Updated over 2 months ago

Overview

This article provides step-by-step instructions for installing and verifying the GS-364 (TTU-3640) tracking device on heavy equipment. Follow each step to ensure a secure installation, proper GPS visibility, and successful transmission.

Who this guide is for:

Installers, mechanics, or personnel setting up GS-364 (TTU-3640) devices on off-road or heavy-duty equipment.


Required Tools & Materials

Before beginning, make sure you have the following:

  • Drill (with appropriate bits)

  • Adjustable pliers

  • Zip ties

  • Industrial-grade Velcro

  • Self-tapping screws

  • GS-364 (TTU-3640) harness/device


Step-by-Step Installation

1 Preparation

  • Park the equipment in a safe, well-lit location and turn off the engine.

  • Disconnect the battery if needed to prevent shorting during installation.

  • Verify that all required tools and materials are present.


2 Locate Diagnostic Port

  • Identify the OEM diagnostic port on the equipment.

  • Common locations: behind the operator’s seat or near the fuse panel.

  • Ensure the port and surrounding area are clean and easily accessible.


3 Determine Mounting Location

  • Select a mounting location for the GS-364 (TTU-3640) device.

  • Important: The device must have a clear view of the sky for optimal GPS signal reception.

  • Recommended areas: near a window or upper dashboard.

Mounting Options:

  • Option 1: Self-tapping screws – permanent installation.

  • Option 2: Industrial Velcro – removable installation.

  • Option 3: Combination of Velcro and zip ties – added stability.


4 Connect the Harness

  • Remove the OEM diagnostic port from its mount.

    • Depending on the model, it may use a single nut or several rear screws.

  • Connect one side of the GS-364 (TTU-3640) harness to the OEM diagnostic port.

    • This keeps the diagnostic port functional for fault-code reading.

  • Plug the other side of the harness into the equipment’s diagnostic connector.

  • Connect the GS-364 (TTU-3640) device to the harness plug.


5 Power Up and Verify Device Activation

  • Once connected, the GS-364 (TTU-3640) device LEDs will begin flashing.

  • Wait 5–10 minutes until all LEDs turn solid.

  • During this time, the device runs system checks, connects to the ECM, and downloads updates.

  • Do not proceed until all LEDs are solid.


6 Verify Operation

  • Open the mobile app and log in.

  • Start the equipment and let it run for 10–15 minutes.

  • Confirm:

    • GPS lock is established (check coordinates in the app).

    • “Engine began running” event appears – this may take 30 seconds to 5 minutes depending on configuration.

  • Turn off the equipment and confirm an “Engine stopped running” event in the app.

  • Use Verify GPS Device in the app to confirm communication.

    • (See the Verify GPS Device article for step-by-step instructions.)


7 Record Installation Details

  • Pair (couple) the device with the specific equipment using the mobile app.

    • From the home screen, tap Devices > Field Service Ticket to begin coupling.

    • Enter the required information, including:

      • Hour meter reading

      • Odometer reading (if applicable)

    • (See the Field Service Ticket article for detailed steps.)

  • Record the following additional details for your records:

    • Equipment make and model

    • Device serial number

  • Verify that the equipment information entered in the app matches the corresponding record in the database.


8 Final Installation & Cleanup

  • Secure the harness neatly with zip ties.

  • Keep wiring away from heat sources, moving parts, and pinch points.

  • Mount the GS-364 (TTU-3640) device securely in the chosen location.

  • Reassemble any removed panels or covers.

  • Confirm all tools and materials have been cleared from the area.

  • Power up the equipment one final time to confirm full system operation.

Installation Complete

The GS-364 (TTU-3640) is now installed and transmitting data.

Perform a quick system check to confirm the device reports the correct equipment ID and status.
