1 REGULATORY INFORMATION

1.1 HUMAN EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE STATEMENT

Pursuant to 47 CFR § 24.52 of the FCC Rules and Regulations, personal communications

services (PCS) equipment is subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements

specified in § 1.1307(b), § 2.1091 and § 2.1093, as appropriate.

CalAmp certifies that it has determined that the TTU-28x0™ complies with the RF hazard

requirements applicable to broadband PCS equipment operating under the authority of 47 CFR

Part 24, Subpart E of the FCC Rules and Regulations. This determination is dependent upon

installation, operation and use of the equipment in accordance with all instructions provided.

The TTU-28x0 is designed for and intended to be used in fixed and mobile applications. “Fixed”

means that the device is physically secured at one location and is not able to be easily moved to

another location. “Mobile” means that the device is designed to be used in other than fixed

locations and generally in such a way that a separation distance of at least 20 cm is normally

maintained between the transmitter’s antenna and the body of the user or nearby persons. The

TTU-28x0 is not designed for or intended to be used in portable applications (within 20 cm of

the body of the user) and such uses are strictly prohibited.

To ensure that the TTU-28x0 complies with current FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF

output power and human exposure to radio frequency radiation, a separation distance of at least

20 cm must be maintained between the unit’s antenna and the body of the user and any nearby

persons at all times and in all applications and uses. Additionally, in mobile applications,

maximum antenna gain must not exceed 3 dBi.

1.2 HARDWARE PRECAUTIONS

Electrical Over-Stress (EOS)

The TTU-28x0 GPS receiver can be damaged if exposed to an RF level that exceeds its

maximum input rating. Such exposure can happen if a nearby source transmits an RF

signal at sufficiently high level to cause damage.

Storage and Shipping

One potential source of EOS is proximity of one TTU-28x0 GPS Antenna to another TTU-28x0

GSM Antenna. Should one of the units be in a transmit mode, the potential exists for the other

unit to become damaged. Therefore, keep any TTU-28x0 unit at least four inches apart from any

active unit or any other active high power RF transmitter with power greater than 1 Watt.


Page 2 MBUD-0261v3

1.3 TTU-28X0 HANDLING PRECAUTIONS

Electrostatic Discharge (ESD)

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between

two objects at different electrical potentials caused by direct contact or induced by an

electrostatic field. The term is usually used in the electronics and other industries to describe

momentary unwanted currents that may cause damage to electronic equipment.

ESD Handling Precautions

ESD prevention is based on establishing an Electrostatic Protective Area (EPA). The EPA can

be a small working station or a large manufacturing area. The main principle of an EPA is that

there are no highly charging materials in the vicinity of ESD sensitive electronics, all conductive

materials are grounded, workers are grounded, and charge build-up on ESD sensitive

electronics is prevented. International standards are used to define typical EPA and can be

obtained for example from International Electro-technical Commission (IEC) or American

National Standards Institute (ANSI).

This ESD classification of the sub assembly will be defined for the most sensitive component,

therefore the following classifications apply:

Class 1B – Human Model (< 1 kV)

Class M1 – Machine Model (< 100V)

When handling the TTU-28x0’s main-board (i.e. sub assembly) by itself or in a partial housing

proper ESD precautions should be taken. The handler should be in an ESD safe area and be

properly grounded.

3.1 ENVIRONMENTAL SPECIFICATIONS

The TTU-28x0 is designed to operate in environments typically encountered by fleet vehicles

and assets, including wide temperature extremes, voltage transients and potential interference

from other vehicle equipment.

To ensure proper operation in such an environment, the TTU-28x0 was subjected to standard

tests defined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE). The specific tests included

temperature, shock, vibration and EMI/EMC. These tests were performed by independent labs

and documented in a detailed test report. In accordance with Appendix A of SAE J1113 Part 1,

the Unit is considered a “Functional Status Class B, Performance Region II” system that

requires Threat Level 3 Testing.

