B a t R F T r a c t o r I n t e r f a c e M o d u l e ( T I M ) I n s t a l l a t i o n I n s t r u c t i o n s How It Works The TIM (Tractor Interface Module) is an intuitive device that that interfaces between the PeopleNET on board computer and the BatRF wireless TPM sensors. The TIM ships with the following: 1) A Tractor Interface Module 2) A PeopleNET g3 services interconnect cable 3) Adhesive backed mushroom Velcro and primer to mount the TIM Installing the Unit 1) Locate the PeopleNET g3 Onboard computer (OBC). TIP – Typical mounting locations for the g3 OBC are: a) behind or under the passenger seat b) behind or under the driver’s seat c) For Sleeper Cabs, in the storage area under the bed accessible from the outside of the truck.
2) Select a mounting location for the TIM. IMPORTANT – The TIM wirelessly communicates with the Airbat TPMS sensors; thus the mounting location must meet the following requirements: ● DO mount the TIM at window height or higher in the cab. ● DON’T mount the TIM where metallic objects are within 1” of the front face next to the upper right hand corner of the box (where the receiving antenna is located). ● DON’T mount the TIM within 12 inches of other wireless transmitters (in-cab WiFi, Blu-tooth and microwave ovens). Typically the TIM is mounted above the passenger door (sleeper cabs) or on the lower passenger side of the rear window. TIP – Choose a location that will allow for easy routing for the cable that runs between the TIM and the PeopleNET g3 OBC. 4) Install the TIM Peal the Mushroom head Velcro adhesive back strip and adhere a piece to each end of the back of the TIM. Mount the mating pieces to the TIM and remove the backing adhesive strip. Press the TIM into its mounting location so the adhesive will stick.
4) Install the cable between the TIM and the g3 OBC. Attach the serial port to the 9 pin D connector of the TIM unit and tighten the thumb screws. Connect the cable locking DIN connector to the onboard computer g3 services port (black over-molding) and tighten. Both power and serial communications are run through this cable (eliminates the need for a separate power cable). The TIM connects to the PeopleNet On Board Computer (OBC) via a g3 interface cable. The g3 Services connection is a short cable with a black round locking DIN connector that is provided with the TIM unit. 5) Connect the 9 pin D cable to the TIM and tighten the thumb screws 6) Connect the 6 pin round DIN connector to the BLACK insulated 6 pin DIN connector that comes out of the breakout connector of the PeopleNET OBC and tighten the locking thumb nuts together by hand. NOTE- Don’t connect to the RED or BLUE insulated connectors…it must be the Black insulated Connector which is the g3 services port. NOTE - Both power and serial communications are run through this cable (eliminates the need for a separate power cable). To allow the BatRF TIM to communicate with the PeopleNET g3 services port, the port must be assigned and configured using the PeopleNET in cab keyboard and display.
Configuring the PeopleNET g3 Serial Port To allow the BarRF TIM to communicate with the PeopleNET g3 services port, the port must be configured. This is done through the OBC Administration Menu on the display. To configure the port, follow these steps: Step 1: From the main menu select Main and use the down arrow to scroll through the menu options to the bottom of the list. Select “OBC Administration” from the main menu. Step 2: Using the keyboard enter the password, “9238”. Then select “Done”. Step 3: Select “Assign serial port”. Step 4: Select “g3 Services”. This will assign the serial port to be used by g3 Services. Step 5: Select the baud rate. The port can be configured to run at 57,600 baud. If the serial port assignment has been changed, the OBC must be reset to make the change effective. Step 6: Select “OK” to reset the OBC and to finish the port configuration.
Testing the Unit After waiting about 30 seconds after the PN display has powered up …press the UP Arrow until you see a line that says Ok BatRF TPM0 S0 This line is placed on the PN terminal by the BatRF TIM. Every 2.5 seconds the TIM alternates the first character in the line between a space and an “*” or a space and an “!” if there is an error or a low/flat tire. To test the AirBat TIM device after installation turn the power on …………………………….. Data Entry Into WebBat Record the Vehicle #, Vehicle Type, Sensor Serial # and Wheel Position (optional) and enter the information into WebBat. Trouble Shooting If the TIM is unable to communicate with the PeopleNet OBC it will be indicated with a blink code on the LEDs of the TIM. Part# 09-930-8210
