1.3.1 Connector Block 1 (power supply and outputs)Power supply

Connect the power supply on pin 1 (+) and pin 2 (-). The recorder is suitable for a voltage between 10-32 VDC(negative earth).

Power consumption when printing is 25 W.

Display background light (preferable for the Euroscan RX3)

Usually the display background light switches on after pressing any key and switches off automatically after a fewseconds if no further key is pressed. If a permanent background light is required while driving, connect pin 3 to avehicle ignition +signal.

Never connect display background light directly to vehicle battery.

Alarm outputs

Pin 4 is a digital alarm output. The output switches to ground in case of an alarm situation and is limited to 1Aoutput current. Below are two examples of how the digital alarm can be connected.

Option 1 - Direct Connection


16


Option 2 - Toggle Connection

Option 2 is recommended in case an alarm is chosen that has peak currents higher than 1A.

1.3.2 Connector Block 2 (serial port)The temperature recorder has two serial communication (COM) ports. These are used for a permanent connectionwith external devices. For proper connection use a suitable connector (connector block 5-way, P/N 005.000.0005).

Pins 2 and 3 are used for COM 2

Pins 4 and 5 are used for COM 1

Pin 1 is a shared pin for the ground of both COM ports.

Both inputs are activated by default and are pre-programmed as follows:

COM1 = UCP Protocol

COM2 = UCP Protocol.

The protocol should be changed to match the communication protocol used by the external device.

1.3.3 Connector Block 3 (digital inputs)Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders offer the possibility to connect four digital inputs. Pins 1-8 are accordingly marked asD1-D4. For the status inputs, consider the polarity.

Pins 2, 4, 6, and 8 are internally connected to the power supply.

Pins 1, 3, 5, and 7 are signal inputs.

All four inputs are de-activated by default, the next functions are pre-programmed:

D1 = Back Door

D2 = Side Door

D3 = Defrost

D4 = Refrigeration.


17


At every opening or closing of the input circuit a status change will be recorded into memory, but only if the input hasbeen activated and configured correctly in the parameter settings.

1.3.4 Connector Block 4 (temperature inputs)Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders offer the possibility to connect six temperature sensors. Pins 1-8 are accordinglymarked with T1-T6. Pins 2, 3, 4, 6, 7 and 8 are signal inputs and pins 1 and 5 are internally connected to ground. Thepolarity of the sensor cable is not relevant.

In the factory settings inputs 1 and 2 are activated and pre-programmed as follows: T1 = Return Air, T2 = Front.Inputs 2 to 6 are de-activated by default, and are pre-programmed as follows:

T3 = Rear

T4 = Probe

T5 = Probe

T6 = Probe.

A used input must always be activated and configured in the parameter menu.

Never use tinned wire ends in the phoenix connectors of the recorders. You can apply a ferrule on thestranded wire or fold back the stranded wires over the isolation and fully insert in the phoenix connector(so isolation included).

1.4 Mount the Recorder

Wiring should be free of obstacles, kinks or dents. The use of wiring loom is recommended to preventdamage to the cable (that is. due to vibration).

1.4.1 Power supplyThe power supply must be connected directly to the vehicle or refrigerator battery. The included 10 A (T) floating fusemust be fitted in the +power line as close as possible to the power connection. The Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders aresuitable for a voltage between 10 - 32 Volt DC.

1.4.2 Temperature sensorsEuroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders can only be used with Euroscan temperature sensors as supplied with the Euroscanpackage.

Before installation, determine how many measurement points are required to retrieve the desired information. Onceyou know the number and position of the sensors, you can come to a conclusion about the air temperature in anentire compartment.

Observe the following before planning the installation of the temperature sensors:

l Do not mount the temperature sensor in a location without air circulation.l Protect the sensor position against bumping of load, doors, etc.l Leave a minimum distance of 0.5 m between the channel of the interior light and the sensors.l ORBCOMM recommends at least one sensor per compartment and one sensor in the return air flow. The best

position of a compartment sensor is in the middle, under the ceiling, at about 1/3 of the compartment lengthmeasured from the back.

l Mount the compartment sensor with the Euroscan protection guard, which will allow sufficient air circulationaround the sensor.

l For future calibration requirements, it is advisable to allow enough spare cable to enable the sensor to belowered to the floor.

Figure 4: Example Installation on a Trailer

1.4.3 Digital InputsThe digital inputs allow monitoring and registration of digital signals. Typical functions are defrost, refrigeration(on/off), back and side doors (open/close), battery back-up and compartment on/off. By configuring the parameters,the interpretation of the corresponding status can be distinguished.