The following shows the environmental conditions the TTU-28x0 is designed to operate in and

3.1.2 TTU-2830 SPECIFICATIONS

For the TTU-2830 Specifications please see:

http://www.calamp.com/system/files/resources/hardware-spec-

sheets/calampttu2830datasheet.pdf

3.2 PRIMARY CONNECTOR

The TTU-28x0 uses 12 22AWG leads for its power and I/O connections. These leads are

mapped as follows.

The device has a default high bias for Input 2 (Orange). This provides power on the Orange

wire, so a short to ground will produce a positive signal on the input in FleetOutlook. This makes

it easier to wire to switches and sensors that do not have a power source of their own. Input 1

(Blue) has a default bias low, meaning a voltage must be applied to indicate a positive input in

FleetOutlook.

Wire Signal Name Description Color Usage Defaults

1 GND Ground Black Required

2 VCC Primary Power Red Required

3 IN-0 Input 0 – Ignition White Required for ignition

sensing applications

4 IN-1 Input 1 Blue Optional Biased LOW

MBUD-0261v3 Page 9

3.4 IGNITION INPUTS

The TTU-28x0 provides up to two external inputs and one ignition input.

The external inputs are protected from typical vehicle transients and can be directly connected

to most vehicle level logical inputs from 4 volts up to the vehicle power input level (typically 12

VDC). Their input impedance is approximately 10kΩ. The two inputs may be used to sense

vehicle inputs such as cooling unit operation, a hidden driver “Panic” switch, taxi on-duty/off-

duty meter status or many others.

The ignition input is pulled to ground through the 10k resistance, where the other inputs can

either be normally High (i.e. pulled to +12v through a 10kΩ resistor) or Low (i.e. pulled to ground

through a 10kΩ resistor). The diagrams below show how to connect the inputs in both a high

and low-biased configuration.

MBUD-0261v3 Page 11

4 PRE-INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS

Installation can have a major impact on the TTU-28x0’s performance. It is recommended that

installers be familiar with the installation of GPS and cellular devices and are comfortable in a

vehicle environment. The best way to ensure a trouble-free installation is to consider your

options and make appropriate decisions before you start.

Be advised that an installation that violates the TTU-28x0’s environmental specifications

will void the warranty.

Prior to beginning the installation process, verify that you have all the required TTU-28x0

components for installation:

The TTU-28x0 device

Mounting hardware (provided with the device)

Fuses (provided with the device)

4.1 VERIFY POWER, GROUND AND IGNITION

Check each source (power, ground and ignition) to ensure that the proper signaling exists. This

is typically accomplished with a multi-meter.

4.2 SIZE AND PLACEMENT OF TTU-28X0

When planning device installation, take into account the TTU-28x0 dimensions.

Refer to Section 3.1: Environmental Specifications for the exact measurements and

specifications of the TTU-28x0.

Verify that the TTU-28x0 fits in selected location before drilling any holes or running cable.

TTU-28x0 with DC Connector adapter should always be placed with exposure to windows.

Never place the device on the driver side floor.

Ensure that the cable running to the TTU-28x0 will not be bent or constricted. Damage to

the cable may impede the TTU-28x0’s performance. Wrap cable in protective plastic

shielding if necessary.

Verify that the installation point does not violate any of the TTU-28x0’s environmental

specifications. Improper installation of the TTU-28x0 may void the warranty.


Page 12 MBUD-0261v3

4.3 VISIBILITY OF DIAGNOSTIC LEDS

The TTU-28x0’s status LED lights provide valuable information about the device performance

and operation. When feasible, attempt to install the TTU-28x0 in such a way that the lights are

visible with reasonable ease. If you observe poor performance, you may need to read the LEDs

to troubleshoot the issue. If you cannot resolve the issue, you will need to provide the LED

information to the CalAmp Customer Support Team.

Refer to Section 5.4.1: Status LEDs for detailed information on the light patterns and

corresponding status.

4.4 PROTECTION FROM HEAT

We recommend that you do not place the TTU-28x0 in an unusually warm location, such as

directly near heater vents or hot engine components.

Refer to Section 3.1: Environmental Specifications for the maximum temperature tolerated

by the TTU-28x0.


