3.6 USB connection
For connecting FM1200 device to PC, special USB cable is used. On one side of
the cable there is usual USB plug, which should be connected to PC. Other side of the
cable has connector to connect with FM1200. Cable can be connected after removing
cover of FM1200:

15
Figure 6. USB cable connection to the FM1200 device
Please note that FM1200 device must be connected to the power supply
before it can be connected to the PC!
When FM1200 is connected to PC, it creates an STM Virtual COM Port, which can
be used as a system port (to flash firmware and configure the device):

Fuel Tank sensors
A fuel tank level sensor exists in most
cars, which shows the approximate fuel level in
the driver’s indicator panel. It is possible to
connect FM1200 Analog input to it (if sensor
returns analogue signal proportional to fuel
level). Figure shows the connection scheme to
the FM1200 and fuel tank sensor. After the
connection to the tank fuel level sensor,
calibration is needed. Calibration is needed
because most fuel tank sensors are not linear.
Calibration is performed by measuring voltage
dependence on volume of fuel in tank.
Alarm buttons, door sensors, etc.
Alarm buttons, door sensors, ignition, etc. return two states: high or low voltage.
Digital inputs are used to read this information. Figure below shows how to connect alarm
button, door sensor, etc.

In cases when sensor output signal is negative, an additional relay has to be
installed to convert negative signal to positive.

When connected as shown below, FM1200 disables engine starter when output is
OFF. More details about relays can be found below.

Relays
An ordinary automotive relay is used to invert input signal or to immobilize engine
starter. Note, that they are available as 12 V or 24 V.

4 FIRMWARE
4.1 Updating firmware using USB cable
FM1200 functionality is always improving, new firmware versions are developed.
Current module firmware version can be retrieved from Configurator. See configuration
description for details.
Contact sales manager to get the latest firmware.
Updater is needed to update the firmware. It can be downloaded from:
http://avl1.teltonika.lt/downloads/FM12/
Firmware must to be copied to “Firmware updater” folder. Only one firmware must
be in folder.
Connect FM1200 to PC with the USB cable. Launch “Firmware Updater”, select
COM port to which device is connected, click connect, and when IMEI and Firmware
version fields are filled, start the update. Device needs some time to send IMEI and
Firmware version, so do not be afraid if IMEI will not show up immediately, disconnect
and after 1-2 minutes try to connect again. Update process may take up to several
minutes.

Figure 15. FM1200 firmware updating finished
When you see a table like in Figure 15, it means that the firmware is flashed to
FM1200 successfully. You may now close the update window and start using your
FM1200 device.
5 OPERATIONAL BASICS
5.1 Operational principals
FM1200 module is designed to acquire records and send them to the server.
Records contain GPS data and I/O information. Module uses GPS receiver to acquire
GPS data and is powered with three data acquire methods: time-based, distance-based
and angle-based method. Note, that if FM1200 loses connection to GPS satellites, it
continues to make records, however coordinate in these records remains the same (last
known coordinate). Method’s details are described in section 5.13. All data is stored in
flash memory and later can be sent via GPRS or SMS. GPRS mode is the most preferred
data sending mode. SMS mode is mostly used in areas without GPRS coverage or
GPRS usage is too expensive.
GPRS and SMS settings are described in later sections. FM1200 communicates
with server using special data protocol. Data protocol is described in “FMXXXX
Protocols” document.
FM1200 can be managed by SMS commands. SMS Command list is described in
SMS COMMAND LIST section. Module configuration can be performed over TCP or via
SMS. Configuration parameters and modes are described in “FMXXXX Protocols”
document.
5.2 Sleep modes
5.2.1 Sleep mode
FM1200 is able to go to Sleep mode after configurable Sleep timeout. This timeout
(defined period) starts counting when device is in STOP mode. After timeout is reached
and all conditions for sleep mode are met, device goes to sleep mode. While in sleep
mode, FM1200 turns GPS module off and it is not making new periodic records. Only
event records is being recorded with last known coordinate and sent to AVL server. As a
result power usage decreases allowing saving vehicle battery.
