The red wire is to be connected to the positive (+) side of the battery and the black lead to the
negative (-) or chassis side. A fuse holder has also been included with the power cable. The red
conductor of the zip power cable should be cut and stripped about ¼ inch on both ends. Each
end should be inserted into the Posi-Lock fuse holder and screwed down tight. The bare end of
the wire should be inserted / crimped into a crimp lug or other suitable connector (not included).
The lug should be connected to the positive (+) battery terminal or a switched positive (+)
terminal.
If the SU is connected directly to the positive (+) battery terminal, the SU will continue to be
powered when the ignition switch has been turned to the OFF position. Extended vehicle idle
periods may drain the vehicle battery if the unit is not turned off using the front panel button. If this
is a concern for your installation, efforts should be made to connect the positive (+) terminal to a
switched supply.
The black conductor should be stripped and a crimp lug or other suitable connector applied (not
included). The lug on the black conductor should then be connected to the negative (-) battery
terminal or chassis ground.

TraqAC Power Supply

The TraqAC can be utilized to power the SU during periods in which
the SU has been disconnected from the vehicle power and operation is
still required. That is, the SU can be powered by the TraqAC during
periods in which the SU data is being downloaded to a computer
containing the Traqview software.
The TraqAC is attached to the SU by inserting the power plug into the power connector socket
(PWR) on the SU. Once the TraqAC has been connected to the SU, it is ready to plug into the
110VAC wall outlet.

Traqmate Display Unit Installation

Mounting

It is important to mount the Display Unit so that it can be easily seen by the driver but does not
interfere with the operation of the vehicle. You may use the Velcro strip provided to attach the unit
to your gauge cluster or center console as shown below. This is a very flexible approach to
mounting the DU and works well for most applications. Care should be taken however, such that
the DU does not come loose during the anticipated operation of the vehicle. The DU has been
designed with the standard AMPS cellular-phone mounting pattern on the back cover. This allows
many cellular and satellite-radio mounting options to be used. These include goosenecks,
articulated arms, as well as the Display Unit Mounting Bracket and Suction Cup Window Mount
which are sold as accessories. With the Display Unit Mounting Bracket, the DU can be snapped
quickly and securely into the mating portion of the bracket, which remains permanently affixed to
the vehicle. Care should be taken to avoid strain on the DU cable.
