TELTONIKA FMB641 Thermograph 2G Tracker

Specifications

  • Product Name: FMB641 Thermograph
  • Supported Thermographs: Euroscan, DataCold600, Transcan2, TouchPrint
  • Interface: RS-232
  • Communication: Full-duplex

Introduction
With an increasing demand for cold-chain supply chains, Teltonika is offering the ability to monitor real-time information from freezer trailer thermographs. Each thermograph has an RS232 communication line where FMB641 devices can connect via COM1/COM2 port of the device. The  solution is easy to install and configure. This allows you to monitor the main information of thefreezer trailer such as Temperature, Fridge door status, Alarms, etc., and generate events according to your needs. For more information please refer to the installation manual below.

NOTE: t his feature is available from FW ver. 01.02.23.Rev.00

Product Usage Instructions

Installation Guide:

  • Connect the FMB641 to the desired thermograph using the appropriate RS-232 interface.

RS-232 Interface
RS-232 supports full-duplex communication which means the data can be both sent and received at the same time as they use separate transmission lines. Most of the modes are the same as for FMB641. When entering Sleep or Deep sleep RS-232 will be powered off. FMB641 RS-232
