1. Figure Main components of the Inventure Trailer ID system
The Inventure Trailer ID system consists of a Trailer Sender unit installed in the rear junction
box of the trailer and a Receiver module which provides RS232 compatible level serial or an
HS-CAN output.
Installation is easy and basically no maintenance is needed since no batteries are installed,
Trailer ID runs on the electricity of the trailer’s brake lamp. When the trailer is coupled to the
tractor and the brake lamp is ignited, the Sender unit transfers the identification number to
the Receiver module as seen on the illustration above.
We designed Trailer ID so that it is compatible with any brand and make and it supports 2
trailer units at the same time. For correct installation please refer to our installation guide and
manuals.

5 Installation
5.1 Trailer ID Sender unit
The Sender unit has to be installed on the trailer unit. For more specific information on the
install process please refer to our installation guide, which is available at Inventure Support
([e-mail] ).
5.2 Trailer ID Receiver module
The Trailer ID Receiver module goes inside the cabin of the tractor unit ideally somewhere
near to your AVL device (that can also be installed outside of the cabin in case of radio
interference). The device needs a connection to the massive ground (31) and ignition (15) as
power supply. The brake wire signal junction point has to be found and connected as well.
Because every truck is different, type-specific installation guides will be available in the future
for your reference.
