3 Wire Install
For basic installation, install the included installation harness into the MiFleet tracking hardware.
1. Power (Red Wire): Must be connected to a constant power source. Proper wiring will ensure you receive accurate reporting within the MiFleet Tracking application.
*Incorrect wiring of the red wire can cause the unit to show incorrect power up events. Good sources to tie Power into are (Battery, Alarm System, and Clock).
2. Ground (Black Wire): A good connection is vital for proper performance. When wiring the ground wire from the harness, look for a bolt, screw, or wire that contacts the bare metal of your vehicle’s chassis.
3. Ignition (White Wire): A switched power source is only ON when the ignition is keyed ON - connect the white wire to a switched power source. This will register ignition off and on events when the vehicle is switched off or on. Recommended sources: Ignition Switch in fuse box, fuel pump.”
4. Locate an installation location for placement of the MiFleet hardware. Place the tracking device in line of sight. Do not place under metal, or adhere to the sub-frame chassis; this will cause interference. DEVICE BARCODE MUST FACE THE SKY. For large commercial vehicles and trucks we recommend fixing the device to the dashboard or glovebox. For a smaller compact vehicle we, recommend the same location as well as against the dashboard on the back window.
*To prevent the unit from moving or falling it is recommended to use a zip-tie to securely fasten the device to the vehicle sub frame. This is important to get accurate acceleration-based events.
5. To complete installation, all vehicles should validate the Ignition ON/OFF functionality on the MiFleet software platform.
6. If the Platform does not report/show ignition changes please have the installer verify the wire connections and/or proceed to call MiFleet support for questions and troubleshooting steps.
YELLOW is recommended installation zones. Make sure the barcode of your MiFleet hardware is facing the sky.
* The Commercial Fleet Device has two (2) status LEDs. Confirm the status using the following blinking patterns:
