6.1 Precautions
How to insert Micro-SIM card
Gently remove FMB920 cover using plastic pry tool from both sides.1.

Configuration (Windows)
At first FMB920 device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed
according to the user's needs.
Main configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator software. Get the latest FMB920
Configurator version from here. Configurator operates on Microsoft Windows OS and uses
prerequisite MS .NET Framework. Make sure you have the correct version installed.

Downloaded Configurator will be in compressed archive. Extract it and launch Configurator.exe.
After launch software language can be changed by clicking in the right bottom corner:
Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device:
After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed:
Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS, GSM, I/O, Maintenance and etc.
FMB920 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:
Load from device – loads configuration from device.1.
Save to device – saves configuration to device.2.
Load from file – loads configuration from file.3.
Save to file – saves configuration to file.4.
Update firmware – updates firmware on device.5.
Read records – read records from device.6.
Reboot device – restarts device.7.
Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.8.
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 FMB920 configuration using Configurator can be found here.
Quick SMS configuration
Default configuration has optimal parameters present to ensure best performance of track quality
and data usage.

Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it:
" setparam
2001:APN;2002:APN_username;2003:APN_password;2004:Domain;2005:Port;2006:0"
GPRS settings:
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 – Port
2006 – Data sending protocol (0 – TCP, 1 – UDP)
Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.
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, FMB920 device will synchronize time and update records to
configured server. Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using Teltonika
Configurator or SMS parameters.
Quick start guide

Mounting recommendations
Connecting wires
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
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 car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
When module is connected, measure 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.
PAY ATTENTION! Connecting the power supply must be carried out in a very low impedance
point of on-board vehicle network. These points in the car are the battery terminals.
Therefore, we recommend connecting the power of FMB920 (GND and POWER wires)
directly to the battery terminals. Another valid option is to connect the wires to the main
POWER cable inside the fuse box (if there is none, then to the power supply where the fuses
of vehicle’s computer are), GND wire must be connected in a special point, designed to
connect GND vehicle computer. Connecting the GND at an arbitrary point to the mass of the
car is unacceptable, as static and dynamic potentials on the line GND will be unpredictable,
which can lead to unstable FMB920 operation and even its failure.

Installation photos
FMB920 is the device that has internal GNSS and GSM antenna.
Device should be mounted with the sticker view to the open sky (metal free). FMB920 area with
sticker is shown in figure below:
FMB920 can be mounted under the plastic panel behind the front window, with the sticker /
engraving direction to a window (sky). It is recommended to place FMB920 behind dashboard as
close to the window as possible or in a place that is not covered with metal and has no moving parts
if you are using it on a motorcycle.
SIM card should be inserted in the module while the connector is plugged off (while module has no
power).
Safety information
This message contains information on how to operate FMB920 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!
The device uses SELV limited power source. The nominal voltage is +12 V DC. The allowed
voltage range is +6..+30V DC.
To avoid mechanical damage, it is advised to transport the device in an impact-proof package.
Before usage, the device should be placed so that its LED indicators are visible. They show the
status of device operation.
When connecting the connection (1x5) cables to the vehicle, the appropriate jumpers of the
vehicle power supply should be disconnected.
Before unmounting the device from the vehicle, the 1x5 connection must be disconnected.
The device is designed to be mounted in a zone of limited access, which is inaccessible to the
operator. All related devices must meet the requirements of EN 60950-1 standard.
The device FMB920 is not designed as a navigational device for boats.
Precautions
Do not disassemble the device. If the device is damaged, the power supply cables are
not isolated or the isolation is damaged, DO NOT touch the device before unplugging
the power supply.
All wireless data transferring devices produce interference that may affect other
devices which are placed nearby.
The device must be connected only by qualified personnel.
The device must be firmly fastened in a predefined location.
The programming must be performed using a PC with autonomic power supply.
The device is susceptible to water and humidity.
Installation and/or handling during a lightning storm is prohibited.
