Safety Precaution - Static Electricity
Follow these simple precautions to protect yourself from harm and the products from
damage.
 To avoid electrical shock, always disconnect the power from your PC chassis
before you work on it. Don't touch any components on the CPU card or other
cards while the PC is on.
 Disconnect power before making any configuration changes. The sudden rush of
power as you connect a jumper or install a card may damage sensitive electronic
components.
Warning! 1. Input voltage rated: 6-36 Vdc.
2. Transport: carry the unit with both hands and handle with care.
3. Maintenance: to properly maintain and clean the surfaces, use only
approved products or clean with a dry applicator.
4. CompactFlash: Turn off the power before inserting or removing
CompactFlash storage cards.

This chapter gives background
information on the TREK-550
In-Vehicle Computing Box.
Sections include:
Introduction
General Specifications
Dimensions

1.1Introduction
The TREK-550 is a dedicated box computer for industrial vehicle fleets, transport
trucks, buses and taxis. TREK-550 combined with variety of I/O connectors can be
connected to devices like OBD-II or TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System). Dual
display/dual audio interfaces supporting different resolutions can deliver different
applications to different displays; eg: one application to a fleet driver and another to
a digital signage application.
Built-in wireless communications (WWAN, WLAN, BT) enable TREK-550 to send
important driver/vehicle/location/cargo information back to the control center.
TREK-550 can also operate in extreme environments with features like a wide
working temperature range (-30 to 70 degrees). TREK-550 also uses a special
design to handle the critical issue of in-vehicle power. Special power protection
(ISO7637-2/SAE J1455 Class A/ SAE J1113) and car power management software
(Ignition on/off, delay on/off, low battery monitor) prevent electrical noise and surges
from impacting the system, guarding against damage from transient car power.
TREK-550 also support rear view monitor through connecting video in port. With this
feature, driver can real time monitor the environment on two sides of the truck for
driving safety. TREK-550 can also support dead-reckoning feature, which means the
truck can still be traced even the driver is driving in a tunnel.

1.2.1 General

Dimensions : (W x H x D): 271 x 149 x 69.7 mm.
 Weight : 2 kg.
 Power supply :
– Input voltage : 6 ~ 36Vdc, support ignition cold crank
– Ignition on/off
– Low battery shut-down protection threshold (optional) : When the
vehicle battery voltage level drops below 11V for more than 30 seconds,
TREK-550 will automatically shut down in order to prevent “deep discharge”
situations and TREK-550 can be re-activated only when the voltage is > 11V.
– Power on delay : Default 2 seconds. When the TREK-550 is powered on via
ignition key, the system will delay 2 seconds to power on.
– Power off delay : Default 5 seconds. When TREK-550 power is controlled by
ignition key and turns off by the key (ignition=off), the TREK-550 will start the
shut procedure after 5 seconds.
– Hard off delay : Default 30 seconds. When TREK-550 power is controlled by
ignition key and turns off by the key (ignition=off), the TREK-550 will cut off
the 5VSB power after 30 seconds. In this event when the shutdown process
is longer than 30 seconds, the power will be shut down hard, turning off the
TREK-550's power and 5VSB.
Note! For more detail of function please refer to Chapter 4, Section 4.3.2 of
this manual.
