(0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)
Default configuration settings
Movement and ignition detection:
Vehicle movement will
be detected by
accelerometer
Ignition will be 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
vehicle is stationary
and ignition is off
Records sending to server:
If device has made a
record it is
sent to the
server every 120
seconds
After successful SMS configuration, FMB240 device will

Mounting recommendations
with a standard cable
•Connecting wires
▬Wires should be connected while the module is not plugged
in.
▬Wires should be fastened to stable wires or other non-
moving parts. Any heat emitting and/or moving objects
should be kept away from the wires.
▬There should be no exposed wires. If factory isolation was
removed while connecting the wires, the isolation material
should be applied.
▬If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they
can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc.,
additional isolation should be applied and the wires should
not be loose.
▬Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or
control units.
•Connecting power source
▬Be sure that after the car computer goes to sleep mode,
power might be still available on the power wires.
Depending on the car model, this may happen in 5 to 30
minutes period.
▬When the module is connected, measure the voltage again
to make sure it did not decrease.
▬It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in
the fuse box.
▬3 A, 125 V external fuse shall be used.
•Connecting ignition wire
▬Be sure to check if it is a real ignition wire i. e. power does
not disappear after starting the engine.
▬Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first
position, most of the vehicle electronics are available).
▬Check if power is still available when you turn off any of
vehicles devices.
▬Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As
alternative, any other relay, which has power output when
ignition is on, may be chosen.
•Connecting ground wire
▬Ground wire is connected to the vehicle frame or metal
parts that are fixed to the frame.
▬If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected
to the end of the wire.
▬For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is
going to be connected.
