MGS602 Installation Instructions for light vehicles

This guide is intended as a quick instruction set for the MGS602 device

Please be advised that there is NO NEED for installers to alter configuration settings of MGS602 devices.

Only thing required is to start engine and check Ignition ON and Ignition OFF.

Please be advised that installation should take place while vehicle IGNITION is switched.

Before you start

READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE PROCEEDING TO ANY INSTALLATION

Install devices away from points of high moisture levels (e.g., under seats, floors, etc.) or points which are exposed to sunlight or high temperatures.

FTa devices packaging contain the relevant wiring (Wiring harness FTe) that you will need to, in order to proceed with the installation of the FTa telematic devices in vehicles.

The FTa devices wiring harness are provided with a fuse attached to the power cord. The fuse protects the power cord in case of short circuit in the cable between the fuse and the FTa. If you replace the fuse, you should replace it with the same type as the one originally installed by the factory. Using improper fuses or non-mounting of fuses at the recommended location might cause fire in the vehicle. The fuse protects the power cord and the FTa device in case of overload. The cables that are placed between safety fuse and the main power source of the vehicle are not protected from overheating in case of a short circuit. Route the cables in such a way that they are protected and ensure that you are following commonly accepted installation practices for aftermarket automotive electronic devices.

There are two acceptable methods of making a wire connection. You can solder the Constant Power and Ground cables to the vehicles power centre. Or you can crimp connectors with the use of the proper crimping tool.

Never use «t-tap» type connectors (poor quality mechanical type connection).

Never “twist and tape” without soldering your connection. Never connect cables directly to the fuse box.

Use a high-quality electrical tape or heat shrinkable insulation. A poor-quality tape will loosen if it is hot and will not provide adequate insulation.

Insulate the wires not used during installation. If the insulation is not appropriate, false alarms and increased consumption on vehicle’s battery may occur.

Hardwired FTe devices are connected directly to the 12V/24V over the OBD port of the vehicle. There is no activation – on/off, switch on the devices. Devices operate 24 hours a day.

The GPS/RF Combo antenna must be mounted flat with the GPS Receiver facing up (The writing - POSITION UPWARDS- is facing up). The ideal location is on the roof; however, the antenna can be installed under/top of the dashboard or on the window. If the vehicle window has a solid dark coating around the edge, do not place the GPS antenna behind the coating. The GPS signals will travel through the clear glass but will be reduced if the window has any metallic coating or tint applied.

The GPS/RF Combo antenna will work best if it has a clear view to the sky and as much of the horizon as possible. Any metallic objects between the antenna and the GPS satellites will degrade the signal and reduce the overall performance.

Confirm proper operation by connecting the antenna connections to appropriate connectors, use the thread-locking fluid to avoid tampering on antenna connectors and fuse holders for Red (main power) and Yellow/Green (ignition power) wires.

lnstaller portal view

When installation is complete, installation verification must take place in the installer portal.

1. Login using your personal PIN code:

Enter device IMEI (can be found on device box and on the device itself)

Validate incoming data from the device:

Data should be refreshing live
Ignition should be switching
GPS signal should be OK
Validate RFID sign-in and sign-out, RFID card ID should be displayed in the installer portal as last driver (Optional)

Validate immobilizer, vehicle should not start when signed-out (RFID reader greed LED OFF) (Opional)

4. Generate installation report and fill in all installation details:

Vehicle plate number should be entered in capital letters and digits
Brief description of where the unit is installed, connected wire colours etc.
Enter all required fields about the vehicle.
