of the isolation switch. If the battery isolation device is a negative earth isolator, the –Ve Ground
connection must be taken from a chassis earth point to prevent potential feedback through the
telemetry unit when the isolation switch is activated.
The commissioning desk MUST be informed if the vehicle has a negative earth isolation switch
fitted as an internal battery backup unit may be required to be fitted during the installation process
if one is not supplied as standard.
NB.* All electrical connections should be checked and confirmed with the use of a multi-meter.
THE RATINGS OF THESE FUSES SHOULD NOT BE EXCEEDED AT ANY TIME
WARNING!

4 The T10 Family
The T10 family consists of a range of products to meet the demanding requirements of modern
day telematics.
In summary these variations have been categorised into two sub families called:
a. T10-Micro
b. T10-Lite (2/3/5/9 wire)
4.1 T10-Micro
The T10-micro is a plug and play product designed to be inserted into the vehicle ECU Diagnostic
socket (J1962) which usually is accessible within the driver cockpit area and can be accessed
without the need of specialised tools. This product does not require the involvement of a
specialised fitter and can usually be fitted by the end user. Units that are supplied with a
customer SIM fit option should follow the same SIM fitting process as described for the T10-Lite.
4.2 T10-Lite
The T10-Lite exists as 4 variants (2wire, 3wire, 5wire, 9wire) and requires the specialised
knowledge of fitting electrical equipment to vehicles. The T10-Lite 2/3/5wire devices (formerly
known as T10-MiniLite) which are very similar in size to the T10-Lite 9 wire product but contain
the following additional hardware features over the T10-Lite 2/3/5wire device:
1. A larger backup battery (1500mAH).
2. Addition of a Driver Interface Button (Cable CAB601).
3. Addition of a Driver Identification Dallas interface (Cable CAB700).
4. Addition of an Output to drive an immobilisation relay.
5. Addition of a PTO Input (NONE CAN variant ONLY).
6. Additional CAN Protocols (ISO 9041, KW2000)
5 Installation
5.1 T10-Lite Variants
Before you begin installing and commissioning the system please ensure that you have read this
manual thoroughly referring to any supplementary information provided for the T10 as required.
This document covers the T10 platform Control Unit and its connections through the following
process:
1. Recommended Sequence
2. Fitting the SIM
3. Mounting the Unit
4. Wiring and connections
i. Power, Ground and Ignition (ALL variants ex 2wire – Power/Ground ONLY)
ii. CAN (T10-Lite 5 wire & 9wire)

Important Notes!
When using the T10 platform you should remember the following:
2. In order for GPS to function correctly, the T10 must have a clear view of the sky in order to
receive data from the satellites. Should this view be obscured, e.g. the vehicle is parked in a
metal-clad building then the performance of the T10 platform may be impeded. Wherever
possible it is preferable to park the vehicle in a location where the antenna will have a clear
all round view of the sky.
3. Whenever you disconnect the T10 platform from the power supply it may lose its stored data
and so may take up to 30 minutes to obtain a GPS fix when you plug it back in. The T10
platform may also lose certain other information from its memory particularly if the optional
backup battery is not fitted. Please ensure that you take this into consideration when having
the vehicle serviced, as the vehicle battery connections are often removed during some
service procedures. Tell the service technician that you have a T10 fitted and request that if
possible they use a “vehicle memory saver” plugged into the cigarette lighter socket – this
type of device will support both the T10 and your vehicle radio system whilst the vehicle
battery is removed.
WARNINGS
1. Do not smoke or use open flames when working near the vehicle.
2. Ensure that the vehicle’s electrical cables, hydraulic lines, fuel lines, and safety
equipment are not damaged during the installation.
3. Ensure that normal control and operation of the vehicle is not impaired by the
installation, particularly the brakes and steering. Ensure that the airbag operation is not
obstructed.
The following installation sequence is recommended. Please refer to the detailed instructions
elsewhere in this document for further details.
1. Plan the whole installation and determine suitable locations, mounting arrangements and
cable routes for all hardware items.
2. Fit SIM card (if not supplied pre-installed). Please note that the SIM must be inserted
correctly and any SIM PIN code must be removed using a mobile phone.
3. Temporarily mount the main T10 unit with the IMEI label facing the sky to optimise GPS
performance and wire the Power and Ignition Sense feeds leaving the in-line fuses out.
(See section 5.4.2)
4. If the unit requires driver interface button refer to section 5.4.3.
5. If the unit requires Dallas interface connections refer to section 5.4.4.
6. If the unit requires an Input refer to section 5.4.5.
7. If the unit requires an output/immobiliser fitted refer to section 5.4.6 & 5.4.7.
8. If the unit is a CAN compatible unit refer to section 5.4.8.
NOTE
The CAN interface is ONLY active once the unit has detected an ignition sense.
9. Temporarily fit the main fuse in the unit and observe the LED on the unit for GPS/GPRS/CAN
10. Permanently mount the main T10.
11. Commission and test the system.

