Installation guide and video
This page will guide you on how to mount a Teltonika Vehicle Telematics device
properly, which is an important procedure to allow the device to function
correctly and effectively. Embedded below is a short video showing the general
steps to install Teltonika Vehicle Telematics devices. The device in the video
is an FM3622, but these steps can also be applied to most other devices.
Note: Devices like the FMT100 and FMB0XY series devices (FMB001, FMB002,
FMB003, FMB010, FMB020, FMC001) have their own special simplified installation
process, so this video does not apply to them.

Teltonika devices come with the internal backup battery disconnected (unless
specially ordered), so before installation, you must open the device and
connect the battery. While the device casing is open, insert the SIM card you
will use with your device. Step-by-step instructions on how to open your
device can be found in your device’s wiki page, in the First Start section.

Unless your device has a special installation method, the device will have to
be connected to wires inside the dashboard. Use the multimeter to find the
main power wire by testing wires until the multimeter reads around 12-13 V.
Then, locate a chassis ground point where the device Ground wire should be
connected. Optionally, you can also locate the Ignition wire by checking for
voltage changes of various wires when turning the ignition on/off.
Connect
Connect power cable, ground cable, optional ignition wire.
Video timestamp 3:38
When the power wire is located, use a wire clip to connect the appropriate
input from the device to the power wire. If you want to connect the ignition
wire, use another wire clip to connect it in a similar way. Afterward, connect
the ground wire to the chassis ground point.
External GNSS and GPRS
Thread external GNSS and GPRS antennas (if needed according to device
model).
Video timestamp 5:18
If your device uses external antennas, thread them through the dashboard and
fasten them in place. The external GNSS antenna receiver should be as close to
the windshield as possible, obstructed by the least amount of metal. Likewise,
devices with internal antennas should be also placed as close to the
windshield as possible.
Check device functionality and reassemble dashboard.
Video timestamp 5:18
After connecting all the necessary connections to the device, check to see if
the device is turning on and the LEDs are blinking. Both LEDs (Status and
Navigate indicators) should eventually both blink once every second. This
indicates that the device is working and has acquired a GPS fix.
Fasten device inside dashboard, connect antennas and cables.
Video timestamp 6:00
When you’ve decided on the installation spot for the device, fasten it using
the fasteners, connect the antennas, and other cables.
There are also Mounting Recommendations mentioned in the First Start guide for every Teltonika device. For example:
