How to install USB drivers
(Windows)
1. Please download COM port drivers from here.
2. Extract and run TeltonikaCOMDriver.exe.
3. Click Next in driver installation window.
4. In the following window click Install button.
Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually the
confirmation window will appear. Click Finish to complete the setup.
PC Connection (Windows)
1. Power-up TFT100 with DC voltage (10 –97 V) power supply using
power cable. LED’s should start blinking, see “LED indications”.
2. Connect device to computer using Micro-USB cable or Bluetooth
connection:
•Using Micro-USB cable
▬You will need to install USB drivers, see “How to install USB
drivers (Windows)”
•Using Bluetooth
▬TFT100 Bluetooth is enabled by default. Turn on Bluetooth
on your PC, then select Add Bluetooth or other device >
Bluetooth. Choose your device named –
“TFT100_last_7_imei_digits”, without LE in the end. Enter
default password 5555, press Connect and then select
Done.
3. You are now ready to use the device on your computer.
Configuration (Windows)
At first TFT100 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 Configurator version from here.Configurator operates
on Microsoft Windows OS and uses prerequisite MS .NET Framework.
Make sure you have the correct version installed.

and launch Configurator.exe. After launch software language can be
changed by clicking in the right bottom corner (Figure 8 Language
selection).

Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device (Figure
9 Device connected via USB).
After connection to Configurator Status window will be displayed
(Figure 10 Configurator Status window).
Various Status window tabs display information about GNSS,GSM,
I/O, Maintenance and etc. TFT100 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 TFT100 configuration using Configurator can be
found in our Wiki.

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:
Note: Before SMS text, two space symbols should be inserted.
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)
Default configuration settings
Movement and ignition detection:
Vehicle movement will
be detected by
accelerometer
Ignition will be detected
by vehicle power voltage
between 10 –97 V or
CAN
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, TFT100 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.

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 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.
•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. 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 TFT100 operation and even its failure.
