Overview

This manual outlines the standard installation practices required when installing EZY GPS tracking devices, relay harnesses and wiring systems.

The goal is to ensure all installations are:

  • Safe
  • Reliable
  • Professionally presented
  • Consistent across all installers
  • Compliant with automotive electrical best practices

All installers should follow these guidelines to ensure reliable system performance and maintain warranty compliance.

Installation Components

A typical EZY GPS installation kit may include:

  • EZY GPS tracker unit
  • Power wiring harness
  • Relay harness (for immobiliser installations)
  • Inline fuse

Before beginning, inspect all components for damage to wiring harnesses, connectors, and device housings.

Safety Requirements

Before starting installation:

  • Confirm the vehicle battery condition and voltage
  • Identify suitable mounting locations
  • Avoid areas exposed to heat or moisture
  • Avoid moving parts or steering components
  • Avoid wiring associated with airbags or safety systems

When installing immobilisation systems,disconnect the negative battery terminalbefore cutting wires.

Wiring Standards

Red Wire

Constant battery power (12V+)
Install a 3A inline fuse within 150mm of the power source
Black Wire
Ground / chassis earth
Use a factory earth point or properly prepared chassis ground
Orange Wire

Ignition / ACC signal
Install a 3A inline fuse within 150mm of the power source
Yellow Wire
Immobiliser trigger wire
Used when installing an engine immobilisation relay

Wiring Requirements

Installers should:

  • Use automotive-grade copper wiring
  • Solder or professionally crimp all electrical joins
  • Properly insulate all connections
  • Secure wiring using loom tape or conduit

Installers must not use:

  • Scotch lock connectors
  • Poorly crimped joins
  • Exposed wiring

Relay / Immobiliser Installation

The immobiliser relay is used to interrupt the vehicle starter motor circuit.

For anormally closed (NC) relay installation:

  1. Identify the correct starter motor signal wire
  2. Cut the wire cleanly
  3. Route both ends through the relay
  4. Install a fuse on the relay control circuit if required
Important Immobiliser Rules

Immobilisation must only interrupt thestarter motor circuit. Installers must never install on:

  • ECU power feeds
  • CANBUS communication wiring
  • Fuel pump circuits
  • Factory safety systems

Incorrect immobiliser installation can cause serious vehicle faults.

Mounting Standards

Tracker Placement

  • Recommended locations: upper dashboard cross beam, behind dashboard panels, behind the glove box.
  • Avoid: near heat sources, moisture, beneath heavy metal surfaces.
  • Mount the device with the logo facing upward toward the windscreen.
  • Secure using automotive-grade double-sided tape or cable ties. The tracker must not move or rattle.

Harness Routing
Wiring should follow factory loom paths wherever possible. Installers should:

  • Secure wiring using cloth loom tape
  • Avoid sharp metal edges
  • Avoid steering column movement
  • Avoid areas where trim panels may pinch wiring

Relay Mounting
Mount the immobiliser relay at least 300mm away from the tracker for improved concealment and security.

Recommended Installation Workflow

1
Switch on the tracker
Power on the tracker if required.
2
Confirm power sources
Use a multimeter to confirm power sources.
3
Mount the device
Mount the device securely.
4
Route wiring
Route wiring and trim excess lengths.
5
Connect constant power
Connect constant power wire (red).
6
Connect ignition wire
Connect ignition wire (orange).
7
Connect ground wire
Connect ground wire (black).
8
Install relay
Install relay immobilisation if required.
9
Reconnect battery
Reconnect vehicle battery.
10
Perform testing
Perform full testing and commissioning.

Testing and Commissioning

After installation confirm:

  • The device powers on
  • GPS signal is acquired
  • Mobile network signal is acquired
  • The device appears online in the platform
  • Ignition status updates correctly
  • The vehicle starts normally
  • No dashboard warning lights appear

If an immobiliser is installed:

  • Confirm the vehicle starts normally when immobiliser is off
  • Confirm the starter circuit is disabled when immobilised

The installer should remain with the vehicle until full functionality is confirmed.

Quality Control Checklist

Before returning the vehicle to the customer, confirm:

  • Wiring is secured and hidden
  • Device and relay are securely mounted
  • No exposed wiring is visible
  • Vehicle starts and stops normally
  • Customer login has been verified

Warranty Compliance

Failure to follow EZY GPS installation standards may void installation warranty coverage.

All installers must follow these guidelines to maintain system reliability, vehicle safety, and warranty compliance.