MBUD-0261v3 Page 13

5 TTU-28X0 INSTALLATION

Installing the TTU-28x0 is not difficult, but you must consider the variables involved, such as the

vehicle type and location of existing equipment. Installation time can vary depending upon the

installer’s experience and the vehicle design. The average time for installation is approximately

45 minutes. A single individual can perform most installation operations.

5.1 SELECT THE LOCATION

When determining mounting location, the primary consideration is GPS satellite visibility. The

required installation orientation of the TTU-28x0 is label side down. Plan to route the wires to

minimize exposure to damage. If wires are exposed, wrap them with plastic protective cable

wrap common to automotive applications. All wiring must be secured and tied down to complete

the installation.

Note: When performing installation tasks requiring the operation of power, follow recommended

safety procedures, including use of safety eye-wear. In addition, avoid drilling through wires,

mounted fixtures or equipment.

1. Record the Electronic Serial Number (ESN) located on the device label and Asset ID.

You will need both numbers to assign the TTU-28x0 to the Asset in FleetOutlook.

2. Select a device mounting location on the asset, and then place the mounting flanges against the asset.

3. Using the device mounting flanges as a template, mark the location for each of the two (2) mounting screws on the asset.

4. At each marked location, drill a hole.

5. Install the two (2) mounting screws through the mounting flanges, and then tighten the screws to secure device installation.

End of Mounting Installation.


Page 14 MBUD-0261v3

5.2 INSTALL THE POWER CONNECTIONS

The TTU-28x0 power leads with in line fuses are supplied as part of the wiring harness. Install

the power connections in the exact order outlined below. Failure to connect these lines in the

outlined order may result in discharge of the vehicle battery.

Use care to prevent accidentally shorting any connections. Power Connections should meet

aftermarket electronics industry installation practices. All power connections must be made

using manufacturer approved methods for adding accessories to vehicles.

5.2.1 PLUG-IN INSTALLATIONS

The TTU28x0 with adapter cable plugs directly into the vehicle’s DC Connector. The device has

a 30-60 day battery backup that will report location events while unplugged. The supplied

rubber pad must be used for dashboard mounting. Alternative locations include the vehicle’s

glove compartment or on the passenger side floor where it can be best exposed to the windows.

Avoid installing the TTU-28x0 under the seats of a vehicle and never on the driver side floor.

Figure 4: Plug-in TTU-28x0 Installation


MBUD-0261v3 Page 15

5.2.2 VEHICLE INSTALLATIONS

The constant power input (red wire) must be connected to a +12 VDC or +24 VDC supply,

preferably, connected directly to the vehicle battery terminal or as close to it as possible. Verify

that you are not connecting to a low voltage wire (+6 volt); device will not function properly. The

connection point must be protected with the supplied FH-18C fuse and insulated with electrical

tape.

The ignition power input (white wire) must be connected to the vehicle ignition or appropriate

key operated line, such as accessory, ensuring that power to the ignition power input is

available only when the vehicle ignition is on.

The ground line (black wire) must be connected to chassis ground.

5.2.3 HEAVY CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT INSTALLATIONS

Connect the constant power input (red wire) to a +12 or +24 volt line that will not drain the

vehicle/equipment battery when the equipment is in storage. Often there is a power disconnect

mechanism on the equipment to prevent battery drain when not in use. If this is the case,

connect to power lines that are outside of the battery lockout mechanism. Failure to do this can

result in vehicle battery depletion if the vehicle is not in use for long periods.

Ignition power input (white wire): For vehicles with a key switch ignition, wire the same as on an

automobile, with the wire tied to the ignition-on position (not ACC). If an automotive style ignition

key does not exist, locate an alternative wire that provides power only when the engine is

running. If there is not an ignition-on wire, it is acceptable to install pressure switches, proximity

switches and other accessories to act as a proxy for the ignition-on condition. Only qualified

installers/mechanics should attempt these procedures.


Page 16 MBUD-0261v3

5.2.4 TRAILER INSTALLATIONS

The following instructions address trailer installations and are applicable to other types of non-motorized equipment. Reporting motion when in use; theft monitor when

unplugged:

1. Locate the power input line from the connector used to

attach trailer to the tractor/truck. Typically, the center

pin will be switched 12v power.

