Installatin Guide Cntig 6150 & 6151 Cmmercial Vehicle Prductivity and Security The Cntig 6150 & 6151* (cllectively knwn as the Cntig 615X) are highperfrmance beacns designed fr cmmercial prductivity and security. They are ideally suited t installatins in delivery and service fleets as well as public safety, mass transprtatin, utility, and ff-rad r cnstructin vehicles. Security features include unauthrized vehicle mvement and relcatin alerts, as well as a means f cnnecting ptinal auxiliary sensrs anywhere within the vehicle. Fr additinal installatin infrmatin please refer t the Installatin Best Practices dcument available thrugh the Resurce Center in yur Dealer Prtal. 1. Install Antenna The Cntig 615X cmes with a cmbined GPS/GSM antenna mdule. It is t be installed in a lcatin where the GPS perfrmance will be ptimum. There is a chice f three antenna types (see belw) which are available in either adhesive munt (fr internal applicatins), magnetic r screw/pst munt (fr external applicatins). Kit Cntents GPS Beacn device with SIM Cmbined GPS/GSM antenna Wiring harness Tls and Supplies Required Wire cutters, wire strippers Vltmeter (multimeter) Sldering irn, slder Electrical tape Plastic cable ties Screw drivers, munting screws Wrenches, sckets Caulking/Sealant fr external munting Drill fr thrugh-hle munting Determine the best lcatin fr the GPS Antenna The tp side f the antenna mdule shuld have a clear signal path t as much f the sky as pssible. Supprted antenna types include: Wedge Antenna Part #: 6150-ANT-WEDGE-A Size: 5.4 inch (138mm) length; 1.25 in (32mm) width; 0.44 in (11.2mm) depth; Black plastic husing, munted with peel-and-stick adhesive patches.

Installatin Guide Cntig 6150/6151 If the installatin is nt required t be cvert, an ideal lcatin is underneath the frnt windshield glass. Fr cvert installatins, an ideal lcatin is under the dashbard, as high and clse t the frnt windshield as pssible. If installing in a car, the antenna can usually be munted under the rear windw r in the trunk, under the rear deck, as clse t the rear windw as pssible. Fr best perfrmance, the tp f the antenna shuld face the sky thrugh the area f least signal blckage (see diagrams belw). Signals will penetrate uphlstery, carpet, plastic dashbards, etc., but nt metal panels r brackets. Signals will penetrate windw glass but nt metallic tinted windws r painted edges f windws. Radi antenna r defrst wires embedded in glass may degrade signals. 2 f 6 Cpyright 2011 Cntig Systems Inc. All rights reserved. www.cntig.cm

Determine the best lcatin fr the beacn a strng flat surface that can be drilled t accmmdate the munting hles is ideal. Any spt where the beacn can be fastened in place with plastic cable ties is suitable. Under a seat is ften a suitable lcatin fr beacn installatin. Be sure it is nt clse t any heat surces r areas that experience misture r vibratin. The beacn is nt waterprf r weatherprf and shuld always be installed in the passenger cmpartment f the vehicle. Visibility f the indicatr LEDs will be useful fr testing and trubleshting. 3. Cnnect Pwer and Ignitin Sense The 615X pwer harness has ne wire bundle cntaining 6 wires. The bundle cntains the 9-30V cnstant Pwer (red), Grund (black), and Ignitin Sense (yellw) wires. The input/utput (I/O) wires are as fllws: Input 1 (gray), Input 2 (purple) and Output (blue). Ntes: Cnnect the wiring harness t all the vehicle s cnnectin pints befre attaching the harness t the beacn. If wiring harness wires need t be extended, use the same gauge wire and slder the extensin wire n, then insulate with heat shrink tubing r electrical tape. Ensure that n wires are ruted near heat surces. Pwer Cnnectin Instructins Cnnect the black (grund) wire t battery negative r the vehicle chassis this wire MUST be cnnected first, befre the pwer r ignitin sense wires. Be sure the grunding screw is nt painted r cated with an insulating material. With the vehicle s ignitin turned ff, use a vltmeter t assist in finding a suitable, cnstant 9-30V pwer cnnectin pint directly t the vehicle s battery may be best. Ensure that any wires in the wiring harness that are nt t be cnnected d nt cme in cntact with pwer, grund, r any ther vltage. Insulate them with electrical tape. Ignitin Sense Cnnectin The ignitin sense cnnectin is mandatry. Failure t install the ignitin sense crrectly will result in errneus data being reprted frm the beacn. Find a surce f 9-30V that is switched n and ff with the ignitin key in the run psitin (accessry psitin is nt acceptable). This cnnectin shuld prduce 9-30V when the vehicle ignitin is ON and 0 Vlts when the vehicle ignitin is OFF. Cnnect the yellw (ignitin sense) wire t this pint. Vltage transitins must ccur instantly. Gradual r stepped transitins frm ne vltage t anther may nt be detected. 3 f 6 Cpyright 2011 Cntig Systems Inc. All rights reserved. www.cntig.cm

