complete tracking capabilities via any internet connected computer or
cell phone, anywhere in the world. The system is based on a proprietary two-way digital communications protocol that allows complete encrypted communication between the security and remote start system, data modules and the vehicle. The unit utilizes the latest Siemens telecommunications module as an engine for the interface which drives the cellular communication and GPS functionality. In this manner the user can control many aspects for the vehicle as well as complete full featured tracking capabilities with an icon based user interface. The system can in many ways eliminate the need to carry hand held remote controls allowing unlimited range for complete operation and a total solution for the control and tracking of the vehicle.
Precautions:
The C|3 system uses the cellular network for communication. Outages of the cellular system can occur from time to time. It is highly recommended that a remote still be accessible for the operation of the vehicle in case a cellular system outage occurs.
The C|3 will operate anywhere covered by the cellular system. In some remote areas there will be no cellular coverage for the system to operate. This can depend on the carrier, terrain and environmental factors that can interfere with normal cell phone operation.
It is highly recommended that a data and text message plan be purchased for the phones controlling the C|3 in your vehicle or vehicles. This will prevent additional billing from your cell phone provider. The C|3 uses compact data bursts that are typically very small in size however these could add up.
This unit as well as the user’s cell phone MUST be programmed before they will operate. Please see dealer and user programming contained in this manual.
• To prevent accidental activation, only connect power to this
Please be sure that your data module is downloaded with the
latest software and two-way protocol.
Never operate the C|3 when driving the vehicle.
Never leave small children or pets in an unattended vehicle.
Always install and test the remote starter or alarm system 100%
before proceeding to install the C|3. All operations must work according to the manuals of these devices before C|3 is installed.
Main Unit:
Mounting:
Mount the main C|3 unit in the interior of the vehicle. This may be installed under the dash board or seating. Please insure that the unit is close to the Alarm or remote start system so the data cables can be connected. The unit can be mounted vertically or horizontally and must be securely held to minimize vibration and movement that may impair the driver’s ability to operate the vehicle. Always solder all connections and provide room to run the data, power and antenna cables.
Wiring: Power connection:
Note: The power connection should be connected to the proper power sources but not plugged in until the entire installation has been complete. If the SIM card has not been activated before power is applied to the unit, the unit will need to be power-cycled after the SIM card is authorized by unplugging the power and data connections for 5 seconds
The C|3 has 2 data plugs that need to be connected correctly for the system to operate. These inputs are labeled and cannot be interchanged. These cables will control the alarm and remote start system as well as the data module if used. The cables can be interchanged but they need to be connected to the proper socket for correct operation.
Data Cable “A”: This cable can be attached to an ADS data module. This connection does not need to be made if no data module is required for the installation.
Data Cable “B”: This cable must be connected to connector B and to the data port of the Auto Page alarm or remote start system. This is vital to communicate commands to the unit.
These data cables are encrypted and will ONLY work with Autopage C|3 compatible products and ADS data modules. Please insure the latest software has been downloaded to the ADS module. Autopage One way ADS units will operate but will have limited functionality. Please be sure to chose the two-way protocol if available when updating or downloading your ADS data module.
Antenna Mounting:
The C|3 unit comes with a combination GPS and GSM antenna. This antenna should be mounted on the dash or rear deck of the vehicle with a good view of the sky above. This is important for maximum performance of the C|3 unit and these are the preferred locations. These antennas can be mounted below a plastic dashboard or installed in the dash but this will affect the performance of the antenna. Where a strong
The combinat
ion antenna has two sets of coaxial cable coming
from it. These are both marked with a tag that will identify the function of that wire. These cables cannot be interchanged and need to be attached correctly for operation.
NEVER CUT or extend the antenna cables for any reason. GSM: The antenna lead labeled GSM is for the reception and
transmission of cellular signals. This should be connected to the antenna terminal marked with GSM on the back side of the C|3 unit. Please insure that this connection is tight and will not vibrate loose.
GPS: The antenna lead labeled GPS is for the tracking portion of the C|3 unit. It relies on Global Positioning Satellites to determine the location of the vehicle and is accurate to within a few feet. The cable Labeled GPS should be connected to the antenna terminal marked GPS on the back side of the C|3 unit. Please insure that this connection is tight and secure.
A high power covert mounted antenna can be purchased from Auto Page. This can be used if the user would like to mount the antenna in a non conventional place or if the device is used where cellular or GPS signals are very weak. Please call your local Authorized Auto Page dealer for details. Part #: C|3 Covert Ant Kit.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is the only fully functional Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) utilizing a constellation of at least 24 medium Earth orbit satellites that transmit precise microwave signals, the system