It is acceptable to wire the TTU-28x0 in parallel with

other equipment on the trailer (e.g., lights, lamps, etc.)

because an internal diode will prevent the battery from

draining through the auxiliary equipment while not in

use.

Use a 6-Way connector for the basic lighting functions

(e.g., power, turn and brake). The ground and two extra

pins are available to provide two additional functions. The round connectors are common on

horse trailers and square connectors are commonly used

with campers.

In addition to the basic lighting functions, the 7-way connectors have additional pins for electric

brakes, a 12 volt "hot" lead and backup lights. The flat pin connector is common on newer trucks

and SUVs.

Refer to https://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx for more information on trailer connector

wiring.

2. Combine both the red power wire and the white ignition wire to the trailer’s 12v battery

power wire. Follow instructions: Section 5.2.4: General Wiring Instructions, if splicing into a

harness.

The ground line (black wire) must be connected to chassis ground and secured with a factory

bolt or screw insuring wire to metal connection.

https://www.etrailer.com/faq-wiring.aspx


MBUD-0261v3 Page 17

5.2.5 GENERAL WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

The TTU-28x0 wiring harness has 3 wires for installing to an ignition source: 12 Volts

continuous, 12 Volts ignition switched, and ground.

Apply dielectric grease to any connections made that will be subjected to moisture or water.

All power connections must be insulated with electrical tape.

Use care to prevent accidentally shorting any connections. Power Connections should meet aftermarket electronics industry installation practices.

Power connections, both Constant and Ignition, must be fused using the supplied in line 3A fuses and holders.

All power connections must be made using manufacturer approved methods for adding accessories to vehicles.

GPS Fix Solid


MBUD-0261v3 Page 23

5.4.2 COMMUNICATION VERIFICATION

Installers should verify that the device has acquired a cellular signal and has registered to the

wireless network before completing installation. If the Comm LED is solid then the device has

registered to the network and established a data session. Acquiring the wireless network and

establishing communication can take several minutes.

5.4.3 GPS VERIFICATION

Next, verify that the GPS receiver has obtained a valid GPS position. If the green LED is solid,

then the device has acquired GPS service.

5.4.4 INBOUND VERIFICATION

Lastly, verify is that the device is sending data to the correct server. This is a two-step process

and requires a user to be logged in FleetOutlook. First, force the device to send in an Ignition

On event by starting the asset’s engine. Second, open the breadcrumb detail for the

corresponding asset in FleetOutlook. If the device is reporting properly, you should see an

Ignition On event on the Tracking | Breadcrumb Detail tab.

6 LICENSE AGREEMENT

FOR SOFTWARE, APPLICATION PROGRAMING INTERFACES (APIs) & DOCUMENTATION

IMPORTANT: DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE OR DOCUMENTATION UNTIL

YOU HAVE READ AND AGREED TO THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT.

This is a legal agreement between you, the Customer, and CalAmp DataCom Incorporated

(“CalAmp”). By installing and/or using the software or documentation, you are consenting to the

terms of this License. If you do not agree to the terms of this non-exclusive License Agreement,

DO NOT INSTALL OR USE THE SOFTWARE, APIs OR DOCUMENTATION. For a full refund,

return the unused media package and all accompanying materials within seven (7) days to

CalAmp. Where there is no packaging or media, use of the software and/or documentation

constitutes acceptance.