5.2 SIM Card
The SIM card fitting process is identical for the entire family range of products.
5.2.1 Before fitting the SIM card
1. If you have not already registered your SIM card with the mobile network, you should do this
before proceeding. Please refer to the appropriate mobile network operator instructions on
how you do this.
2. Make a note of the number on the SIM card (ESN) as well as a note of your Voice & Data
telephone numbers. There is a convenient space in Appendix B – T10 where you can
record this information.
3. Ensure that a PIN number does not protect the SIM card. If this is the case, it must be
removed before inserting it into the T10 platform – this can be done by inserting the SIM
into a suitable mobile telephone and then following your mobile telephone instruction
booklet.
5.2.2 Fitting the SIM card
Important Note!
The T10 range of products has been designed with SIM security in mind and as such
incorporates measures to prevent the SIM from being easily removed from the unit. It is
therefore important to ensure the appropriate SIM card is fitted the correct way because once
fitted it is extremely difficult to remove the covers of the enclosure to rectify this. The SIM cradle
used in the T10 is of the micro design (small footprint) and therefore requires the use of a micro
SIM card. Most SIM providers are providing SIM cards of this new design and they are usually
supplied within a carrier card incorporating both styles.
You simply snap out the appropriate size of your choice.
1. The SIM card is inserted into the product with the gold contacts facing downwards and the
chamfered corner facing outermost as shown below. Ensure the SIM card is pushed home
fully within its holder until it drops slightly into its resting place slightly below the slot line.

Generic T10 Installation Notes v1.7.doc 12.08.2015
Page 11
5.3 Backup Battery
The T10-Lite products can be supplied with a Li-ion Polymer 3.7v 1500mAh backup battery for
operational scenarios where the main power can be removed or the main power is required to be
monitored and alerted against in the event of a disconnection.
This Battery can ONLY be fitted/replaced as part of the production process of the unit and is NOT
a user fit/replacement feature. It MUST be returned to Factory for replacement.
5.4 Mounting the T10-Lite
You may choose to mount the Control Unit somewhere covertly e.g. in the boot, under the
parcel-shelf or under the dashboard. Suitable mechanical fixings such as cable ties can be used
(not supplied).
WARNINGS:
1. Your T10 Platform must be securely mounted in a location where it cannot
interfere with the normal operation of the vehicle. It must NOT be located in a
position where the cables or the Control Unit become a hazard to the driver or
passengers.
2. Under no circumstances may any part of the T10 system be installed inside
the engine compartment area.
3. For correct calibration of the accelerometer functions it is imperative that the
unit is securely mounted such as to maximise the auto calibration procedures
on board the unit. This is best achieved with the unit mounted flat in either the
horizontal or vertical plane.
5.5 T10-Lite Wiring and Connections
Important Notes!
1. Unauthorised changes or alterations to the equipment or the installation will invalidate
certification issued by the Approved Accreditation Body and could also affect the vehicle
manufacturer’s warranty.
2. The notes below should be read in conjunction with the T10 Block Diagrams.
3. All wiring should be professionally connected to the vehicle electrics via soldered connections
using automotive grade fuse holders and fuses.
4. All wiring should be safely secured to avoid damage from, or chaffing by, any hot or moving
parts.
5. Position the wiring carefully to avoid the possibility of snagging or impact damage during the
normal use of the vehicle.
6. Before any holes are drilled, check that no parts, wires, pipes or tanks could be damaged at
the exit point of the hole. Suitable grommets must be used where wires are routed through
body panels to prevent chaffing and short circuits to the chassis.
7. Leave the in-line fuses out of their holders until the installation is complete.

