1.0 Introduction

This document provides guidance on the installation of Transcan
temperature and data recorders supplied by Seven Telematics.
Installations should be carried out in accordance with these
recommendations as otherwise Seven Telematics may refuse to accept
any subsequent warranty claim.

1.1 Installation overview

Transcan recorders are normally supplied with an installation kit
which includes most of the components used for an installation.
The procedure for installing a Transcan recorder involves mounting
the recorder, the sensors and, if required, a Junction Box and then
providing suitable connections between these components. These
are shown in Figure 1.1 below which represents an in-cab installation
using a junction box.

The principal steps involved in completing an installation are as
follows. For further details about any step refer to the section of this
document which is indicated in brackets.
• Choose suitable locations for the temperature sensors and status
switches (2.1, 2.2)
• Choose a suitable mounting position for the recorder (3.1, 3.2, 3.3)
• Identify a suitable power supply point (2.3)
• Choose a suitable location for the Junction Box, if required (2.4)
• Install the Junction Box, if used, and route the connecting cable to
the recorder
• Mounting location (2.4)
• Install protective covering for the sensor wiring and install the
sensors (2.1, 2.2)
• Install and connect the recorder (3)
• Check the installation (4)
• Commission the recorder (5)
Any holes drilled in the insulated body panels must be sealed using
a good quality silicone sealant to prevent water ingress. Sensor and
status switch wiring should be suitably protected.

1.2 Transcan Temperature Recorders

The Transcan Advance is available in 3 formats: R, T and C (for in-cab
installation on a vertical bulkhead).

1.3 Temperature Sensors

Transcan Advance temperature and data recorders use thermistor
sensors for temperature measurement. The recorders are designed to
operate only with sensors supplied by Seven Telematics

1.4 Status Monitoring

Status inputs (On/Off switch inputs) may be used to monitor e.g.:
door and defrost operations. The recorder configuration parameters
may be set to accommodate either normal (closed contact) or reverse
(open contact) acting switches (see the User Reference Manual for
further details).
