Next-generation high voltage 4G LTE Cat 1 battery-mounted vehicle GPS tracker with enhanced GNSS accuracy and IP69K resistance.

FTC881


KNOW YOUR DEVICE

SET UP YOUR DEVICE

 Physical SIM card insertion/removal must be performed when device is powered off – external voltage disconnected. Otherwise, the SIM card might be damaged or device will not detect it.


HOW TO REMOVE COVER

 Device casing is designed to be water-proof and match requirements for IP69K. Please note that once the cover is fully clipped it will require additional plastic pry tools to be opened! Please make sure to review short walkthrough video for more details:

PINOUT

PIN NUMBER PIN NAME DESCRIPTION
1 VCC (Red) Power supply (+10-90 V DC) (+).
2 GND (Black) Ground (-).

PC CONNECTION (WINDOWS)

  1. Power-up FTC881 with DC voltage (10-90V) power supply using power wires. LEDs should start blinking, see "LED BEHAVIOUR DESCRIPTION".
  2. Connect device to computer using USB Type-C cable and install USB driver, see "HOW TO INSTALL USB DRIVERS (WINDOWS)".

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.
  5. Setup will continue installing the driver and eventually the confirmation window will appear. Click Finish to complete the setup.

CONFIGURATION (WINDOWS)

Most Teltonika devices are shipped with default factory settings. Use Telematics Configuration Tool (TCT) to change these settings according to your needs.

TCT
Operating system Windows 10
Windows 11
MS .NET Framework version MS .NET framework 6.0
Version 64 bit
Disk Storage 1 GB of free disk space
Internet Ethernet port or Wi-Fi w/ network access for auto-update

TCT

  1. Download the TCT (compressed archive).
  2. Extract the archive and launch the executable. The TCT will be installed.
  3. Launch the TCT.
  4. In the Discovered devices list, select your device and press Configure.
  5. The Device status window opens. It contains device, GNSS and Cellular information.

Save to device – saves configuration to device.

Upload file – loads configuration from file.

Save to file – saves configuration to file.

Update – update device firmware.

Reset configuration – sets device configuration to default.


Most important configuration sections are Mobile network (Server, Mobile network settings) and Tracking settings (data collection parameters). More details about FTC881 configuration using TCT can be found here.

QUICK SMS CONFIGURATION

The default configuration ensures best track quality and optimal data usage.

Quickly set up your device by sending this SMS command to it:

DEFAULT CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

After successful SMS configuration, FTC881 device will synchronize time and update records to configured server. Time intervals and default I/O elements can be changed by using TCT or Parameter list.

MOUNTING RECOMMENDATIONS

DEVICE FASTENING

  • Locate the battery in your vehicle. If present remove the battery cover to access the battery.
  • There is a double sided tape on the back of the device, use it to attach the device on the battery, so that the GNSS antenna and LEDs indicators are facing up.

CONNECTING POWER SOURCE

  • 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.
