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 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.
Use 3A, 125V external fuse.

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.

Before unmounting the device from the vehicle, the 2×6 connector 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 62368-1 standard.
The device FMB225 is not designed as a navigational device for boats.

	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.
	Installation and/or handling during a lightning storm is prohibited.
	The device is susceptible to water and humidity.
	Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
	Battery should not be disposed of with general household waste. Bring damaged or worn-out batteries to your local recycling center or dispose them to battery recycle bin found in stores.

CERTIFICATION AND APPROVALS

	This sign on the package means that it is necessary to read the User‘s Manual before your start using the device. Full User‘s Manual version can be found in our Wiki1. 1 wiki.teltonika-gps.com/index.php?title=FMB225
	Hereby, Teltonika declare under our sole responsibility that the above described product is in conformity with the relevant Community harmonization: European Directive 2014/53/EU (RED).
	The RoHS1 is a directive regulating the manufacture, import and distribution of Electronics and Electrical Equipment (EEE) within the EU, which bans from use 10 different hazardous materials (to date).
	UK Conformity Assessed (UKCA) marking is a conformity mark that indicates conformity with the applicable requirements for above described products sold within Great Britain.
	The standard aims to provide users more detailed information than vague marketing terms such as waterproof.
	For more information, see the ANATEL website www.anatel.gov.br This equipment is not entitled to protection against harmful interference and must not cause interference in duly authorized systems.
	This sign on the package means that all used electronic and electric equipment should not be mixed with general household waste.

	REACH addresses the production and use of chemical substances, and their potential impacts on both human health and the environment. Its 849 pages took seven years to pass, and it has been described as the most complex legislation in the Union’s history and the most important in 20 years. It is the strictest law to date regulating chemical substances and will affect industries throughout the world.

DECLARATION OF IMEI ASSIGNMENT
The IMEI number is used by a GSM network to identify valid devices and therefore can be used for stopping a stolen phone from accessing that network. For example, if a mobile phone is stolen, the owner can call their network provider and instruct them to blacklist the phone using its IMEI number. This renders the phone useless on that network and sometimes other networks too, whether or not the phone’s subscriber identity module (SIM) is changed.
