Downloaded Configurator will be in compressed archive. Extract it and launch Configurator.exe. After launch software language can be changed by clicking in the right bottom corner.
Configuration process begins by pressing on 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. FMB900 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 device using Save to device button. Main buttons offer following functionality:
- Load from device – loads configuration from device.
- Save to device – saves configuration to device.
- Load from file – loads configuration from file.
- Save to file – saves configuration to file.
- Update firmware – updates firmware on device.
- Read records – reads records from the device.
- Reboot device – restarts device.
- Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.

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 FMM003 configuration using Configurator can be found in our Wiki8.

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.

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).
UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking is a conformity mark that indicates conformity with the applicable requirements for above described products sold within Great Britain.
The RoHS1 is a directive regulating the manufacture, import and distribution of Electronics and Electrical Equipment (EEE) within the EU, which bans from use 10 different hazardous materials (to date).
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.
The Declaration EAC and the Certificate EAC in conformity with the technical regulation TR CU of the EurAsEC Customs Union are EAC certification documents issued by independent organizations. Such organizations perform their function through laboratories accredited to the public agencies in charge of the supervision of metrology and standardization in the three countries of the EAC Custom Union, joining at the moment the certification system : Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Armenia and Kyrgyzstan.
E-Mark and e-Mark are the European conformity marks issued by the transport sector, indicating that the products comply with relevant laws and regulations or directives. Vehicles and related products need to go through the E-Mark certification process to be legally sold in Europe.

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.
The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof.
