Introduction
This document contains the installation guide for the (GSM / LTE cat-M1 / NB2-IOT / GNSS / BLE)
product type series TU600B units. This manual is intended for use by system integrators, service
providers and application developers (collectively, “Resellers”). It is not intended for end-users of
the TU600B. Any end-user documentation is to be prepared and furnished by the resellers.
This manual covers the TU600B with 60.012 and later firmware operating on:
 2G bands [850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1800 MHz and 1900 MHz] Global System for Mobile
communication (GSM) networks.
 LTE bands [700 MHz, 800 MHz, 850 MHz, 900 MHz, 1700 MHz, 1800 MHz, 1900 MHz,
2100 MHz] LTE M1/NB2 IOT networks.
 Data and Event Reporting support is by Short Message Service (SMS), General Packet
Radio Service (GPRS), or both.
This manual describes how to set up, configure, install, operate, and troubleshoot the product.
Even if you have used other GSM, LTE cat-M1 / NB2- IOT or Global Positioning System (GPS)
products before, Trackunit recommends that you spend some time reading this manual to learn
about the special features of this product.
Trackunit assumes that you are familiar with Microsoft Windows.
Related Information
The Trackunit web site is found at www.trackunit.com. This site links to the fleet management
system from Trackunit APS called Trackunit Manager. TU600B devices are integrated to Trackunit
but can also be used together with third part system providers.
Safety first
Simple Guidelines
Please follow these guidelines when configuring, using or recycling the TU600B. Violating these
guidelines may be dangerous, illegal or otherwise detrimental. Further detailed information is
provided in this manual.
Do Not Operate Where Prohibited
Do not allow the TU600B unit to operate wherever wireless phone use is prohibited or when doing
so may cause interference or danger. The TU600B cannot be turned off after installation, so any
vehicle, moving machinery, construction machinery using TU600B etc. must not enter areas where
it is prohibited to operate wireless phones as the device periodically turns on the transmitter in a
short period of time to perform tracking reporting.
Examples include but are not limited to operation in hospitals, aircrafts, near blasting sites or
wherever operation can cause interference.

TU600B
Trackunit TU600B, Technical Manual v1.0, March 2022 Page 10
Interference
Like all wireless devices, the TU600B may encounter electrical interference that may affect its
performance.
Avoid Body Contact with Device during Operation
Do not operate the TU600B in direct contact with your body. Maintain at least 8 inches (20 cm)
separation between the device and any parts of your body.
Qualified Service
Except for batteries and Subscriber Identification Module (SIM) card, the TU600B contains no user
serviceable or replaceable parts. Non-functioning units must be returned to an authorized service
center for repair or replacement.
Accessories and Batteries
Use only Trackunit approved accessories or batteries. Do not connect incompatible products.
The battery package is a Trackunit design, no other battery designs are compatible with the battery
holder of the TU600B. There is risk of explosion or fire if an incorrect type replacement battery is
forced into the battery holder as contact may generate a short circuit. Additionally, the battery
holder will be destroyed.
Do not exceed the temperature ranges or other environmental conditions specified by the battery
manufacturer, see battery safety chapter below. Dispose of used batteries according to the
instructions provided with the batteries.
Water-Resistance
The TU600B series is water-resistant according to the IP-67 standard. It is however recommended
that it is be used where it is relatively dry and not subjected to either water streams or submersion.
Mounted inside the HW shield a higher water-resistance level to IP-66k and IP 69k can be
achieved.
Detailed Safety Information
Exposure to Radio Frequency Signals
The TU600B unit is a low power radio transmitter and receiver. Periodically the TU600B wakes up
either due to activity or by a timer. When it is ON, it receives and sends out radio frequency (RF)
signals for a short period of time when awake.

