3 Recommended Installation Practices Review this installation manual to become familiar with all installation procedures and electrical wiring requirements prior to starting the installation. This installation guide has been prepared to provide you with details necessary to complete the TM470 installation. Use of proper tools and testing equipment is required. Never use a grounding style test light. Use only a Digital Multi Meter (DMM) to test wires in the vehicle. It is strongly recommended that one of the battery post cables is disconnected or battery disconnect switch is engaged prior to making electrical connections. The recommended method of electrical connections for the TM470 is Poke and Wrap. Poke and Wrap is described in detail later in this guide. It is critical to ensure that all electrical connections are properly insulated with quality electrical tape. Do not use butt connectors, crimp connectors or any other means to connect wires. Failing to ensure proper connections may result in warranty being voided and damage to the TM470 and/or the vehicle. Ensure that all wiring is protected from heat sources and sharp metal edges and is routed in such manner that it will not get damaged or pinched when vehicle components and trim are reinstalled. Run new wiring along factory harnesses and secure with quality cable zip-ties. Be sure to leave a service loop near the TM470, enough slack in the wiring to allow working room and strain relief. The TM470 is NOT waterproof, never mount the TM470 in the engine compartment. When mounting the TM470, determine best possible location under the dash and make sure that the TM470 will be securely attached using self-tapping screws or cable zip-ties. Do not force or jam the TM470 into tight places instead of mounting it. When mounting the TM470, do not obstruct any serviceable areas such as fuseboxes, etc. The TM470 and its wiring must be mounted away from any moving parts such as brake, gas, and clutch pedals and linkages. Follow all safety guidelines outlined in this guide, the applicable TM470 Installation Manual as well as those set forth by industry and government. 3

8 Pre-Installation Vehicle Inspection A complete inspection of the vehicle and its major components that could be effected by the installation on the GPS system should be inspected and documented. This should be done for the benefit of the customer as well as the installer. Failure to complete and document a vehicle inspection opens the installer up to damage claims that may not be related to the installation they have performed. Recommended inspection points should include but are not limited to Headlamps Turn signals Radio Dome light HVAC system Windshield wipers Dash warning lights (ABS, Check engine, Tire monitor, etc.) Vehicle interior (Headliner, seats, dash, etc.) Vehicle exterior (Obvious dents, scratches, and other damage) Start the vehicle The ability for the vehicle to be safely started and run is a requirement to complete the installation of the GPS system. If the vehicle cannot be safely started and run it is recommended the vehicle be rescheduled for installation so customer can get the current issue preventing it from starting corrected. If you find any issues with the vehicle during this inspection it is recommended that the installer stop the installation and contact the designated POC. It is recommended that they agree there is an existing issue with the vehicle and acknowledge this be signing installers installation paperwork. 8

10 TM470V6 VLU placement All equipment and wiring must be installed in a manner that will conceal its location. Installation must be in a dry location with minimal exposure to dust,moisture,heat and unnecessary vibration. It is always best to mount the unit to a flat surface; it should not be mounted on curves, dips or humps since this can degrade the security of the unit. Mount the unit to the chassis of the vehicle utilizing the mounting tabs. Always secure the unit with screws or zip-ties. Always check behind the place where any screws will penetrate to make sure you are not going to drill into a fuel or brake line, wiring harness, etc. Be careful when mounting touching an existing factory harness because vibration may cause an electrical short. Great care must be taken to prevent chaffing. Mount the unit so it will not cause any physical interference with the normal operation of movable equipment in the vehicle such as seats, pedals, hinges, air conditioning vents, etc. Never mount any component to vehicle air lines. Damage to the air lines will cause a catastrophic failure disabling the use of the vehicle. 10

11 TM470V6 VLU Placement Unapproved Locations Unapproved mounting locations: In a Truck bed In the Engine Compartment Exterior of the vehicle Any place with extreme heat such as exhaust systems or heater cores Away from any sources of RFI such as the vehicle computer and alarm Near the AM/FM radio or its antenna path Near a CB radio or its antenna path 11

12 Power Connections All connections must be either soldered (preferred) or poke and wrapped. Scotch-Loc, or T-Tap connections may not be used, if they are discovered during a QC inspection they will be corrected and installer will be billed for repairs. Use of supplied provided fuse holders is mandatory, their placement should be as close to the connection point in the vehicle as possible. These fuses are provided to protect the vehicle not the TM470. Identifying correct wires Remove any interior trim as necessary to gain access to the vehicles wiring as well as any areas where interconnecting wire harnesses may be located. Attach fuse holders to the Constant and Ignition wires of the TM470 power harness. It is always recommended the installer locate the constant and ignition wires at the ignition switch. (This is not a given acceptable location for connection. There may be extreme difficulties accessing the ignition switch wires, the wires may be low amperage control wires not acceptable to power the TM470. In these cases the installers experience and knowledge will allow connections in other appropriate locations.) Always use a multimeter in identifying the appropriate wires following the guidelines on the next page. 12

