PIN Color Description

1 Power Red DC In (power source). Input voltage: 9V~36V. 12V suggested.

2 GND Black Ground

3 GND Black Ground, for connecting with temperature/fuel sensor etc.

4 Input1 White Digital Input (negative triggering). Socket for SOS panic button.

It also can be used for detecting the status of vehicle door.

Vehicles from China, Korea, Japan are normally negative triggering.

5 Input2 Purple Digital Input2 (positive triggering). It can be used for detecting ACC,

and the status of vehicle door. Vehicles from Europe, America are

normally positive triggering.

6 AD Blue 12 Bits resolution analog input. 0~6.6V DC detection.

It can be used to connect with fuel sensor etc.

7 Out Yellow Output. Low voltage (0V) when effective and open drain when

ineffective.

Output open drain sink voltage (ineffective): 45V max.

Output low voltage sink current (effective): 200mA max.

It can be used to connect with relay for engine immobilization.
