FT 6200
4 Optional Auxiliary Input, Panic Button, or Outputs
(I/O Bundle)
Auxiliary Input
• The Auxiliary input can be used to detect and report a
change of voltage – both low to high and high to low.
Connect a switch or relay from your alarm system or any
other switched device to be monitored. When closed, the
switch must connect 12 Volt power to pin 10 (white wire of
the I/O Bundle). When open, the switch must connect this
wire to ground (0 Volts) or to nothing at all.
Panic Button
• Following the wiring diagram, connect a panic button to
pin 6 (black wire of the I/O Bundle ). Connect the other
terminal of the button to 12V power. The Panic button
must be a momentary contact switch that connects 12
Volts power to pin 6 when it is pressed.
Outputs
• Outputs can be used to remotely control vehicle functions
such as door lock/unlock and ignition disable/enable.
• There are two outputs available. Each can be configured,
via the web portal, to either toggle or pulse. The outputs
are control signal level current sinks (the opposite of a
current driver) so they must generally activate a relay in
order to switch vehicle functions.
• Follow the wiring diagrams and Output Relay
Specifications carefully when connecting the beacon
outputs into vehicle systems.
All connection points and wire colors documented in this section reference the I/O Bundle.
6 Test
• For the first test, the vehicle should be outdoors in an open area where GPS signals can be readily received
• Watch the indicator LED on the beacon for the first few minutes after all power and antennas have been connected. It
indicates the following status:
• Ensure that the indicator LED is showing flashing green.
• Perform an end-to-end system test by locating the beacon via the user portal
Color/Action Function
Orange/Steady Searching for satellites – no fix
Orange/Flashing GPS fix acquired
Green/Steady GSM Connection established
Green/Flashing GPRS Data being transferred
NOTE
It may take up to an hour, usually
much less, for the wireless
network and the GPS receiver
to synchronize the first time the
beacon is powered up.
• Connect the two antenna cables to the beacon using
the corresponding coaxial connectors.
• Attach the wiring harness to the beacon and ensure
that the retaining clip snaps in place.
• Affix the beacon securely to the vehicle using the
mounting plate and screws provided. Drill mounting
holes as required.
• If a suitable panel for affixing the supplied mounting
plate is not available, fastening the beacon to a bracket
or wire bundle with plastic cable ties is also adequate.
• Coil and secure any loose or extra length wire.
