configuration [This setting available Only to specific device models that supports the accessories] Warning: These settings should exactly match with the actual accessories connected to the device ports during the installation. If you make any changes on this will result in data reception from accessories to the device. So Kindly make sure you are changing this with proper understanding of which accessory connected to which wire during the installation.

4. Mounting Recommendations
1) Connecting wires
a) Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged in. b) Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other non-moving parts. Any heat
emitting and/or moving objects should be kept away from the wires. c) There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was removed while
connecting the wires, the isolation material should be applied. d) If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or
exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be applied and the wires should not be loose. e) Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.
2) Connecting power source
a) Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode, power might be still available on the power wires. Depending on the car model, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
b) When the module is connected, measure the voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.
c) It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box. d) 3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.
3) Connecting ignition wire
a) Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does not disappear after starting the engine.
b) Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).
c) Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices. d) Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay,
which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.
4) Connecting ground wire
a) Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
b) If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire. c) For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.

The device is designed to be mounted in a zone of limited access, which is inaccessible to the operator. All related devices must meet the requirements of EN 62368-1 standard. The device is not designed as a navigational device for boats.

Do not disassemble the device. If the device is damaged, the power supply cables are not isolated or the isolation is damaged, DO NOT touch the device before unplugging the power supply.
All wireless data transferring devices produce interference that may affect other devices which are placed nearby.
The device must be connected only by qualified personnel.

The device must be firmly fastened in a predefined location.

The programming must be performed using a PC with autonomic power supply.

Installation and/or handling during a lightning storm is prohibited.
The device is susceptible to water and humidity.
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions. Battery should not be disposed of with general household waste. Bring damaged or wornout batteries to your local recycling center or dispose them to battery recycle bin found in stores.

7. Certification and Approvals
