MCP200 Overview
How the MCP200 Works
MCP200 Overview
MCP200 is a high bandwidth mobile computing platform designed to help increase customer
service, reduce operating costs, enhance driver productivity, and ensure vehicle safety.
MCP200 offers multi-mode transmissions (terrestrial and WiFi are standard, satellite is
optional); and delivers more processing power on the mobile unit, an increased number of
hardware ports, and a Windows® Embedded Standard operating system.
Data transmitted through the MCP200 is backward compatible and interoperable with the
host, so customers can access information across various Omnitracs platforms, such as MCP
100 Series, OmniTRACS Mobile Computing System, OmniExpress Mobile Computing
System, and Untethered Asset Management Service.
Why MCP200 Makes Companies More Efficient
• Companies can maintain two-way contact with their vehicles and drivers 24 hours a day.
• Dispatchers can send pickup and delivery information directly to drivers, keeping vehicles
on the road.
• Text-to-speech alerts drivers of incoming notifications and their importance, so drivers can
choose to immediately listen to notifications without pulling off the road.
• Dispatchers know when vehicles are expected to arrive at locations, and can pass that
information on to customers.
• Provides dispatchers with vehicle location and position history information by tracking the
location of each MCP200 using latitude and longitude or distance and direction from
landmarks (usually large towns and cities).
• Drivers can inform the dispatcher of road conditions or problems.
• Optional applications allow monitoring of driver performance, engine diagnostics, trailer
locations, refrigeration status, and critical event reporting.
• Decision support software enables customers to optimize assets and inform shippers and
consignees of load status.
• Over-the-air software upgrades allow drivers to remain on the road rather than having to
stop at service centers.
• Display interface unit 200 (DIU200) provides a color graphical display, with a sliding
keyboard that integrates touchscreen functionality, extended temperature range, and
improved clarity for delivering critical information to drivers.
• Hours of service data ensures regulatory compliance.
• On-board navigation application provides truck-specific route mappings.
• International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) simplifies fuel reporting for inter-state operations.
• Helps with safety and accident prevention.
• Optimizes fuel management.

CDMA Wireless Network
How the MCP200 Works
Code Division Multiple
Access (CDMA)
Wireless Network
• Radio frequency (RF) signals are received from the
antenna by the MCP200 via the wireless interface box
(WIB200) from a wireless communication network.
Optional Data Satellite
• Handles all two-way information traffic between the
vehicle and the NMC if you are using a satellite data
modem (SDM).
GPS Positioning Satellites
• Uses 24 satellites to provide vehicle positioning
information.
Mobile Computing Platform
200 (MCP200)
• Driver’s interface with the Omnitracs platform and the
component that resides in the vehicle.
• Allows the driver to send and receive information.
• The MCP200 includes the MAS200, which consists primarily of a microprocessor, a
wireless modem module, and data storage.
• The user interface device (DIU200) is the driver’s display terminal that enables the driver
to read, write, and send information.
• The antenna (located inside the WIB200) relays information between dispatch and the
driver.
• The antenna receives and transmits wireless information to and from the MAS200.
• The antenna interfaces with wireless networks. Information is passed through the
Omnitracs NOC where it is distributed to the dispatch center. Dispatchers respond by
sending a message back to the Omnitracs NOC, where it is relayed to the PCS gateway
and broadcast out to the wireless network to be picked up by the vehicle’s antenna.
CDMA Wireless Network
• MCP200 uses CDMA technology to connect dispatchers and vehicles over the wireless
airwaves.
• Wherever a cellular/terrestrial wireless network exists, drivers can send information to and
receive information from dispatchers while traveling.
• Utilizes wireless digital roaming to enable many cellular networks.
WiFi Network
• A wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed
internet and network connections.
• The MCP200 will transmit and allow access to the internet when within range (“hotspot”
area) of a specified wireless network.
• Uses IEEE 802.11 standards.

