For your safety

It is essential that TDC-E is transported, stored, installed and used in accordance with its intended use in order to ensure 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.
• Do not spray anything on and inside the device.
• Dropping, knocking, violently shaking and any rough handling 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 is needed). Other than that, TDC-E housing does not contain any user-serviceable parts.

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

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.

Connecting sensors to the TDC-E

Direct connection
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.

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).

TDC-E does not have its own power switch. To switch off the device, remove the power supply cable from the PWR connector or disconnect the power supply. TDC-E features three LED’s that show the current operating state:

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.

Maintenance and cleaning

Maintenance
TDC-E housing does not contain any user-serviceable parts.

Cleaning
Clean the housing with a soft, dry or slightly moistened cloth. Do not use any solvents or high-pressure cleaners.
