Prism TM450 Installation Guide for JBus 1708 and 1939

Teletrac Inc. 1634-0300 00 Page 1

Overview

The purpose of this document is to provide the installer with instructions on how to install the TM450. Adding TBT (CTO or MDT) and other accessories in conjunction with diagnostics is now possible; refer to the appropriate installation guide for reference.

This document focuses on the installation and deployment of the TM450 interfaced with JBUS. JBUS is commonly found in SEA approved Diesel trucks starting in 1998. The TM450 supports 1708 and 1939 with its internal decoder. There is no need of mechanical configuration to select one protocol over the other. The communication scheme must be documented in order to configure the TM450 over the air. The installer is able to switch the JBUS input using a laptop.

The installation of the system into the vehicle is the most important component of the system. It is very important to test the system and all its features at the end of the installation.

Differences between the TM450 and the TM2J

The TM450 and the TM2J are very similar in basic appearance and basic functionality. There are two main differences;

1) The TM450 has FAKRA connectors for the antenna. This makes perfect antenna connections very simple and more reliable –no more lose or too tight connectors-. The connector features a locking mechanism that guarantees perfect connection every time.

2) The on-board connectors are Micro Fit. This is a smaller pitch connector, it frees up

valuable board space inside the TM450. The actual interface into the TM450 connector is exactly the same. The DB9 (MDT port) and DB15 (JBUS PORT) is

backwards compatible. No tools are ever required.



Installation



Main Power Connections

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. The ignition connection should be made to a source of power other than the Accessory.

Alternate Power Input

In situations where the JBUS does not have power an alternate power input is supplied. Disconnect the 3 PIN connector, located behind the DB15 JBUS Input, and connect the External Power Harness (331-2022). While it is not very common, there will be trucks pre 2002 that only have Ignition power or simply no voltage at all.



Antenna

The antenna features different connectors. These are NOT compatible with previous RydeSmart transceivers. Switching to FAKRA connectors will improve reliability and eliminates the possibility of over tightening of breakage. Connecting and disconnecting is done without tools.

Antenna Placement

Glass Mounted Combo antennas should only be mounted on the passenger side, right edge of the windshield.

The Glass Mounted Combo antenna can only be used on vehicles with slanted windshields where the surface of the glass is angled at less than 60 degrees.

Do not use on vehicles with racks that overhang the windshield.

Approved Locations:

On the top of a flat roof with no obstructions

Attached to an approved extension to lift the antenna above obstructions (must still have a grounding plane).

Hidden Antenna Placement

In the Headliner

The trim in the area the antenna is to be installed needs to be removed and the headliner lowered to accommodate the hidden antenna.

Large side of antenna should face metal of vehicle.

Once the hidden antenna is in place do not raise the headliner in the event the antenna needs to be moved for maximum coverage.

Once the antenna is installed in the best location, affix a piece of double-sided tape to hold it in place.

Verify the location of the antenna will not create a bulge in the headliner.



In the Dashboard

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.

Testing the Installation

Verifying that the installation is fully operational is the single most important part of the installation.

Before you start the Installation Test, turn the ignition to the On position for 1 minute, and then turn it back to Off.

Step 1: Once all power and antenna connections are complete, make sure the Transceiver is working properly. The easiest way to do this is using an MDT 955.

Press <Control 1> to Display Radio Status, Confirm Registration and RSSI (>105)

Confirm that the IP number displayed matches the paperwork.

Step 2: Press <Control 2> in the MDT to confirm that:

The number of satellites acquired is greater than 5, and

The SNR is greater than 33.

Confirm that date and time are valid (the time reflected will be GMT -5 to -8 hours of your local time).

Step 3: MUST be completed for an installation to be completed!

There are 2 possible ways to complete Step 3:

Option 1- Use the eClient software - Log into the customer’s account in eClient on your laptop or another computer, and confirm that the IP you are working with is in the customer’s account and is assigned to a vehicle.

Once you have done this, perform a locate on the vehicle to confirm that the vehicle responds.



Option 2- Check the customer’s Detailed Report by logging into www.teletrac.net. Select the vehicle from the Vehicles selection and run a Detailed report. Verify that data is coming in from the unit.

For more information on using the Web Reporter see the eClient Training Guide or Help

Topics in eClient about “Creating Reports”.

**WARNINGS**

Installation is NOT complete unless all 3 of the above described steps are completed.

Testing with the MDT only is not acceptable.

Every repair or new installation must be tested following the three steps outlined

above to confirm proper operation.

Failure to complete all testing as described in this section (above) is considered a

serious offense and may result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