Making Electrical Connections
General Wiring and Installation Guidelines
Making Electrical Connections
Approved Omnitracs Electrical Connectors
The only Omnitracs-approved electrical connectors are crimp butt splices and crimp ring
terminals. Omnitracs recommends Nylon insulated, seamless butt connectors with inspection
windows. Heat-shrinkable butt connectors are preferred. When butt splicing multiple wires on
one end of a butt splice and a different number of wires on the other end, step-down butt
splices are recommended.
WARNING
Not following proper wiring guidelines and using improper crimps and butt splices
may cause intermittent connections and may result in unexpected truck down time or
system failure.
Wire Stripping
Caution
Use care in stripping wires. Vibration can cause nicked wires to fail. Using wire
cutters, knives, or other tools can damage the conductor wire and/or insulation.
Knowing and following proper wire stripping techniques is essential for performing successful
and safe electrical connections of all system components.
1.
Using a wire stripper, strip approximately 1/4" off the end of an insulated wire.
Strip
approx.
1/4"
03AAA_270a
2.
3-2
After stripping the wire, verify that the wire is not severed, nicked, or damaged by the
stripping tool. If the wire has been properly stripped, it is ready to be butt spliced. If the
wire has been damaged, restrip the wire (see step 1.).

General Wiring and Installation Guidelines
Making Electrical Connections
Butt Splicing
• Omnitracs recommends Nylon insulated, seamless butt connectors with inspection
windows.
• Heat-shrinkable butt connectors are preferred.
Butt splicing can be done inside and outside the cab or enclosure. See Butt Splicing
Connections Done Inside the Vehicle (Out of the Weather) on page 3-3 and Moisture
Protection for Connections Done Outside the Vehicle on page 3-7.
Make sure the size of the butt splice is appropriate for the job. A good butt splice has these
characteristics:
• The ends of the bare wires are visible through an inspection window.
• The ends of the wires “butt” up against the stop.
• The wires are not exposed beyond splice shielding.
• Crimping does not sever or damage the wires or insulation.
Butt Splicing Connections Done Inside the Vehicle (Out of the Weather)
1.
Insert the stripped wires approximately half way into a butt splice, preferably one with
an inspection window for verifying the wire is in the correct position.

80-J9968-1 Rev. E
Repeat this process for the wire on the opposite end of the butt splice. Once a proper
butt splice is confirmed, it is important to properly crimp the butt splice to hold the
connection.

Crimping
• When crimping a butt-spliced wire or cable, be sure the insulated butt splice is crimped
using the insulated position on the crimp tool and not the crimping “tooth” of the tool.
• Crimping butt splices incorrectly can result in a severed wire and a failed wire connection.
Caution
DO NOT crimp on the crimp “tooth.”

Using a crimping tool, crimp the butt splice one end at a time. First, crimp the inside
crimp area where the wire has been stripped. Apply necessary pressure to this inside
area.

Note
The objective is to apply only the necessary pressure to crimp the butt splice closed and hold
the wire connections together. Do not apply so much pressure as to crush the butt splice and
sever the wire or the insulation on the wire.
2.
WRONG
Butt splice is visibly crushed,
possibly damaging the wire
and the wire connection.
CORRECT
Crimping is done properly,
protecting the wire and
the wire connection.
Some wires are exposed.
No exposed wires.

Proper Grounding
General Wiring and Installation Guidelines
Ring Terminals
When making electrical connections, crimp ring terminals onto the ends of the wires to ensure
good contacts. A properly crimped ring terminal has these characteristics:
• The barrel crimping indent is well-formed and properly positioned.
• The insulated wire’s grip impression is well-formed and provides proper support without
crushing the insulation.
• The wire does not move independently of the lug. Firmly tug on the ring terminal to ensure
it does not pull loose.
• The end of the bare wire protrudes through the crimp barrel approximately 0.03 to 0.125"
depending on the lug size and crimp tool.

Proper Grounding
When establishing a good chassis ground, avoid areas that may be potentially isolated from
ground by a hinge or bad welds. It is extremely important that you create clean, secure, tight,
metal-to-metal grounds. If grounding terminals are not available, remove the paint from the
surface of the metal connected to the chassis to make the ground. Make sure the wires are
not strained or vulnerable to damage.
WARNING
Not following proper grounding guidelines may cause intermittent connections and
may result in unexpected truck downtime or system failure.

Routing and Protecting Cables
General Wiring and Installation Guidelines
Special Exterior Routing Guidelines
• Always use convoluted tubing to protect the cables. Secure the cables to the vehicle with
tie wraps at approximately 18" intervals.
• Route away from exhaust pipes and moving parts. If an exhaust pipe or moving part must
be crossed, use extra tie wraps and route the cable in such a manner that if the tie wrap
fails, the cable will be caught or will rest on a safe part (not hot or moving).
• Seal all external holes for cables with refrigeration/tar tape or silicone sealant to keep
moisture out.
• Route cables with any existing vehicle cables.
Special Interior Routing Guidelines
• Route cables under kick plates or carpets.
• Avoid high foot traffic areas.
• When reinstalling kick plates or carpets, be careful that screws do not penetrate cables.
• Route cables with any existing vehicle cables.
• Use convoluted tubing and refrigeration/tar tape when cables are routed through interior
holes with sharp edges.
Storing Excess Cabling
• Secure excess cabling with tie wraps.
• Stow out of sight.
Service Loops (Drip Loops)
• Provide for all cables.
• Ensure that service loops do not cause any obstruction.

