General Information
OEM Data Delivery, a leading developer of rugged electronic tools for managing worksites and
high-end equipment, has introduced a versatile system for tracking equipment at remote
locations.
The ST-900 generates the real-time information needed to maximize revenue and cut waste.
The ST-900 is one of the most powerful, and versatile tools available for precise job costing. It
was engineered for severe service performance at construction, landfill, rental and other
complex operations. Implementation is quick and training typically requires just a few hours.
The ST-900 works with the GoPod from OEM Data Delivery. This concealed computer
installs in lube/fuel trucks, low boy trucks, and supervisor’s vehicles for additional process data
capture, including fuel, driver logs, and mechanic work logs. It has a GPS antenna and a radio
antenna. GPS coordinates are stamped into the record as hour data is collected. Information is
collected passively, within range of a 300 foot line of sight, and transmitted via secure radio link.
The ST-900 works remotely using cellular GPRS. This allows the user to capture data from the
tracker, the profile, work/idle/run logs, latitude, longitude, travel logs, and count/duration logs. It
also allows the user to disable or enable the ignition on the vehicle, profile the tracker, and
modify the real time clock to adjust for daylight savings time and time zone differences.
Radio Communication
The radio will allow you to retrieve all ST-900 data, such as the profile, service alerts,
work/idle/run/count duration logs, and GPS information (latitude and longitude). You can
retrieve this data using a GoPod. The Aceeca/Gopod will allow the user to update (modify) the
real time clock. The Aceeca will not be used to capture the work/idle/run, count/duration logs.
GPS Communication
The GPS will give the user the positional information of the ST-900 (Latitude and Longitude).
The speed over ground is used to derive the cumulative machine mileage.
GPRS Communication
The GPRS will allow the user to have remote connectivity using cellular technology. The user
can obtain information on a PC with OEM Server Software that will communicate with the ST-
900 using the GPRS network. The Cellular GPRS will allow you to retrieve all data, such as the
count/duration logs. It also allows the user to disable/enable the ignition on the vehicle, profile
the tracker and modify the real time clock to adjust for daylight saving time and time zone
differences.

1. Turn off motor. Also turn off master switch, if so equipped.
2. Mount ST-900 near fuel refill area.
3. Wire Color:
RED – Connect RED wire to a positive 12V or 24V DC source. Provide a 3 or 5 amp fuse
at the battery
BLACK – Connect BLACK wire to ground on battery
GREEN – Connect GREEN wire to a chassis ground (e.g., frame, body, engine or frame
side of the master switch).
YELLOW – Connect YELLOW wire to a positive 12V or 24V power source that ONLY has
voltage while the machine is running (must be on alternator “R” DC terminal in
order to get both work and idle reading or yellow wire to output of Vibe Sensor)
(ST-103).
Note: 7.0 volts is the minimum “motor run” voltage (starts the Service Tracker counting hours).
4. Calibrating your ST-900 for Engine Work and Idle Logging:
Step 1: Start the equipment and keep it idling.
Step 2: PRESS & HOLD the “F1” button on your Service Tracker.
Step 3: Release the “F1” button after the display cycles from F to C to F for, about
10 to 15 seconds. If you don’t get a C during calibration, check the connection
of your yellow & green wires.
Note: If the equipment does not have a pulse (RPM) output, the ST-900 display will
cycle F to C to n (no pulses) to F. In this case, there will be a Run Log.
Note: The ST-900 will generate run logs, if the yellow wire connected to 12 V or 24
DC.
Note: If the yellow wire is connected to the “R” terminal of alternator and the
alternator is giving pulsed outputs, the tracker will generate idle and work
logs.
Note: If the yellow wire is connected to an ST-103 (Engine Vibration Sensor) you
will be able to obtain work logs.
5. Diagnosis:
1. If the motor is OFF, and the master switch is ON and there is a fast-pulse** - re- check
the yellow wire connection location.
2. If the motor is ON, and the master switch is ON, and there is a slow-pulse* - re-check
the there is a yellow or green wire connection.
** Fast Pulse - LED flashes once every two seconds
*Slow Pulse - LED flashes once every four seconds
3. If the Service Tracker will not turn on or wake, check the red wire and the fuse. Use a
voltmeter to check the red and black wires at the Service Tracker. Re-check the power
wiring if there is not 12 (or 24) volts present.

DOC # 20977
ST-900 Installation Guide and User’s Manual Page 14
4. If the motor is OFF, and the master switch is OFF, and there is fast-pulse** - separate
the green and black wires and connect the green to a chassis ground.
5. Make sure you don’t split the batteries when they are jumped (e.g., two 12V
batteries to get 24V).
** Fast Pulse - LED flashes once every two seconds
*Slow Pulse - LED flashes once every four seconds
6. Completion:
1. Observe the Service Tracker:
1. If the alert light flashes at one second intervals, then it is counting hours.
2. If the alert light flashes at three second intervals, then it is NOT counting hours.
7. Installation Tips:
1. Identify the frame voltage (i.e., positive ground or negative ground).
2. Avoid routing wires near moving parts. Give adequate slack in wires. Zip-tie all wires.
3. Avoid routing wires near hot exhaust system and turbo chargers.
4. When mounting Service Trackers, watch out for compartments that open,
especially bob cats or other skid steers where the radiator assembly lifts up, so
leave slack in wires to the Service Tracker.
5. Do not drill mounting holes unless you are confident that you will not damage the
underlying component.

1. Plug the GPS module into the connector located beside the main harness connector. Make
sure the key on the connector is aligned before you fasten it securely.
2. Turn the vehicle ignition on. (The power to the GPS is turned off when the ignition is off to
conserve battery power). The GPS module will need about 5 minutes to get a valid fix for the first
time.
3. Depress “F2” for diagnostics. There should be no “G” displayed when your GPS is fully
functional.
