personnel.
The device must be firmly fastened in the predefined
location.
The programming must be performed using a second
class PC (with autonomic power supply).
The device is susceptible to water and humidity.
Any installation and/or handling during a lightning
storm are prohibited.

1.2 Instructions of safety
This chapter contains information on how to operate FM5500 safely. 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!
To avoid mechanical damage, it is advised to transport the FM5500 device in an impact-
proof package. Before usage, the device should be placed so that its LED indicators are visible,
which show the status of operation the device is in.
When connecting the connection (2x10) cables to the vehicle, the appropriate jumpers of
the power supply of the vehicle should be disconnected.
Before dismounting the device from the vehicle, the 2x10 connection must be
disconnected.
The device is designed to be mounted in a zone of limited access, which is inaccessible for
the operator. All related devices must meet the requirements of standard EN 60950-1.
The device FM5500 is not designed as a navigational device for boats.

2.5 Technical Information about internal battery
550 mAh Sealed Ni-MH Prismatic Battery pack, 8.4V, 550 mA, 4,62 Wh.
FM5500 operating time with internal backup battery depends on temperature, data
sending frequency (SMS and GPRS), and accumulator age, number of charge/discharge cycles.
For example:
In sleep mode a new FM5500 device, operating time approximately 15 hours
In deep sleep mode 137 hours
Operating time for a new FM5500 device, working in normal mode (records are
being acquired every 10 sec. and sent in packets of 4 records every 60 sec.), is
approximately 2 h 30 min.
2.6 FM5300 hardware modification for external backup battery.
Special version of FM5300 allows to connect additional external backup battery. Such
FM5300 modification should be purchased by special order. Contact sales manager for details.
Operating from backup accumulator:
Uext > Ubat -> Uext.
Ubat > Uext -> Ubat
FM5300 should be connected only with 8 V Sealed lead rechargeable batteries
(accumulators). Teltonika is not responsible for any harm caused by using wrong accumulator
type.

When connecting a COM port to an active external device keep in mind that
the first power supply must be connected to FM5500, and then the external
device should be powered. Connecting external devices when FM5500 is
powered off is not recommended.

3.6 USB
When FM5500 is connected to a PC it creates a STM Virtual COM Port, which can be used
as a system port (to flash firmware and configure the device).

3.7 Accessories
Note: Teltonika does not provide any additional equipment like panic
buttons, door sensors or other, except of 1 wire devices: TTJ-101 thermo
sensor and I-Button. These devices are not included in FM5500 package and can
be offered by special order only.
_____________________________
* FM5500 with external battery is available as separate device. Do not try connecting any external batteries on a standard
FM55 device.
