Power wire installation:

The MGS is connected directly to the vehicle's 12-volt system.

There is no on-off switch on the unit. The installed unit oper-

ates 24 hours a day and must be powered to log vehicle events

or send data as required by the client.

The MGS is shipped with one in-line 3-amp fuse attached to

the power cable. This fuse must be installed as close as possible

to the primary 12-volt source connection. The fuse protects the

power cable should there be a short in the cable between the

fuse and the MGS. This fuse must be installed properly. If the

fuse is replaced, it should be of the same type as originally

supplied from the factory. Failure to use the proper fuse or to

install the fuse in the recommended location could cause a

vehicle fire hazard. The fuse provides overload protection for

the power cable and MGS. The wiring installed between the

fuse and primary vehicle power is not protected from over-

heating if a short should occur. Use care when routing the

power cable and fuse. Route the cables where they will be pro-

tected and uses include commonly accepted install practices

for after market automotive electronic devices.

There are two acceptable methods of making a wire

connection:

•

Soldering your connections (recommended)

Crimp connectors (with the use of the proper crimping

•

tool)

Regardless of the method you choose, ensure that connection

is mechanically sound and properly insulated. Use high quality

electrical tape or shrink tubing, cheap tape will unravel in hot

weather making it a poor insulator.

Never use "t-tap" connectors (poor quality mechanical type

connection).

Never "twist and tape" without soldering your connection.

•

Extend the power wires on the MGS using splice crimp ter-

minals and your RED and BLACK 16 gauge Wire.

Run the ground (black) wire to a suitable chassis ground

•

by using the crimp ring terminal.

•

Run the positive (red) wire to the constant power (+12

volts DC at all times) and splice an inline fuse holder to the

end. This is to protect the wire run.

MGS200 Installation Guide

Splice the other side of the fuse holder to the power wire

•

identified in the vehicle with solder or crimp terminal.

Run the ignition switch input (brown) wire to the primary

•

ignition wire in the vehicle. Locate the appropriate wire

under the dash. When the ignition key is turned to the "On

or Run" position, this will show +12 Volts DC.
