TR500-12 Install Guide

Understanding the Wiring

1. Power Connections:

• Wire 6 - Orange → Connects to a power source that is only active when the engine is running ( ACC power). This helps detect when the vehicle is on.

• Wire 7 - Black (PGND) → Connects to the vehicle's ground.

• Wire 8 - Red → Connects to a constant power source ( +7V to +60V DC). This ensures the device stays powered at all times.

2. Inputs & Outputs:

• Blue (DIN 2 - RPM) → Likely reads engine RPM signals.

• Brown (DOUT 1) → A digital output, possibly used to control external devices.

• Black (DGND) → Digital ground for signal connections.

• Green (DIN1 - SOS) → A digital input, possibly for an emergency or SOS button.

• Yellow (DOUT 0) → Another digital output.

• Orange (DIN 0 - ACC) → Digital input to detect ignition status.

3. Analog Inputs:

• White & Grey (AIN2 / DIN4 - 0-32V input) → Can measure a voltage between 0-32V or be used as a digital input.

• Pink (AIN2 / DIN5 - 0-32V input) → Another voltage measurement input.

• Black (AGND) → Analog ground, used for sensor connections.

Installation

• Power Setup:

• Connect the Red wire to a constant power source (battery or fuse box).

• Connect the Black wire to the vehicle’s chassis or another reliable ground.

• Connect the Orange wire to an ignition-switched power source (like the fuse for the radio or ignition system).

• Mounting Instructions:

• Install underneath the dashboard.

• Ensure the top side is facing right side up (to maintain GPS or signal reception).

• Avoid metal obstructions surrounding the tracker.

Accessorie

Buzzer

For audible speed alerts, connect the buzzer as follows:

• Positive (+) side: Connect to +12V constant power.

• Negative (-) side: Connect to the yellow (DOUT0) wire on the GPS device.

Troubleshooting

Device Lights Are Not Flashing

1. Ensure the device is receiving at least 12V power.

2. Verify the black wire is securely connected to the chassis ground.

3. Check if the fuse is blown:

• If blown, replace it with a new 2-amp fuse.

4. Restart the device:

• Disconnect power to the tracker.

• Wait 1 minute.

• Reconnect power.

• *

Device Lights Are Not Solid After 5 Minutes

1. Ensure the engine is on and the device is receiving both constant and ignition power.

2. Make sure the vehicle is outside (not inside a building) to avoid GPS signal blockage.

3. Check if the SIM card is properly inserted.

4. If the issue persists:

• Remove the SIM card.

• Wipe the contact with a clean fabric.

• Reinsert the SIM card into the device.

• *

Device Lights Turn Off After Flashing or Being Solid

1. Verify the device still has constant power.

2. If power is present:

• Disconnect power to the tracker.

• Wait 1 minute.

• Reconnect power.