There are three ways of connecting door switches or other digital signals:

l Standard switch contact on digital input (low)

l Switched to battery (+) (high)

l Switched to ground (-) (low)


20


Digital input distinct between high levels and low levels around 5 volts. A voltage level lower than4 volts is low level, a level higher than 6 volts is high level. The digital active can be matched tolow or high level in menu 6 of the recorder.

1.4.4 Fridge ConnectionThe Euroscan X3 recorders can be connected to several types of fridges from different suppliers. Remember that thefridge needs to be prepared to communicate with a 3rd party (telematics) device, before it can communicate with theEuroscan temperature recorder.

Additionally, the correct communication protocol should be configured in the X3 temperature recorder for successfulcommunication. For more information about configuring the communication protocol, refer to section 2.12

The Euroscan X3 recorder is compatible with refrigeration units from the following suppliers:

l Carrierl Thermo Kingl Mitsubishil Konvekta

For more detailed information and requirements about connecting a fridge unit to the X3 temperaturerecorder, please contact your distributor or ORBCOMM Euroscan support.

1.4.5 Door Lock ConnectionThe Euroscan X3 recorders can be connected to Door Lock Controllers from several suppliers. Connecting a door lockcontroller may offer the possibility to remotely (un)lock and (dis)arm a door lock.

Remember that the Door lock controller should be prepared to communicate with a 3rd party (telematics) device,before it can communicate with the Euroscan temperature recorder.

Additionally, the correct communication protocol should be configured in the X3 temperature recorder for successfulcommunication. For more information about configuring the communication protocol, refer to section 2.12.

For more detailed information and requirements about connecting a door lock controller to the X3temperature recorder, please contact your distributor or ORBCOMM Euroscan support.

Additional settings may be required in the X3 recorder’s configuration, depending on the connected doorlock controller.

1.4.6 GPSRemember the following when mounting a recorder with internal antenna or an external antenna:

l Always mount horizontally with the reception surface facing up.l Do not choose a location covered by metal, metal containing components or paint. Also pay attention to

windows in which metal film is processed.l Mount in clear sight.l Wiring should be free of obstacles, kinks or dents. This could influence the performance of the reception


21


antenna cable.l Mount in an interference free location.

Testing of the GPS signal cannot be compared to reception on smart phones. These use the assisted GPStechnology in which location detection is used via cell towers and Wi-Fi.

1.4.7 RecorderThe installation set of the Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorder contains almost all components required for a standardinstallation with two temperature sensors. In addition, some general materials like a kit (accepted by the food andpharma industry), cable trunking and fixing materials for cable mounting are required. Use the existing cabletrunkings for both outside and inside walls. If no existing cable trunkings are available, mount new ones.

Do not use self-adhesive cable trunkings as adhesion will not last due to heavy temperature fluctuationsand peaks.

All drilled holes need to be sealed with a suitable sealant.

1.4.8 Install the Euroscan RX3The Euroscan RX3 recorder is designed to be mounted within the cabin of a vehicle in a single DIN radio slot(according to ISO 7736).

Optional Mounting Kit

If no radio slot is available the recorder should be mounted with the optional mounting kit (P/N: 001.000.1202 RXmounting frame nonmetal). This will replace a radio slot and can be fixed either on or under the dashboard and onthe back wall. Ensure that the position chosen allows the driver to see the display and use the operator keyboard.Remember that access to the printer is required to replace the paper roll.


22


When installing an Euroscan RX3 unit with a communication module, prevent Electrical StaticDischarges (ESD) damage by connecting the power before connecting the GPS + GPRS antennas.

1. Select a suitable position for the Euroscan RX3 recorder, for example a free car radio slot in the dashboard, orabove the driver. If there is no free slot, ORBCOMM recommends the optional mounting kit (P/N:001.000.1202 RXmounting frame nonmetal). The mounting kit can be fitted on top, or underneath thedashboard.

2. Push the mounting frame into the slot and bend the metal flaps to secure its position.3. Install the sensors from the body to the driver’s cabin. Ensure you fit the cables along the chassis with the

harness, so that they won’t break when tilting the cabin.4. Take the connector blocks off the back of the instrument and fix the cables according to the wiring diagram

(see section 1.3).5. Connect the power supply via the 10 A fuse provided, directly to the main vehicle battery, the recorder will start

recording automatically.6. Attach, where applicable, the GPS + GPRS antenna.

Ensure adequate power is supplied permanently to the recorder at all times.

7. Test the functionality and do a printout before pushing the instrument into the slot.

1.4.9 Install the EuroscanTX3The Euroscan TX3 recorder has been designed for outside mounting directly on the body. Usually it is fixed under therefrigeration unit on the front side of the body where it is easily accessible.

Cables should be installed via watertight cable glands. This avoids humidity penetration into the box. Foreach cable a separate gland should be used unless you use a gland especially designed for more cables.

