- 5 -2.3 On-Board Diagnostics OverviewAn On-Board Diagnostics (OBD) system controls engine functions and serves as the diagnostic controlnetwork of the vehicle. All cars built and sold in the United States since 1996 must be equipped with thenewer OBDII system. The Enfora MT 3050 connects to a vehicle's OBDII port and monitors the OBDIIsystem using a variety of communication protocols.The MT 3050 can be configured to provide notification messages based on events triggered by:lAccelerometer changelCheck engine light (MIL alert)lEngine RPMlGPS informationlIdle timelLow fuellTrip Odometer (trip distance)lVehicle battery voltage (low battery warning)lVehicle Identification Number (VIN)lVehicle speedlOther events monitored by the OBDII systemSome vehicles are not compatible with the MT 3050. If the vehicle is not compatiblewith the parameters the MT 3050 requires, then functionality may be limited,problematic, or unavailable.The SAE (Society of Automobile Engineers) 1979 standard defines the method for requesting diagnosticsdata and provides a list of standard parameters from the engine control unit.Compliance to this standard is the responsibility of the vehicle manufacturer, therefore Enfora cannotguarantee performance of the MT 3050 with every vehicle.

Pin 16 on the 16-Pin IO connector is thepositive power input, and pin 4 is the ground.3.4 AccelerometerThe three-axis digital accelerometer provides the following features:lMotion alert (towing alert)lDriver behavior reportinglRapid accelerationlHarsh brakinglConfigurable thresholdslRange settingslMode (Normal, Sleep, Wakeup)lWakeup pause (20 to 2560 msec)lSample Rate (0-25 per second)lFilter Coefficient and Filter BandwidthlDevice Orientation Setup3.5 GSM RadioThe MT 3050 (GSM2378) contains a quad-band (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) GSM radio.lClass 4 (2W@850/900 MHz)lClass 1 (1W@1800/1900 MHz)3.6 CDMA RadioThe MT 3050 (RTT2211) contains a dual-band (800/1900 MHz) CDMA radio.lBC0-800 MHz – US CelllBC1-1900 MHz – US PCS
- 8 -3.7 New Event ReportingThe MT 3050 has additional event reporting not supported by other Enfora products. For general eventreporting information and for detailed information about these new events refer to the MT 3050 ATCommand Document (GSM2374AT001).3.7.1 Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)The VIN is used as a unique identifier which is sent at first power up with heartbeat messages and withevents.Vehicle manufacturers are responsible for defining the list of data returned,therefore not all vehicles support retuning the Vehicle Identification Number.3.7.2 Excessive Engine Speed (RPM)Excessive engine speed alerts are triggered when the engine speed (in RPM) exceeds a defined RPM level(in ¼ RPM increments) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 30 seconds).The MT 3050 has three definable thresholds.Unnecessary wear and tear on the powertrain control module (PCM) may occur if constant or frequentexcessive engine speed is reported. The excessive engine speed event may be caused by one of thefollowing situations:lObstructions, such as ice or mud, that may cause wheel slippage if the obstruction is not removedfrom the vehiclelRevving the RPM while in neutrallSpeeding or reckless driving that causes excessive RPM engine speedThe following AT command example sets the excessive engine speed threshold at 1 to 4000 RPM. Then, ifexceeded for 3 seconds, it triggers the input event. This event will clear once engine RPM is below 4000 for30 seconds.AT$OBDEES=1,4000,3,30
- 9 -3.7.3 Vehicle SpeedIf configured for vehicle speed alerts and the vehicle moves faster than one of the three configurablethresholds (e.g., 70 MPH), then a vehicle speed alert is triggered.The following AT Command example sets the vehicle speed threshold at 1 to 112 KPH (~70MPH). When thethreshold is exceeded for 10 seconds, an input event is triggered. This event will clear when the vehiclespeed is reduced to 104KPH (~65MPH).AT$OBDSPD=1,112,10,1043.7.4 Vehicle Battery Voltage (Low Battery Warning)The vehicle battery voltage alert is triggered when the vehicle’s battery is reported to be below a threshold(e.g., 10.8 V) for a user-defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 300 seconds).The following AT Command example sets the low battery threshold to 10.8 volts. When the voltageremains below this threshold for 300 seconds (5 minutes), it triggers an input event. Restoring voltageabove the threshold for 300 seconds (5 minutes) will clear this event.AT$OBDLBL=10800,300,3003.7.5 Check Engine Light (MIL Alert)When the vehicle's “Check Engine” light illuminates, this indicates that a vehicle issue requires attentionfor diagnosis and/or repair. This is also known as a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL). A user can configurea device to detect a MIL issue through the OBDII protocol, and to send an alert when the device detectssuch an issue.3.7.6 Trip Odometer ReportingTrip odometer reporting provides the odometer miles accumulated from ignition-on to ignition-off, whichis considered a “trip”.Ignition events are not yet detected on hybrid or electric vehicles.
- 10 -3.7.7 Idle Time ReportingAn idle time event is triggered when the vehicle’s engine is running without the vehicle moving (i.e.,velocity less than 3 KPH) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 300 seconds).The alert is cleared when the vehicle speed exceeds another speed and time threshold.Both the violation and clearing of the alert are reported if configured.The following AT Command example sets the idle time speed threshold to 3 KPH for 5 minutes (300seconds) with a clearance time of 30 seconds. If the speed remains below this threshold for 300 seconds (5minutes), it triggers the input event. Restoring speed above this threshold for 30 seconds will clear thisevent.AT$OBDIDL=3,300,303.7.8 Low Fuel AlertThe low fuel alert triggers when the vehicle’s fuel level falls below a defined threshold in percent (e.g.,12%) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 60 seconds).The following AT Command example sets the low fuel alert threshold to 12% for 1 minute (60 seconds)with a clearance time of 30 seconds. If the fuel level remains below this threshold for 60 seconds, ittriggers the input event. Restoring the fuel level above this threshold for 30 seconds will clear this event.AT$OBDLFL=12,60,303.7.9 Rapid AccelerationRapid acceleration events can be triggered when one of three available thresholds are exceeded asdetermined by the accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 0.75) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 30seconds).The following AT Command example sets the rapid acceleration threshold #1 to .2G. If this threshold isexceeded for 1 second, then an input event is triggered. Keeping the acceleration of the vehicle below thisthreshold for 30 seconds will clear this event.AT$OBDACL=1,200,1,303.7.10 Sudden Deceleration (Harsh Braking)Rapid deceleration events can be triggered when one of three available deceleration thresholds areexceeded as determined by the accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 1.0) for a defined period of time in seconds(30 seconds).
- 11 -The following AT Command example sets the rapid deceleration threshold #1 to .5Gs. If this threshold isexceeded for 1 second, then an input event is triggered. Keeping the deceleration below this threshold for30 seconds will clear this event.AT$OBDDCL=1,500,1,33.7.11 Motion DetectionMotion alerts for vehicles can be configured to communicate that a vehicle is being towed. Motiondetection based on measuring movement via the accelerometer occurs when the vehicle ignition is off,and the vehicle is stationary.A motion alert is triggered when motion defined in milli-Gs is detected for a defined period of time.3.7.12 OBDII Basic Event DataFive additional data items can be included with event messages:lVINlFirmware version ($PKG)lOBD Protocol (i.e., J1850 PWM)lCellular signal strength (RSSI)lOBD speed3.7.13 Right TurnHarsh turn events can be triggered when one of two available thresholds are exceeded as determined bythe accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 0.75) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g. 30 seconds).The following AT command example sets the Right Turn accelerometer threshold 1 to .25 Gs. If thisthreshold is exceeded for 2 seconds, trigger the input event. This event will clear in 15 seconds when theacceleration is below this threshold.AT$OBDART=1,250,2,153.7.14 Left TurnHarsh turn events can be triggered when one of two available thresholds are exceeded as determined bythe accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 0.75) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 30 seconds).The following AT command example sets the Left Turn accelerometer threshold 2 to .3Gs. If this thresholdis exceeded for 1 second, trigger the input event. This event will clear in 20 seconds when the accelerationis below this threshold.AT$OBDALT=2,300,1,20
- 12 -3.7.15 UpUp accelerometer events can be triggered when the threshold is exceeded as determined by theaccelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 0.75) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 30 seconds).The following AT command example sets the Up accelerometer threshold to 1.2Gs. If this threshold isexceeded for 1 second, trigger the input event. This event will clear in 30 seconds when the acceleration isbelow this threshold.AT$OBDAUP=1,1200,1,303.7.16 DownDown accelerometer events can be triggered when the threshold is exceeded as determined by theaccelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 0.75) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 30 seconds).The following AT command example sets the Down accelerometer threshold to .8Gs. If this threshold isexceeded for 1 second, trigger the input event. This event will clear in 30 seconds when the acceleration isbelow this threshold.AT$OBDADN=1,800,1,303.8 Micro USB ConnectorThe MT 3050 includes a J1962 compliant OBDII connector and a micro USB I/O port.The Micro USB (2.0) connector is an input/output connector and is not intended forgeneral use. This connector should only be used when programming the modem.This USB port cannot be used to supply power to other USB devices and nothingshould be connected to this port when the vehicle is in motion. The MT 3050 can notbe powered through the USBPort.The micro USB connector is only used to program the modem. When programming the modem, a microUSB cable is required which you must purchase separately.
