1.2 Preparation for connection Before connecting FM-Xxx3 to PC please check if you have the latest configuration software. you can download it from here: ftp://dev.ruptela.lt (user name:ftp, password: ftp). At first connect device to +12/24V 1A/500mA power supply, this will prevent from damaging PC when FM-Xxx3 device is active.
1.3 Driver installation 1. When the FM-Xxx3 device is first time connected to PC the notification should pop up that new hardware was found and configuration window is shown (Fig. 1.3.1). Select „No, not this time“ and click „Next“ button. Fig.

3. In the next window select „Include this location in the search:“ and click „Browse“ and navigate to folder where configuration software is saved (i.e. F:\FM3 configurator 00.01.15) then click next(Fig. 1.3.3). Fig. 1.3.3 Driver installation 4. Then driver installation should proceed. If asked, click „Continue Anyway“ (Fig. 1.3.4). Fig.

4) and select “Disable” (Fig. 1.3.6). 5) When asked for confirmation click “Yes”. 6) Then, again, right-click on “FM3 type device (COMXX)” and 7) select “Enable” (Fig. 1.3.7). 8) Driver now should be completely installed and ready to use (Fig. 1.3.8). Fig.
2. Configurator In order to use configurator go to folder where you saved configuration software and launch „VCP.exe“ file. This configurator is intended to configure FM-Eco3, FM-Pro3 and FM-Tco3 devices. 2.1 Interfacing to COM port In the main view upper left corner there is a drop box which contains COM ports list. You should select port corresponding to your device (you can check it in “Device manager”) and click...
2.2 Global parameter configuration Global parameters are parameters which apply to the system in general. Global parameters are constant and do not change while device is working, unless they are configured by user (Fig.2.2.1). Fig. 2.2.1 Global parameter view Protocol is a formal description of digital message formats and the rules for exchanging those messages between system’s elements.
Fig. 2.2.2 SMS numbers and password SIM card number will be able to change configuration or do any other action with the device. 2.3 Profile configuration Data sending parameters (bottom left) are used to set-up sending rules. User can disable data sending via GPRS.

of the week(or whole week). Also similar options are available for timetable clearing. It is important to note that “Timetable” has higher priority than “Period” important. Lets say Period=3600s (1 hour) and timetable allows sending only from 12:30 to12:40 that day. If sending will start at 00:00, next time it will send data at about 01:00.

Fig. 2.3.3 Data collection options view •“Always on” – device collects records only according to “Time with engine”(i.e. Time without engine=120s, Time with engine=60s, then it will always collect data with 60s time-out) •“Ignition (DIN4)” – device considers that it is moving when ignition is turned on ( on digital input 4 (DIN4) voltage level is high)(i.e.

Fig. 2.3.4 Operator list options button Fig. 2.3.5 Operator list view IO events settings are located in the bottom right corner on the main view and are accessible by clicking “Options” button (Fig. 2.3.6). IO is a specific property, which can be measured by FM-Xxx3 device and sent to server.

6.Set “Average” (averaging is used to ensure that IO value is long time result and not short impulse value). Some parameters, which has static values (like iButton ID) ignores averaging. 7.Select “Event on”(Monitoring – no event generation, only include value to record; Hysteresis – event generation defined by “Level”...
Fig. 2.3.8 Hysteresis explanation Some IO options have conventional parameter measurement units (analog inputs, temperature measurements, etc.) while others are defined in specific standards ( as CAN FMS 2.0). Sleep can be enabled (Fig. 2.3.9) to reduce power usage of the device, but sleep also reduces response from device, because GSM modem and GPS are switched off (device does not collect records based on GPS information and does not respond to SMS commands).
Different device types (FM-Eco3, FM-Pro3, FM-Tco3) have slightly different configuration options. So when configuring without connected device, pay attention to which type is selected (Fig. 2.1.3). Each device type has its own configuration file extension: FM-Eco3 – .fe3c, FM-Pro3 – .fp3c, FM-Tco3 – .ft3c.
“Send FW” button (on the middle left on the main view (Fig 3.1)), it opens dialogue window search for firmware file. Different device type has its own firmware file: FM-Eco3 – .efwe, FM-Pro3 – .efwp, FM-Tco3 – .efwt. User has to open device COM port, click “Send FW”, navigate to appropriate folder, select file and click “Open”...
