Section 1
Overview of the ST-550
This document will serve the user of this equipment as a Manual of Operations and
basic troubleshooting guide, thereby allowing for the proper installation and use of
the ST-550 Service Tracker.
This section provides an overview of the ST-550 Service Tracker System.
Features
Radio Terminal Downloader
Travel logs are logged every (6) minutes while the
vehicle is in motion
Work/Idle/Run/Count and Duration logs recorded.
Cumulative Machine Hours (CMH) compiled.
7 User Programmable Service Alerts.
Power conservation (Sleep State).
The Service Tracker (ST-550) is a radio device that compiles and stores work/ idle,
run and maintenance logs; connectivity is accomplished in RS232 and USB format
via a secure radio link. The ST-550 does not support IrDA communication.
In the operation mode, an ST-550 mounted on the dash board or on the top of the
vehicle, has been logging in CMH (Cumulative Machine Hours), and compiling
maintenance service times on the vehicle. Each maintenance procedure is assigned a
Service Tracker number (up to seven different procedures can be tracked). The
maintenance issues are displayed as service alerts. Each service alert has a designated
identifier number (one through seven) that display on the “window eye” of the ST-
550. The number indicates that a particular maintenance procedure should be
completed. When the service alert is satisfied the counter is reset with any supporting
PDA (Personal Data Assistant).
Retrieving the ST-550 data, such as the profile, service alerts, work/ idle/ run/
count/duration logs is accomplished with a supporting PDA, or by using the OEM
Data Delivery manufactured mobile CPU called GoPOD. The GoPOD is configured
with 512 MB Memory, 1 GB CF, Windows XP Embedded for ease of use. The
housing is designed to be installed on a lube or fuel truck, low boy truck, mechanics’
truck or supervisor’s vehicle. The GoPOD is equipped with a GPS antenna, and a
radio antenna. Information is collected passively, from the ST-550 and “hands-free”.
GPS coordinates are automatically stamped into the record as hourly data is collected.
Information is collected via drive-by, within a range of 300 ft. line of site, and
transmitted via secure radio link.

Section 2 | Overview and Technical Specifications
Data is then downloaded into a web report each night, and made available on a
password-protected website. Information easily integrates with any major back office
management system. There is never an interruption of equipment operation.
A supporting type PDA will also allow the user to update (modify) the real time
clock, as well as capturing the Work/Idle/Run, Count/Duration logs.
For systems without the GoPOD CPU: Use an external GPS antenna, if available, in
the proximity of the communication between the (ST-550) and the servicing
equipment, to gather location information.
When used with the OEM Data delivery Vibration Sensor, the service tracker can
differentiate the subtle differences in engine vibration, between run/work and idle,
and compile a report, for the user, on where fuel consumption occurs verses work
output.

Installation Procedures
How to… Correctly install the ST-550 (Radio Service Tracker) with the
Engine Vibration Sensor and Battery Harness.
Before Installing:
R
R
e
c
o
r
d
Record the ST-550 SERIAL NUMBER, located on the side of the
Service Tracker, and the MACHINE NUMBER that you are
installing the Service Tracker on, for reference purposes. This
information must be reported back to OEM Data Delivery for
tracking purposes.
Installing the ST-550
1. Turn off the engine and the master switch.
2. Visualize how to run the wires from the battery box and the engine to the
ST-550 Service Tracker.
Not recommended: Mounting the ST-550 in an enclosed environment such as
a battery box, metal engine bays, and closed cabs.
3. Mount the ST-550 on a flat surface with the
internal antenna pointed upward and secure the
enclosure using (4) four self- tapping screws.
4. Once the ST-550 is mounted, drill a hole (3) three
inches below the ST-550, and (15/16 inches) in
diameter.
5. Pull the pigtail harness from the battery and vibration sensor through this
hole. This will protect the harness from the elements and road hazards.
6. Plug the connector (J1) from the pigtail STWH/200A into the ST-550 and
push the two cables through the 15/16 inch drilled hole.
Check the machine frame voltage (e.g. positive or negative ground). The
ST-550 operates with a negative ground.
Installing the ST-550 harness: Be aware of moving parts, provide
adequate slack for wires around moving parts, then cable tie all wiring. Do
not have unsecured or hanging wires.
When mounting the Service Tracker, beware of compartments that open;
Example: Where a radiator assembly lifts up, as in a bob cat or other skid
steers. Choosing a secure location will prevent damaging the ST-900.
Before drilling check for obstructions and sensitive equipment (e.g.
radiators, hydraulic tanks, fuse boxes etc.).