Location and Orientation
• When possible, do not install the MAS200 on the floor of the vehicle.
• Preferably, install the MAS200 on the vertical side wall with cable exiting to the side.
• If possible, install the MAS200 in a storage compartment.
• Choose a location that provides easy access to the USB port you are using for the memory
stick.
• Choose a location where the MAS200 will not come into contact with liquids or solvents.
• Choose a location where tire chains or other tools will not likely be stowed on top of the
unit or cables. Do not mount the unit near items that may fall on it or bump cable
connections.
• Choose a location for the MAS200 that is structurally sound. The surface must support the
full weight of the MAS200 under all circumstances.
• Choose a location that provides for the various cable lengths.
• In cabover vehicles, install the MAS200 in the rear of the storage compartment. In this
location, tools or tire chains will not fall on top of the unit when the cab is tilted up.
• Be sure to provide enough room for cable bends or the removal of cables for servicing (4"
to 6" is recommended).
• Install the MAS200 so that the unit, cables, and backup battery can be serviced in the
future.
Securing the MAS200
• Use four self-drilling screws or well nuts and screws to mount and secure the MAS to a
solid surface.

Installing the Power Cable
Low Voltage Disconnects (LVDs)
An LVD is circuitry in some trucks that remove “non-critical” loads, such as TVs, radios, and
microwaves from the truck battery when operating these items without the vehicle running.
This ensures that there will be enough battery power left to start and run the vehicle.
Do not wire the MCP200 through any LVD device as this will affect the normal operation of
the system. When the LVD is engaged:
• MCP200 will not transmit or receive information
• Panic button will not operate
• Tamper detection will not work
• Vehicle position will be missed
• Backup battery life will be significantly reduced
Power Cable Run
• Run direction—Route the power cable from the MAS200 to the power connection points.
• Routing location—Route internally or externally. If routed externally, use the supplied
convoluted tubing.
• Cable dressing—Store and secure excess cable.
Power Cable Routing
1.
If needed, temporarily remove the two fuses from the fuse holders on the end of the
cable.
2.
Route the fuse end of the power cable from the MAS200 location to the power
connection points in the cab.
3.
Re-install the fuses onto the appropriate wires.
4.
Power on the MAS200 when ready. Powering up the MAS200 should be the last step of
the installation.
Power Cable Wire Connections
• The three required connections that you must make at the fuse end of the power cable:
- Chassis ground - labeled “BAT RTN”
- +12/24 VDC Battery (Main) (unswitched) - labeled “BAT+”
- +12/24 VDC Ignition (switched) - labeled “Ignition”
• Never wire the constant BAT+ connection or the IGNITION connection to the Accessory
position. See Appendix A for detailed pin and wire callouts.

Connect the black BAT RTN wires to a good grounding surface on the vehicle chassis or
one that is connected to the chassis. Refer to Grounding Guidelines on page 5-6 for
more information.
2.
Connect the yellow BAT+ wire to an unswitched (Main) +12/24 VDC power source, such
as the hot side of the vehicle main wiring bus, the battery side of the ignition switch, or
the battery side of the fuse block (not the load side). This bus provides constant +12/24
VDC to the MCP200 and must not be connected to the accessory bus or any other
switched bus.
3.
Connect the white IGNITION wire to the switched (ignition) +12/24 VDC power source,
such as the ignition side of the ignition (key) switch or the ignition side of the fuse block.
• +12/24 VDC should be present on the IGNITION wire only when the ignition switch is
in the ON position, not in the OFF or Accessory position.
4.
Lastly, connect the power cable to the MAS after all other connections have been made.
Grounding Guidelines
• Create clean, secure, tight, metal-to-metal grounds.
• If grounding terminals are not available, remove the paint from the surface of the firewall or
other metal connected to the chassis to make the ground.
• Remove the paint from the metal and tighten the bolt for a good metal-to-metal, chassis
ground connection.

