- Ensure the SIM card is securely seated.
- Close the device casing.
2.4 Power Connection
Connect the power supply wires to the device's power input pins (+10...30V DC and GND). Ensure correct polarity to prevent damage. The device is designed for a 10-30V DC power source.
2.5 Input/Output Connections
The FMC130 offers flexible input/output configurations. Refer to the pinout diagram (Figure 1) for specific pin assignments.
- Digital Inputs (DIN): Connect sensors or switches that provide a digital signal (on/off). DIN2-N/AIN1 and DIN3/AIN2 can also be configured as negative inputs or analog inputs.
- Analog Inputs (AIN): Use for sensors that provide a variable voltage output, such as fuel level sensors.
- Digital Outputs (DOUT): Connect relays or other actuators to control external devices based on configured scenarios.
- 1-Wire: For connecting digital temperature sensors or iButton identification readers.
3. Operating Instructions
3.1 Device Status Indicators
The FMC130 features two LED indicators:
- STATUS LED: Indicates the device's operational status, including network connectivity and data transmission. Refer to the official Teltonika documentation for detailed LED patterns.
- NAVIGATE LED: Indicates the GNSS (GPS) status, such as satellite fix acquisition.
3.2 Basic Operation
Once powered on and configured, the FMC130 will automatically begin tracking and transmitting data according to its programmed parameters. Data is typically sent to a designated server via the cellular network.
3.3 Advanced Configuration
The FMC130 is highly configurable using Teltonika's configuration software. This allows users to:
- Set up data logging intervals and transmission frequencies.
- Configure input triggers for events (e.g., ignition on/off, door open/close).
- Define output control scenarios (e.g., immobilizer activation, alarm).
- Manage Bluetooth connectivity for various accessories.
- Adjust GNSS settings for optimal performance.
4. Maintenance
4.1 Battery Care
The FMC130 includes an internal Li-ion backup battery. While designed for longevity, avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures for extended periods, as this can affect battery life. The battery is primarily for backup power during main power loss.
4.2 Firmware Updates
Periodically check the official Teltonika website for firmware updates. Keeping the device firmware up-to-date ensures optimal performance, security, and access to new features. Firmware updates are typically performed via Teltonika's configuration tools.
4.3 Cleaning
Clean the device exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Ensure the device is powered off before cleaning.
5. Troubleshooting
- Device Not Powering On:
- Verify that the power supply is within the 10-30V DC range and correctly connected to the +DC and GND pins.
- Check for any loose connections or damaged wiring.
- No Network Connectivity (STATUS LED behavior):
- Ensure the SIM card is correctly inserted and activated with a valid data plan.
- Check the cellular network coverage in the device's location.
- Verify APN settings in the device configuration.
- No GPS Signal (NAVIGATE LED behavior):
- Ensure the device has a clear view of the sky, free from obstructions.
- Avoid installing the device in enclosed metal compartments that can block satellite signals.
- Incorrect Data Readings:
- Review the device configuration for input settings (e.g., analog input scaling, digital input logic).
- Check the wiring of connected sensors for proper connection and functionality.
