3.5 External Alarm Trigger by ACC Wire (Option)
The Tracker is fitted with a Third (orange) wire, which is used to expand the tracker’s alarm facility by using external
switch or relay contacts. Intended to be used either as an Emergency Panic Alarm (SOS) or as a First line intruder
alarm, this wire can be configured to take switched inputs from N/O (normally open) Panic Switches, Door Contacts,
Glass Break Alarms, PIR’s and Micro-switches.
If the Track Bro detects a positive voltage (10v – 40v dc) on this wire, then an Alarm condition is created, which
sends an alarm message to the stored contact numbers. Alternatively the wire can be fitted to the IGN switched
circuit on the vehicle to warn against unauthorised use.

3.6 Low Internal Battery Warning
The Track Bro is fitted with a small internal Lithium Battery which is charged from the host power supply. In the
event that power is cut to the Vehicle, or the Battery removed then the internal battery will take over and continue
all normal operation and Tracking functions for up to 4 hours. In the Event that this battery reaches <20% capacity, a
text message warning will be sent to the main control number.
Battery condition is also routinely included on any Text Messages sent from the Tracker and appears in numerical
form such as BAT:1 to BAT:5, these numbers represent capacity in 20% increments, so BAT:1 will represent 20%
capacity and BAT:5 will represent 100% (full) Capacity.
