Plug Connector Type
The connector is a standard 24 pin Molex Mini Fit Jr.
- Plug Housing: Molex Mini Fit Jr 39012240
- Compatible Pins: Molex 46018-1541 or 46018-1541
- ProTip: a 24 pin Molex harness from a computer power supply can also work as a secondary wiring harness
GPS
Connect the included GPS antenna to this port.
- Note: Tighten this connection to 5-6 inch/lbs (just beyond finger tight). Do not over torque
Cellular Telemetry
If optioned with the 3.5G real-time cellular telemetry module, connect the cellular antenna to this port.
- Note: Tighten this connection to 5-6 inch/lbs (just beyond finger tight). Do not over torque
Antenna Placement Guide
GPS
For optimal GPS reception, install GPS antenna with a clear 360 degree view of the sky, such as on the roof of the vehicle.
Cellular antenna
For optimal cellular performance, install the cellular antenna on the roof of the vehicle, using the roof as a ground plane.
Antenna separation
It's recommended you separate the GPS and cellular antennas as reasonably far apart as possible, such as mounting at opposite ends of the roof.
- Note: - about 3 foot / 1 meter separation is ideal.
RJ45 CAN + Power connection
The RJ45 port provides connections for power and both CAN channels.
OBDII CAN cable
The RJ45 port is normally provided for the OBDII CAN cable accessory for a convenient plug and play OBDII connection
Custom Cable
You can also use a common RJ45 ethernet cable to provide power, ground and CAN bus data for a custom application.
| Connection | CAT5 EIA-T568B RJ45 cable |
|---|---|
| +12v | Brown |
| Ground | Orange/White |
| CAN 1 High | Orange |
| CAN 1 Low | Green/White |
| CAN 2 High | Blue |
| CAN 2 Low | Blue/White |
Note: These color codes assume EIA-T568B RJ45 cable (check printing on the cable to confirm)
