Wiring Scheme

A diagram illustrates the wiring connections for Ignition Detection, Alarm Button, Door Sensor, Fuel Gauge, Buzzer, LED Lights, Starter, Analog LLS Sensor, and Power Supply (10-30V DC). The diagram shows how these components connect to the device's pins (1-5) via power and signal wires.

Set Up Your Device: How to Insert Micro-SIM Card

1. Cover Removal: Gently remove FMC920 cover using a plastic pry tool from both sides.
2. Micro-SIM Card Insert: Insert Micro-SIM card with PIN request disabled. Ensure the Micro-SIM card's cut-off corner points towards the slot.
3. Removing Protection: Remove the adhesive tape protection.
4. Placing Battery: Place the battery inside the casing, ensuring adhesive tape sticks to the casing.
5. Connecting Battery: Connect the internal battery to the FMC920 PCB.
6. Attaching Cover Back: Attach the device cover back. The device is ready to be connected.

PC Connection (Windows)

1. Power up the FMC920 with a 10-30 V DC power supply. LEDs should start blinking.
2. Connect the device to your computer via Micro-USB cable or Bluetooth.
   • Micro-USB: Install USB drivers (see "How to install USB drivers (Windows)").
   • Bluetooth: Turn on Bluetooth on your PC, select "Add Bluetooth or other device > Bluetooth", choose your device named "FMC920_last_7_imei_digits" (without LE), enter the default password "5555", press Connect, and then select Done.
3. The device is now ready to use on your computer.

How to Install USB Drivers (Windows)

1. Download COM port drivers from here.
2. Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.

Configuration

The FMC920 comes with default factory settings. These can be changed using the Teltonika Configurator software, available from here. The Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and requires MS .NET Framework.

MS .NET Requirements

After connecting the device, the Configurator's Status window displays information about GNSS, GSM, I/O, and Maintenance. You can load and save configurations, update firmware, read records, and reboot the device. Key sections include GPRS settings and Data Acquisition.

Main buttons functionality:

• Load from device: Loads configuration from the device.
• Save to device: Saves configuration to the device.
• Load from file: Loads configuration from a file.
• Save to file: Saves configuration to a file.
• Update firmware: Updates firmware on the device.
• Read records: Reads records from the device.
• Reboot device: Restarts the device.
• Reset configuration: Sets the device configuration to default.

Quick SMS Configuration

Optimize performance and data usage by sending the following SMS command:

setparam 2001:APN;2002:APN_username;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006:0

GPRS SETTINGS:

• 2001 – APN
• 2002 – APN username (leave empty if none)
• 2003 – APN password (leave empty if none)

SERVER SETTINGS:

• 2004 – Domain
• 2005 – Port
• 2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)

Note: Insert two space symbols before the SMS text.

Default Configuration Settings

Movement and Ignition Detection:

• Vehicle movement is detected by the accelerometer.
• Ignition is detected by vehicle power voltage between 13.2 – 30 V.

Device Makes a Record on Moving if One of These Events Happen:

• 300 seconds passes.
• Vehicle turns 10 degrees.
• Vehicle drives 100 meters.
• Speed difference between last coordinate and current position is greater than 10 km/h.

Device Makes a Record on Stop if:

• 1 hour passes while the vehicle is stationary and ignition is off.
• If the device has made a record, it is sent to the server every 120 seconds.

After SMS configuration, the FMC920 synchronizes time and updates records. Time intervals and I/O elements can be changed via Teltonika Configurator or SMS parameters.

Mounting Recommendations

Connecting Wires

• Fasten wires to other non-moving parts, avoiding heat-emitting objects.
• Ensure connections are not easily visible. Reapply factory isolation if removed.
• Apply additional isolation for wires in exterior or exposed locations.
• Do not connect wires to board computers or control units.

Connecting Power Source

• Verify power availability after the car computer sleeps (5-30 minutes).
• Measure voltage after connection to ensure it hasn't decreased.
• Connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
• Use a 3A, 125V external fuse.

Connecting Ignition Wire

• Ensure it's a real ignition wire (power doesn't disappear after starting the engine).
• Check it's not an ACC wire (power available in the first key position).
• Verify power availability when turning off vehicle devices.
• Connect to the ignition relay output or any other relay with power output when ignition is on.

Connecting Ground Wire

• Connect the ground wire to the vehicle frame or metal parts fixed to the frame.
• If using a bolt, connect the loop to the end of the wire.
• Scrub paint from the connection spot for better contact.
