The wire colors shown are for the power/GPIO cable that is included with the COR IBR900/950 and IBR1100/1150

or available as an accessory. Other wiring setups may have dierent colors.

If you need a power/GPIO cable that is longer than two meters, we recommend the following wire gauges (AWG):

• 22 gauge wire for up to 4 meters (~13 ft)

• 20 gauge wire for up to 6 meters (~20 ft)

• 18 gauge wire for up to 12 meters (~40 ft)

For additional power source options, see the adapters and cables accessories page.

INSTALLATION

The red wire (power) should connect to the positive (red) terminal of the battery, and the black wire (ground)

should connect to the chassis. To enable ignition sensing functionality, connect the orange wire (input) to the

ignition, or accessory, switch. The power and ignition wires can be attached directly or through the fuse panel.

The red power wire requires an inline fuse at 2.0 or 2.5 A. Either use an extra slot in the fuse

panel for this fuse, or splice an inline fuse directly into the wiring. Here is an example of how

to attach an inline fuse: http://youtu.be/RDOZT-dTITo.

Wire connections vary depending on the installation. Make sure your connectors are rated for

the gauge of your wires (e.g., the included power/GPIO cable is 22 AWG). See the sample crimp

connectors at right, and see this video example for how to attach a quick splice connector:

IGNITION SENSING

Ignition sensing allows you to set the router to power on when the ignition key is turned to ACC/ON, and then

power o after the ignition key is turned o with a designated time delay. For example, set your router to

remain on for an hour after the vehicle is turned o and then shut o. When the vehicle is turned on again, the

router will also turn back on.

Edit these settings on the GPIO Connector administration page. Go to the conguration pages for your device or

group in Enterprise Cloud Manager or log into the local device administration pages and go to SYSTEM > GPIO

Conguration. Refer to your product’s User Manual for GPIO conguration instructions.
