How to configure a measurement/discrete sensor on a Teltonika tracker?
Answer
To configure a sensor on a Teltonika tracker, follow the step-by-step guidance below.
This is a common guide for setting up sensors and fields for Teltonika devices. Using this guide, you can set up almost any sensor for Teltonika devices in Navixy.
Here we provide instructions for Teltonika FMB920, where we configure Board Voltage as an example.
1
Download the configurator
Download the correct configurator version for your model:
Find your model (Ctrl+F), then download the latest version.
If it is your first time downloading and using a Teltonika configurator, unzip the archive, install the additional software that comes with the configurator, and only then open the configurator.
2
Open configurator
Connect the device to the PC or create an offline preset.
If you don't have the device on hand, you can upload the configuration later using FOTA. Or you can configure the device remotely via SMS/GPRS using Air Console (see the optional step below).
3
Choose the parameter
Find the parameter by meaning.
Example: Board Voltage may be named External Voltage.
4
Configure sending settings
To work well with Navixy:
Priority: Low
Event Only: No
Operand: Monitoring
Save the configuration to the device.
In case the device is not nearby, you can update the configuration online via Air Console.
5
Optional: set parameters via Air Console (GPRS) / SMS
If the device is remote, configure via Air Console or SMS.
Look up the Parameter ID by hovering in configurator.
Example:
External Voltage priority ID: 50080
Priority Low value: 1
Command:
setparam 50080:1