TU600B
Trackunit TU600B, Technical Manual v1.0, March 2022 Page 11
The TU600B unit is designed for vehicular use only.
Electronic Devices
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF signals. However, certain electronic
equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals generated by the TU600B unit.
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”)
inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential
interference with the pacemaker. The following precautions apply:
 The TU600B unit is not intended for handheld use or to be worn on the body.
 It is always recommended that a minimum separation of 8” inches (20 cm) to be maintained
between the TU600B unit and any persons’ body after end user installation.
Other Medical Devices
If any other personal medical devices are used in the vicinity of a TU600B unit, consult the
manufacturers of the medical devices to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Physicians may be able to assist in obtaining this information.
The TU600B unit cannot be turned off after installation, so any vehicle, moving machinery,
construction machinery installed with the TU600B etc. must not operate near health care facilities
when any regulations posted in these areas prohibit the use of wireless phones or two-way radios.
Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF
energy.
Vehicles
RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor
vehicles. Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding the vehicle. Also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to the vehicle.
The TU600B unit cannot be turned off after
installation; however, the unit is mostly asleep waiting
for either the wake-up timer or activity on the
acceleration sensor.
The unit operation can continue for approximately 3 to
4 days depending on the charging state of the backup
battery.

TU600B
Trackunit TU600B, Technical Manual v1.0, March 2022 Page 12
Posted Facilities
The TU600B unit cannot be turned off after installation, so any vehicle, moving machinery,
construction machinery installed with the TU600B etc. must not enter any facility where posted
notices prohibit the use of wireless phones or two-way radios.
Aircrafts
FCC and FAA regulations prohibit using wireless phones while in the air. Do not carry the TU600B
unit aboard an aircraft as it cannot be turned off.
Potentially Explosive Atmospheres
The TU600B unit cannot be turned off after installation, so any vehicle, moving machinery,
construction machinery installed with TU600B etc. must not enter any area with a potentially
explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Additionally, the TU600B must not enter or in areas posted “turn off two-way radio” to avoid
interfering with blasting operations. Obey all signs and instructions.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always marked clearly. Potential
areas may include: fueling areas (such as gasoline stations); below deck on boats; fuel or chemical
transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane);
areas where the air contains chemicals or particles (such as grain, dust, or metal powders); and
any other area where it would normally be advisable to turn off motor vehicle engines it is not
allowed to enter with a vehicle, moving machinery, construction machinery installed with the
TU600B.
For Vehicles Equipped with an Airbag
An airbag inflates with great force. DO NOT place objects, including the TU600B unit, in the area
over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If in vehicle wireless equipment is improperly
installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.

Battery Safety Information
Adhere to the following guidelines to avoid the risk of fire or explosion:
1. Dispose of the used battery according to the instructions provided with the battery.
2. Do not drop, puncture, disassemble, mutilate, or incinerate the battery.
3. Touching both terminals of a battery with a metal object will short circuit the battery.
Do not carry batteries loosely if the contacts may touch coins, keys, and other metal
objects (such as in pockets or bags).
4. Do not stack batteries taken out of the carry case.
5. Do not heat the batteries to try to rejuvenate their charge.
6. Do not exceed the temperature ranges or other environmental conditions specified by
the battery manufacturer when handling replacement batteries.
7. Never install and use the TU600B without the battery cover installed.
8. The TU600B can operate solely on the vehicle’s battery without the internal backup
battery installed. It is recommended to remove the battery under long term exposure
to extreme environmental conditions above +60°C and below -20°C.
Automatic battery safety during operation
For operational safety the battery inside the TU600B is under constant environmental temperature
control providing the following automatic battery safety.
 The battery can only be charged within the specified temperature range 0°C to +45°C. For
temperatures outside the range 0°C to 45°C, the battery charging circuit is disabled.
 The TU600B operates solely from the internal backup battery supply voltage when the
external supply voltages is turned off or experiencing failure. The internal backup battery is
limited to operate in the temperature range from -20°C to 60°C. If the temperature is
outside this range the battery is disabled.
 When TU600B is operated from an external supply voltage the battery is put into storage
from temperatures above +45°C and below -20°C.
 If the battery is fully charged and the temperature is within 0°C to 45°C a maintenance
charging is applied.
 For long term storage in extreme temperatures below -20°C and above +50°C it is
recommended to remove the battery from TU600B. The battery safety ensures that there is
no risk* associated with the battery in the temperature range from -40°C to +70°C but the
battery lifetime can be seriously affected or even lead to internal permanent damage of the
battery.
* The risks are: No leakage, No venting, No disassembly, No rupture or No fire.

