It is easy to touch by sitting in the driver's seat; the preferred location is within the area from steering post to the vehicle centerline.
IDD-213N User Manual 12 4.3   Device Installation   Before  installing  the  device,  please  make  sure  device  has  been  configured  with necessary parameters including network parameters and working mode. Park the car and make sure engine is off, align the OBD connector of the device with the engine  diagnostic  port and simply  push  in  place, ensuring  the  device is secure. There comes one beep indicating device is power on.      If the OBD port cover can not be closed back after device plugged in, please use OBD extension cable and mount the device in proper place.
IDD-213N User Manual 13 Some heavy duties may need 9-Pin or 6-Pin deutsch wiring harness.      For  vehicles  do  not  have  an  OBD  port,  please  use  power  cable  to  connect  vehicle battery and configure the device with tracker mode.    Start engine, then device starts OBD communication, acquiring GPS info and Cellular network connection. Various status can be indicated by lights and beeps.  OBD communication: The OBD light change its status to solid on and comes 2 beeps with successful OBD communication. GPS  function:  The  GPS  light  becomes  blinking  indicates  that  device  has  got  its location. Cellular  connection:  The  Cellular  light  change  its  status  to  slow  blinking  indicates registered  network,  becomes  solid  on  and  comes  3  beeps  indicate  logged  into  the server.  Note: *Firmware below  V2.2.2: When working with  passenger or heavy duty mode, if OBD light keeps blinking and comes 6 beeps it means that device is not compatible with the vehicle, please change working mode. If it does not work with both passenger and heavy duty modes please change to tracker mode. To change working mode: 1) Remove the device, configure with PC Tool and install again. Or, 2) Send SMS *secretkey#set workmode#mode*, secretkey is the last 6 digits of device ID
IDD-213N User Manual 14 as  default,  mode can  be  passenger or heavyduty or tracker,  device  will  reboot  and  work  with configured working mode. SMS should be sent within 10 minutes after device plugged in, or it will go into sleep. With tracker mode, diagnostic functions are not provided, device simply gets power from OBD port. When plugged in there comes 6 beeps indicating it is working with tracker mode, if engine keeps off or idle state device will go into sleep after 3 minutes. *Firmware V2.2.2 and above: When device is the first time power on (plugged in), it will scan OBD protocol according to pre-configured working mode (ie, passenger car or heavy duty mode), the maximum  scanning  time  can  be  up  to  10  minutes,  if  no  OBD  protocol  is  detected  during  this period, device will auto change working mode to tracker mode, if OBD protocol is detected, device will  keep  its  working  mode.  After  auto  scanning  period  device  will  not  change  working  mode anymore even it is re-plugged, unless working mode  is re-configured with  PC Tool, via SMS, or from server. If tracker mode is pre-configured device will not scan OBD protocol and keep working with  tracker  mode  unless  working  mode  is  re-configured.  There  comes  6  beeps  indicating  that device is working with tracker mode. *If GPS does not work, please use OBD extension cable and mount the device in a proper place to make sure GPS signal can be well received. *If  dashboard  lights  are  abnormal  after  installation,  please  remove  the  device  and  contact Sinocastel technical team.

IDD-213N User Manual 16 5.   Functions 5.1   OBD Protocols Device  supports  all  legislated  OBD  II  protocols,  it  is  also  SAE  J1939  and  SAE  J1708 compliant.  SAE J1850-PWM  SAE J1850-VPW  ISO 9141-2  ISO 14230-4 (KWP2000)  ISO 15765-4 (CAN)  SAE J1939 (Heavy duty)  SAE J1587/J1708 (Heavy duty)  5.2   Location Inquiry Upon receiving location inquiry message from server or via SMS, device reports GPS data immediately.  5.3   Regular GPS data reporting GPS  data  can  be  sampled  by  3  means:  by  time  interval,  by  distance  or  by  heading change. They can be enabled or disabled separately, only sampled by time interval is enabled by default.   The sample rate for time interval can be 2-600s and default setting is 30s, for distance interval  can  be  50-5000m  and  default  setting  is  500m,  for  heading  change  can  be 5-90° and default setting is 15°.   There can be single or several groups of GPS data in one GPS message, determined by groups  of  GPS  data  per  message,  device  will  not  report  GPS  message  until  it  has collected specified groups of GPS data. Groups of GPS data per message can be 1-30 and default setting is 1. For example, sampled by time interval and sampled by distance are enabled, and the respective settings are 10s and 500m, groups of GPS data per message is 5. Assume that  vehicle  is  running at  speed  of  72km/h (20m/s),  then  it  takes 25s  to  run out of 500m, so GPS data are sampled at 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 40th second and reported at 40th second as 5 groups of GPS data have been collected at that time.
