This guide explains how to install and wire a wireless BLE relay for remote control of fuel pumps or starter circuits via an asset tracker. The solution enables remote immobilization or reactivation of vehicle systems using BLE communication between the asset tracker and the relay.
Wireless BLE Relay Module
BLE-compatible Asset Tracker
7V–32V DC power supply (vehicle battery or auxiliary source)
Standard wiring tools (cutter, stripper, crimper)
Below is the visual wiring diagram for connecting the relay:
Red Wire → Connect to +7V–32V DC Power Source
Black Wire → Connect to Vehicle Ground
These connections power the BLE relay module.
Cut the control wire leading to the fuel pump or starter. Connect the two ends of this wire as follows:
Blue Wire (Common) → Connect to one side of the cut wire
Orange or Gray Wire → Connect to the other side
You can choose between two configurations:
The circuit is closed by default (i.e., fuel pump/starter remains active).
When the relay is triggered, the circuit opens, cutting off the pump/starter.
✅ Best for immobilization by default with manual or remote trigger control.
The circuit is open by default (i.e., fuel pump/starter is disabled).
When the relay is triggered, the circuit closes, activating the pump/starter.
✅ Use this when you want manual enabling on demand.
⚠️ Recommended setup: Use the orange wire for standard immobilization control.
Secure the relay in a dry, concealed area near the engine fuse box or dashboard.
Ensure BLE range coverage between the asset tracker and the relay location.
Connect the red wire to the ignition-switched or constant power source (7–32V).
Connect the black wire to a solid ground on the vehicle chassis.
Locate and cut the control wire of the fuel pump or starter.
Connect:
One cut end to blue wire (Common)
The other cut end to orange or gray, based on the required control logic
Ensure the asset tracker is BLE-compatible and configured to communicate with the relay.
Use the asset management platform or mobile app to pair and test the relay’s control signals.
Simulate relay triggers using the tracker interface.
Ensure the fuel pump/starter activates or cuts off as expected.
Secure all wiring and cover exposed areas with insulation.