Delivered standard content
The delivered standard package content includes the following items:
1 x (GSM / LTE cat-M1 / cat BN2 / GPS/GLONASS)-unit of the model type TU600B
1 x Mounting cradle.
1 x Li-ion Battery PN 4233.0002 or PN4233.0002 (May already be mounted inside the TU600B
unit)
Optional content for generic installation:
1 x Fuse with fuse holder for installation up to 24V DC/ (Max 1A) for TU600B units delivered
with open cable ends. For installation in systems with higher voltages than 24V it is
recommended to use a fuse and fuse holder rated for the specific supply voltage range, see
service chapter for compliant fuse holders.
NOTE: Fuse and fuse holder is not included in packages where the TU600B is fitted with a
customer required connector from factory.
NOTE: In case the unit is delivered with SIM card from the factory (Either US, EU SIM card or
E-SIM as indicated on the product label), then the GSM/LTE cat-M1/cat-NB2 number
will be indicated on the delivery note as well as on the package itself.
NOTE: In case the SIM card is delivered from factory it is mounted inside the TU600B unit.
Ready-to-Use, No Custom Programming Required
Simply connect the unit to supply voltage (12V/24V/48V DC). In its default configuration, reports
are sent nominally at 15-minute intervals or faster whenever there is motion.
Upon powering up, the device will self-initialize anywhere in the world and start transmitting if an
authorized GSM network is available. While a basic understanding of the different TU600B
operational states is helpful, configuring the TU600B unit does not require a highly skilled software
programmer or technician.
Cost-effective, Universally Available Communications
The TU600B unit takes advantage of the near universal availability of GSM/LTE M1/NB IOT SMS
text messaging while also leveraging cost-effective GPRS data rate plans.
Typical SMS plans offer very extensive inter-network roaming capabilities, both within a host
country and internationally.
SMS plans also tend to be too pricey for applications requiring more than a few reports per day.
GPRS data plans, on the other hand, typically allow for lower recurring communication costs
although GPRS coverage and roaming can be restricted in some areas.
The TU600B unit takes advantage of both technologies by automatically selecting GPRS wherever
such service is available, while relying upon SMS text messages for configuration purpose only.
This helps minimize recurring communication costs while allowing the greatest coverage possible.

Installing the unit
Use location – Children not likely to be present
This equipment design typically applies to commercial or industrial equipment expected to be
installed in locations where only adults are normally present.
Practical installation advice
 It is very important to be careful when installing the unit, as incorrect installation will
reduce the quality of the GPS position reports (Ex. Could be a jump in position or
showing speed while parking) or in the worst-case scenario will prevent the unit
performing any position reporting at all.
 The unit must be mounted either horizontally or vertically (sideways) using either screws or
strips. The unit must not be installed with the interface/supply cable hanging down, as this
will reduce the GPS sensitivity.
Optimize the placement of the unit to increase the aerial view (through windows etc.) as
much as possible. For hiding the unit, make sure it is only mounted beneath plastic parts or
similar parts (wood), but not beneath metal parts.
 To reduce hum and noise in the FM radio it is recommended to place the unit at a minimum
distance of 20 inches (50 cm) from the radio or the loudspeakers.
Installation for insurance and anti-theft purpose
For an installation of the TU600B with respect to insurance coverage of equipment/items/vehicles
etc. in your country/region please contact your nearest sales office for support as the TU600B
installation must be registered and documented for the local insurance company, the associated
local alarm center.
The installation position in multiple equipment/items/vehicles etc. of the same type must be insured
to be random to increase the theft protection.
It is needed to sign up a different subscription for each installed TU600B unit under insurance
coverage that covers the local alarm center administration of the units.
The local sales office will be able to inform you about the obligations that you have in relation to the
insurance company and how to act in relation to the alarm center while the units are covered by
the insurance.
The unit must NOT be installed beneath metal plates or
inside closed metal compartments. Incorrect installation will
also reduce the standby time of the battery inside the
unit

