PURPOSE
This document is the Mounting procedure of TCU 1.2.
TCU 1.2 is a part of a Tire Pressure Monitoring System.
The Telematics Control Unit (TCU) collects information on the vehicle and
transmits it over the GSM network to a back-end server. It can capture data
from CAN, GPS, TPMS, or other wireless sensors.

TCU1.2 MOUNTING INTERFACE
The TCU 1.2 is mounted on a plane surface fixed on the vehicle frame. The TCU 1.2 has 3 mounting points equipped with silent blocks. The TCU 1.2 must be fixed on support (available on demand). This support (“TCU 1.2 interface”, also called “Bracket base”) is defined in the appendix.

---|---
TCU 1.2 MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS
Screws (not provided by LDL) must be tightened @ 4,5 Nm +/-0,5 Nm. It’s
recommended to use an elastic washer (Belleville type) between the screw head
and silent block with a spacer.
Stainless steel is recommended.
M6 bolts are recommended, the screw for a fixation on a base plate fixation in
thickness of 1,5mm must have a length equal to or higher than 20mm.
NOTA BENE: The usage of a different bracket; without LDL written approval;
would void the warranty of the TCU 1.2.
A universal fixation kit can be provided by LDL. It consists of a bracket base
and a bracket extension. A combination of these parts is able to fit all
vehicle types.

LDL TCU 1.2 bracket combinations
Note: on some harnesses, the back shell can be mounted in an opposite direction (rotation @ 180° versus pictures are shown on this page)
To link a bracket base to a bracket extension, 2 bolts minimum are needed, type M6, length 16mm, with 2 M6 washers (1 standard type and 1 Belleville type).
TCU 1.2 CONNECTION
After its connection onto TCU 1.2, the cable must be fastened as close as
possible to its TCU 1.2 starting point (end of connector base).
This cable fastening must be done on a hole in the bracket base to minimize
the effect of vibration on the connector assembly, see the picture below:
From the TCU 1.2 connector base to the fixation point on the bracket base, the
cable curvature diameter must be higher than 100 mm.
Verify that no tension stress is applied onto the harness between TCU 1.2 and
the fixation point onto the vehicle chassis, this check must be done after
connection of the harness connector onto the TCU 1.2 connector and after the
fastening of the cable onto the bracket base. Always avoid contact between the
cable and the shape edge of the bracket.
The connector must be secured, which means 2 harpoon shapes, and each side of
the connector must be locked.
Nota Bene: Incorrect wiring should prevent the system to operate properly.
✔ TCU 1.2 has to be connected to +12V or +24V through 5A fuse protection.
✔ To power supply the TCU 1.2, it has to be connected on KL31 (battery
negative) and KL15 (ignition).
✔ When TCU 1.2 and ECU or EBS are connected to the same CAN network, they must
share the same ground.
LDL Technology can provide the wiring harness; ask LDL for details TCU 1.2
connected to LDL harness are IP69K & IP 68.
TCU 1.2 LOCATING RECOMMENDATIONS
The TCU 1.2 must be fixed horizontally and upside down (Vent side facing the ground):
✔ The TCU 1.2 must be free from any metallic shield in the Z direction.
The antenna should be cleared as possible to optimize RF communication and
reduce areas of non-receipt.
✔ There must be a free area of a minimum of 5cm wide around the TCU in all
directions.
✔ TCU 1.2 must not be exposed to direct gritting.
✔ Each TCU 1.2 must be at a central point between the wheels that it has to
receive, and aligned on the vehicle axis. The distance between TCU 1.2 and WUS
would not exceed 3 meters.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR AUTO-LOCALIZATION
The TCU 1.2 must be fixed horizontally and upside down (Vent side facing the ground):
Also, the TCU 1,2 must be fixed on the geometrical center of the rear axles, as close as possible to the central wheel axis. Locating tolerance is about +/- 20 cm
Orientation of the TCU 1.2 versus driving direction must be in one of the two followings settings:
FCC/IC REGULATORY NOTICES
9.1. MODIFICATION STATEMENT
LDL Technology does not approve any changes or modifications to this device by
the user. Any changes or modifications could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
9.2. INTERFERENCE STATEMENT
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Industry Canada
licence-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two
conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device
must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device.
9.3. RADIATION EXPOSURE STATEMENT
This device complies with FCC/IC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment and meets the FCC radio frequency (RF) Exposure
Guidelines and RSS 102 of ‐ the IC radio frequency (RF) Exposure rules. The
antenna should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 25 cm
between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
9.4. FCC CLASS B DIGITAL DEVICE NOTICE
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device. pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates. uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and. if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However.
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception. which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on. the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
GENERAL ADVERTISING / CONSIGNES GENERALES
System installation must be done by qualified technicians for Electrical and Mechanical operations. These operators must be trained specifically to operate on LDL products before processing.
In general, technicians have to respect :
– Safety instructions from the vehicle manufacturer
– Safety instructions from the vehicle owner
– Dedicated clothes and protections are recommended as gloves, glasses,
reinforced shoes, helmet,…
Before processing, the vehicle must be secured in a parking position, the
working zone must be clean and sufficiently enlightened. The work area must be
secure and ensure a restricted access layout.
If a part of the system is damaged in operation, replace it only with original
equipment from the original supplier, this is the way to insure optimal system
safety.
A periodic check is recommended on system integrity (fixation, connection,…)
according to the vehicle owner’s maintenance plan.
Respect instructions on electrical skills as :
– Put power off before processing
– Do not bend cables more than the minimum curvature radius: of 15 cm
– Do not install cables close to the warm area (engine,…) or parts in rotation
or displacement
– Connectors must be clean and dry before assembly, verify the correct lock of
the final assembly
– Flying harness must be fastened 10 cm around the connection zone, and not on
a sharp edge frame.

TCU 1.2 interface dimension, see drawing below ref. 2160620000 C0 or D0
WARNING
It is recommended to use holes already available for fixing the bracket.
Vehicle chassis must not be drilled, only restricted areas are authorized to
drill as :
– EBS support frame
– Suspension Stroke sensor frame
– Other frames are dedicated to supporting accessories
WARNING
THIS CONTROL UNIT MUST NOT BE RECOVERED BY PAINTING, VARNISH; OR OTHER COATING
AS BLACKSON TYPE. THIS COVERING WILL DECREASE THE MECHANICAL STRENGTH OF THE
HOUSING AND ALSO GENERATE PERTURBATIONS IN THE DATA TRANSMISSION.
