Receiving and unpacking – general guidelines on how to safely unpack, lift and inspect the product. • Installing the MCU in the vehicle – how to safely install and secure the product. • Customer service – Dana TM4 customer service contact details. • What’s new This guide has been modified as follows: •...
Installation Guide Disclaimer All installation instructions, limits and warnings given in the technical documentation supplied by Dana TM4 must be respected in order to ensure that the system runs optimally and is not at risk of damage by misuse. Operating the system outside of the established limits constitutes misuse and may invalidate any warranty.
On leaving Dana TM4 facilities, the product is void of all coolant and all connectors are covered. The packaging is designed to protect the content against damage from vibrations and impacts and is able to withstand maritime conditions during transportation.
• Note: If the packaging and/or the product is damaged, take photographs of the damage, save all packaging materials and immediately notify the carrier as well as Customer Service at Dana TM4. See Section 5 for Dana TM4 contact information.
Follow all instructions in this guide on how to lift and install the MCU. • Call Dana TM4 Customer Service if in doubt (see Section 5 for contact details). • 4.1.1 Respecting CSC and MKC markings on interface drawings Before installing the product, refer to any CSC and MKC markings on the product interface drawing [8].
Mishandling of this product may damage the product and/or cause injury or death. • All limitations and specifications communicated by Dana TM4 regarding the product must be respected. Do not attempt to open or repair this product. In case of damaged casing or suspected product •...
A parallel cooling system is recommended for the TM4 SUMO™ system, but information is also given on a possible serial cooling configuration, see Section 4.4.3. Note: Dana TM4 does not supply any cooling equipment or accessories. 4.4.1 Safety warnings related to handling the cooling agent Read all safety warnings associated with handling the cooling agent before working with the cooling system.
As the cooling units are supplied by the vehicle integrator and the cooling system setup involves fine-tuning and testing at the customer site, Dana TM4 has no specific recommendations on how to achieve optimal configuration but coolant liquid pressure must not reach or exceed 30 PSI.
Two different types of coolant should not be mixed. • As the cooling unit, cooling hose and cooling agent are not supplied by Dana TM4, the vehicle integrator has full responsibility for following specifications and operating methods given by the manufacturers of each of these parts.
Note: The location of the second end connection point of the grounding strap given here is an example as the actual location will depend on the type of application being used by the vehicle integrator. One screw is provided by Dana TM4 for grounding purposes.
Table 4 for standard and reversed mappings. Using the harness you have prepared or purchased from Dana TM4, refer to the product interface drawing [8] for illustrated cable installation information.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Disable the high-voltage and auxiliary batteries before connecting or disconnecting the motor sensor interface harness. A motor sensor interface harness is required between the motor and the MCU; when using Dana TM4 products together in a system, you can order a motor sensor interface harness of a pre-determined length to be delivered with the system, contact Customer Service for available lengths and part numbers.
Preparing the motor sensor interface harness Dana TM4 provides the plug and contacts required for integrators to provide their own motor sensor interface harness to connect an A3 MCU to an A3 motor; pinout information is given in Table 5.
Using the motor sensor harness delivered with your Dana TM4 system, or the harness you have prepared for use with a non-TM4 motor, connect the cable to the MCU using its dedicated mating location.
VMU interface harness. 4.5.7.1 Preparing the VMU/ECU interface harness A VMU or client ECU interface harness (not supplied by Dana TM4) is required between the Motor Control Unit (MCU) and the Vehicle Management Unit (VMU). The VMU interface harness contains all required signals to interface the MCU with the VMU including the enable signal and the CAN ports.
TM4 ODIN and set up the CAN connection, see the TM4 ODIN Technical Guide [3]. Note: Dana TM4 is not responsible for any damage to the system caused by misuse or modification of the application code.
13 At this point, the Basic TM4 ODIN file (.odn4) can be opened from the TM4 ODIN menu File/Open to view customer TM4 MCU parameters. Contact Dana TM4 Customer Service if you require help programming the system using TM4 ODIN. For customer service contact details, see Section 5.
