TROUBLESHOOUTING CHECKLIST

Minimum requirements for GPS Data collection by a Shadow

Tracker™ Premier mobile unit in the vehicle.

1. Constant 12 volt DC power to the RED wire. This can be verified by

looking at the LED lights on the front of the unit, are any LED's lit?

2. GPS satellite signal acquisition. This can be verified by looking at

the GPS LED. The LED will be RED when the unit has NOT acquired

a signal and it will be GREEN when the unit HAS acquired a signal.

If the GPS LED is RED check the location of the GPS antenna on the

vehicle, try moving to another location. Keep in mind that when

first powered on the unit may take up to 15 minutes to acquire a

GPS satellite signal

3. Switched ignition power to the blue reference wire. This can be

verified by connecting the direct connect harness to the Harness

Tester and verifying the RED LED is on when the vehicles ignition is

on and the vehicle is running.

Note: Some vehicle circuits are on timers meaning they will supply

power for a time then remove power. We recommend on problem

vehicles to actually drive the vehicle for at least two minutes

monitoring the LED lights on the Harness tester.

4. Vehicle speed must be above 9 miles per hour. This minimum

speed is adjustable but this should only be a concern on vehicles

such as street sweepers or other slow moving vehicles. Contact

Tech Support for help if you must adjust this setting.

Minimum requirements for Data Transmission from the Shadow

Tracker™ Premier mobile unit to the Premier Base.

The Shadow Tracker™ Premier mobile unit must simply be able to
