Revision A
Choose a mounting surface with the least amount of vibration and not more than 0.125”(3.175 mm) thick.
The following steps outline the mounting procedure:
1. Choose a suitable mounting location based on the criteria above.
2. Create a rectangular cut-out in the panel that is a minimum 3.9”(99 mm) high and 6.2”(158 mm) wide.
3. Place the controller into the panel cut-out so that the LCD screen and buttons are facing out.
4. Place the mounting clips into the designated slots on the top and bottom of the controller.
5. Tighten the screws on the clips until the controller is snug against the panel. Do not over-tighten. The
bottom of the screws should angle very slightly away from the controller.
6. If applicable, snap the RelayPak (RP100) to the back of the controller. Place one side of the RP100’s
tabs into the slot on the back of the controller and, without pushing on the relays, snap the other tab into
place.
The following figures show the TE Series cut-out dimensions and an image of the controller.
2.1 General Wiring Notes
The following important wiring guidelines should be followed:
•Use a minimum of 18 AWG wire for all connections
•Battery Positive (+Battery) and Battery Negative connections on the controller should be run directly to
the positive and negative terminals on the battery to prevent voltage drops from negatively impacting the
controller
•Limit the wire length to 20 ft (6.1 m) to any I/O on the controller (e.g., Switched Input, Switched Outputs,
AC Sensing and Analog Inputs)
The TOUGH Series contains a TVS to protect the I/O and internals from a transient on the main battery (the
battery from which the controller is powered). If you have I/O connected to other batteries or power supplies,
those I/O must contain their own voltage transient protection. Otherwise, the I/O and/or controller can be
damaged if the transient exceeds the maximum rated voltage of the I/O. A device that provides this kind of
protection is known as a TVS or a varistor.

•The switched outputs already contain a kickback diode. Do not connect relays with an internal kickback
diode to a switched output as the output may be shorted. This includes relays in the RelayPak
•Fusing:
- A fuse should be placed in line with the battery positive wire going to the controller power; a 10 A
fuse is suggested
- The AC Voltage A, B and C lines should be fused near the source of AC voltage with a 1 A fuse to
protect personnel if any of these lines becomes disconnected or damaged
- If using the RelayPak, the power going to the relay commons should be fused
•For noisy environments, some guidelines are as follows:
- Replace speed sensing wires with twisted pair from the sensor to the controller
- Consider using isolated sensors (i.e., two terminal) and use twisted pair wiring to connect from the
engine to the controller
When possible, the following enclosure guidelines should be followed:
•It is recommended that vibration mounts be used
•For outdoor applications, it is recommended that a sealed enclosure be used

2.6 Wiring Considerations
The following sections are meant to describe certain wiring configurations and are for illustrative purposes only.
Not all applications are the same. Please ensure that you modify these examples to fit your unique system
requirements.
2.6.1 Remote Start Contact (Start/Stop)
As of firmware version 1.60, the Start/Stop is factory defaulted to switch input B (changeable) and the trigger is
factory defaulted to Close +BAT. For older firmware versions, you must set Start/Stop to Switched Input B or as
desired and set the trigger mode to Close +BAT. The trigger can be set to any of four options but Close +BAT
gives the best immunity to noise.
For runs over 20 ft (6.1 m), especially in noisy environments, Cattron recommends connecting the Start/Stop to
an external relay. The relay needs to be located as close to the controller as possible.
2.6.2 Emergency Stop Wiring
If Emergency Stop functionality is required, it must be an external mushroom-style switch wired in series with the
fuel or ignition supply to ensure reliable and immediate shutdown upon activation.
The following figure shows is an example wiring diagram of a double pole, single throw switch being used to
activate the e-stop input and cut power to the fuel solenoid. In this configuration, the e-stop is activated when
there is an open circuit to the switched input, and it is inactive when the input detects battery positive voltage.

