3 Preface

Failure to comply with the following Warnings, Approval and Safety information
may invalidate warranty, certification or type approval of this product.

1. WARNING!

Current FCC and regulations limit the EIRP of mobile devices to 2 W.
A 20 cm (7.87 inch) separation distance between the T10 unit and all persons must be
maintained at all times.

“To comply with Industry Canada RF radiation exposure limits for general population,
the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed such that a minimum
separation distance of 20cm is maintained between the radiator (antenna) and all
persons at all times and must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.”

2. Any attempt to make modifications not expressly approved by Trakm8 may invalidate the

warranty and the user’s authority to use the equipment.

3. Unauthorised modification to this equipment or associated accessories is forbidden without

the express permission and agreement from the product manufacturer.

4. This equipment should not be operated in hazardous environments i.e. areas that contain

explosive materials or flammable vapours.

5. This equipment should not be operated within aircraft or in close proximity to medical

equipment.

6. Internal components containing beryllium oxide may be used in this equipment. Dust from

this material is a health hazard if inhaled or allowed to come into contact with the skin. Great
care must be taken when handling these components.

7. This equipment is restricted to temperature ranges depending on the build spec of the

hardware:

a. -40C to +85C (if not fitted with Backup battery)
b. 0C to +45C (if fitted with backup battery)

The unit will still operate outside of these limits but the battery charging circuitry will
be inhibited to protect the battery.

3.1 Safety Information

Please adhere to the following Safety and Installation information at all times.
T10-Micro 2 Tier Supply Voltage: +6V minimum to +15V maximum.
T10-Micro 1/3 tier Supply Voltage: +6V minimum to +30V maximum.
T10-Lite Supply Voltage: +6V minimum to +30V maximum.
T10-Micro 1/2/3 Tier Current at: 12V/24V <= 500mA – fit a 2A inline fuse.
T10-Lite Current at: 12V/24V <= 500mA – fit a 2A inline fuse.
T10-Micro/T10-Lite Battery charging peak < 1 Amp at 12V.
T10-Micro/T10-Lite Battery charging peak < 1 Amp at 24V.

Note: Fuses should be placed in all power lines as close as possible to the vehicle supply source.
(Supply fuse: 2A, Ignition Fuse: 1A) These are supplied as an integral part of the T10 cable
range: (CAB400, CAB405, CAB410, and CAB415).

The currents indicated above are worst case scenario when the device is transmitting at peak
power and are typically a lot lower than shown.

NB Important - The telemetry unit’s power supply for the vehicle installation MUST utilise a
permanent power feed that is NOT subject to battery isolation ‘kill switch’ technology. If the

vehicle is fitted with battery isolation ‘kill switch’ technology, then the permanent power feed

MUST be taken directly from the vehicles battery terminals or the permanently powered terminal

T10 Installation Notes v1.7

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!

This equipment may only be located in a position where it cannot interfere with
the normal operation of the vehicle or present a hazard to the driver or
passengers. Care must also be taken in the routing of all cables so that the
insulation does not become worn or damaged.

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)
