    The TTU-12x0™ has a built in high temperature threshold of 60° C. If the internal temperature of the TTU is above this value, then the input will be in the High state. If the TTU’s temperature is below this value, then the input will be in the Low state. https://puls.calamp.com/wiki/TTU-12x0_Hardware_%26_Installation_Guide 10/36...

    Wireless, it requires that the user enter several menu choices in order to complete activation. Unfortunately, this is something the TTU-12x0™ does not support, so the activation must be performed manually. Bell Mobility will provide you with a password to gain access to the network (ex: 8889).

  • Page 22: Installing The Lmu

    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 https://puls.calamp.com/wiki/TTU-12x0_Hardware_%26_Installation_Guide 22/36...

    (i.e. thru-hole, magnetic mount or peel and stick) and requires a ground plane to work properly. If possible, it should be located at least 3 feet from the GPS antenna. Ensure that the cable does not get crushed during installation. Please note that the antennas provided by CalAmp combine both the GPS and Comm portions. GPS Antenna Placement Guidelines In order to maximize the performance of the LMU the GPS antenna should have a clear view of the sky.

    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. 5.2.5 Visibility of Diagnostic LEDs https://puls.calamp.com/wiki/TTU-12x0_Hardware_%26_Installation_Guide 24/36...

    Ensure that the cable is not crushed during installation or normal vehicle operation. Again, the Comm. Antenna must be located at least 20cm away from vehicle passengers, other personnel, or bystanders in order to comply with FCC radio frequency exposure limits. https://puls.calamp.com/wiki/TTU-12x0_Hardware_%26_Installation_Guide 26/36...
  • Page 27: Typical Connection Sequence

    In many cases it is desirable to verify that an installed TTU-12x0™ is working properly. That is, installers should verify that the GPS and communications functions of the TTU-12x0™ are working properly before departing the installation site. In https://puls.calamp.com/wiki/TTU-12x0_Hardware_%26_Installation_Guide 27/36...
  • Page 28: Comm Verification

    First, like the Comm Verification, there is a GPS status LED (i.e., the one closest to the SMA connector). If this LED is solid, then the LMU has found GPS service. If the LED is not visible then GPS service may be verified using an AT Command: https://puls.calamp.com/wiki/TTU-12x0_Hardware_%26_Installation_Guide 28/36...
  • Page 29: Inbound Verification

    2-3 minutes, installers should check antenna placement (see the Installation Notes section for placement suggestions), the antenna connector and that the antenna has a clear view of the sky. For further troubleshooting, installers should contact CalAmp Support (M2MSupport@CalAmp.com) 5.4.3 Inbound Verification The last item to verify is that the TTU-12x0™...
