Installation – Connecting Power and Main Interface Cable
Locate the fuse terminal in your vehicle and find a live, always-on power source that the
power cable can be connected to. In most vehicles a general power source is extracted
from the lighter connectors.
Locate the battery power source and a ground in your vehicle and use that as a power
source for the Micronet CE-507 wireless device.

Connect the red wire coming from the fuse to the always-on power source. Connect the
ground (black wire) to the ground source. For example:
Secure the Power Converter somewhere under or behind the dash so that it doesn’t
bounce around when vehicle is in motion. We recommend using zip-ties for this.

Main Interface Cable
The Main interface cable must be attached to the “Con1” terminal
connector of the device. This cable is provided with an integrated
power adaptor box. This box converts the vehicle 12V or 24V power
signal to 5V, as required by the device.

Antenna Connections
Both GPS and Communication antennas should be place on top of the dash on the
passenger side, as close to the front windshield as possible. They should be placed sideby-side, not one on top of the other. If necessary, you can use Velcro or double-sided tape
to secure the GPS antenna. Snake the antenna cables down through the dash and out to
the CE-507. Connect each antenna to the appropriate connector on the device.
GPS Antenna
Communications Antenna
NOTE: Any excess antenna and interface cable length should be coiled neatly
somewhere under the dash. We recommend using zip-ties for this.
