Connecting
device's covers.
3.3.1 Connecting the power cable to the vehicle
The device's power supply cable must be connected to the vehicle's fuse box. When connecting electrical accessor-
ies, always follow the recommendations of the vehicle's manufacturer.
Here are some general tips:
• Disconnect the positive battery cable from the vehicle's battery post.
• Find an empty fuse slot with 5 A - 10 A fuse ratings.
• Seal the cable conductors with suitable crimp connectors, fuse tap or bare wires (depending on the fuse box con-
nectors).
• Connect the BATTERY (+) conductor to the fuse connector.
• Connect the GND conductor to a battery ground connector (-).
• Alternatively, the IGNITION conductor can be connected to the vehicle's ignition switch (if available). If this feature
is not going to be used or there is another device controlling the system's power, connect the IGNITION signal to
the BATTERY (+).
• We recommended installing an approved vehicle circuit breaker.
• Insert the new fuse into the fuse box's fuse slot.
• Connect the positive battery cable to the vehicle's battery post.
Cable Connection to vehicle power source

All components used in the connection to the vehicle should be UL listed and comply with the regulations applicable
in the country where they are installed.
The cabling should be separated from other vehicle wiring and should not rest against any sharp edges.
The power supply cable goes from the fuse panel to the router along the vehicle wall (ALWAYS inside the vehicle