Installatin Guide Cntig 6150/6151 4. Auxiliary Input and Output Auxiliary Input The auxiliary input can be used t detect and reprt the pening and/r clsing f a circuit. An auxiliary input circuit is cnsidered t be clsed when either the Input 1 (grey wire) r Input 2 (purple wire) is cnnected t a vehicle grund surce. The auxiliary input circuit is cnsidered t be pen when either Input 1 r Input 2 is cnnected t an pen circuit r a 9-30V pwer surce. When using auxiliary inputs t measure the state f vehicle circuits, it is recmmended that yu use a relay t cntrl the input signal t the device. Output Output can be used t remtely cntrl vehicle functins such as dr lck/unlck and starter disable/enable. There is ne utput available. This utput can be cnfigured via the web prtal t interactively tggle an external circuit between pen and clsed states, r t pulse the circuit t the clsed state fr either ne r five secnds, then autmatically pen the circuit. T clse an external circuit, the 615X utput acts as a grund surce (r what is referred t as a current sink) t the external circuit. T pen an external circuit, the 615X utput will be pen. Since the 615X utput can draw a maximum current f 1.5A, it is recmmended that yu use the utput t cntrl a relay and use the relay t manage the external circuit. IMPORTANT NOTE: The 615X beacn perfrms a pwer reset cycle when vehicle ignitin n is detected r when pwer is cut t the beacn. During this reset cycle, the utput state f the beacn will change. This means that the utput setting may be changed upn ignitin. Fr installatins requiring supprt fr starter mtr disable, it is recmmended that yu install a latching relay, cmbined with an utput pulse, in rder t disable a starter mtr. 5. Cnnect and Munt Beacn Cnnect the tw antenna cables t the beacn using the crrespnding caxial cnnectrs. Attach the wiring harness t the beacn and ensure that the retaining clip snaps in place. Affix the beacn securely t the vehicle using the munting hles fund in the tabs at either end f the beacn. If a suitable panel fr affixing the beacn is nt available, fastening the beacn t a bracket r wire bundle with plastic cable ties is als adequate. Secure any lse r extra lengths f wire. Ensure that the SIM latch cvering the SIM scket is in the lcked psitin. 5 f 6 Cpyright 2011 Cntig Systems Inc. All rights reserved. www.cntig.cm

Watch the indicatr LED n the beacn fr the first few minutes after all pwer and antennas have been cnnected. It indicates the fllwing status: Clr LED 6150 6151 USR1 Green Green Functins Steady: Cnnected t GSM/GPRS netwrk. Flashing: Attempting t cnnect t GSM/GPRS netwrk. Off: Cannt cnnect t GSM/GPRS netwrk. NOTE It may take 15 t 20 minutes, usually much less, fr the wireless netwrk and the GPS receiver t synchrnize the first time the beacn is pwered up. PWR/ GPS Red Red Steady: Unit is pwered n. Off: Unit is pwered ff r in Standby mde. USR2 Red Blue Steady: GPS acquired. Off: Attempting t acquire GPS. Perfrm an end-t-end system test by lcating the beacn and testing ignitin sense via the user prtal. It is strngly recmmended that a rad test be perfrmed t verify the ignitin wiring and t ensure that the cnfigured scenaris are perfrming crrectly. 6150 6151 USR 1 PWR / GPS USR 2 USR 1 PWR / GPS USR 2 6 f 6 Cpyright 2011 Cntig Systems Inc.
