(Figure 11 Device connected via USB).
After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed
(Figure 12 Configurator Status window).
Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS,GSM,
I/O, Maintenance and etc. FMB910 has one user editable profile,
which can be loaded and saved to the device. After any
modification of configuration the changes need to be saved to
device using Save to device button. Main buttons offer following
functionality:
1. Load from device –loads configuration from device.
2. Save to device –saves configuration to device.
3. Load from file –loads configuration from file.
4. Save to file –saves configuration to file.
5. Update firmware –updates firmware on device.
6. Read records –reads records from the device.
7. Reboot device –restarts device.
8. Reset configuration –sets device configuration to
default.
Most important configurator section is GPRS –where all your
server and GPRS settings can be configured and Data Acquisition –
where data acquiring parameters can be configured.
More details about FMB910 configuration using Configurator can
be found in our Wiki.

•
2001
–APN
•
2002
–APN username (if there
are no APN username, empty
field should be left)
•
2003
–APN password (if there
are no APN password, empty
field should be left)
Server settings:
•
2004
–Domain
•
2005

(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

Mounting recommendations
•Connecting wires
▬Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non-moving
parts. Try to avoid heat emitting and moving objects near
the wires.
▬The connections should not be seen very clearly. If factory
isolation was removed while connecting wires, it should be
applied again.
▬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.
▬Wires cannot be connected to the board computers or
control units.
•Connecting power source
▬Be sure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still
available on chosen wire. Depending on car, 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.
