4.3 Device Installation
Before installing the device, please make sure device has been configured with
necessary parameters including network parameters and working mode.
Park the car and make sure engine is off, align the OBD connector of the device with
the engine diagnostic port and simply push in place, ensuring the device is secure.
There comes one beep indicating device is power on.
If the OBD port cover can not be closed back after device plugged in, please use OBD
extension cable and mount the device in proper place.

IDD-213E User Manual
Some heavy duties may need 9-Pin or 6-Pin deutsch wiring harness.
For vehicles do not have an OBD port, please use power cable to connect vehicle
battery and configure the device with tracker mode.
Start engine, then device starts OBD communication, acquiring GPS info and Cellular
network connection. Various status can be indicated by lights and beeps.
OBD communication: The OBD light change its status to solid on and comes 2 beeps
with successful OBD communication.
GPS function: The GPS light becomes blinking indicates that device has got its
location.
Cellular connection: The Cellular light change its status to slow blinking indicates
registered network, becomes solid on and comes 3 beeps indicate logged into the
server.
Note:
*Firmware below V2.2.2: When working with passenger or heavy duty mode, if OBD light keeps
blinking and comes 6 beeps it means that device is not compatible with the vehicle, please change
working mode. If it does not work with both passenger and heavy duty modes please change to
tracker mode. To change working mode: 1) Remove the device, configure with PC Tool and install
again. Or, 2) Send SMS *secretkey#set workmode#mode*, secretkey is the last 6 digits of device ID
13

IDD-213E User Manual
as default, mode can be passenger or heavyduty or tracker, device will reboot and work with
configured working mode. SMS should be sent within 10 minutes after device plugged in, or it will
go into sleep. With tracker mode, diagnostic functions are not provided, device simply gets power
from OBD port. When plugged in there comes 6 beeps indicating it is working with tracker mode,
if engine keeps off or idle state device will go into sleep after 3 minutes.
*Firmware V2.2.2 and above: When device is the first time power on (plugged in), it will scan OBD
protocol according to pre-configured working mode (ie, passenger car or heavy duty mode), the
maximum scanning time can be up to 10 minutes, if no OBD protocol is detected during this
period, device will auto change working mode to tracker mode, if OBD protocol is detected,
device will keep its working mode. After auto scanning period device will not change working
mode anymore even it is re-plugged, unless working mode is re-configured with PC Tool, via
SMS, or from server. If tracker mode is pre-configured device will not scan OBD protocol and keep
working with tracker mode unless working mode is re-configured. There comes 6 beeps indicating
that device is working with tracker mode.
*If GPS does not work, please use OBD extension cable and mount the device in a proper place to
make sure GPS signal can be well received.
*If dashboard lights are abnormal after installation, please remove the device and contact Al
Tareeq technical team.


SAE J1850-VPW

ISO 9141-2

5.2 Location Inquiry
Upon receiving location inquiry message from server or via SMS, device reports GPS
data immediately.
5.3 Regular GPS data reporting
GPS data can be sampled by 3 means: by time interval, by distance or by heading
change. They can be enabled or disabled separately, only sampled by time interval is
enabled by default.
The sample rate for time interval can be 2-600s and default setting is 30s, for distance
interval can be 50-5000m and default setting is 500m, for heading change can be 5-
90°and default setting is 15°.
There can be single or several groups of GPS data in one GPS message, determined
by groups of GPS data per message, device will not report GPS message until it has
collected specified groups of GPS data. Groups of GPS data per message can be 1-30
and default setting is 1.
For example, sampled by time interval and sampled by distance are enabled, and the
respective settings are 10s and 500m, groups of GPS data per message is 5. Assume
that vehicle is running at speed of 72km/h (20m/s), then it takes 25s to run out of
500m, so GPS data are sampled at 10th, 20th, 25th, 30th, 40th second and reported at
40th second as 5 groups of GPS data have been collected at that time.
16

IDD-213E User Manual
The suggested minimal interval for GPS report is 10s. For example, if only sampled by
time interval is enabled, then the settings might be 10s of sample rate and 1 group of
GPS data per message, or 5s of sample rate and 2 groups of GPS data per message.
5.4 Regular G-Sensor Data Reporting
Device reports G-Sensor data (g-value of X/Y/Z axis) according to configured time
interval, this function is disabled by default.
The sample rate can be 200-6000ms and default setting is 1000ms.
There can be single or several groups of G-Sensor data in one G-Sensor message,
determined by groups of G-Sensor data per message, device will not report G-Sensor
message until it has collected specified groups of G-Sensor data. Groups of G-Sensor
data per message can be 50-100 and default setting is 100.
5.5 Regular Diagnostic Data Reporting
Device is able to read variety of vehicle diagnostic data, also called PID (parameter
ID), including vehicle speed, engine RPM, engine coolant temperature, mass flow air,
etc, and report up to 10 types of PID data according to configured time interval. The
sample rate can be 2-600s and default setting is 60s.
There can be single or several groups of PID data in one PID message, determined by
groups of PID data per message, device will not report PID message until it has
collected specified groups of PID data. Groups of PID data per message can be 1-30
and default setting is 1.
The suggested minimal interval for PID report is 10s, for example, 10s of sample rate
and 1 group of PID data per message, or 5s of sample rate and 2 groups of PID data
per message.
5.6 DTCs Reporting
Device is able to read vehicle pending and stored DTCs (diagnostic trouble code), and
freeze frame data. The backend server analyzes and displays the DTCs for users on
time to avoid high repairing cost.
5.7 Cell ID Reporting
Device reports Cell ID every 30 seconds when it loses GPS signal, this function is
disabled by default.
17

IDD-213E User Manual
5.8 GPS Data Reporting in Sleep Mode
Device reports GPS data according to configured time interval during sleep. The time
interval can be 10-1440min and default setting is 60min.
5.9 Data storage/Supplementary Report in Dead zones
When there is no Cellular signal or Cellular signal is poor, GPS information are stored,
and reported after signal recovery. Supplementary report can be last for 15 minutes
at most after ignition is off.
5.10 Trip Mileage
Device reports driving mileage in each reported message.
5.11 Trip Fuel Consumption
Device reports fuel consumption in each reported message.
