Thank you for purchasing The DiyTrack Defender® vehicle tracker and alarm

The Defender ® can be installed in any type or make of vehicle with a voltage range of 12-24v. However the immobiliser

Function only operates on 12volt vehicles.

Each unit has been manufactored to the highest quality to ensure reliability and ease of use.

GPS Fundamentals

There is a minimum of 24 operational GPS satellites at all times. The satellites, operated by the U.S. Air Force, orbit the earth every

12 hours. Each GPS satellite transmits data that indicates its location and the current time. All GPS satellites synchronize operations

so that these repeating signals are transmitted at the same instant. The signals, moving at the speed of light, arrive at a GPS receiver

determined by determining the amount of time it takes for their signals to reach the receiver.

When the receiver determines the distance to at least four GPS satellites, it can by triangulation, calculate its position in

three dimensions.

To ensure the GPS unit receives enough satellite signals at an acceptable signal strength, the antenna must be mounted

so that it has a clear view of the sky. In hidden locations, such as under the dash, a clear view can be challenging. In these locations,

it is important to keep any metal interference as far as possible from the top of the GPS antenna so that the most accurate

position can be calculated.

While GPS data collection has improved in ease and speed, some obstacles remain. Solid or dense objects can block GPS signals.

Wet trees with heavy branches and leaves can mask or attenuate GPS signals. Mountains and buildings can block satellite transmission.

Multipath signals can corrupt GPS data. Multipath is a reected signal from some nearby objects. The resulting propagation delay

can aect measurement accuracy. GPS electronics advancements have reduced the multipath threat but GPS eld operators and

users should be aware of obvious multipath environments.

All GPS Trackers require a SIM card

To get the location data from the GPS tracking unit to a users computer some transmission channel is required.

The Tracker uses GPRS and only sends a very small amount of data.

Installation Process

Solder and insulate all connections (Crimping should be avoided wherever possible)

WARNING

Installing and mounting the DEFENDER® module

The best location for a stealth installation is beneath the front dash,behind the radio or instrument cluster.

Please use nylon tie straps (cable ties) to firmly mount the unit.

Connecting the switched ignition 12/24v cable/wire (Pin 3 White wire)

Locate the Pin 3 White cable/wire found on the 10 pin connector.

Connect the Pin 3 White cable/wire to the switched 12/24v ACC ignition of the vehicle.

It is important that switched 12/24v drops to zero (0) volts with the ignition off and restores back

to 12/24v with ignition on. This connection is used to monitor the engines on/off state.

How to find (+) 12/24v switched ignition with a digital multi meter

1. Set your meter to DCV or DC voltage.

2. Attach the (-) negative probe of the meter to the chassis ground.

3. Probe the wire you suspect of being the ACC wire in the steering column, your meter should read (+) 0v

4. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” position. If your meter reads (+)12/24VDC go to the step 5. if not probe another wire.

5. Now turn the key to the start position. The meter display should stay steady (+)12/24v. If it drops close to or all the

way to zero (0), go back to step 3, if it stay at (+) 12/24v then you have the ignition ACC wire.

To prevent a possible transient voltage surge it advised to disconnect the vehicle battery.

Disconnect the ground (-) cable/terminal. Please note warranty does not cover damage from a transient voltage surge.

Connecting the 12/24v Power cable/wire (Pin1 Red cable/wire)

Securely attach the 10 Pin connector plug into the DEFENDER® module.

Locate the Red cable/wire found on the 10 pin connector.

Connect the Red cable/wire to a constand 12/24v source. Please note: It is important that the 12/24v power

source maintains 12/24v at all times,even if the vehicle is switched off. Power should be taken directly from the ignition

column, where you will find constant power and switched ignition, this is the cleanest source of power for your tracking

unit. DO NOT use the radio as a source of power. DO NOT connect the Yellow and Red cables/wires together.

The Yellow cable/wire must be connected to the switched ignition (see hereunder).

Connecting the Ground cable/wire (Pin 6 Black cable/wire)

Locate the Black cable/wire found on the 10 pin connector.

Connect the Pin 6 black cable/wire to the closest point of a solid chassis ground uninhibited by paint or plastics.

It is important that you DO NOT use any floating ground from the vehicle’s electrical system. Alway connect

the ground Pin 1 Black cable/wire directly to the chassis body and secure with a factory bolt or aftermarker screw.

Re-connect the negative terminal to the vehicle battery and proceed to the next step.

Door status detection

Refer to your vehicle/owners manual to confirm if the vehicle central locking actuator is a positive trigger or negative

trigger system.

This connection will trigger alarm and alerts if door opens when system is armed.

If your actuator is a POSITIVE trigger then connect the PIN 4 Green cable/wire

to the signal cable/wire of the actuator

If your actuator is a NEGATIVE trigger then connect the PIN 8 Blue cable/wire

to the signal cable/wire of the actuator

Wiring Diagram

Solder and insulate all connections (Crimping should be avoided wherever possible)

WARNING

A. Connect Pin7 yellow wire/cable to the yellow wire/cable (86) of the relay

B. Connect the white wire/cable (85) of the relay to a constant 12/24v source

C. Cut the positive wire of the vehicle ignition coil / fuel pump / solenoid etc

D. Connect the green wire of the relay (30) to one end of the positive wire that you cut

E. Connect the green wire of the relay (87a) to one end of the positive wire that you cut

Power cut relay (Optional connection)

This connection is to remotely immobilise your vehicle. Please be cautious if installing

this optional immobiliser function as large currents are carried when starting the vehicle

and we would hate for you to have an unplanned vehicle stop due to an installation failure.
