Overview
TripTek is a trip computer designed for motorhomes that have an electronic diesel engine. Receiving data from the
electronic engine computer and other sources, the system collects, analyzes, and saves vehicle data in memory; it then

Starting Instructions
Locate J1708 Data Link
Depending on the coach manufacturer, the J1708 public data link from the engine ECM may or may not be run to the dash
area. If you are unsure about the data line identity, contact the coach manufacturer for help. The data lines should be a
twisted pair of wires. For further information, see page 3, Connect J1708 DataLink.
Keypad
Choosing a Location
The keypad should be accessible and convenient for operation without the need for visual contact. This will assist the
operator in utilizing the system with minimal impact on driver safety. It is also important that the surface is flat because
the keypad can be damaged if distorted.
Drilling the holes
After you have chosen the location, check behind that area of the console for any obstructions such as brackets or cables.
If none are found, mark the location of the holes on the console surface, using the template in Appendix C. Drill all holes,
using a 9/64” drill for the four studs and a 9/32” drill for the slotted hole.
Route the keypad cable through the slotted hole and to the location chosen for the computer, then insert the four studs of
the keypad into the drilled holes. If there is any interference that could possibly distort or damage the keypad, remove it
and make any changes required to remedy the problem.
From the back of the console, place the nuts on the threaded studs and tighten. The keypad rubber cover that is between
the keypad and console should not be compressed or show any distortion. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN!
