Expansion Solutions Installation Guide
Introduction
This document provides an overview of various expansion solutions compatible with the IOX-COLD. If you require additional or unsupported expansion solutions, please contact our support team for assistance.
! IMPORTANT: Once the required installations between the IOX-COLD/IOX-COLD RUGGED and any additional solutions (Refrigeration unit and accessories, Thermograph, Tachograph, Expansions) have been completed, the IOX-COLD/IOX-COLD RUGGED must be installed with GO9/GO9 RUGGED devices as outlined in the quick start guides.
The quick start guide documents are available at the following links:
- IOX-COLD: gtb.link/ioxcold
- IOX-COLD RUGGED: gtb.link/ioxcoldrugged
Preparing for installation
Ensure that you have all of the following materials:
Tools
- Ratchet kit
- Cable guide
- Cutter plier
- Gripping plier
- Cable ties
✱ NOTE: Some extra tools might be required depending on the installation environment.

Configuration
It is necessary to configure and calibrate the sensors with the manufacturer's software:
- Sensor 1 needs address 101 (0x65)
- Sensor 2 needs address 102 (0x66)
Calibration determines the minimum and maximum level of fuel measurement in the tank. To perform the calibration follow these steps:
1 | Remove the measuring part from fuel. |
|
2 | Wait 30 to 60 seconds for the rest of the fuel to leave the sensor's measuring tube. |
|
3 | Measure the length of the tubes of the measuring part of the sensor L from its end to the drain hole. Measure this length in millimeters. |
|
4 | Insert the value obtained in the field Actual length of the sensor after trimming in the section Settings-Calibration. |
|
5 | Wait 3 to 5 seconds to stabilize sensor readings. |
|
6 | Calibrate the sensor:
The calibration is finished. |

WARNING! Do not attempt to install, configure or remove any product from any vehicle while the vehicle is in motion or otherwise in operation. All installation, configuration or removal must be done only in stationary vehicles which are securely parked. Attempting to service units while being operated could result in malfunctions or accidents, leading to death or serious personal injury.
WARNING! All in-vehicle devices and related cabling must be securely fastened and kept clear of all vehicle controls, including accelerator, brake and clutch pedals. You must inspect devices and cabling on a regular basis to ensure that all devices and cabling continue to be securely attached. Loose cabling or devices may impede the use of vehicle controls, resulting in unanticipated acceleration, braking or other loss of vehicle control, which could lead to death or serious personal injury. Improperly fastened in-vehicle devices may detach and impact operators upon sudden acceleration or deceleration, which may cause injury.
WARNING! If, at any point after an in-vehicle device is installed, a warning light illuminates on the vehicle dashboard or the vehicle stalls or has a marked drop in performance, shut off the engine, remove the device and contact your reseller. Continuing to operate a vehicle with these symptoms can cause loss of vehicle control and serious injury.
WARNING! Your in-vehicle devices must be kept clear of debris, water and other environmental contaminants. Failure to do so may result in units malfunctioning or short-circuiting, which can lead to a fire hazard or vehicle damage or serious injury.
WARNING! Do not attempt to remove the devices from the vehicle in which they are originally installed for installation in another vehicle. Not all vehicles share compatibility, and doing so may result in unexpected interactions with your vehicle, including sudden loss of power or shutdown of the vehicle's engine while in operation or cause your vehicle to operate poorly or erratically and cause death or serious injury and/or vehicle damage.
NOTICE: This product does not contain any user-serviceable parts. Configuration, servicing and repairs must only be made by an authorized Reseller or installer. Unauthorized servicing of these products will void your product warranty.
