**Buzzer Install** *(optional) Please ensure buzzer is set up in the PosiTrace Platform before installing*Buzzer is compatible up to 24V of power. Connecting to Pin 10 Blue will provide low voltage / lower volume. Connecting to Pin 1 Red provides 12V or 24V depending on vehicle and produces louder volume.

#### **Tap behavior:**

When tapping your key, please remember it is a tap and not a swipe. Firmly attach the Driver ID fob to the reader in full and leave for 2 to 3 seconds to ensure reading is completed. 

If you have installed the **buzzer**, a short beep will occur when there has been a successful read of the Driver Key, after which it is safe to remove the key. 

If your buzzer makes a long beep (5 seconds) – your wiring is correct (physical install is now finished), but you must complete the buzzer setup below on the PosiTrace Platform.

#### **Buzzer Setup:**

The Buzzer should be assigned to **output 2** in the [**PosiTrace Locate**](https://locate.positrace.com/) platform which will reduce the sound from 5 seconds (long beep) to 200 milliseconds (short beep). Please make sure each of your devices has an Equipment Name before proceeding.

- **Account** \> **Equipment List**
- Use the magnifying glass (View Details) icon, or click on the Equipment name.
- Select the **Inputs / Outputs** tab, and add your Buzzer into **Output 2**

### **Immobilizer Wiring**

| ![](https://kb.positrace.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Sep-22-2025-04-51-59-9666-PM.png?width=1200&height=1200&name=undefined-Sep-22-2025-04-51-59-9666-PM.png) | **Relay Type 1** | **Relay Type 2** | **Function** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Pin 85 | Pin 85 | PosiTracker Device (Pin 8 - Orange/White) |  |
| Pin 86 | Pin 86 | Triggered positive voltage (+12V) |  |
| Pin 30 | Pin 30 | Starter wire; engine |  |
| Pin 87a | Pin 87a | Starter wire; ignition (switch) |  |
| Pin 87 | Pin 87 | *not in use - opposite from 87a* |  |

#### **DriverID Controlled Immobilizer:**

It is possible to control a vehicle’s ability to start via Driver ID. For this option, you must have a Driver ID system installed, an immobilizer relay installed, and the **correct service plan features** on your subscription. 

*Please note you will no longer have manual control over an immobilizer relay through the PosiTrace platform with this option.* 

*Vehicles must be turn-key ignition, combustion-engine cars and trucks*

Operation is as follows:![](https://kb.positrace.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Sep-22-2025-04-51-59-5060-PM.png?width=186&height=177&name=undefined-Sep-22-2025-04-51-59-5060-PM.png)

- **Ignition state:** Turn your key to the **ON position** where all your dashboard lights are lit up.
- **Tap key**: firmly tap your Driver ID fob key to the Driver ID reader for at least **3 seconds**. A signal is sent to disable your immobilizer relay on DOUT (Pin 8, Orange/White wire).
- **Turn key to Start position** to start your vehicle.

If your vehicle does not start, please try tapping the key again; In rare occasions, it may not communicate the status to the reader and a second attempt can be made.

Remember to firmly attach the key in such a way that the flat surface of the fob makes complete contact with your reader, and that the tap is not less than 3 seconds in length to ensure a reading.
