Caution! If an incorrect type of battery is used for replacement, there is a high explosion risk.
Dispose of used batteries according to the environmental requirements.
For configuration use cables that were purchased from Ruptela. Ruptela is not responsible for
any harm or damage caused, while using wrong cables for the computer ↔ device
connection.
Attention! Do not connect the wires marked red (power supply) and black (chassis) to the
wrong battery poles. The device has reverse polarity protection, however if connected
incorrectly, the device will not work.
To disconnect the device from the power supply, you need to disconnect the 12 Pin plug from
the device or disconnect the wires from the vehicle’s power supply.
This crossed-out wheelie bin symbol means that waste equipment should not be disposed of
with your other household waste. The product must be taken to separate collection points at
the product’s end-of life.
This chapter contains procedures to help you safely use the FM device. By following these
requirements and recommendations, you will avoid dangerous situations. You must read these
instructions carefully and follow them strictly before operating the device! The device is supplied from
a car battery with these ratings: 6/12/24 V DC (12/24 V DC for 3G devices). The allowed voltage range
is from 6 volts to 31.5 volts DC (10 volts to 32 volts DC for 3G devices). The maximum allowed current
is 400 mA @ 6 V DC (500 mA @ 6 V DC for devices with an internal battery, 150 mA @ 12 V DC for 3G
devices) ( supplied from a SELV power supply source ).
To avoid mechanical damage, it is advised to transport the FM device in an impact-proof package.
Before connecting the wires of the 12 Pin cable to the vehicle, it is recommended to ensure that the
cross-sectional area of the wire mounting is at least 0.75 mm2. To correctly dismount the device from
the vehicle, first of all disconnect the power supply wires. Only then other plugs or wires can be
disconnected.
The device is intended to be installed in a restricted access location, which is not accessible for the
driver.

4Device preparation
In order for the device to work you have to
configure it and insert a SIM card. To do so, you
have to open the device enclosure and perform the
actions described below.
4.1 Opening/Closing the device
Use a screwdriver or a similar tool to open up the
plastic housing of the device. It is recommended to
use a flat-head type screwdriver ( see the picture
on the right ). Inappropriate tools might cause
permanent damage to the device.
To correctly assemble the device you have to know
the exact positions of all the plastic pins used to
hold the PCB in place ( see the picture on the
right ). These positions are listed in the table
below:
Proper assembly sequence:
1. Make sure that the PCB is facing upwards. Only then it can be mounted in its plastic housing.
2. The PCB goes under the intermediary plastic pin (1).
3. It is then mounted on the stabilizer (2).
4. The PCB must be correctly placed on the PCB support pin (3).
When the assembly sequence described above is completed, push the other side of the PCB down into
a stable position.
The plastic lid of the device can be mounted only
when all of the PCB pins are holding the PCB in a
stable position ( see the above picture ).
To correctly seal the plastic housing of the device,
start by placing the plastic lid at either side of the
device ( see the picture on the right ). Then push
the remaining side down until the housing is fully
closed.
