Teltonika - FM 4100 Features

This page provides a public overview of the Teltonika FM 4100 feature set and how those capabilities are used when the device reports into Plaspy. It focuses on user facing functions and operational value rather than private configuration details.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary with device firmware, hardware revision, installation choices, and manufacturer implementation. Users should treat the information here as a functional summary and verify device specific details against manufacturer documentation when precise behavior matters.

Feature Overview​

The FM 4100 is a compact tracker designed to acquire location via GPS and report that information over GSM networks. It combines location reporting with discrete inputs and outputs and multiple data interfaces to support monitoring and simple control tasks on vehicles and other moving objects.

  • GPS based location reporting for moving objects such as cars and trucks
  • GSM data transfer via GPRS class 10 and SMS for position and event reporting
  • Multiple digital and analog inputs and outputs for monitoring and control tasks
  • 1-Wire I/O support for accessory sensors and identification peripherals
  • CAN bus interface and NMEA RS232 output for integration with vehicle systems and navigation devices

Core Features of Teltonika - FM 4100​

  • GPS location acquisition for real time and periodic tracking
  • GSM connectivity supporting GPRS class 10 and SMS reporting
  • Quad band cellular support for broad regional network compatibility
  • 4 digital inputs for monitoring binary signals and events
  • 4 digital outputs for remote switching or signaling
  • 4 analog inputs for reading variable sensor values
  • 1-Wire I/O for temperature probes or key identification peripherals
  • CAN bus interface and NMEA RS232 output for vehicle data and navigation integration

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

Plaspy ingests location and event data from compatible trackers and surfaces that information for monitoring, reporting, and operational oversight. The FM 4100's combination of GNSS and GSM connectivity plus its I/O and vehicle interfaces enable straightforward visibility into position and selected external signals when connected to Plaspy.

  • Accurate position updates are visible on Plaspy maps and location history views
  • Digital and analog input events can be recorded as discrete events or telemetry in Plaspy
  • Outputs and remote control signals can be represented as status items for operational workflows
  • Vehicle bus data and NMEA outputs can be used to enrich contextual reporting where supported
  • Plaspy automatically detects common tracker protocols to simplify device onboarding and connectivity

Typical Use Cases​

  • Fleet location tracking for cars, vans, and light trucks
  • Monitoring of door open or closed status and other binary signals via digital inputs
  • Remote signaling and simple control tasks via digital outputs
  • Reading analog sensors such as tank level or auxiliary sensors for operational monitoring
  • Integration of vehicle data through CAN bus for richer telemetry where applicable
  • Providing NMEA output to navigation or logging systems that accept RS232 input

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Some features depend on firmware and hardware revision and may not be present on all FM 4100 units
  • Regional cellular support and behavior may vary by network and carrier
  • 1-Wire and CAN bus use cases may require additional wiring, adapters, or configuration during installation
  • Manufacturer firmware settings control which inputs, outputs, and interfaces are active and how data is reported
  • Always confirm supported features for a specific serial number or production batch with official Teltonika documentation

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​
