error-free, safe operation.
TDC-E may only be installed, operated, used and maintained
by appropriately trained, authorized specialist personnel.
Specialist personnel are individuals who possess the
technical training, knowledge and experience necessary in
order to understand the tasks entrusted to them, evaluate
these and identify possible hazards.

Precautions:

-Do not expose the device to extreme temperature or humidity.
-Do not use or store the device in dusty or dirty areas.
-The antennas shouldn't come in contact with cables, metal
objects, insulation or brackets.
-Do not expose the device to water, rain, splashing water or
spilled drinks. It is not waterproof.

may damage the device.
-Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives
in the vehicle compartment where the device is installed.
-Before using the device in a vehicle that transports liquefied
petroleum gas (such as propane or butane) ensure that the
vehicle complies with valid fire and safety regulations of state
where the vehicle is used.
-In case of malfunction, contact the authorized service center.
CAUTION
To prevent the risk of electric shock, disconnect power supply
from TDC-E when opening the housing for SIM card
replacement/installation (if replacement/installation
needed). Other than that, TDC-E housing does not contain any

Installation and commissioning

Scope of delivery

The following components and accessories are supplied with
TDC-E:
• Connection cables:
- WireSet – TDC-E PWR power cable
• LTE antenna
• GPS antenna
• WLAN+WPAN antenna
• Quickstart document

Step 1: Mounting the TDC-E

Device can be mounted on any sufficiently stable support.
To do this, use the mounting holes on the housing of the
device.

(all dimensions in millimeters (inches))
Step 2: Connecting sensors to the TDC-E

Direct connection

is
Connect the sensor communication interface to the
appropriate connection terminal on the TDC-E device. Use the
cables provided with the sensor or additional extension cables
if needed.

Step 3: Installing the power supply

• The power supply (SELV limited, with exact voltage rating)
may only be installed by a qualified electrician.
• When working at electrical installations, it is essential to
comply with habitual safety requirements.
• If installing in vehicle or on battery, check operating
instructions for special installation requirements
To establish the power supply for TDC-E, use a suitable cable
(WireSet–TDC-E PWR or WireSet–TDC-E PWR+AIN/DIO) to
connect electrical supply to the device's PWR connector (see
Figure 2
).

Step 4: Configuring device

To configure device, access TDC-E Device Manager. TDC-E
Device Manager is a local website on device which is used for
Device Management.
To establish communication with TDC-E, connect TDC-E and
PC using ethernet cable. Make sure that PC is in the same
subnet as TDC-E.
Use any browser (recommended Google Chrome) to access
TDC-E Device Manager, by typing web address to browser's
address bar (example for GbE port0 (Eth0):
https://192.168.0.100).
Create initial user account to manage the device, users or
access your services.
For further information refer to the operating instructions.
