Introduction
This manual contains technical documentation which allows for easy installation and use of the
RTCU MX2 turbo unit. For information on the programming and software configuration of the
RTCU MX2 turbo please refer to the RTCU IDE documentation.
The RTCU MX2 turbo adds a new chapter to the highly successful era of the MX2 series, which
were originally launched in 2006 as the first member in the X32 architecture generation of RTCU
products. The RTCU MX2 turbo is offering a long range of new features and performance
improvements while still resting on the proven track-record and confidence of the MX2 series.
The RTCU MX2 turbo uses the next generation NX32 execution model and is fully backward
compatible with the X32 execution model of the former MX2 series. Existing software will
therefore be able to operate without any changes or costly re-testing.
Mechanically and electrically the MX2 turbo is fully back-ward compatible with the RTCU MX2
pro/pro+ and constitutes therefore a direct plug-in replacement.
The RTCU MX2 turbo is designed for a broad variety of advanced telemetry / telematics
applications and has been designed according to the highest technical standards for professional
automotive and industrial use. The product has all necessary regulatory approvals –including
2004/104/EC / UN ECE R10 –edition 3 and CE mark.
The advanced power-management features on the RTCU MX2 turbo combined with the on-board
high-capacity Li-Ion battery allows the unit to stay in power-saving mode for a longer period still
being connected to the GSM network and capable of waking up on for example GSM activity,
change of digital inputs or a vibration sensor.
For demanding applications, the RTCU MX2 turbo offers GSM 3G/HSDPA, and the positioning is
enhanced with a state-of-the-art GNSS receiver with GPS and GLONASS support.
The RTCU MX2 turbo rests on the RTCU M2M Platform that brings all the necessary tools
together to develop, implement and maintain today’s sophisticated M2M/IoT applications.
For detailed information on the powerful RTCU M2M Platform, please refer to the
RTCU M2M Platform datasheet.

External connections
Overview
Connections to external equipment are done via the connectors located on the back and front of the
RTCU MX2 turbo.
The front panel is equipped with connectors commonly accessed by the user: SIM-Card, SD-
CARD, DIP-Switch, Headset, LED’s and RS232.
The back panel holds all connectors necessary for installation: 4-pin (X1) power and ignition, 6-pin
(X4) for RS232/Programming, 12-pin (X2) for different communication interfaces and a 16-pin (X3)
for analog and digital I/O. Connection to the GSM antenna is via a SMA female, and connection to
a 3V active GNSS antenna is done via the SMB male connector. Both antenna connectors are
located on the back panel.

Power supply
The RTCU MX2 turbo device must be supplied with 8..36 VDC from an external DC power source
connected to the X1 connector. Positive power is applied to the SUPP pin, and ground is connected
to the PGND pin.
The connector has two “SUPP” supply pins as these also supplies power to the digital outputs. If
the total current consumption on the digital outputs exceeds 5A, then power must be applied to
both pins. Otherwise one pin is sufficient.
There are three different labels for the ground connections:
•Power Ground (PGND)
•Signal Ground (SGND)
•Analog Ground (AGND)
The signal and analog grounds are filtered from the power ground. Power ground must only be
used as power supply return path. The signal ground is used as ground reference for digital I/O’s
and serial interfaces, and the analog ground is used as a low noise analog ground reference for the
analog inputs.
The RTCU is protected against wrong polarity. If a chassis or system ground is connected to either
SGND or AGND, a wrong polarity on the supply lines will destroy the internal GND connection.
For avoidance of such a scenario, a fuse can be installed on the positive supply.
The RTCU also contains an internal high capacity backup battery which will supply the RTCU if
the external power supply fails or is disconnected. By default, the RTCU is powered down when a
power fail occurs. This setting, however, can be changed. Please consult the RTCU IDE on-line
help for more information. The display will automatically turn off when external power is
removed.
Disabling the external DC power from the application interface and forcing the device to operate
on the internal backup battery is supported. Please consult the RTCU IDE documentation for
additional information.
When the ignition input is activated with a logical high, the RTCU unit will wake-up if it was in
power down mode. The ignition input (digital input 5) is available on the power connector to
minimize the need for connectors in minimal installations, but it is also available on the X3
connector (digital I/O and analog Inputs) - only one should be used at a time.
