      PosiTracker | QTT

      Version 1 and 2



      Installation Guide


      Installation Instruction:

      1. Before installing the device into a vehicle:
        1. Write down IMEI number of the device from barcode
        2. Write down vehicle license plate/VIN or identification number
        3. Take pictures of device installation for future references. 
      2. PosiTracker|QTT mounting location
        1. This device has a built-in antenna: Please make sure the installation location is not covered by any metal parts.
        2. Identify a solid mounting location away from extreme heat/vibration.
        3. The device can be installed vertically or horizontally. The label should either face away from the trailer (vertical) or UP toward the sky (horizontal).

      Warning: Water should not be permitted to trickle into or toward the connection socket, as this may lead to permanent water damage over time. 
      • For vertical installation, the cable must be located below the device.
      • For horizontal installation, the cable must be facing away from the direction of common travel to prevent driving water/wind exposure to the connector side.

      It is possible to install device underneath a trailer or rail, however this will negatively impact GPS reception. Make every effort to face label-side of device toward open air.
      • Your device is weather-resistant but should not be submerged or placed in standing / pooled water. 
      • Please do not paint or coat your device with any material. Doing so may compromise the weather-resistant features.

        3. Wiring:

      Basic 3-Wire Install
      any vehicle with a dedicated ignition source
      • Pin 1 (red) - constant power
        8 to 32V DC.
      • Pin 3 (black) - constant ground
      • Pin 5 (white) - ignition detection, switched power. 5-32V DC should be provided only when the ignition is running.

      2-Wire Install
      ignition source not available or difficult to locate


      Please contact Support to enable Virtual Ignition configuration
      • Pin 1 (red) - constant power
        8 to 32V DC.
      • Pin 3 (black) - ground.
      • Pin 5 (white) - disconnected. 

      Optional Secondary Power Wiring: Your device can connect to a second power source using Pin 2 (red/green - power) and Pin 4 (black - ground) wires.

        4. Optional:

        • Pin 11 (Blue), Pin 12 (Yellow), Pin 13 (Brown) and Pin 14 (Orange) are used for PTO equipment, panic button and immobilizer. Requires triggered ground source.
        • Enclosures are available for this device type to further protect it from the elements. Please contact your account manager to find out more. 

        Temperature Warnings: 

        Ideal operating temperatures for optimal performance are as follows:

        • Regular hardwired operating temperature: -30 to +80 C
        • Optimal Lithium battery charging temperatures: 10 to 45 C
        • Extended operation below 10 C may prevent the battery from charging. In the event the battery is discharged over long periods of time, it may be unable to fully recover.

        General Installation Diagram: 

        Installation on a trailer / flatbed:

        There are two pairs of power/ground cables that are included in the 18-pin wire harness. Choose the first pair (pins 1 and 3, red and black wires) and connect to power and ground pins on the trailer connector, usually mid and top pins.

        The second pair (pins 2 and 4, red/green and black wires) can be connected to ground and AUX/ABS pins of the trailer connector.