For further information please contact Orders@trakm8.com
5.5.2 Power Ground and Ignition Installation
The T10-Micro and T10-Lite 2 wire hardware do not require connection to a vehicle ignition
sense. Both of these devices use the on board accelerometer device to sense movement and as
such incorporate a logical ignition/journey detection process. This methodology although reliable
can be flawed in slow moving traffic and also by the Start/Stop technology of modern day
vehicles. It is therefore advisable that where possible a wire ignition sense is implemented.
T10 Installation Notes v1.7

Page 13
The following sections will detail the block diagrams and associated cabling for each of the T10
systems.
T10-Micro System
This system requires no wiring and simply plugs straight into the vehicle diagnostic socket.

Page 14
T10-Lite 9wire System
There are 4 main cable options used with the T10-Lite (CAB400, CAB405, CAB410 and CAB415).
These all have the same wire colour coding and location for the Power, ground and Ignition and
are connected as follows:
Wire
Colour
Description
Notes
Red
Vehicle Supply Positive (+ve)
Connect to a permanent Positive supply (6 to
30V) via a 2 amp in-line fuse.
Black
Vehicle Supply Negative (-ve)
Connect to permanent Negative supply.
Blue
Ignition Sense Positive (+ve)
switched (active high)
Connect to a switched ignition line via a 1 amp
in-line fuse. This ignition line should be a true
engine running signal to ensure that journey’s
are detected correctly. If true engine run is not
accessible, a second stage engine signal is
acceptable as long as ‘Smart Ignition’ is being
used in the configuration. This must be a
primary or “D circuit” connection. An auxiliary
ignition connection is NOT acceptable as this
will result in incorrect operation of the product.
It is highly desirable that these connections are soldered to ensure a good permanent connection
to the vehicle supply and ignition points. It is not the intention of this manual to cover all
electrical connection points for all vehicle types and therefore the experience of qualified fitting
staff is essential to ensure that suitable location points are found for the vehicle in question.
It is strongly recommended that power pick up points are chosen that DO NOT form part of an
auxiliary supply such as cigar lighter or auxiliary power sockets as these can be compromised by
the connectivity of third party devices such as power chargers, invertors, heating elements, tools
etc.

5.5.3 Driver Interface Button Installation (T10-Lite 9wire ONLY)
The T10-Lite 9wire has the option of fitting one of two driver interface buttons (CAB601/CAB602)
to the main power loom of the vehicle (CAB415).
The functionality of these variants is determined via software control.
The two variants are typically used to provide the following functionality:
a. Engineering mode
b. Business/Private Journey control.
c. Driver Alert button (Panic).
The construction of the CAB415 has been done in such a way as to make these functions a plug
and play option with either of the Trakm8 driver interface button options.
The CAB601 is used where a button and LED are required for business/private functionality.
The CAB602 is used where Dallas I-Button functionality is required.
This second option allows flexibility as to whether the LED is used within the driver button or the
Dallas I-Button. A buzzer cable can also be added instead of the LED or in addition to the LED by
using cables CAB754 and CAB758 respectively.
Both options are a plug and play solution to give the maximum flexibility in delivering the user
functionality with the minimal of installation. Each driver interface button option has either a
single connector (CAB602) or a twin connector (CAB601) arrangement.
The wire colour pair of the button assembly is simply matched with its equivalent on the main
loom (CAB415) as shown in the pictures below.
NOTE
The driver interface button connectors are polarised and therefore should be aligned
correctly before inserting fully home to avoid damaging the internal contacts. They
should NOT be forced into place.
They can also be used in conjunction with other accessories such as the Dual Driver
LED, Buzzer and Dallas I-Button cables. Please refer to the specific section pertaining
to these accessories for further details.

Page 16
5.5.4 Dallas I-Button Installation (T10-Lite 9wire ONLY)
The T10-Lite 9wire is capable of using the Dallas i-Button technology to identify drivers. This
technology is a simple 2 wire interface (Signal and Ground). There are several suppliers of this
technology ranging from simple readers (Touch detection) to dwelled latched readers (physical
and magnetic) and some of these have built in LED indication to give visual feedback of detection
to the user. Trakm8 provide a plug and play reader for the simple touch detection of a driver so
that it can be plugged in directly to the main loom (CAB415). This reader can be used with the
driver Tag (TAG700). For other i-Button compatible products please contact Trakm8 for further
information.
The wire colour pair of the button assembly is simply matched with its equivalent on the main
loom (CAB415) as shown in the pictures below.
NOTE
If you are using the Dallas reader in tandem with the Dual driver LED then there is no
requirement to connect the Molex plug with the black and white wires as the LED’s on the Dual
driver LED accessory will be connected instead of the one in the Dallas reader cable or vice versa
depending on preference. If you wish to connect both LED’s in tandem then please use accessory
cable (CAB758) for this purpose.