Power supply
The unit must be connected to either +12V, +24V battery voltage through a 1A/32V fuse or +36V,
+48V battery through 3A/80V fuse. The use of a fused supply wire is important for not damaging
the wires related to the unit in case of a short circuit etc.
Digital inputs
The activation of a digital input requires a minimum high-level voltage of 9,5V.
Digital output
The digital output has the type indication” LO-side switch”, that connects the output to 0V “ground”,
when the output is active. This output can be used to control a relay powered from an external DC
supply voltage. The maximum current drawn from the output is 200mA.
The output is protected against short circuits, overload and is also protected against over voltage.
For further information about connection possibilities of the digital output, see chapters about
installation later in this manual.
Motion/acceleration sensor
The unit has a built-in 3 axis acceleration sensor that can activate the unit if it, as a consequence
of disconnected supply voltage, is in stand-by mode (theft protection), log accelerometer data (for
analyzing shock and machine behavior) or configured as a tilt-sensor.
CAN interface
TU600 is equipped with a built-in CAN Controller.
Protocols supported: SAE J1939 and CANopen. The CAN interface is Fully Compliant with CAN 2
Part A and 2 Part B. Eight independent message objects (mailboxes) are implemented, and

TU600B
Trackunit TU600B, Technical Manual v1.0, March 2022 Page 17
Controller supports Bit Rates up to 1 Mbit/s.
Physical Interface specification as referred to by ISO/11898-2. 120R CAN termination optional:
Mounted, Not Mounted or controlled by Firmware (CAN configuration).
The CAN Interface is only operational when supply voltage (12V / 24V / 48V) is present. Interface
cannot operate on internal battery alone.
M8 Connector: 1-Wire input
The M8 3 pole connector contains 3 signals: 1-wire bus, 5V and Ground.
The 1-wire is designed to communicate with Maxim 1-wire parts. Ex. Digital Thermometer
(Temperature logging) or Maxim ibutton Keys/tags (Access Control).
The 1-wire input is only operational when supply voltage (12V / 24V / 48V) is present. Interface
cannot operate on internal battery alone.
Installing the TU600B as to surpass the main switch on the machine.
In case the main switch on the machine will break the negative wire (Ground wire), the inputs may
register a voltage level and start counting operating hours. To avoid this situation the digital input 4
(Pink wire) should be connected to the chassis/ground on the machine. Then send the following
SMS to the unit (phone number) to activate the filtering:
Function
Send SMS
Return
-
SMS from the unit
Activate filter function on inputs. MT INFILT ON MTC ACK (SERIAL No.) INFILT ON
NOTE: Enabling the filtering function will disable the use of the digital input 4 as a normal input.
NOTE: It is recommended always to connect digital input 2 to the ignition signal of the vehicle
or machine.
NOTE: For the “Send SMS” it is of no importance if small or capital letters are used in the
command string, or a mixture hereof.
Wireless connectivity: Bluetooth LE
The TU600B can operate in Bluetooth LE band for access control, device configuration and asset
tracking.
The TU600B will operate on a BT LE radio wave system when assessed by a paired unit i.e.
cellphone. When connected the cellphone can be used as a mean for access control to the
vehicles, machinery etc. on which the TU600B is physically installed.
In addition to the use case described above the TU600B can also be requested to passive scan for
BLE advertisements and thereby enable assert tracking.
