MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

CONNECTING WIRES

Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving parts. Try to avoid heat emitting and moving objects near the wires.
The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires, it should be applied again.
If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be applied.
Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or control units.

CONNECTING POWER SOURCE

Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on chosen wire. Depending on car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
When module is connected, measure voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.
It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
Use 3A, 125V external fuse.

CONNECTING IGNITION WIRE

Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does not disappear after starting the engine.
Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).
Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.
Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay, which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.

CONNECTING GROUND WIRE

Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.
For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.

CERTIFICATION AND APPROVALS

This sign on the package means that it is necessary to read the User‘s Manual before your start using the device. Full User‘s Manual version can be found in our Wiki1.
1 wiki.teltonika-gps.com/index.php?title=FMB209
Hereby, Teltonika declare under our sole responsibility that the above described product is in conformity with the relevant Community harmonization: European Directive 2014/53/EU (RED).
REACH addresses the production and use of chemical substances, and their potential impacts on both human health and the environment. Its 849 pages took seven years to pass, and it has been described as the most complex legislation in the Union’s history and the most important in 20 years. It is the strictest law to date regulating chemical substances and will affect industries throughout the world.
This sign on the package means that all used electronic and electric equipment should not be mixed with general household waste.
DECLARATION OF IMEI ASSIGNMENT
The IMEI number is used by a GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used for stopping a stolen phone from accessing that network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call their network provider and instruct them to blacklist the phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless on that network and sometimes other networks too, whether or not the phone’s subscriber identity module (SIM) is changed.
