Installation Overview
The following steps provide an overview of the installation process:
Installation Preparation
Device Mounting
Harness Installation
Ignition-Based Reporting (3 wire) – Default
Red wire = 12v-24v constant wire
Black wire – Chassis ground
White wire – Ignition Source
Motion-Based Reporting (2 wire)
Red wire = 12v-24v constant wire
Black wire – Chassis ground
White wire – Not used
Verification and Registration
Installation Steps
1. Installation Preparation.
Record the 9-digit serial number on your registration card.
Identify a mounting location, ideally level and on top of the asset.
Inspect underneath the potential mounting location to confirm that nothing will be damaged during mounting.
2. Device Mounting.
Place the device on the asset, mark mounting holes, drill using 1/4″ (7mm) bit, insert Well Nuts and screw the device to the asset.
If power cable needs to breach asset housing, utilize the provided grommet and butt connectors.
Note: A cable breach point should be located where it’s least susceptible to weather; the top of the asset is not recommended.
3. Harness Installation.
A. Conventional Hardwire
Locate a vehicle/asset wire that provides +12 VDC to +24 VDC only when the ignition is in the ON position and 0 VDC when the ignition is OFF or in ACCESSORY mode. Connect this to the device’s White switched power wire.
Cut the identified vehicle wire, strip ½ inch of insulation from both ends, and separate (fray) the wire strands on one end.
Strip ½ inch of insulation from the device’s White wire, fray the strands, and twist it together with the frayed end of the vehicle wire.
Insert the single vehicle wire into one side of the connector and the two twisted wires into the opposite side, then crimp both ends securely.
Apply heat to the connector until the adhesive seals the connection and creates a weatherproof bond. Finish by securing the wiring with a cable-tie stress loop.
B. Motion
Locate a vehicle/asset wire that continuously provides +12 VDC to +24 VDC, regardless of whether the vehicle is ON, OFF, or the keys are removed. Connect this to the device’s Red constant power wire.
Note: The device’s white wire will not be used since the XT45 is programmed for motion.
Cut the identified vehicle wire, strip ½ inch of insulation from both ends, and separate (fray) the wire strands on one end.
Strip ½ inch of insulation from the device’s White wire, fray the strands, and twist it together with the frayed end of the vehicle wire.
Insert the single vehicle wire into one side of the connector and the two twisted wires into the opposite side, then crimp both ends securely.
Apply heat to the connector until the adhesive seals the connection and creates a weatherproof bond. Finish by securing the wiring with a cable-tie stress loop.
4. Ground Connection.
Remove 1/2“ (1 cm) of insulation from the Black wire, crimp the ring terminal to the wire, heat connector and then screw ring terminal to the chassis.
5. Verification and Registration.
Start the engine and run for 5 minutes; the internal battery must have a charge to pass verification for the ‘Small Battery’ installation type.
Confirm cellular and GPS connection: upon the device receiving power, device lights will begin to blink as it searches for signal. A solid blue light indicates a cellular network connection and a solid green light indicates a GPS connection.
Open the web app: https://verifygps.gpsinsight.com/ on your computer or smartphone.
– Enter your Install Key.
– Select ‘Device Type’ according to the wiring option installed and follow the instructions.
After verification and registration, using provided cable ties, place a cable tie over each fuse holder, secure any loose sections of cable, reassemble removed panels and give the Registration Card to your GPS administrator.