13 Power Connections continued Constant power connection The correct wire will have power regardless of key position. This connection should have power even if the key is removed from the ignition. The red wire from the TM470 will be connected here. Ignition power connection The correct wire will have power when the key is in the on/run position and also while the engine is cranking. It will not have power with the key off or removed. The pink wire from the TM470 will be connected here. Caution must be taken if the vehicle has a main battery disconnect switch, if equipped the constant (red wire) connection should be made on the battery side (hot at all times) unless the customer has advised they don t want this. 13

14 Poke & Wrap power connection method Strip Divide Poke The recommended method of connecting the wires is by soldering. As an alternative the connection can be made using the Poke & Wrap method. This is only appropriate when the connection is made inside the cab or an area that is completely weatherproof. Strip Using wire strippers remove approximately ¾ of insulation from the source wire. Also strip approximately 1 of insulation from the fused TM470 wire. Divide Using a tool with a point divide the source wires down the middle. Poke Insert the fused wires stripped portion through the middle. Twist Twist the fused wire around the source wire, 4-6 times is recommended. Lock Now bend the fused wire back onto the wrapped section. This helps ton act as a lock for this connection. Secure Apply high quality electrical tape to isolate your connection. You should also add a zip-tie over the connection to act as a tamper seal and makes sure the connection stays for the life of the installation. Twist Lock Secure 14

15 Ground Connection Locate a strong spot in the metal near the transceiver to connect the ground lead. A good mechanical connection of the ground lead is vital, since a bad connection may cause the transceiver to locate poorly and behave erratically. Scrape away any paint or coating on the metal where the ground will be attached, and then use a star washer between the metal and the ground terminal. Vehicles with aluminium and fibreglass bodies require special handling. Oxidation and electrolysis create problems with aluminium bodies, and fibreglass does not conduct current. In these cases, run the lead to the battery and connect it to the negative side. We recommend not using the existing factory wires attached to ground; this could cause interference or noise. It is noted that the TM470 performance will be seriously degraded. 15

16 Antenna Mounting The TM470 antenna is a dual antenna. The GPS antenna module and the GPRS Quad Band antenna are fitted inside the single wedge type enclosure. Antenna can be mounted either covertly or exposed. While the covert installation is recommended always verify with the POC this is what the want. Antenna should be placed as high as possible in the dash with a clear view out the windshield with no metallic obstructions. Antenna must be secured in place to assure it does not move and degrade signal. Test the antenna prior to putting everything back together because some dashboards are made with carbon composites that will deteriorate the signal strength. 16

17 Input/output Connections The TM470V6 has 2 inputs and 2 outputs for connection to the vehicle. Connections are only made if required in your work order. Installer should make connection using the input wire best associated with the function they are adding. If you are making a positive PTO connection the Orange wire would be utilized, a negative would use the Grey wire. The Blue output is designed as a negative input to drive an external relay. This wire should never be connected directly to anything other then a relay. Wire Color Function Description Orange Input Positive Positive input connection. Used for PTO, Seat belt, etc.. Grey Input Negative Negative input connection. Used for PTO, Seat belt, etc.. Blue Output 1 Output driver for relay. Use would be starter kill. Yellow Output 2 Output driver for relay. 17 PRESENTATION NOTE, IF NECESSARY

24 Power Connections JBus vehicles The system is designed to receive power and ground via the JBUS connector. Only the Ignition wire is to be connected to a source of power. Attach one end of fuse holder to the Ignition run source that will rest at ground while ignition is off (verify with suitable Multi-meter). Recommended locations are behind the ignition cylinder or behind fuse box. To test for ignition, use a multi-meter to find a wire that has +12volts while the engine is being cranked and turns off when the key is turned off. The power and diagnostics connections for the Mack and Volvo are special circumstances. Please reference those sections of this installation guide for the correct method on those vehicles. You will remove the factory Jbus connection and connect the Jbus Y adaptor to the factory connection 24

25 Power Connections JBus vehicles continued Some vehicles the JBus connector does not supply the required constant and ground needed for the TM470. In these cases the installer will be required to make an alternate power connections. All connections must either be soldered (preferred) or poke and wrapped.

The red wire from the TM470 will be connected here. Ignition power connection The correct wire will have power when the key is in the on/run position and also while the engine is cranking. It will not have power with the key off or removed. The pink wire from the TM470 will be connected here. Caution must be taken if the vehicle has a main battery disconnect switch, if equipped the constant (red wire) connection should be made on the battery side (hot at all times) unless the customer has advised they don t want this. 49

50 Poke & Wrap power connection method Strip Divide Poke The recommended method of connecting the wires is by soldering. As an alternative the connection can be made using the Poke & Wrap method. This is only appropriate when the connection is made inside the cab or an area that is completely weatherproof. Strip Using wire strippers remove approximately ¾ of insulation from the source wire. Also strip approximately 1 of insulation from the fused TM470 wire. Divide Using a tool with a point divide the source wires down the middle. Poke Insert the fused wires stripped portion through the middle. Twist Twist the fused wire around the source wire, 4-6 times is recommended. Lock Now bend the fused wire back onto the wrapped section. This helps ton act as a lock for this connection. Secure Apply high quality electrical tape to isolate your connection. You should also add a zip-tie over the connection to act as a tamper seal and makes sure the connection stays for the life of the installation. Twist Lock Secure 50

51 Ground Connection Locate a strong spot in the metal near the transceiver to connect the ground lead. A good mechanical connection of the ground lead is vital, since a bad connection may cause the transceiver to locate poorly and behave erratically. Scrape away any paint or coating on the metal where the ground will be attached, and then use a star washer between the metal and the ground terminal. Vehicles with aluminium and fibreglass bodies require special handling. Oxidation and electrolysis create problems with aluminium bodies, and fibreglass does not conduct current. In these cases, run the lead to the battery and connect it to the negative side. We recommend not using the existing factory wires attached to ground; this could cause interference or noise. It is noted that the TM470 performance will be seriously degraded. 51

52 Antenna Mounting The TM470 antenna is a dual antenna. The GPS antenna module and the GPRS Quad Band antenna are fitted inside the single wedge type enclosure. Antenna can be mounted either covertly or exposed. While the covert installation is recommended always verify with the POC this is what the want. Antenna should be placed as high as possible in the dash with a clear view out the windshield with no metallic obstructions. Antenna must be secured in place to assure it does not move and degrade signal. Test the antenna prior to putting everything back together because some dashboards are made with carbon composites that will deteriorate the signal strength. 52

53 FIL Light Installation The FIL light will be mounted in the dash panel near the Garmin or CTO driver interface screen. Installer should always get mounting location approved by customer POC before drilling the dash. FIL Light is mounted after drilling an 11/32 nd hole in dash, care must be taken to prevent drilling into any wiring or other components behind dash. Mounting the FIL light is a requirement for HOS standards, this is not an optional item and failure to install the light will mean the customer is not in compliance with DOT regulations. 53

54 Assembling the Garmin Ram Mount 1. Connect the Garmin power cable to the DB9 of the TM Take the magnetic holder and snap it onto the top of stand mounting ball. 3. Plug the Garmin power cable into the side of the magnetic holder. Do not attempt to plug the power cable directly into the Garmin display as they are not compatible. 4. The display will now attach to the mount magnetically. You will note the display will only attach in one orientation because of the magnetic mount. 54

55 Considerations for Garmin Mounting Location Always review the installation location of the display with the onsite customer contact, have agreed position signed off. Ensure mounting location does not obstruct the view of the road, mirrors or warning indicators. Take into consideration the location doesn t interfere with the deployment of airbags. The Ram mount uses 4 screws for secure it to the dash. Ensure there are no hoses or wires behind the dash prior to placing any screws into the dash. 55

56 Garmin TM470 Pairing Once you have assembled and connected the Garmin to the TM470 you will need to reboot the TM470 twice before the Garmin will connect. Power up the TM470 (give it about 1 minute) and connect the power cable into the back of Garmin, when the Garmin tries to connect it will time out and give you the click here to connect screen. Reboot the TM470, when you do this the Garmin will say power lost and it will reconnect once the TM470 powers back up registers. 56

57 Example Garmin mounting locations The following are examples of the Garmin mounted in full size trucks. These locations are not the only locations that the Garmin could be mounted but are locations recommended by Teletrac Navman. Always get customer POC approval on mounting location Peterbuilt 2007 Freightliner Columbia 2015 Mack 57

58 Input/output Connections The TM470V8 has 2 inputs and 1 output for connection to the vehicle. Connections are only made if required in your work order. Installer should make connection using the input wire best associated with the function they are adding. If you are making a positive PTO connection the Orange wire would be utilized, a negative would use the Grey wire. The Blue output is designed as a negative input to drive an external relay. This wire should never be connected directly to anything other then a relay. Wire Color Fuction Description Orange Input Positive Positive input connection. Used for PTO, Seat belt, etc.. Grey Input Negative Negative input connection. Used for PTO, Seat belt, etc.. Blue Output 1 Output driver for relay. Use would be starter kill. Yellow Output FIL Connection to FIL light 58
