Template:FMX640 Thermograph
Introduction
Withsss an increasing demand for cold-chain supply chains, Teltonika is offering the ability to monitor real-time information from freezer trailer thermographs. Each thermograph has an RS232 communication line where devices can connect via COM1/COM2 port of the device. The solution is easy to install and configure. This allows you to monitor the main information of the freezer trailer such as Temperature, Fridge door status, Alarms, etc., and generate events according to your needs. For more information please refer to the installation manual below.
NOTE: this feature is available from FW ver. 01.02.02.Rev.00
Supported Thermographs
can be connecteds to DataCold600, Transcan2, TouchPrint thermographs.
Refer to the table bellow to see which freezers use which thermograph:
Thermograph Type | |||
Freezer Type | DataCold600 | Transcan2 | TouchPrint |
Carrier | + | - | - |
ThermoKing | - | + | + |
RS-232 Interface
RS-232 supports full-duplex communication which means the data can be both sent and received at the same time as they use separate transmission lines. Most of the modes are the same as for [[]]. When entering Sleep or Deep sleep RS-232 will be powered off. [[]] RS-232 connection diagram is shown in the figure below:
Installation guide
Touchprint
No configuration is necessary.
If the equipment does not receive information from the thermographer, the speed of the port accessing the configuration menu:
Keep the blue and red buttons pressed at the same time. "Enter PIN code" is displayed in screen, enter pin "1111" by pressing the blue button four times. Travel for the options with the red button.
The ENG Display> OFF option must be ON, change its value with the keys ◄ and ►. Once switched to ON, keep scrolling through the options until find Baud Rate> 9600. The value should be 9600, otherwise adjust the speed by moving the cursor with the ◄ and ► keys, and adjust speed with the keys ▲ and ▼.
Transcan
Same connections as the ThermoKing thermograph.
Configuration: No configuration is necessary.
See ThermoKing Configuration.