- 13 -Figure: 6 - Micro USB Cable3.9 Additional Software Features3.9.1 AT Commands Over SMSA user can send AT commands to the MT 3050 via SMS. Please refer to Enfora Application NoteENF0000AN012 - AT Commands Over SMS for details..3.9.2 Store/Transmit Event DataThe user can configure the MT 3050 to store event-generated data in its internal memory to be sent overthe air to a remote server. This feature can be enabled or disabled using the AT$MSGLOGEN command.“Total Number of Unread Messages” is decremented if an unread message is read via the AT$MSGLOGRDcommand.Example: Assume there are 50 unread messages in the message queue, and the total number of messagesin the message queue is 100. This means that the first 50 messages have been read while the last 50messages have not been read. If a user sends AT$GPSLOGRD=0,1,51 then the total number of unreadmessages drops down to 49 after successful transmission of that message. However, if a user sendsAT$GPSLOGRD=0,1,99 then the total number of unread messages still remains at 50—that message istransmitted to the remote server.A user can also read a message stored in the memory by inputting the appropriate starting index number.3.9.3 Synchronize RTC Time With GPS TimeThe Real Time Clock ("RTC") is synchronized with GPS time automatically every time the device is poweredup and first acquires valid GPS data. Additionally, the RTC time is synched with GPS time every time theGPS time rolls over from 23:59:59 to 00:00:01.

- 18 -4.2 Activating The DeviceWith CDMA devices, the user must contact the service provider to activate the device. They will need toprovide the MEID of the device to the provider. Once the provider has acknowledged that the device isready to activate, the user will then be required to send an activation string to the network.Send the activation string: AT+CDV*22899. This will initiate a call with the network. A successful call willlast approximately 40 seconds. If the call is terminated within 10-15 seconds, the call was not successful.Several attempts might be required. If after, a few attempts the call is not successful, please check theMEID of the device and compare it to the MEID provided to the provider.To verify that the activation has successfully completed, attempt a voice call AT+CDVxxxxxx. If the call issuccessful, then the OTASP (Over-the-Air Service Provisioning) was successful.4.3 Device InstallationMake sure the vehicle is parked on level ground prior to installing the MT 3050.Instructions provided in this section describe the hardware installation of the MT 3050 device. To installthe MT 3050 in a vehicle, follow these steps:1. Locate the OBDII socket. The location will vary between different vehicle manufacturers, models,and production years.2. Carefully insert the MT 3050 into the OBDII socket.3. After the device is installed, ensure the device is working properly as evidenced by a GPS lock and cel-lular connection, which can be validated by the LEDs.The MT 3050 is NOT a waterproof or sealed device. Care must be taken to ensure thedevice is kept away from water or any other liquids.
- 19 -Figure: 12 - Typical OBDII Socket LocationThe device starts the accelerometer auto-calibration process immediately after thedevice is installed and the vehicle's ignition is turned on.4.4 Accelerometer CalibrationThe accelerometer undergoes an automatic calibration sequence on the first drive after any of thefollowing events:lDevice installationlSoftware upgradelVehicle battery replacement (or recharge if battery was fully discharged)lDevice auxiliary processor reset
- 20 -Failure to follow the process below could cause an undesired behavior of the motionfeature. Failure to drive straight on level ground during the automatic calibrationmay reduce the accuracy of the accelerometer and have an adverse impact on eventstriggered by accelerometer readings.1. Make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground prior to installing the MT 3050.2. Drive the vehicle in a straight path on level ground during the automatic calibration. An inclined sur-face will put part of the gravity vector into the XY plane, which will affect the acceleration thresh-olds. (A 5.7 degree angle will place 10 % of the gravity vector into the XY plane.)When the vehicle passes 32 KPH, the auxiliary processor assumes that the vehicle ismoving in a straight line and determines the forward axis.

- 38 -6 AccesoriesThe following accessories are available for the MT 3050:Part Name Part NumberPlastic Lever ASA-3000-0001Backup Battery TBD6.1 Backup BatteryThe backup battery's primary function in the MT 3050 is to provide the ability for a user to be notifiedwhen the device is removed from the vehicle.Input Event 63 can be used to trigger an output event that can be configured in the same manner as theother output events. If the modem is off (power savings), it will be turned on. If GPS data is configured inthe output event, and the data is not available, the last known position can be configured to be used in theoutput message.AT$OBDBBT is used to configure the time (in seconds) that the device will stay powered after removalfrom the vehicle. The range is 30-6000 with the default being 600. In addition, to prevent damage to thebattery, the device will turn itself off when the battery reaches the level determined to be the lowest“safe” value.If the configured output message has not been sent when the timer or battery level dictates the device toshut down (and is configured to do so), it will be saved and sent the next time the device registers on thenetwork.The following figures show the battery and the connector cable.Figure: 32 - MT 3050 Battery Mounted in Cover TBD - Need ImageFigure: 33 - MT 3050 Battery Connection TBD - Need Image6.2 Plastic LeverUse the Plastic Lever to open the device.
