The 4-pin GPIO cable socket is configured to allow for using a 4-wire/GPIO cable to hardwire power for DC connections or for using GPIO. See the following for pin configuration:
PIN | Wire Color | Definition | Details | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 | 1 | Black | Ground | Ground to the vehicle chassis |
2 | Red | Power | VDC battery constant (see note below) | |
3 | Orange | Input | VDC ignition sensing accessory input (general purpose input when not installed in vehicle) | |
4 | Blue | Output | General purpose output |
Insert the 4-pin end of the power adapter into the 4-pin port on the router, ensuring appropriate alignment of pins as illustrated above.
Note
The diagram shows looking into the router socket. When making a custom cable, be sure to account for this. If installation requires building your own cable, use a Molex Micro-fit 3.0 Dual Row, 4-circuit connector.
Connect the wires on the other end to the appropriate fuse or power source.
Note
A 3A fused circuit is required for vehicle installations. In North America, a UL listed fuse must be used.
Allow one minute for the router to run through its boot sequence once power is applied to the unit. You may have to turn the vehicle ignition on if installed in a vehicle.