2.6.3 Universal Sensor
Universal Sensors have the ability to be configured to detect different sender types (0-750 Ω, 0-7,500 Ω,
0-5 VDC, 4-20 mA). The examples shown below are advanced applications of the universal sensor.
CAUTION
CUSTOM SENDER TABLES ARE REQUIRED FOR THE UNIVERSAL SENDER TO WORK WITH
THESE EXAMPLES. SEE THE CUSTOM SENDER TABLES SECTION FOR MORE INFORMATION.
ATTENTION
LES TABLEAUX CUSTOM SENDER (EMETTEUR PERSONNALISE) SONT NECESSAIRES POUR
QUE L'EMETTEUR UNIVERSEL FONCTIONNE AVEC CES EXEMPLES. VOIR LA SECTION
CUSTOM SENDER TABLES CUSTOM SENDER TABLES POUR PLUS D'INFORMATIONS.
Example #1: The following example shows the correct way to wire a 4-20 mA sensor. The 240 Ωresistor is
required to transform the 4-20 mA current into the 0-5 V voltage range required by the controller.
4-20 mA Wiring Example
Example #2: Sometimes it is required to measure voltages outside the 0-5 V range allowed by the controller. To
do this you must use a voltage divider with appropriate scaling resistors. The equation to calculate the resistor
values is as follows:
VOUT = (R1/(R1+R2)) × VIN Where: VOUT = 5 V
VIN = Maximum Voltage to Read
R1 = Common Resistor Value > 10 kΩ
R2 = Calculated Resistor Value (select closest common
resistor value)
The following diagram shows the typical wiring of a voltage divider. The resistors’values have been selected to
allow the controller to read up to 36 V from an external battery bank.

0-36 V Wiring Example
CAUTION
A TVS (I.E., VARISTOR) IS REQUIRED IF THE BATTERY IS DIFFERENT THAN THE BATTERY
FROM WHICH THE CONTROLLER IS POWERED. THE CONTROLLER’S TVS CANNOT PROTECT
THE SENSOR INPUT FROM TRANSIENTS IN THIS CASE.
ATTENTION
UN TVS (VARISTANCE) EST NECESSAIRE SI LA BATTERIE EST DIFFERENTE DE CELLE QUI
ALIMENTE LE CONTROLEUR. DANS CE CAS, LE TVS DU CONTROLEUR NE PEUT PAS
PROTEGER L'ENTREE CAPTEUR CONTRE LES TRANSITOIRES.
2.6.4 CANbus Wiring (J1939)
The following table outlines some items that must be taken into consideration when connecting to a CANbus
engine.
Consideration
Description
Bus Termination
Each end of the bus must be terminated from CAN H to CAN L with 120 Ω +/- 10 Ω
resistors. The resistor must be able to handle at least 400 mW of power dissipation.
Cable Selection
A twisted pair 120 Ω impedance cable is required for communications. For better
protection, a shielded twisted pair cable is recommended.
Examples include the following:
•Belden 9841 - Shielded cable with one twisted pair, 24 AWG
•Belden 7895A - Shielded cable with two twisted pair, 20 AWG
For short runs of 5 ft or less, regular 18 AWG wiring can often be run.
Shielding
If using a shielded cable, the shield must be connected to ground on one end of the
bus only. This prevents loss of data from electromagnetic interference.
Termination at the
Controller
The twisted pair cable must terminate no farther than six inches from the controller’s
CAN (J1939) connector. Three inches is ideal.

Communications Wiring
It is common practice to use the fuel output to trigger the ECM key input to enable the ECM before cranking. For
some ECMs to function, they must be powered/enabled for a certain period before cranking to allow time for the
ECM to boot up. There are two ways to provide this time:
•Set a preheat time or increase the preheat time to allow a longer time for the ECM to boot up before
cranking; the fuel output turns on at the start of preheat
•Enable the Auto Power ECM setting in the Communications > CANbus (J1939) menu, which will cause
the fuel output to turn on in Auto Mode and stay on
ECM Wiring
2.6.5 Modbus Wiring
The following table outlines some items that must be taken into consideration when connecting up a Modbus
system.
Consideration
Description
Bus Termination
Each end of the bus must be terminated from A to B with 120 Ω +/- 10 Ω resistors.
The resistor must be able to handle at least 400 mW of power dissipation.
Cable Selection
Shielded twisted pair 120 Ω impedance cable is required for communications.
Shield drain wire is NOT to be used for the RS485 common. The cable must have
one twisted pair for A and B and a separate wire or twisted pair for common.
An example is Belden 7895A, a two twisted pair, 20 AWG, where the second pair
can be used for the RS485 common.
