Recommended Installation Location

Basic Overview of 3-wire Install

Basic Installation:

Ignition: Pin 3 (Yellow) - Positive voltage must be provided only when ignition is running, and zero volts when the ignition is off. Recommended connection: 3rd (run) position on ignition switch, or fuse panel ignition source.

Never connect ignition to Accessories, or a power source connected to an accessory, which may result in unstable ignition detection which will affect video recording.

Power: Pin 1 (Red) connects with constant, uninterrupted, +12/24 Volt power is required to operate the device.

Ground: Pin 2 (Black) connects with a designated ground point or wire.

Connecting the GND at an arbitrary point on the mass of the vehicle may result in unstable device operation or failure. 

Optional Features Wiring:

Optional features are sold through your Account Manager

1. Power Take Off (PTO): monitor external accessory and receive its on / off status (eg. salter, lift, axle, lights, seatbelt). Connect to Pin 4 (gray), positive trigger.
2. Immobilizer: Remotely prevent a vehicle from starting through the PosiTrace platform. Uses Pin 5 (white) on the wiring harness, ground trigger and requires an additional automotive relay.
