FMC130 or FMC230/234 features

[PepeGPS]

As posted somewhere else FMM130 does not come with DOUT activation via call although noted otherwise here.

I am now looking into changing over to FMC130 or FMC230/234.
As I do not trust the feature lists in the wiki and pdf manuals anymore, can somebody please confirm:
Do all come with the following features:

• DOUT control via call
• DOUT control via ignition
• 4G LTE
• Towing detection
• Jamming detection (both)
• unplug detection
• crash detection
• immobilizer

and finally is the FC234 just a FC230 with larger battery pack (1000mAh)

Thanks

Hi @PepeGPS

Good day, only BG96/BG95-M3 (FMMXY ) does not support dout control via call functionality meaning FMC/FMB devices can support this feature.

All features that you have mentioned should be available on the devices.

For your testing kindly use the latest firmware on your device: Firmware versions - Wiki Knowledge Base | Teltonika GPS

Ok. Great. I ordered a fmc234 which should do.

Please correct online and pdf documentation for fmms to avoid such confusion…

Thanks

Hello,

the FMC234 so far works a treat. It can be called for switching, Immobilizer Scenario works (basically), tracking works etc.
So far I ticked thoe following boxes:

• DOUT control via call - works
• DOUT control via ignition - works
• 4G LTE - works
• Towing detection - works
• Jamming detection (both)
• unplug detection
• crash detection
• immobilizer - works (with iButtons)
  The rest so far ist subject to be tested, in case of Jamming and crash kinda tricky. As wel las SEDO immobilisation.

Quick questions:
I had the current consumption down to ~10mA @12V on the bench in deep sleep, wake up/ Ignition source set to accelerometer.
With the 1000mAh Battery this should last ~100 hours… I had battery 100% charged, “unplugged” (as a thief would do) and laid it down still for ~8h over night.
Next day I then took it with me in my car, drove to work for ~1.5h, took it into the office, where it again was laying still for ~4h hours until I drove home. So ~12h of lying still and ~3h of movement.
To my suprise on my way home the device dropped out being empty as it turned out (battery 0%).
Why is time on battery that short?
I was expecting way longer to survive on battery. Up to a week maybe with the large Battery.

second:
Can I connect to the device and make settings via BT and smart phone (Teltonika configurator on Android??) Especially in a car and on trips this is way more convinient than carrying around Windows laptops.

Hi @PepeGPS

The battery will not last for 1 week it depends on the device configuration, and on how frequently the device is sending records to the server. FMC230 and FMC234 are not an asset tracker the battery is only designed for backup purposes.

Please find the screenshot below for the device power consumption:

For the second question, we don’t have an app for the smart phone to configure the device, we only support the windows platform.