Definitions: As used in this License Agreement, “Software” means CalAmp’s LM Direct ™, LMU

Manager™, LapTop Locator™, LMU Application/Programmable Event Generator™, CDMA

LMU Provisioning Tool, GPRS LMU Provisioning Tool, iDEN™ Provisioning Tool, LMU Status,

Clone Config, Hex Dump, LM Exchange™ Traffic Monitor, Freewave Base Station Config,

Remote Serial Port, App Watcher Service and/or other software products licensed by CalAmp

for use in computer applications development or integration including the computer programs,

libraries and related materials either contained on the media provided to you by or from

CalAmp, or which you have received or downloaded electronically. “Application” means a

compiled or executable software program created by Developer that uses some or all of the

functionality of the Software. “Software Copies” means the actual copies of all or any portion of

the Software including backups, updates, merged or partial copies permitted hereunder or

subsequently licensed to you. “Documentation” means the non-Software information contained

on the media provided with this package or downloaded and which is used with and describes

the operation and use of the Software. “Documentation Copies” means the actual copies of all

or any portion of the Documentation including backups, updates, merged or partial copies

permitted hereunder or subsequently provided to you. “Related Materials” means all other

materials and whatever is provided by or from CalAmp, and the non-Software and non-

Documentation contained on the media supplied, downloaded, or otherwise supplied by or from

CalAmp for use with the Software and Documentation. “Server” means a single, networked

computer that is accessible to other client machines on the network. “User” means (i) a single

person using an Application for his/her internal, use or (ii) a single terminal or a single

workstation of a computer used only by a person (and not accessed otherwise) for accessing an

Application. “Use License” means limited rights granted by CalAmp for deployment of a single

Application to a User. “Developer” means a single programmer developing an Application.

“Developer License” means the grant of certain limited rights to use and maintain the Software,

Software Copies, Documentation, Documentation Copies and Related Materials in development

of Applications.

Background: A Developer License is required for each Developer who uses the Software in

building Application(s). A Use License is required and must be purchased by Customer for each

User to which Customer provides access to an Application (unless a Server or Site license for


Page 26 MBUD-0261v3

unlimited or a specified number of users has been purchased). Each Use License is specific to

one client-side Application only and may not be used for any other client-side Application. Each

Server license is limited to Server-based Applications deployed on that Server for which the

license has been purchased as specified in a CalAmp License Certificate. The Software is

licensed on a per Developer, and on a per User, per Application basis. In order to preserve and

protect its rights under applicable law, CalAmp is not selling you ownership rights to Software or

Documentation (owned by or licensed to CalAmp). CalAmp specifically retains title to all

CalAmp Software, Documentation and Related Materials and CalAmp licensors retain title to

items owned by them.

Duration: This License Agreement is effective from the day you install or start using the

Software, or receive or download it electronically, and continues until terminated. If you fail to

comply with any provision of the License, termination is automatic, without notice from CalAmp

and without the necessity for recourse to any judicial authority. Upon termination, you must

destroy the Related Materials, the Software, Documentation and all Software and

Documentation copies. CalAmp can also enforce its other legal and equitable rights.

Developer License Only—Uses Permitted: Software and Documentation may be used for the

sole purpose of developing Applications and only by a licensed Developer. Software and

Documentation may be installed onto a hard disk drive or a Server, access to which is restricted

to Developers for which a Developer License has been purchased and may also be stored or

installed on a storage device such as a network server, used only to install or access the

Software or Documentation on your other computers over an internal network; however, you

must have acquired a license for each separate computer on which the Software or

Documentation is installed or accessed from the storage device. A Developer License may not

be shared or used concurrently on different computers. One backup copy may be made for

each legally obtained media copy or electronic copy you have received, provided that all

CalAmp and third party licensor information — including copyright notices — are maintained

and possession of the copy is retained in a secure location. In addition, you agree to use

reasonable efforts to protect the Software and Documentation from unauthorized use,

reproduction, distribution or publication. All rights not specifically granted in this License are

reserved by CalAmp.

Customer agrees to include the notice “Copyright © 1999 – 2009 CalAmp DataCom Inc., All

Rights Reserved” in Applications developed with the Software. Customer agrees to include the

following CalAmp Copyright and Government Restricted Use notice in all documentation and in

any Application on-line help or readme file.

“Portions of this computer program are owned by CalAmp DataCom Inc., Copyright © l999 –

2009, CalAmp DataCom Inc., All Rights Reserved. Use, duplication or disclosure by the

Government is subject to restrictions as set forth in subparagraph ©(1)(ii) of the Rights in

Technical Data and Computer Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 or subparagraphs ©(l)

and (2) of the Commercial Computer Software-Restricted Rights at 48 CFR 52.227-19, as

applicable. Manufacturer is CalAmp DataCom Inc., 1401 North Rice Ave. Oxnard, CA 93030.

portions of the Software.”