5.5.5 Inputs Installation (T10-Lite 9wire ONLY)
The T10-Lite 9wire product has a single Input (Pin 9) and it is of a digital type.
It is not configurable and it is NOT capable of processing analogue signals.
It is ONLY available in the 70-30 hardware code range and the CAN twisted pair of wires take on
NEW functionality (See Can section).
Digital Input Specification
The Input (Blue/White tracer) is capable of monitoring automotive signals in the signal range
from -30v to +30v. The input is deemed to have “GONE HIGH” when the voltage is greater
than 6v and “GONE LOW” when the voltage is less than 6v (including the open circuit state see
below).
Therefore the connection of the input wire into a vehicle circuit varies depending on the voltage
of the circuit being monitored and the direction of state change you are wishing to detect.
In the open circuit state the T10-Lite input is in the low state and therefore careful consideration
must be given when wiring up the input to ensure the change of state produces the required
trigger you are after especially if you want to detect both the “GOES HIGH” and “GOES LOW”
state change.
Below are some examples of monitoring circuit state changes.
Signal Transition from 0V to +12v/+24v
If the input monitoring is a signal or switch circuit that is producing the actual voltage transition
then the input wire can be connected directly to the circuit and it should be possible to detect
both state transitions.
Signal Transition from open circuit to +12v/+24v
If the input monitoring requires the detection of a switch closing to supply (+12v/+24v) then the
input is simply wired to the normally open side the switch.
Signal Transition from >6v to +12v/+24v
If the input monitoring requires the detection of a voltage change that does not transition below
6v then a potential divider is required to drop the lower voltage state into the triggering region.
To keep the current drain to a minimum then the combined resistance value should be greater
than 10K to keep the current below 1mA.
Signal Transition from open circuit to 0V
If the input monitoring requires the detection of both state transitions of a switch switching from
open circuit to ground, then a pull up resistor is required to generate the “GOES HIGH” state
when the switch becomes open circuit. Again the resistor value should be greater than 10K to
keep the current drain to a minimum when the circuit is closed.

5.5.6 Output Installation (T10-Lite 9wire ONLY)
The T10-Lite 9wire product has a single dedicated output.
This output (0) can be controlled automatically via driver authorisation protocol and therefore can
be used as security immobilisation devices. (See example in the Immobiliser section). If the
immobilisation function is NOT required then both of the outputs can either be controlled directly
via command or automatically by EVENT triggers within the I/O control module.
Output Specification
The T10-Lite 9wire output incorporates an automotive grade open collector FET devices driving
the output to ground when active. It is capable of sinking up to 500mA and is therefore suitable
for driving lamps, buzzers and relays as required.
5.5.7 Immobiliser Feature (T10-Lite 9wire ONLY)
Important Notes!
1. Unless local law permits the T10-Lite Immobiliser MUST NOT be connected in such a way
that it would be possible to disable the vehicle whilst it is under way. The immobiliser must
be wired in such a way that it is only breaking a cranking circuit of the vehicle. Careful
consideration must be observed when choosing this circuit as modern vehicles usually have
these types of circuit monitored by the ECU of the vehicle. This could lead to a malfunction of
the vehicle’s own monitoring system and may invalidate the manufacturer’s warranty if the
correct circuit is not chosen. (If in doubt then please contact the vehicle manufacturer for
advice).
2. Should all power (main power and battery backup if fitted) be removed from the T10-Lite
then the T10-Lite Immobiliser will default to a “FAIL ON” condition such that the vehicle
can still be started.

