Product change notifications (PCN) is the way of informing customers of upcoming changes related to Teltonika products. This includes outward appearance adjustments, hardware improvements, firmware changes, changes to package contents, etc. This page stores information regarding changes to the FMC230 tracking device. Below you will find a list of both upcoming and already implemented changes sorted from newest to oldest (top to bottom).

2024 June: PCB changes

We would like to inform you that starting from June, 2024, there will be changes in the PCB's modification of our FMC234 devices. These changes affect FMC125, FMC225, FMC130, FMC230 and FMC234 devices.

Change impact
Risk assessment Client’s special firmware versions or order codes with special firmware will not be updated to latest base firmware automatically. During the transition period clients might receive devices with previous Firmware version used in manufacture.
Suggested implementation plan If you are using special firmware version and would like an upgrade to new features of latest base firmware, please contact your Teltonika sales manager.

2024.01.22: Modified battery placement within the casing

We would like to inform you that starting from January 2024, there will be a small change in the FMC234 devices casing. We have adjusted the battery placement and increased PCB guide height within casing. This modification was essential to enhance our manufacturing process.

Change description
Change type Optimizing robotic battery placement process within casing
Detailed description The modifications will not impact the place of the battery or PCB within the FMC234 device.
Old Version:
FMX - OLD.jpg
 New Version:
FMX - NEW.jpg
FMX - NEW 2.jpg
Change reasons
  1. Modified battery placement within the casing.
  2. PCB guide height increased for easier assembly.
  3. Improved manufacturing process.
Product release date January, 2024
Affected products
Model Affected order codes Order code changes
FMC234 FMC234 all codes Modified battery placement and PCB guide height within the casing.
Change impact
Risk assessment During transition period clients might receive devices with previous casing design. The transition period can last from January to February inclusive.
Suggested implementation plan No implementation plan is needed.
Acknowledgement of PCN receipt
If no feedback is received within two weeks after the issue date of this notification – Teltonika may accept that this change has tactically accepted and can implement the change as indicated above.