Developer(s) License—Uses Not Permitted: Unless Otherwise Agreed To In Writing with

CalAmp, You May Not (1) Make derivative works including but not limited to translations,

adaptations, arrangements or any other alteration (each of which would become the property of

CalAmp or its licensors, as applicable) or make copies of the Software or Documentation except

as permitted above; (2) Make copies of the Related Materials; (3) Use any CalAmp product to

translate the product of another licensor unless you have the legal right to do so; (4) Allow a

greater number of Developers to access the Software at any one time than the total number of

Developer licenses for which you have paid; (5) Rent, lease, sublicense or lend the Software,

Software Copies, Documentation, Documentation Copies, Related Materials or your rights

under this License or allow access to the Software for unlicensed users; (6) Alter, decompile

(except to the limited extent that decompilation by the licensed Developer only is necessary as

the only available way to achieve interoperability with other programs and, in that situation, any

resulting information cannot be used in developing, producing or marketing any software

substantially similar in expression to the Software), disassemble or reverse engineer the

Software; (7) Make any attempt to unlock or bypass any initialization system or encryption

techniques utilized by the Software or Documentation; (8) Alter, remove or obscure any

proprietary legend, copyright or trademark notice contained in or on Software, Documentation or

Related Materials; or (9) use the Software to create an Application intended solely to duplicate

functionality of an existing CalAmp end user software product.

Use Licenses: For each Server or Site License purchased, CalAmp grants the Customer the

right to distribute Applications on a single Server or at a single Site, as the case may be,

accessible to the number of individual users (not concurrent users) for which the Server or Site

License has been purchased as evidenced by a CalAmp License Certificate. For each Use

License purchased, as evidenced by a CalAmp License Certificate, CalAmp grants the

Customer the right to distribute a single Application to a single User. In no circumstance may

Customer distribute an Application under a site license or concurrent use license unless a

comparable license has been purchased for the Software as evidenced by a CalAmp License

Certificate. Customer agrees that distribution of an Application to a User will in all cases be

accompanied by a license agreement containing at a minimum terms and conditions

substantially similar to and at least as restrictive as the following:

The User may not (1) Make derivative works including but not limited to translations,

adaptations, arrangements or any other alteration of the Application or make copies of the

Application, except one backup copy may be made for each legally obtained copy of the

Application, provided that all CalAmp and third party licensor information — including copyright

notices — are maintained and possession of the copy is retained in a secure location; (2) Allow

access to the Application for unlicensed users; (3) Rent, lease, sublicense or lend the

Application or its rights under the license; (4) Alter, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer

the Application; (5) Make any attempt to unlock or bypass any initialization system or encryption


Page 28 MBUD-0261v3

technique utilized by the Application; or (6) Alter, remove or obscure any proprietary legend,

copyright or trademark notice contained in or on the Application.

The User agrees to use reasonable efforts to protect the Application from unauthorized use,

reproduction, distribution or publication.

Audit: Customer shall keep records of all transactions involving Software for five (5) years after

the transaction. CalAmp shall have the right upon written notice to audit Customer’s records to

verify compliance with this License including the number of Use Licenses granted by Customer.

Audit may take place at Customer’s place or business during normal working hours. In the event

that there is a discrepancy in excess of five percent (5%) between the number of Use Licenses

granted and the number paid for, Customer shall pay all costs related to performing the audit in

addition to remitting payment for those licenses granted in excess of those paid for as

evidenced by a CalAmp License Certificate.

General: This Agreement represents our entire understanding and agreement regarding the

Software, Software Copies, Documentation, Documentation Copies and Related Materials and

supersedes any prior purchase order, communication, advertising or representation and may

only be modified in a written amendment signed by an authorized CalAmp representative or by

a specific prior or subsequent written agreement between the parties. If any provision of this

Agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, that provision shall be

deemed severable from, and shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of, the remaining

provisions.
