Small and smart waterproof tracker

FTC881


KNOW YOUR DEVICE

HOW TO REMOVE COVER

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

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.
  1. Device is delivered partly closed. Gently remove FTC881 cover.
  2. Insert SIM card as shown. Make sure that SIM card cut-off corner is pointing towards SIM slot.
  3. Battery is already connected, so after configuring device fully close casing.
  4. Device is ready to be mounted.

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)

At first, FTC881 device will have default factory settings set. These settings should be changed according to the user's needs. Main configuration can be performed via Teltonika Configurator tool (TCT).


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.

LED INDICATIONS

This section is an explanation of LED indications on FTC881 device.

NAVIGATION LED INDICATIONS

Behaviour Meaning
Permanently switched on GNSS signal is not received
Blinking every second Normal mode, GNSS is working
Off GNSS is turned off because:
Device is not working
or
Device is in sleep mode
Blinking fast constantly Device firmware is being flashed


STATUS LED INDICATIONS

Behaviour Meaning
Blinking every second Normal mode
Blinking every two seconds Sleep mode
Blinking fast for a short time Modem activity
Off Device is not working
or
Device is in boot mode