1. Mark four holes at the front of the body in an easily accessible location (usually underneath the refrigeratorunit to the right or left-hand side). Then drill holes with a 10 mm drill.

2. Insert the four rubber mounting nuts. Mount the recorder using the four screws and washers provided (notemetal washer to be located on the outside of the mounting lug fixed to the box). Ensure screws are screwed in


23


tight. Use any available entrance for the temperature sensors. If no entrance is available, drill a hole largeenough at suitable location through bulkhead to pass the temperature sensors through. Make sure that thecable glands of the box show downwards.

3. Position sensor no. 1 to the return air (RET.AIR) usually next to the refrigerator sensor, but only if good airflowis around it, otherwise locate sensor onto grill.

4. Position sensor no. 2 at high level usually to the roof, either in the center or to the side, 2 - 3 meters in from therear doors.

5. Ensure all cables are installed neatly into plastic channels or similar. Ensure that there is at least 1 - 2 meters ofspare cable in channels, this will facilitate calibration.

6. Connect power cable through the 10 A fuse provided, directly to the main vehicle or refrigerator battery,recorder will start recording automatically.

Ensure adequate power is supplied permanently to the recorder at all times.

7. Ensure all holes drilled through the body are sealed with a suitable sealant.

1.4.10 Install the AntennaAntenna Installation Position

1. Mount the TX bracket or magnetic antenna in a position that the black top of the antenna has a clear line-of-sight to the satellites. Make sure that the 3G/GPRS antenna has a clear line-of-sight.

2. Stick the RX antenna on the inside of the windscreen and make sure that it has a clear view to the sky above.


24


l Do NOT let the antenna hang on the connection cablel Do NOT mount the antenna and wiring close to a heat source (like heating channels or

exhaust pipes)l Do NOT cut or extend or make any changes to the cablesl Do NOT curl up cablesl Do NOT bend the cables in sharp angles as this might break the core of the wirel Do NOT place the antenna too close to toll systemsl Make sure that the antenna has a clear view to the sky (towards the satellites)l Place cables into a cable gutterl Install the antenna according to the installation standards (and not directly in the drivers

view).

4 OPERATE THE RECORDEREuroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders are developed and produced to conform to the applicable European and Nationalguidelines, for the delivery of chilled and frozen transport goods in transport vehicles (EN12830).

Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders can provide evidence of correct temperatures for every trip in the form of a deliveryticket, numerical or graphical print-out. All data is stored with a date / time stamp in a large flash memory. Data willnot be lost if power supply is disconnected. The real-time clock is powered by an internal back-up battery.

Although the Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders have been specifically designed and tested for use in a harsh vehicleenvironment, there are certain circumstances beyond ORBCOMM’s control, for example, lightning strikes, high voltagepeaks, theft, manipulation, where data loss could occur. Because the temperature data might be crucial to providingevidence in the case of transport damages, ORBCOMM strongly advises you to take the following precautions:

l Print or download data to a computer on aweekly basis as a backup.l For a long-term storage of the data, ORBCOMM recommends downloading the data via DeviceManager. In

addition to the Bluetooth connection, ORBCOMM offers the communication options for automated datatransfer by use of a GPRS modem. For further information please contact the ORBCOMM sales team or visitwww.euroscansupport.com.

l Check the correct functioning of the recorder frequently (minimum – together with the refrigerator service).l Check the recording system every 12 months to see if the temperature measurement error is within the

maximum permissible error. The annual test is obligatory, according to resp. EN 12830 or EN 13486.l Follow the installation and user instructions in this guide.

l Do not weld without disconnecting the power from the Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorder or the vehicle.

l Do not take the power supply from a generator system without extra filter protection against high voltagepeaks. Preferably, always take power direct from the vehicle or refrigerator battery.

4.1 Control PanelThe control panel of the Euroscan TX3 / RX3 consists of three main components:

l LCD displayl Keyboardl Printer (optional)

4.1.1 LCD Display

The display has four lines of information, showing the following content in the operating mode.

4.1.3 PrinterThe thermal printer is installed on the right side of the recorder. For more information about operating the printerthrough the user menu, refer to chapter 4.2.1 (including subchapters).

Tear paper only when printing has stopped to avoid damage to the printer mechanism.

A printout must be torn downwards over the edge of the bottom plastic part.

For more details about replacing the paper roll, refer to chapter 5.4.

4.1.4 Low Power ModeThe Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorder can reduce power usage by putting itself into a low power mode. In this mode, allperipheral components and all communication are switched off. The recorder will only do measurement, powermanagement and store measured temperatures. Low power mode can be initiated by inactivity or when the batteryvoltage drops below a set limit for a specified time.

By default, there is no communication with the server or any connected device during low power mode.