If the ST-550 comes equipped with a Green
ground wire
7. Connect the ring terminal “GREEN”
wire to a chassis ground. (e.g., frame,
body, engine or frame side of master
switch).
NOTE: ST-550’s with a Vibration Sensor option will Not have a chassis
ground ring terminal.
The Battery Cable
1. Connect the battery harness ring terminal “RED” wire to the battery
positive 12VDC or 24VDC post.
2. Connect the battery harness ring terminal “BLACK” wire to the
ground post on the battery.
3. Run the battery cable back to the ST-550 and connect it to the pigtail
(supplied by OEM, See Figure 5).
4. Put a 3 or 5 Amp Fuse (supplied by OEM) in the
fuse holder and close the cap. The window eye
light should be blinking on the ST-550.
5. The ST-550 now has power. Red Wire
6. Only if you’re Not using a Vibration Sensor, you will need to connect
the Yellow wire to a positive +12v or +24v power source that ONLY
has power while the machine is running (use Alternator “R” DC
terminal, to get both work and idle reading inputs if available). OEM
recommends use of the Vibration Sensor (ST-103) an OEM Controls,
Inc. product, for accuracy in reading work and idle times and for ease
of installation.
Only if you’re Not using a Vibration Sensor, You will need at least 7.0
volts “Motor Run” voltage when you connect to the Alternator with
the yellow wire. If the voltage source is adequate (Service Tracker will
start counting hours).
7. Secure the harness using cable-ties, leaving adequate slack in the
wires.
Plug the drilled hole with the rubber
grommet attached to the harness.

Section 2 | Installation Procedures
Mobile radios and high power AC equipment or transmission lines are
potential sources of interference. If interference is a problem a
shielded cable which is connected to chassis ground is advised.
Contact OEM Data Delivery for further assistance.
Installing the Vibration Sensor
Warning: This installation should not be attempted while the engine is
running.
1. Find a smooth surface on the engine block away
from any excessive heat source. The vibration
sensor must be securely mounted perpendicular
to the engine crankshaft, or parallel to the belts.
A good location is the alternator bracket or
some other belt-driven accessory bracket. Best results will be obtained
when the two mounting holes sit on a horizontal plane. The sensor
must be mounted on the engine side of the engine mounts (not on the
chassis or frame).
2. Secure the Vibration Sensor using cable-ties.
3. Run the Vibration Sensor cable back to the ST-550, and plug the
supplied connector into the harness of the ST-550. (See Item 2 in
Figure 5).
4. Using Ty-wraps secure the harness, giving adequate slack in the wires.
Be sure to keep the wires away from exhausts and moving parts. Do
not block filters or routinely serviced parts.
Calibrating the ST-550
Step 1: Start the engine and keep it idling. Once the engine is warmed:
Step 2: Press & Hold the Wake button on Service Tracker. (10 to 15
seconds).
“Window Box Eye” display will cycle from to to
Note: If is not visible on the display during calibration,
check the wire connections to the Vibration Sensor or to
the vehicle alternator and ground.
Otherwise:
Once the disappears, two (2) bars should display in the “Window Box
Eye”.

Rev the engine. Three (3) bars will display in the Window Box Eye.
Bring the engine back to the idle position, two (2) bars will display.
The ST-550 will now start generating run logs.
Upon Completion
1. Observe the Radio Service Tracker (ST-550)
2. If the alert light flashes on a one second interval, then it is counting hours.
3. If the alert light flashes on a three second interval, then it is Not counting
hours. This indicates that the ST-103 Vibration Sensor is incorrectly
positioned or not functioning.
4. If the bars do not change from two (2) bars to three (3), move the Vibration
Sensor until they display.
5. To obtain Idle and Work Logs, if a Vibration Sensor is Not used, a pulsed
output from the alternator is required.
Note: If alternator does not have a pulsed (RPM) output, the ST-550
display will cycle to to (No pulses) to again.
In this case there will be a Run Log generated.

1. If the motor is OFF, and Master Switch is ON and there is a fast-pulse** -
check the Yellow wire connection point. Verify the voltage between the
YELLOW and GREEN wire is less than (6) VDC.
2. If the motor is ON, and Master Switch is ON, and there is a slow-pulse* -
check the Yellow or Green wire connections for breaks.
If the motor is OFF, and the Master Switch is OFF, and there is fast-pulse**
- separate the Green and Black wires. Connect the Green wire to a chassis
ground.
3. If the Service Tracker will not turn on or wake, check the Red and Black
wires for breaks and correct installation. Check for fuse failure at the Red
Wire attachment point to the battery. Using a multi-meter check for 12 or
24v across the Red and Black wires.
4. Important: In using an external battery to “jump” power into the system
and with the coils frame grounded, be sure to connect the external battery
negative to the frame of the vehicle being jumped. This is to keep the
external battery ground and the vehicle frame at the same ground potential.
