CONFIGURATION (WINDOWS)

At first FMC250 device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the users needs. Main configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator1 software. Get the latest Configurator version from here2. Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct version installed.

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

MS .NET REQUIREMENTS

Operating system| MS .NET Framework version| Version| Links
Windows Vista Windows 7 Windows 8.1Windows 10| MS .NET Framework 4.6.2|  32 and 64 bit|  www.microsoft.com

  1. dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net462


Downloaded Configurator will be in compressed archive. Extract it and launch Configurato r. exe. After launch software language can be changed by ducking 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 GNSS, GSM³, I/O4, Maintenance . 5 and etc. FMC250 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 settings can be configured and Data Acquisition – where data acquiring parameters can be configured.
More details about FMB130 configuration using Configurator can be found in our Wiki.

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. Iffactory 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 goes to sleep mode, power might be still available on the power wires. Depending on the car model, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
  • When the module is connected, measure the voltage again to make sure it did not decrease.
  • It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
  • Use 3 A , 125 V 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 IGNITION 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.
