How It Works

The TIM (Tractor Interface Module) is an intuitive device that that interfaces between the

PeopleNET on board computer and the BatRF wireless TPM sensors.

The TIM ships with the following:

1) A Tractor Interface Module

2) A PeopleNET g3 services interconnect cable

3) Adhesive backed mushroom Velcro and primer to mount the TIM

Installing the Unit

1) Locate the PeopleNET g3 Onboard

computer (OBC).

TIP – Typical mounting locations for the g3

OBC are:

a) behind or under the passenger seat

b) behind or under the driver’s seat

c) For Sleeper Cabs, in the storage area

under the bed accessible from the outside

of the truck.

) Select a mounting location for the TIM. IMPORTANT – The TIM wirelessly communicates with the Airbat TPMS sensors; thus the mounting location must meet the following requirements: ● DO mount the TIM at window height or higher in the cab. ● DON’T mount the TIM where metallic objects are within 1” of the front face next to the upper right hand corner of the box (where the receiving antenna is located).

4) Install the cable between the TIM and the g3 OBC. Attach the serial port to the 9 pin D connector of the TIM unit and tighten the thumb screws. Connect the cable locking DIN connector to the onboard computer g3 services port (black over-molding) and tighten. Both power and serial communications are run through this cable (eliminates the need for a separate power cable). The TIM connects to the PeopleNet On Board Computer (OBC) via a g3 interface cable.

Configuring the PeopleNET g3 Serial Port To allow the BarRF TIM to communicate with the PeopleNET g3 services port, the port must be configured. This is done through the OBC Administration Menu on the display. To configure the port, follow these steps: Step 1: From the main menu select Main and use the down arrow to scroll through the menu options to the bottom of the list. Select “OBC Administration” from the main menu. Step 2: Using the keyboard enter the password, “9238”. Then select “Done”.

Testing the Unit After waiting about 30 seconds after the PN display has powered up …press the UP Arrow until you see a line that says Ok BatRF TPM0 S0 This line is placed on the PN terminal by the BatRF TIM. Every 2.5 seconds the TIM alternates the first character in the line between a space and an “*” or a space and an “!” if there is an error or a low/flat tire. To test the AirBat TIM device after installation turn the power on ……………………………..
