   • Device is ready to be connected.

PC CONNECTION (WINDOWS)

1. Power-up TFT100 with a DC voltage 10 – 97V power supply using the supplied power cable. LEDs should start blinking, see “LED behavior description”.
2. Connect the device to the computer using a Micro-USB cable or Bluetooth connection:
   • Using a Micro-USB cable
   • You will need to install USB drivers, see “How to install USB drivers (Windows)”
   • Using Bluetooth
   • TFT100 Bluetooth is enabled by default. Turn on Bluetooth on your PC, then select Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth. Choose your device named – “TFT100_last_7_imei_digits”, without LE in the end. Enter default password 5555, press Connect, and then select Done.
3. You are now ready to use the device on your computer.

HOW TO INSTALL USB DRIVERS (WINDOWS)

1. Please download COM port drivers from here1.
2. Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.
3. Click Next in the driver installation window.
4. In the following window click the Install button.
5. Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually, the confirmation window will appear. Click Finish to complete the setup.

CONFIGURATION

• At first, the TFT100 device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the user’s needs. The main configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator1 software. Get the latest Configurator version from here2.
• Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses the prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct version installed.

2. wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/Teltonika_Configurator_versions

MS .NET REQUIREMENTS

• Downloaded Configurator will be in the compressed archive. Extract it and launch Configurator.exe. After launch software language can be changed by clicking ? in the right bottom corner.
• The configuration process begins by pressing on a connected device.
• After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed.
• Various Status window1 tabs display information about GNSS2, GSM3, I/O4, Maintenance5 and etc. TFT100 has one user-editable profile, which can be loaded and saved to the device.
• After any modification of configuration, the changes need to be saved to the device using the Save to Device button. Main buttons offer the following functionality:
• Load from the device – loads configuration from the device.
• Save to device – saves the configuration to the device.
• Load from file – loads configuration from file.
• Save to file – saves the configuration to file.
• Update firmware – updates the firmware on the device.
• Read records – reads records from the device.
• Reboot the device – restart the device.
• Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.
• The most important configurator section is GPRS – where all your server and GPRS settings6 can be configured and Data Acquisition7 – where data acquiring parameters can be configured.
• More details about TFT100 configuration using Configurator can be found in our Wiki8.

QUICK SMS CONFIGURATION

The default configuration has optimal parameters present to ensure the best performance of track quality and data usage.

Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it:

Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.

GPRS SETTINGS:

1. 2001 – APN
2. 2002 – APN username (if there are no APN usernames, an empty field should be left)
3. 2003 – APN password (if there are no APN passwords, an empty field should be left)
   • SERVER SETTINGS:
4. 2004 – Domain
5. 2005 – Port
6. 2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

MOVEMENT AND IGNITION DETECTION:

• VEHICLE MOVEMENT
  • will be detected by the accelerometer
• IGNITION
  • will be detected by vehicle power voltage between 12 – 30 V
• DEVICE MAKES A RECORD ON STOP IF:
  • 1 HOUR PASSES while the vehicle is stationary
• EVERY 120 SECOND
  • it is sent to the server If the device has made a record

THE DEVICE MAKES A RECORD OF MOVING IF ONE OF THESE EVENTS HAPPEN:

• PASSES
  • 300 seconds
• VEHICLE DRIVES
  • 100 meters
• VEHICLE TURNS
  • 10 degrees
• SPEED DIFFERENCE
  • between the last coordinate and current position is greater than 10 km/h
• Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using Teltonika Configurator https://wiki.teltonika-gps.com/view/TFT100_Firmware_and_configurator

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

CONNECTING WIRES

• Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged in.
• Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other non-moving parts. Any heat-emitting and/or moving objects should be kept away from the wires.
• There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was removed while connecting wires, the isolation material should be applied.
• 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 and the wires should not be loose.

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 a 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 the vehicle devices.
• The ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As an alternative, any other relay, that has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.

CONNECTING GROUND WIRE

• A 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 the loop is going to be connected.
• PAY ATTENTION! Connecting the power supply must be carried out in a very low impedance point of the on-board vehicle network. These points in the car are the battery terminals. Therefore, we recommend connecting the power of TFT100 (GND and POWER wires) directly to the battery terminals. Another valid option is to connect the wires to the main POWER cable inside the fuse box (if there is none, then to the power supply where the fuses of the vehicle’s computer are), GND wire must be connected at a special point, designed to connect GND vehicle computer. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary point to the mass of the car is unacceptable, as static and dynamic potentials on the line GND will be unpredictable, which can lead to unstable TFT100 operation and even failure.
