TTU-2820 Hardware & Installation Guide TTU-2830™ Hardware and Installation Guide 1 Introduction Welcome to the TTU-2830™ Hardware and Installation Guide. This manual is intended to give you information on the basic setup and installation of the CalAmp TTU-2830™ product(s) including hardware descriptions, environmental specifications, wireless network overviews and device installation. 1.1 About This Manual The TTU-2830™ is one of the most flexible economy mobile tracking hardware products available.
1.2 About the Reader In order to limit the size and scope of this manual, the following assumptions have been made about the reader. • • You are familiar with GPS concepts and terminology You have some experience with installing equipment in vehicles 1.3 About the CalAmp Location Messaging Unit-TTU-2830™ The CalAmp Location and Messaging Unit-TTU-2830™ (TTU-2830™) is a mobile device that resides in private, commercial or government vehicles.
2.2.1 Wireless Data Network The Wireless Data Network provides the information bridge between the Actsoft servers and the TTU-2830™. Wireless data networks can take a variety of forms, such as cellular networks, satellite systems or local area networks. 2.2.3 Backend Software Backend software is provided by Actsoft. Regardless of its purpose, one of its primary functions is to parse and present data obtained from the TTU-2820.
Please properly dispose of the battery in any of the CalAmp products that utilize one, do not just throw used batteries, replaced batteries, or units containing a back-up battery into the trash. Consult your local waste management facility for proper disposal instructions. 3.1.

3.5.3 Ignition and Inputs The TTU-2830™ provides up to 3 external inputs. 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. One of these inputs is dedicated to sensing the vehicle’s ignition status to provide for flexible power management.
Sample Input Wiring 3.5.4 Status LEDs The TTU-2830™ is equipped with two Status LEDs, one for GPS and one for COMM (wireless network status).
4 Installing the LMU The installation of the LMU and its antennas can have a major impact on the LMU’s performance. It is recommended that installers be familiar with the installation of GPS and cellular devices and are comfortable in a vehicle environment. 4.1 Preparing for Installation Be sure you have received all the LMU components you need.
4.2.1 Size and Placement of LMU Unit The dimensions of the LMU should be taken into account, particularly when installing in a vehicle: Whether you intend to place the LMU under a seat or into a cavity behind the vehicle’s interior molded trim, be sure the LMU will fit before drilling any holes or running cable • • Be certain that the cables running to the LMU will not be bent or constricted. Damage to the cables may impede the LMU’s performance.
Examples OK(Yellow) and Poor(Red) internal antenna placements 4.2.3 Protection from Heat It is best not to place the LMU unit in an unusually warm location such as directly near heater vents, near hot engine components or in direct sunlight. The maximum temperature that can be tolerated by the LMU is described in the LMU Environmental Specifications section. 4.2.4 Visibility of Diagnostic LEDs Status LED lights on the front of the LMU unit can provide valuable information about the operation of the LMU.
4.2.6 Preventing Accidental or Unauthorized Modification If you anticipate that fleet drivers or others might interfere with the LMUs once they are installed, take steps to be sure that it is not easy to disconnect the antenna wiring, remove the LMU from its power source, etc. Two common methods are the use of Tamper Proof Sealant or creation of PEG Script to detect power loss or GPS antenna disconnections. 5.
commercial wiring practices to create a permanent installation rather than using press-in fuse clips or other temporary measures. DO NOT connect the power cable to the LMU at this time. 5.3 Installation Verification In many cases it is desirable to verify that an installed TTU-2830™ is working properly. That is, installers should verify that the GPS and communications functions of the TTU2830™ are working properly before departing the installation site.
