Installation Instructions Tractor Interface Module Getting Started The Tractor Interface Module (TIM) is an intuitive device that interfaces between the PeopleNET on board computer and the BatRF wireless TPMS sensors. It wirelessly receives the tire pressure information transmitted from the BatRF Airbat TPMS sensors to provide alerts to the driver on the PeopleNET display and to remote personnel via email or SMS text messages.
Installing the TIM 1. Locate the PeopleNET g3 onboard computer (OBC). TIP – Typical mounting locations for the g3 OBC are: a. Behind or under the passenger seat b. Behind or under the driver’s seat c. For sleeper cabs, in the storage area under the bed accessible from the outside of the truck, or in the closet near the bed. 2. Select a mounting location for the TIM.
4. 821-7000- RS232 Cable ONLY Install the RS232 cable between the TIM and the g3 OBC. Both power and serial communications are run through this cable (eliminates the need for a separate power cable). 4a. Plug the 9 pin D end of the cable to the TIM and tighten the thumb screws. 4b. Connect the 6 pin round DIN connector to the BLACK insulated 6 pin DIN connector that comes out of the breakout connector of the PeopleNET OBC and tighten the locking thumb nuts together by hand.
