Enter default password 5555, press Connect and then
select Done.
4. You are now ready to use the device on your computer.
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.
Configuration (Windows)
At first FMBC225 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 5.0. Make sure you have the
correct version installed.

Configuration process begins by pressing on connected device
(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. FMC225 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 FMC225 configuration using Configurator can
be found in our Wiki.

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.

Mounting recommendations
with U-type cable
•Device fastening
▬Locate the battery in your vehicle. If present remove the
battery cover to access the battery.
▬You can use a double-sided tape to attach the device on the
battery as well as a fastening straps to mount it anywhere
next to the battery. Please make sure, that the GNSS
antenna and LEDs indicators are facing up Figure 13.
•Connecting power wire
▬Device power wire is designed to be directly connected to
the positive terminal fastener of the vehicle battery
•Connecting ground wire
▬Device ground wire is designed to be directly connected to
the negative terminal fastener of the vehicle battery.
