STEPP II HARDWARE DESCRIPTION VERSION 
1.01 
6.1.2.4.1  Why is required to connect a backup battery 
The Li-Ion batteries (e.g. 1100 mA/h) provide sufficient current form which 
the STEPP II can also continue to operate (except digital outputs, handsfree set 
as well heating/cooling system which do not operate only from the external 
battery) in case of operating voltage failures. So, in this way it enables the 
STEPP II terminal sending/receiving SMS, establishing a data or voice call or 
establishing a GPRS connection.
 
6.1.2.5  Ignition (pin 13) 
STEPP II provides two Ignition pins (pin 13) on the Molex and AMP 
connectors. Their functionality is the same. The vehicle ignition line (starter 
lock clamp 15) can be connected to one of the IGN pins of terminals (Pin 
13). Thus, it is possible to send an alarm SMS (by starting the car engine), 
prerequisite, the input IGN of the STEPP II should be configured for this 
purpose. Both pins 13 on the Molex connector and AMP connector are 
internally connected with each other, so they can be alternatively used. For 
more information see the corresponding figure in chapter 
Note that the STEPP II’s IGN pins are not assumed to switch on the STEPP 
II terminal, they are only inputs pin which can be used for specific customer 
requirements.
