RED WIRE
+12-24VDC, fused @ 1A
BLACK WIRE
Ground/Frame
ORANGE WIRE
Trigger: Reverse Signal or Key/Ignition
(12-24V, Active High)
Connect to the same terminal as the
RED
wire for Key/Ignition activation if
necessary.
The antenna is active at all times provided it has power but will
not
detect tags unless the
ORANGE
trigger wire is connected.
The
ORANGE
wire of the Antenna must be connected to either
a Reverse Signal or the same voltage (key/ ignition power) as
the
RED
wire.
If the Antenna’s ORANGE wire is connected to
ignition power (same spot as RED), the antenna scanning