5.5.8 CAN Installation – Vehicle (T10-Micro v4, T10-Lite 5wire & 9wire)
The CAN (vehicle) protocols supported are as follows:
1. EOBDII (via J1962) (Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles)(CAN Micro’s & 9 wire 70-35A).
2. K-Line (CAN Micro’s & 9 wire – 70-30A hardware).
3. ISO 9041 (CAN Micro’s & 9 wire – 70-30A hardware).
Cars and Light Commercial Vehicles
All petrol engine vehicles manufactured since 2000 should be EOBD compliant.
Some manufacturers began incorporating On-Board Diagnostic systems as early as 1994,
however not all are 100% compliant. All diesel engine vehicles are expected to have support
from 2004.
There are currently 5 CAN communication protocols of which 3 are currently supported by the
T10 range of CAN compatible products. The 5 communication protocols are as follows:
• ISO 9141.
• Keyword 2000 (K-Line) (originally a European protocol).
• J1850 PWM (pulse width modulated) protocol used by Ford.
• J1850 VPW (variable pulse width modulated) used by General Motors in USA.
• CAN (Controller Area Network) European Standard.
It is the 1
st (
ISO 9141) 2nd (K-Line)(T10-Micro v4) and 5th format (“CAN 11/29 bit
addressing”) that is currently supported by the T10-Micro and T10-Lite.
If you are in doubt of the format available on your vehicle then it is advisable to seek
professional advice before connecting.
1. You can use a CAN diagnostics meter to interrogate CAN format and there are
various types available in the market place. If you require further information on one
of these devices then please contact Trakm8 sales.
2. It is normally possible to tell which protocol is in use on a specific vehicle by
examining the diagnostic socket of the vehicle. (J1962 connector as shown below)
This is usually found within the driver or passenger compartment of the vehicle as the connector
by design has to be easily located by the service engineer when the vehicle goes in for service.
• If the J1962 diagnostic socket has a pin in the 7th & 15th position, then the
vehicle uses either the ISO 9141 or Keyword 2000 protocol. Connect the wire
in the 7th or 15th position to the
• If the J1962 diagnostic socket has a pin in the 2nd & 10th position, then the
vehicle uses one of the SAE J1850 protocols.
• If the J1962 diagnostic socket has a pin in the 6th & 14th position, then the
vehicle is likely to use the CAN protocol. Connect the wire in the 6th position
(CANH) to the Green/white stripe wire and the wire in the 14th position
(CANL) to the Blue/white stripe wire in the T10 wiring loom.

NOTE
IF the J1962 connector does NOT have an open center slot in the middle of the
connector then it is NOT 12v Compatible. When the center slot of the
connector contains an obstruction this is indicative of the system being 24v
operation and the obstruction is designed to prevent 12v systems from being
connected to 24v.
NOTE
For cars and light commercial vehicles, there is an additional CAN Adaptor T-Piece (CAB782)
available.
The CAN Adaptor T-Piece (CAB782) provide a non-intrusive method of connecting to the J1962
socket (where possible). It has a separate J1962 Socket which replaces the vehicles own socket,
allowing a diagnostic tool to be connected without having to disconnect the T-Piece.
If using the T-Piece, the replacement J1962 socket may not fit back into the original socket
location on the vehicle, for this situation a mounting bracket is also supplied. This can be fixed to
the original location or screwed down securely using suitable mounting hardware to keep it in
place.
It is important to note that the T-piece is not compatible with all vehicle types due to the fact
that some manufactures use J1962 sockets that are molded to a bracket or even part of the ECU
itself. Under these circumstances a direct connection is your only option.
The wiring details are shown below:
EOBD (5wire (70-15A-XXXXA/70-20A-XXXXA) and 9wire (70-35A-XXXXA) models
J1962 connector Pin 6 = CAN High to the Green/White tracer (Pin 8).
J1962 connector Pin 14 = CAN Low to the Blue/White tracer (Pin 9).
K-LINE (9wire PTO model (70-30A-XXXXA) ONLY)
J1962 connector Pin 7 = K-Line to the Green/White tracer (Pin 8).
Testing
Once installed, the equipment should be tested to ensure that it is operating satisfactorily and
that the positions of the installed items do not impair the driver’s ability to control and operate
the vehicle in any way. Follow the vendor specific commissioning procedure to ensure that your
T10 is communicating data to the host server.
The T10 ranges of products ALL have a single RED LED to give visual indication to the fitter/user.
These visual indications are as follows:
LED Indication
Meaning
SOLID (On permanently)
The unit is carrying out a communication session with the
configuration server to check for any upgrades. If this persists
for several minutes then this usually is an indication that a
configuration/firmware upgrade is in progress.
Fast Flashing
The unit is in the initialising phase and has not yet
communicated with the server and/or not yet acquired a GPS fix.
Trilling and Flashing and
Pulsing
The unit has communicated with the server and acquired a 3D
GPS fix and is ready for journey operation. The LED during
periods of awake will indicate GSM/GPRS/GPS and CAN status as
described in engineering screen 1.
The flashing sequences will also be dependent on whether the
vehicle is in a journey and also whether it is a CAN installation.
(See Engineering mode).
Fast Blip every 20 secs
The unit is asleep and conserving power.
