TU600-X
Introduction
This document contains the installation guide for the (GSM/LTE M1/NB IOT/GNSS) product type
series TU600-X units. This manual is intended for use by system integrators, service providers and
application developers (collectively, “Resellers”). It is not intended for end-users of the TU600-X.
Any end-user documentation is to be prepared and furnished by the resellers.
This manual covers the TU600-X with 60.012 and later firmware operating on:
2.5G bands [850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz] Global System for Mobile
communication (GSM) networks.
LTE bands [700 MHz, 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz,
2100 MHz] LTE M1/NB IOT networks.
Data and Event Reporting support is by Short Message Service (SMS), General Packet
Radio Service (GPRS), or both.
This manual describes how to set up, configure, install, operate, and troubleshoot the product.
Even if you have used other GSM, LTE M1/NB IOT or Global Positioning System (GPS) products
before, Trackunit recommends that you spend some time reading this manual to learn about the
special features of this product.
Trackunit assumes that you are familiar with Microsoft Windows.

system from Trackunit A/S called Trackunit Manager. TU600-X devices are integrated to Trackunit
but can also be used together with third part system providers.
Safety first
Simple Guidelines
Please follow these guidelines when configuring, using or recycling the TU600-X. Violating these
guidelines may be dangerous, illegal or otherwise detrimental. Further detailed information is
provided in this manual.
Do Not Operate Where Prohibited
Do not allow the TU600-X unit to operate wherever wireless phone use is prohibited or when doing
so may cause interference or danger. The TU600-X cannot be turned off after installation, so any
vehicle, moving machinery, construction machinery using TU600-X etc. must not enter areas
where it is prohibited to operate wireless phones as the device periodically turns on the transmitter
in a short period of time to perform tracking reporting.
Examples include but are not limited to operation in hospitals, aircrafts, near blasting sites or
wherever operation can cause interference.
TU600-X
Interference
Like all wireless devices, the TU600-X may encounter electrical interference that may affect its
performance.
Avoid Body Contact with Device during Operation
Do not operate the TU600-X in direct contact with your body. Maintain at least 8 inches (20 cm)
separation between the device and any parts of your body.
Qualified Service
Except for batteries and Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card, the TU600-X contains no
user serviceable or replaceable parts. Non-functioning units must be returned to an authorized
service center for repair or replacement.
Accessories and Batteries
Use only Trackunit approved accessories or batteries. Do not connect incompatible products.
The battery package is a Trackunit design, no other battery designs are compatible with the battery
holder of the TU600-X. There is risk of explosion or fire if an incorrect type replacement battery is
forced into the battery holder as contact may generate a short circuit. Additionally, the battery
holder will be destroyed.
Do not exceed the temperature ranges or other environmental conditions specified by the battery
manufacturer, see battery safety chapter below. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions provided with the batteries.
Water-Resistance
The TU600-X series is water-resistant according to the IP-68 standard. It is however
recommended that it is be used where it is relatively dry and not subjected to either water streams
or submersion.
Detailed Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
The TU600-X unit is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. Periodically the TU600-X wakes
up either due to activity or by a timer. When it is ON, it receives and sends out radio frequency
(RF) signals for a short period of time when awake.

TU600-X
battery.
The TU600-X unit cannot be turned off after
installation; however, the unit is mostly asleep waiting
for either the wake-up timer or activity on the
acceleration sensor.
The unit operation can continue for approximately 3 to
4 days depending on the charging state of the backup
The TU600-X unit is designed for vehicular use only.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals generated by the TU600-X unit.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”)
inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. The following precautions apply:
The TU600-X unit is not intended for handheld use or to be worn on the body.
It is always recommended that a minimum separation of 8” inches (20 cm) to be maintained
between the TU600-X unit and any persons’ body after end user installation.
Other Medical Devices
If any other personal medical devices are used in the vicinity of a TU600-X unit, consult the
manufacturers of the medical devices to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Physicians may be able to assist in obtaining this information.
The TU600-X unit cannot be turned off after installation, so any vehicle, moving machinery,
construction machinery installed with the TU600-X etc. must not operate near health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas prohibit the use of wireless phones or two-way radios.
Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding the vehicle. Also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
Trackunit TU600-X, Technical Manual v1.0, December 2019 Page 9
TU600-X
Posted Facilities
The TU600-X unit cannot be turned off after installation, so any vehicle, moving machinery,
construction machinery installed with the TU600-X etc. must not enter any facility where posted
notices prohibit the use of wireless phones or two-way radios.
Aircrafts
FCC and FAA regulations prohibit using wireless phones while in the air. Do not carry the TU600-X
unit aboard an aircraft as it cannot be turned off.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
The TU600-X unit cannot be turned off after installation, so any vehicle, moving machinery,
construction machinery installed with TU600-X etc. must not enter any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Additionally, the TU600-X must not enter or in areas posted “turn off two-way radio” to avoid
interfering with blasting operations. Obey all signs and instructions.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked clearly. Potential
areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and
any other area where it would normally be advisable to turn off motor vehicle engines it is not
allowed to enter with a vehicle, moving machinery, construction machinery installed with the
TU600-X.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including the TU600-X unit, in the area
over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If in vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.
Specific Human Absorption Rates (SAR)
THE TU600-X UNIT IS NOT DESIGNED TO BE WORN ON A PERSON’S BODY.
AS SUCH, BODY WORN TEST POSITIONS FOR THE TU600-X UNIT
ARE NOT REQUIRED BY EITHER THE IEC 62311 FOR GSM 900/1800 MHz BANDS, LTE
M1/NB IOT 800/900/1800/2100 MHz BANDS OR FCC/IEEE/ICNIRP REQUIREMENTS FOR GSM
850/1900 MHz BANDS, LTE M1/NB IOT 700/850/1700/1900 MHz bands.
The TU600-X unit is not intended for handheld use or to be worn on the body. A minimum
separation of ten (8”) inches (20 cm) is to be maintained between the TU600-X and any persons’
body. Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) Web site at www.ctia.org.