IDD-213N User Manual 17 The suggested minimal interval for GPS report is 10s. For example, if only sampled by time interval is enabled, then the settings might be 10s of sample rate and 1 group of GPS data per message, or 5s of sample rate and 2 groups of GPS data per message.  5.4   Regular G-Sensor Data Reporting Device  reports  G-Sensor  data  (g-value  of  X/Y/Z  axis)  according  to  configured  time interval, this function is disabled by default. The sample rate can be 200-6000ms and default setting is 1000ms. There  can  be  single  or  several  groups  of  G-Sensor  data  in  one  G-Sensor  message, determined by groups of G-Sensor data per message, device will not report G-Sensor message until it has collected specified groups of G-Sensor data. Groups of G-Sensor data per message can be 50-100 and default setting is 100.  5.5   Regular Diagnostic Data Reporting Device is able to read variety of vehicle diagnostic data, also called PID (parameter ID), including vehicle speed, engine RPM, engine coolant temperature, mass flow air, etc, and report up to 10 types of PID data according to configured time interval.   The sample rate can be 2-600s and default setting is 60s. There can be single or several groups of PID data in one PID message, determined by groups  of  PID  data  per  message,  device  will  not  report  PID  message  until  it  has collected specified groups of PID data. Groups of PID data per message can be 1-30 and default setting is 1. The suggested minimal interval for PID report is 10s, for example, 10s of sample rate and 1 group of PID data per message, or 5s of sample rate and 2 groups of PID data per message.  5.6   DTCs Reporting Device is able to read vehicle pending and stored DTCs (diagnostic trouble code), and freeze frame  data.  The backend server analyzes and  displays  the  DTCs  for users  on time to avoid high repairing cost.  5.7   Cell ID Reporting Device  reports  Cell  ID  every  30  seconds  when  it  loses  GPS  signal,  this  function  is disabled by default.
IDD-213N User Manual 18 5.8   GPS Data Reporting in Sleep Mode Device reports GPS data according to configured time interval during sleep. The time interval can be 10-1440min and default setting is 60min.  5.9   Data storage/Supplementary Report in Dead zones When there is no Cellular signal or Cellular signal is poor, GPS information are stored, and reported after signal recovery. Supplementary report can be last for 15 minutes at most after ignition is off.  5.10   Trip Mileage Device reports driving mileage in each reported message.  5.11   Trip Fuel Consumption Device reports fuel consumption in each reported message.  5.12   Driving behavior monitoring Real-time  detects  bad  driving  behavior,  including  Speeding,  high  RPM,  hard acceleration, hard brake, excessive engine idle time.  5.13   Alarms and Events Reporting Alarms  and  Events  are  reported  when  they  are  triggered  or  eliminated  and  there comes short beeps, beeps are disabled by default.  Engine on/off (Supported from firmware V2.1.2)  High RPM (triggered and eliminated)  Speeding (triggered and eliminated)  Low battery voltage (triggered and eliminated)  High engine coolant temperature (triggered and eliminated)  Hard acceleration  Hard brake  Excessive engine idle time (triggered and eliminated)  Fatigue driving (triggered and eliminated)  Towed  MIL on/off (Supported from firmware V2.1.2)  Excessive exhaust emission (triggered and eliminated)
