1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. SAFETY REQUIREMENTS All the associated (additional) equipments as PC, batteries, sensors and others, shall meet the requirements of standard EN60950-1. Do not disassemble the Terminal. If the enclosure of Terminal is damaged, or the insulation of wires is damaged, first of all unplug the 10 pins connector from the Terminal carefully.

1A/500mA. The allowed voltage range for battery: 10…32V DC. To avoid mechanical damage, it is advised to transport the Terminal FM-Pro3 in an impact- proof package. Before connecting the wires of 12 pins plug to the vehicle, ensure that 10 pins plug is sectional area of mounting wires is at disconnected from the Terminal.
• SMS – Short Message Service. • AC/DC – Alternating Current/Direct Current. • Record – Data stored in FM-Pro3 memory. Data contains GPS and I/O Information. • FMS – an optional standard interface of different truck manufacturers. • Simplified RS232 - connection standard between different pieces of equipment. Simplified RS232 has only Rx and Tx lines.
2. BASIC DESCRIPTION FM-Pro3 is a Terminal with GPS / GSM connectivity, which is able to determine the object’s coordinates and transfer them via the GSM network. This Terminal is perfectly suitable for applications where location acquirement of remote objects is needed. It is important to mention that FM-Pro3 has additional inputs and outputs, which lets controlling and monitoring other devices on remote objects.
2.1. PACKAGE CONTENTS Figure2. FM-Pro3 device, Power, I/O cables and GPS antenna. The FM-Pro3 device is supplied to the customer in a cardboard box containing all the equipment that is necessary for operation. The package contains: • The FM-Pro3 device.
2.3. BASIC CHARACTERISTICS Inputs / Outputs: IO1 – 10 pin (2x5 plug): IO2 – 12 pin (2x6 plug): Paired connections scheme: Other Inputs / Outputs are not paired. Also two spare Chassis pins can be paired with any I/O, they are only for easier mounting.
2.6. LED STATUSES: GPS LED When GPS signal is not received or GPS signal is not accurate, the GPS LED is blinking as follows: When accurate GPS signal is received, the GPS LED is blinking as follows: GSM LED When GSM signal is not received, GSM led is blinking: When device has good GSM signal, but no GPRS, LED is blinking: When device has good GSM signal and it is connected to GPRS, then LED is blinking:...

3. MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS Connecting Wires • Wires should be connected while module is not plugged in. • 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 insulation was removed while connecting wires, it should be applied again.
3.1. MODULE INSTALLATION • Module should not be seen or easily reached. • Module should be firmly fixed to the surface or cables. • Module cannot be fixed to heat emitting or moving parts. • SIM card should be inserted in the module while the connector is plugged off (while module has no power).