Cable Run
• Run direction—Run the loose conductor end of the cable from the MAS200 to the dash
area. (The connector is too large to pass through most access holes.)
• Routing location—Route internally or externally. Use existing cable runs.
• Cable dressing—Stow and secure any loose wires. Use convoluted tubing for cables run
externally.
• Installation instructions for optional accessories which use the accessory cable are
provided in later chapters of this guide.
• Before connecting the accessory cable to the MCP200, inspect the connectors to make
sure they are not damaged and the pins are not bent. Do not attempt to straighten bent
pins. This further weakens the pins and results in cable failure.
Connecting Cables to the MAS200
1.
Inspect all connectors for bent pins.
2.
Align the connector so it is straight before sliding into position and connect the
accessory cable into the I/O 1 slot.

Installation of WIB Mount
Installation of WIB Mount
The WIB mount attaches to the backside of the vehicle - it should be placed as high up on the
vehicle as possible. Be sure to consider the WIB cable routing distance is no more than 17
feet between the WIB antenna and the MAS200. There are two options on installing.
Caution
Do not locate the WIB near an exhaust stack where there is possible exposure to excessive
heat.
Option #1
For MCP200 systems installed that do not have an optional satellite antenna, the WIB mount
plate is typically attached directly to the factory installed antenna mount. The two studs on
the bottom of the WIB mount are designed to fit through the hole pattern of a factory installed
antenna mount. The WIB is then attached to the plate using the attached VHB tape.
Option #2
1.
Align mount on any rigid surface between .035 and .232 inches thick. It should be
located as high as possible.
2.
Use the mount as a template to mark two diagonal mounting holes prior to drilling.
09AAA_042
80-J9968-1 Rev. E
3.
Drill four .375 (3/8") holes in the positions marked in step 2.
4.
Place the well-nut inserts all the way into each .375 hole until the flanges fit firmly
against the mounting surface.
5.
Place the mount over the mounting holes.

Optional Satellite Data Modem (SDM) Installation
General Installation Guidelines
1.
Orient the SDM on the mount.
2.
Connect the SDM.
3.
Route the SDM cable.
4.
Connect the SDM cable to the MAS200.
Selecting a Mount
See the Outdoor Unit Mount Installation Guide for a complete list of Omnitracs mounts for
specific vehicle types and complete instructions for installing the SDM on the mount.
• Use only Omnitracs-designated mounts for equipment installed in the United States.
• Provide adequate clearance from any nearby structures, such as airdams and exhaust
stacks.
• Position the mount on the driver’s side, if possible, where tree branches and other hazards
will less likely contact the SDM.
• DO NOT install SDMs on headache racks or exhaust pipes.
Caution
Headache racks are mounted to the vehicle frame and there is no shock cushioning.
An SDM mounted on a headache rack risks damage. Omnitracs reserves the right
to charge for replacement or repair of damaged or malfunctioning SDMs which
Omnitracs determines to have failed as a result of installation on the headache rack.
• DO NOT paint the SDM. Painting the SDM will degrade the performance of the mobile
computing platform (MCP200) and void the unit warranty. The SDM mount may be
painted.
• DO NOT open the SDM. Removing the radome will void the warranty unless you have
obtained authorization and instructions from Omnitracs. Removing the radome exposes
the MCP200 antenna to moisture.
• DO NOT overtighten bolts or connectors.
Orienting the SDM on the Mount
• Install the SDM so that it is level when the vehicle is level.

Optional Satellite Data Modem (SDM) Installation
Installing Mounting Bolts
Vehicles with Airdams
• Under a full airdam, orient the SDM so the SDM cable exits toward the front of the
vehicle.
• This orientation reduces the likelihood of water entering the SDM through the connector
port, especially when the vehicle is cleaned with high-pressure water.
Vehicles Without Airdams
• On a vehicle without an airdam and/or the mount is on the rear of the cab, orient the SDM
so the SDM cable connection faces toward the side of the vehicle. See page 3-11 for
cable routing examples.
• This orientation prevents wind-driven rain from pounding the connector, while preventing
trailer swing from hitting the connector.
• Install the SDM so that it does not exceed the Federal D.O.T. mandated maximum legal
height of 13’ 6".
Installing Mounting Bolts
1.
Mount the SDM to the mounting bracket using the bolts and washers supplied with the
SDM mounting hardware (or exact substitutions). Normally, bolts longer than 3/4"
should not be used. If longer bolts are needed, such as when the SDM is being
attached to a fiberglass shelf with a plywood base, use 1/4-20 UNC grade 8 or better.
2.
Tighten the SDM mounting bolts to the recommended torque of 72 inch/pounds.

