1)Introduction
The Tethered Trailer Tracks (TT100) mobile communication terminals system is an option that
allows dispatch to monitor trailer connects and disconnects. Connects and disconnects are
detected by the IVG or MCP (except MCP50) and passed on to the host with the date, time,
and location. The Trailer Tracks system can also monitor the refrigeration unit of a trailer. This
feature works as an early warning system should the trailer temperature fall outside specific
user-defined values.
Supported Hardware
•Omnitracs Intelligent Vehicle Gateway (IVG)
•Omnitracs Mobile Computing Platforms (MCP200, MCP110, MCP100)
Note: The MCP50 is not supported.
Firmware Requirements
To fully support Trailer Tracks, you must meet the following requirements for the system
you are using:
• IVG - Firmware version DA0215R or higher
• MCP200, MCP110, MCP100 - All firmware versions support Trailer Tracks

2)Fuse Kit Installation
To install the fuse kit, follow these steps:
1. Locate the blue AUX wire in the 7-way trailer receptacle. With ignition turned on,
determine if +12 /+24 VDC is present on this wire.
•If +12/24 volts is present, proceed to step 2.
•If +12/24 volts is not present, first verify that the main aux fuse is not blown. If no
circuit exists, then connect ignition-switched +12/24 volts from the fuse panel to the
trailer auxiliary line. The trailer auxiliary wire must be protected by a 30-amp fuse or
a circuit breaker. Proceed to step 2.
2. Locate the trailer auxiliary wire connection point. The trailer auxiliary wire connection
point should be located just where the trailer auxiliary wire enters the truck cab. This
location will provide the best Trailer Tracks signal strength while ensuring a connection
that is protected from the environment.
3. Install 5-amp fuse on the blue TTRACS wire.
4. Butt splice the protected end of the 5-amp fuse to the trailer auxiliary wire connection
point.

3)Installing the TT100 on the Trailer
TT100 Transmitter Installation
Use these installation instructions for the TT100 transmitter (with refrigeration cable) and TT100
dry van monitoring (without refrigeration cable).
1. Mount the Trailer Tracks transmitter on the front of the trailer near the trailer’s 7-pin
“pigtail” power receptacle using the supplied pop-rivets.
2. Connect the white ground wire from the Trailer Tracks transmitter to pin 1. Connect the
blue +12/24 VDC transmitter signal wire to pin 7 on the 7-way receptacle. Check that all
connections are secure, wires are fastened, and cables will not rub against the trailer or
be damaged in any way. For dry van monitoring, installation is complete at step 2. For
reefer monitoring, continue to the
Refrigeration Unit Connection

1. Connect the refrigeration unit interface cable. One end plugs into the transmitter and
the other end plugs into the refrigeration unit.

2. Connect the refrigeration power to transmitter. If the trailer will be connected to
tractors that have switched power on pin 7 and it is necessary to monitor the
refrigeration unit when the switched power is off, connect the optional power wires on
the refrigeration interface cable to the main power of the refrigeration unit. Be sure the
blue wire from the refrigeration adapter cable is connected to ground and the orange
wire is connected to switched +12/24 volts.
Note: It is important to connect the orange wire to the non-battery side of the master switch, so
that when the master switch is off, so is the power to the transmitter.
