SHADOW TRACKER PREMIER

Connecting a Shadow Tracker Premier in a Vehicle

Mounting and Placement

The Shadow Tracker Premier Tracking Units are not weather-proof, and are to be mounted inside

the vehicle’s passenger compartment. The recommended placement location is under the

dashboard or in the glove compartment, but the Unit may be placed anywhere inside the vehicles

passenger compartment, as long as it is kept out of direct sunlight.

OTE: The Shadow Tracker Premier comes equipped with an internal radio antenna

Connecting Power

The Tracking Unit must remain connected to a continuous power supply during vehicle movement

for accurate GPS collection and storage. The battery on the vehicle serves as the power source

for the Shadow Tracker Premier Unit. However, if a Unit is left on for an extended period in

which the vehicle is not running, the Unit

may drain the vehicle battery to the point that the vehicle

cannot be started.

To install the DC Direct-Connect Cable:

1 Connect the RED wire to a constant 12-volt positive power source. This connection must

be made at a place where the Unit will have power even when the vehicle is turned off.

2 Connect the BLUE wire to a switched 12-volt positive power source. This connection

must be made at a place where the Unit will have power only when the vehicle is running,

and not when the vehicle is turned off. This tells the Shadow Tracker Premier Unit that the

vehicle is turned off, and that the vehicle is stopped.

If you can not locate a switched power source, then the BLUE wire must be connected to the

same constant power source as the RED wire.

NOTE: If the BLUE wire is connected to a continuous power source then the stop reporting may

not be as accurate. The BLUE wire must be connected to a power source, either constant or

switched, or the Tracking Unit will not collect GPS data.

3 Connect the BLACK wire to a 12-volt ground source.

MPORTANT: Damage to the Unit will result if connected to a reversed polarity or higher voltage

connection. If you are unsure how to correctly make these connections, ATTI recommends having

the Tracking Unit installed by a local automotive electronics professional familiar with your vehicle.