Line-of-Sight Requirements
Optional Satellite Data Modem (SDM) Installation
Line-of-Sight Requirements
• SDM requires an unobstructed line-of-sight view to the satellite in order to clearly send and
receive signals.
• SDM must be able to send and receive the signals at a 12° angle above the horizontal
plane of the unit. There must be an unobstructed view of the satellite at all angles above
12°.
The following illustration shows the 12° angle and the maximum allowable height of
objects located at various distances from the SDM centerline.

OM/E-0093-42
• An obstruction height of 2.5 feet for every 12 feet away from the SDM centerline is
acceptable. Use this same formula to verify that a trailer hooked up to the vehicle does not
extend above the 12° angle.
• Satellite signal can normally pass through thin layers of glass, fiberglass, and plastic. Thick
layers or obstructions above the 12° angle may block the satellite signal and cause “blind
spots.” Keep blind spots to a minimum:
- Multiple layers of fiberglass, glass, or plastic
- Areas with numerous bends in the fiber glass
- Metal and wood bracing
- Metallic paints and lead-based paints
- Company logos that contain metallic materials
- Metal airdams, metal wings, metal side skirts, air conditioning units, and exhaust
stacks.
• When mounting an SDM, make sure that the mounting surface is strong enough to support
the weight of the SDM and mount.
• The installation must also withstand very strong shock forces exerted by the vehicle when
it is moving.

Trailer Swing Area
Trailer Swing Area
• DO NOT position the mount in the rear center of the vehicle. The corner of the trailer could
hit the SDM when the vehicle turns sharply.
• When positioning the SDM on the mount, protect the SDM connector by turning the
antenna so it faces the side and NOT the back of the trailer.
• Make sure that when the “fifth wheel” of a vehicle is fully forward, the trailer clears the
SDM when executing sharp turns or going up ramps.
• If the vehicle will be hauling refrigerated trailers, make sure that the refrigeration unit still
clears the SDM when the driver turns sharply or drives up ramps.

Selecting a Speaker
Speaker Requirements
There are two basic speaker requirements for TTS:
• Only one speaker can be connected to the MCP200 for text-to-speech play, otherwise the
volume will be very low.
• An 8-ohm speaker, such as a standard CB speaker or standard truck audio speaker,
should be used for text-to-speech play.
Some 60-ohm and 40-ohm speakers may work. We recommend testing prior to performing
installation.
Choosing a Speaker
Text-to-speech works with either an existing speaker (typically, the driver’s side door
speaker) that is part of the vehicle’s audio system, or a speaker that can be added for text-tospeech.
• If you are using a vehicle’s audio system 8-ohm speaker, see Option 1—Connecting to an
Existing or Shared Speaker on page 9-3.
• If you are adding a dedicated speaker for TTS, see Option 2—Connecting to a Dedicated
8-ohm Speaker on page 9-6.

Vehicle Data Source Overview
Vehicle Data Bus Connections
Vehicle Data Source Overview
The Omnitracs mobile computing platform can use the J1708/J1587 and J1939 data buses,
as well as traditional sensors to monitor critical vehicle data:
• Traditional sensors are used on most pre-1992 trucks (limited application use).
• J1708/J1587 data bus is used on most 1992–2009 trucks.
• J1708/J1587 and J1939 data buses are available on 2007–2010 trucks.
• J1939 will be the only data bus used on most trucks built after 2010.
These data inputs can be monitored on the vehicle data services (VDS) screens. The vehicle
data source makes this data available to specific applications on the MCP200.
J1939 Data Bus
Omnitracs applications only support 2007 and newer trucks with ECMs that support the SAE
J1939-71, Rev. Nov 2006 standard.
• High speed (250 Kb/sec) data bus.
• Uses a two-wire differential serial bus, which is a network backbone running throughout
the vehicle with several stubs connecting each ECM to the backbone.
J1708/J1587 Data Bus
• Low speed (9.6 Kb/sec), bi-directional data bus.
• Uses a two-wire differential serial bus, which runs throughout the vehicle.
Traditional Sensors
• Use traditional sensors if the truck does not have the J1708/J1587 or J1939 data bus. For
information on connecting traditional sensors and calibration, contact Omnitracs Customer
Support.

