1Introduction
The TOUGH-Link Remote Intelligence Gateway unit TL-3600 is a mobile device
that resides in private, commercial or government industrial engine equipment. The TL-
3600 is a single box enclosure incorporating a processor, a GPS receiver, a wireless
data modem, and a vehicle-rated power supply. The TL-3600 also supports inputs and
outputs to monitor and react to the equipment environment and/or operator actions.
The TL-3600 collects, stores and transmits equipment and location data over a
designated wireless network including LTE and HSPA. Equipment and location data are
transmitted to a customized software application that has been designed to receive,
acknowledge, process, store, and respond to this data. Unit location and equipment
information is sent at pre-determined intervals, on demand, or when pre-programmed
equipment conditions are met. Transmission of data are sent immediately when in
wireless network coverage and stored for later transmission when out of the wireless
coverage area. SMS messaging can be used as an alternative or redundant
communication backup.
The TL-3600 is designed to support a variety of custom applications starting with
basic automatic equipment monitoring, third party security monitoring, dynamic reporting
routines, and an array of exception alerts.
Typical installations include hook-up to power, ignition, and ground. TL-3600s
and the corresponding wiring are almost always hidden from view and general access.
Placement of the units is usually within enclosures or on top of equipment canopies.

2.2 General Wiring Instructions
Following are the important wiring guidelines to be followed:
TL-3600 contains a TVS to protect I/Os and internals from a transient on a main battery
(the battery the TL-3600 is powered from). If you have I/O connected to other batteries or
power supplies, those I/Os must contain their own voltage transient protection. Otherwise
the I/O and/or TL-3600 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.
Fusing: A fuse should be placed in line with the battery +ve wire going to the TL-3600 unit
power. A 10 A fuse is suggested.

3.1 Preparation
TL-3600 Components needed:
TL-3600 to be installed
Power Harness
34-pin I/O connector
Optional components:
o Input and Output cables
o Relays
3.2 Protection from heat
It is best not to place the TL-3600 unit in an unusually warm location such as directly
near heater vents, near hot engine components or in direct sunlight.

3.3 Size and placement of TL-3600 Unit
The dimensions of the TL-3600 should be taken into account, particularly when installing:
When you intend to place the TL-3600, be sure that it will fit before drilling any
holes or running cable
Be certain that the cables running to the TL-3600 will not be bent or constricted.
Damage to the cables may impede the TL-3600’s performance.
Be certain that the installation point will not violate any of the TL-3600’s
environmental specification (Temperature, moisture, etc…) as improper installation
of the TL-3600 may void the warranty.
3.4 Replacement of SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) Card
When used in a LTE or HSPA, each TL-3600 uses a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)
card, which is already installed in TL-3600. The SIM card is attached to the main-board
inside the housing of the TL unit.
At some future time, you might need or want to replace the SIM card with a different one,
so try to install the TL-3600 in such a way that the cover can be removed to make the
SIM card accessible.
There are 6 Torx screws that attach the cover to the case. The cover houses the
connector. The whole PCB board slides out and the SIM holder is on the PCB board.
The cover can be removed without unmounting the device from the asset. It is sealed
with a gasket that is reusable. Screw driver required is TORX T8.

3.5 Placement of Combination and Internal Access
When dealing with combination antennas such as the internal antennas in the TL-3600, it
is more important to consider GPS performance over cellular communications
performance. GPS signal strengths are much lower than those typically seen by cellular
networks supported by the TL3600. In order to maximize the performance, the TL-3600
should have as a clear view of the sky as possible. When installing the GPS antenna in a
system, make sure that there are as few obstructions as possible close to the TL-3600
that might block the view 360° to the horizon. As with stand-alone GPS antennas,
nothing should not block the combination antenna beyond 5° above the horizon with the
best location being near the center of the canopy.
Normally the TL-3600 label should be oriented with the label facing upwards toward the
sky. It is not recommended to mount the TL-3600 perpendicular to the horizon but it may
be acceptable depending on the unit has a good view of the sky. It is recommended to
run few tests on the actual engine equipment based on the LED lights (GREEN) and see
how long it takes to go SOLID in different orientations or by measuring the signal
strength using the serial port on the TL-3600.
3.6 Backup Battery
The TTU-3640™ supports a Lithium-Ion 1000 mAh backup battery input to be used when
primary power is lost; the supported voltage range is 9 to 16 VDC.
3.7 Warranty