During low power mode, the display of the recorder is turned off and the keyboard does not cause any actions to beperformed. The recorder automatically powers up after the power supply is once again over the set threshold.

It is possible to set a wake-up interval and time, which can be used to re-establish communication with the server.During this wake-up time, the recorder transfers all recorded data to the server. If the power supply is still below thethreshold after the wake-up time has passed, the recorder goes back into low power mode. For more informationabout setting low power mode, refer to section 2.14.

Tear paper only when printing has stopped to avoid damage to the printer mechanism.

A printout must be torn downwards over the edge of the bottom plastic part.

5.5 Euroscan TX3 / RX3 Recorder CalibrationThe Euroscan TX3 / RX3 recorders have an option to adjust the offset of the A/D converter with a correction factor.Because this offset is subject to aging, it is recommended you repeat this procedure on a regular basis (that is, at theannual reference check).


65


The correction factor is a fixed parameter used in the formula, which converts the measured resistance into thecorresponding temperature. This procedure is NOT applicable for calibrating individual sensors. Note that the effecton the measured and displayed temperature is not linear.

Adjusting the correction factor applies to ALL temperature sensors.

Adjusting the correction factor may only be done by Euroscan Certified Installers.

Set the correction factor

1. Connect the temperature calibration block to CON4 of the recorder.2. Enter the parameter menu by pressing the <green> button for 4 seconds. The display will show: "ENTER

PINCODE".3. Enter the factory PIN code.4. Select menu [12 Factory settings] by using the <blue> and <yellow> buttons. Enter the menu by pressing the

<green button>5. Select menu [12.5 Correct. Factor] by using the <blue> and <yellow> buttons. Enter the menu by pressing the

<green button>.6. Wait for the recorder to compare the measured value of the resistor with the expected value of the calibration

block. On the first line, the recorder will display a recommended correction factor based on the measuredvalue. This factor can be set on line two.

7. Use the <blue> and <yellow> buttons to adjust the correction factor. The correction factor is limited from -9 to+9.

8. Press the <green> button to apply the correction factor.

5.6 Euroscan TX3 / RX3 Recorder Temperature VerificationThis procedure applies to all Euroscan temperature recorders. The verification procedure determines the accuracy ofthe installed Euroscan recorder, together with the attached sensors. The combined measuring system must betested, at least every 12 months to ensure that it functions within the given tolerances of (±1°C).

The verification procedure described here is a testing procedure and is based on the assumption that theconfiguration parameters of the recorder are set correctly. There are no further setting options on the recorder or thesensors. If the result of the verification is not within the given tolerance, replace the sensor and re-test. If the readingis still outside the (±1°C) tolerance, please contact your customer care team about returning the recorder.

Equipment

l A reference thermometer with a valid calibration certificate, conforming to National and European Standards,and must have an indicated tolerance of (±0.2°C) of the given temperature.

l Cable tie


66


l Verification certificatel A bowl containing crushed ice and demi water (only for freezing point test).

Procedure

The verification procedure should be performed within ±5°C of the operating temperature of the vehicle/trailer. Forchilled transport, the ideal verification temperature is 0°C.

Two different verification methods for temperatures exist: the first one is performed at 0°C (freezing point test) andthe second one at any other temperature.

In both cases, each individual sensor is tested. The results are documented on the verification certificate, togetherwith the serial number of each sensor. To successfully conduct this test, the recorder should be changed to singledisplay for the selected sensor.

To perform ameaningful test, the sensor of the reference thermometer must be connected with the vehicle sensor ina thermo-conductive way. This can be achieved by directly binding them together using a cable tie.

Freezing Point Test

When conducting the freezing point test (0°C), the sensors are individually placed into a mixture of crushed ice anddemi water.

The sensors are immersed at least 10 cm into the crushed ice and demi water mixture, which should be stirred every30 seconds to provide an equal temperature distribution.

When the temperatures have stabilized for at least 5 minutes, the values given by the recorder and the referencethermometer are filled onto the form, together with the serial numbers of the sensors.

Other temperatures

If a temperature verification other than 0°C is necessary, the test should be performed at a temperature of ±5°C of thefuture operation temperature. Therefore, in the case of vehicles transporting frozen products, the test should beundertaken at -20°C. The vehicle compartment should be cooled to the required temperature, and the cable to thereference thermometer, fed underneath the closed doors, with the instrument outside.

When the temperatures have stabilized for at least 5 minutes, the values given by the recorder and the referencethermometer are filled onto the form, together with the serial numbers of the sensors.

Evaluation

If one of the sensors does not pass the test, the sensor should be replaced and the test performed again. If the resultis still negative, the temperature recorder from Euroscan should be returned following the RMA procedure (section5.3).