J1708 /J1587 low-speed data bus and the J1939 high-speed data bus. The truck year, make,
and model, as well as the Omnitracs applications used determine which data bus to use. If
both the J1708/J1587 and J1939 are available, we recommend connecting to both.
If you do not know which data source to use, contact your Omnitracs representative for
assistance.
Guidelines for Connecting to the J1939 Data Bus
• Choose Option 1 or Option 2 according to these specifications:
- Option 1: Use the repeater cable when the distance between the MAS200 and the
J1939 bus connection point exceeds 10 feet. Also use Option 1 for any after market
installation.
- Option 2: Use the direct connection method (no repeater cable) when the distance
between the MAS200 and the J1939 bus connection point does not exceed 10 feet.
Option 2 is not typically used in an after market installation.
• DO NOT extend factory wires.
• Maximum stub length is 10 feet.
• Minimum stub spacing is 4 inches.
• Never have more than one ECM device on the same stub.

3.
Using an ohmmeter, place the positive lead on pin C and the negative lead on pin D of
the diagnostic connector. Verify that the resistance is 55–65 ohms.
• If the resistance is 55–65 ohms, J1939 is present. Go to Checking the MCP200
Accessory Cable for CAN on page 10-5.
• If the resistance is not 55–65 ohms, there is a problem with your J1939 data bus. Fix
the problem before proceeding.

Option 1—Connecting J1939 Using the Repeater Cable
Vehicle Data Bus Connections
Follow all SAE guidelines when connecting to the vehicle’s J1939 data bus.
Making the Connection
1.
Start the vehicle and verify that the truck is in good working order and displays no dash
faults.
2.
Turn OFF the truck and ensure that no dash lights are on.
Note
Some trucks may have activity on the J1939 bus with the door open or if an accessory is
active. This can cause a faulty resistance reading on the CAN bus.
3.
Measure the J1939 bus resistance at the diagnostic connector. It should read 60 ohms.
(Refer to Resistance Test (to Verify that J1939 Is Present) on page 10-4.)
4.
Locate the J1939 bus wires.
• The J1939 wires are a twisted pair
• CAN high (J1939+) (yellow)
• CAN low (J1939-) (green)
5.
Determine a suitable J1939 location point. In many vehicles you can connect behind the
truck diagnostic connector. Be aware that only one electronic device should be
connected to the J1939 stub at the back of the diagnostic connector at a time. If another
device is already present you will need to splice directly into the vehicle’s J1939
backbone. When splicing directly to the J1939 backbone bus, you will need to Ohm out
(0 Ohms) CAN + and CAN - wires to Pin C (CAN high) and Pin D (CAN low) on the
diagnostic connector. Contact Omnitracs Customer Support for assistance if needed.
6.
Splice the yellow CAN high J1939+ wire from the repeater cable to the yellow CAN high
J1939+ wire from the truck’s J1939 bus. (Refer to the illustration on page 10-5.)
7.
Splice the green CAN low J1939- wire from the repeater cable to the green CAN low
J1939- wire from the truck’s J1939 bus. (Refer to the illustration on page 10-5.)

• The data source wires to the engine data diagnostic connector are a twisted pair that
should remain twisted after the installation is complete.
• Consult the manufacturer’s wiring diagrams to identify the wires (some are marked
DATA+ and DATA- or D/L+ and D/L-, and some are marked with numbers or colors).
• Note which wire is plus (+) and which is minus (-).
• To avoid confusion, cut and splice the positive wires first and then the negative wires.
Because there usually is not much slack in the engine data diagnostic connector
wires, be careful in cutting and splicing to them.

Performance Monitoring System Overview
Performance Monitoring System Verification
Performance Monitoring System Overview
The Performance Monitoring system is an optional Omnitracs MCP200 application that
records vehicle and driver performance data. The data is then retrieved from the MCP200 by
the host computer either manually or automatically at preset intervals.
The hardware installation on the vehicle consists of:
1.
Connecting the MCP200 to the data link (see Chapter 10).
2.
Sending performance monitoring parameters from the host computer.
3.
Performing system verification.
Performance Monitoring System Verification
First verify that performance monitoring parameters have been sent to the unit and received.
Use the Parameters tab within the Performance Monitoring application and verify the tag field
is not “0.”
12-2

Performance Monitoring System Verification
Performance Monitoring System Verification
A tag of “0” indicates that the unit has not received it s parameters. Call your company
dispatch administrator and ask for the parameters to be sent. A non-zero tag indicates that
the unit has received parameters.
Next, with ignition in the ON position, use the Input Tab within the Performance Monitoring
application to understand what data is being provided. Review data that is available listed
under the Data Item column. Notice indicator lights.
• Green indicator light means that those items are being received (this is good).
• Red indicator light means the data is stale and not currently available.
• Black indictor light means no data has been received for that item.

Lights
Verify they
are green
At a minimum, Performance Monitoring needs current data from Speed, EngineRPM, and
DistanceLTD. If these show green, the verification is complete.
If ignition is on and all the data items have a black indicator light, recheck your data link
installation. See Chapter 10.
Understanding Performance Monitoring Faults
Certain types of conditions or faults can be monitored using performance monitoring. A table
of those faults follows. Which faults are monitored is determined by the configuration a
customer sends to a unit with the performance monitoring parameters.

Power Take-off (PTO) Overview
This option provides customers with the ability to log the time the vehicle engine is used for
non-transportation purposes, such as when it is powering auxiliary devices.
In order to log PTO time, one of the two PTO wires must be connected to the pump or
compressor input. Also, a unit must be configured to record PTO. Configuration values are
sent through Performance Monitoring parameters
Typically, there are two types of switching methods, those switched to +12 VDC and those
switched to ground.

CER Overview
Critical Event Reporting System Verification
CER Overview
CER captures and reports critical event information such as:
• hard braking events
• stability control/roll stability events
• lane departure warning (LDW) events
• panic button events
• manually triggered events
The CER feature records a set of predefined data for the five minute period before a critical
event occurs and the two minute period after a critical event is triggered. The event
information is sent from the mobile unit over the air where it is made available to the customer
for analysis via a web application.
Text-to-speech (TTS) can be enabled so CER events can be audibly conveyed to the driver.
Performance Monitoring is not required for CER. The “hard brake” feature in Performance
Monitoring does not have to be enabled for the hard brake CER trigger to operate.
For the CER feature to function, the datalink wires must be connected. Please refer to
Chapter 10: Vehicle Data Bus Connections.
Some CER features are dependent on connection to both J1708/J1587 and J1939 data links
and rely on the vehicle’s ECM to supply needed information.

Caution
Filters: Filtering of the 7-way AUX wire to stop the vehicle’s ABS PLC signal (SAE
2497) from getting into the vehicle electrical system, will also filter the Trailer
Management system signal. The TTRACS wire should be connected so it does not
go through the PLC filter.
ABS Interoperability: The Trailer Management system product has been tested by
Omnitracs for interoperability with the SAE standard PLC4Trucks ABS signal. These
tests resulted in no adverse impact on the ABS warning function. Furthermore,
Omnitracs is not aware of any interoperability issues in actual operation on vehicles
in the marketplace.

Optional Remote Control Device (RCD) Installation
General Installation Guidelines
1.
Install the RCD.
2.
Route and connect RCD cable.
3.
Route and connect RCD cable to speaker.
Selecting a Mounting Location
• Mount the RCD on the dash panel of the vehicle.
• RCD must be easily accessible to the driver while seated in the driver’s seat, but
cannot interfere in any way with the operation of the vehicle.
• Check Important Safety Information on page -xi when choosing a location.
Installing the Remote Control Device (RCD)
1.
Determine a suitable location.
• VHB (very high bond) tape permanently bonds the device to the dash panel.
2.
Remove the dash panels to expose the backside of the dash. Check that the area is free
of cable, wires, and/or hoses.
3.
Drill a 1/4" hole in the dash panel and debur the hole.
• OPTIONAL: If routing the cable over the dash, use tie wraps to secure the cable.
4.
Route cable through the hole and behind the dash panel.
5.
Use the alcohol wipe provided to clean the mounting surface of any dirt, oil, or grime.
• OPTIONAL: There are two nutserts on the back of the RCD that can be used instead
of/in addition to the VHB tape. If you use the nutserts, you will need 4-40 x 0.3750.412 screws. These screws are not supplied by Omnitracs.
6.
Remove the paper backing from the VHB tape and firmly press the RCD onto the
mounting surface. Let it stand for a few minutes to allow surfaces to fully bond.
7.
Finish routing the RCD cable to where the accessory cable ends.
Connecting the RCD to the Accessory Cable
