1. About FMTerminal

The FMTerminal is a versatile keypad

and display unit. It is designed to

work in conjunction with existing and

future VDO Fleet management and

Telematics products. The FMTerminal is

both configurable and reprogrammable.

This means that the actual menus and

events that provide its functionality

can be customised to suit the

application. The FMTerminal is shipped

with the basic Fleet logbook

functionality. It is this basic

functionality and menu structure which

is described in this Manual

pressing the Enter key.

- Using the up and down arrow keys to

highlight the desired menu option and

then pressing the enter key.

Main Menu

1. Fleet Logbook

2. Trip Display

3. Options

4. Shut Down

By pressing the escape key, the parent

menu is activated.

2.2 Data Entry

Text and numbers can be entered into

the field space provided. The left

arrow key is used to “backspace”. By

holding the left arrow key down , the

entire field can be cleared. The

contents of the field together with its

appropriate identifier is sent to the

FM200 on-board-computer when the

“enter” key is pressed. Pressing the

Escape key cancels the data entry

operation.

Each keypad key on the FMTerminal has a

Description

[ Example entry text]

FMTerminal English

14

number of characters allocated to it.

By pressing the same key more than

once, the other characters can be

accessed. If a number field such as

“Customer code” is selected, the keypad

keys will always start their key cycle

with the associated key digit. If a

alphanumeric field such as

“Description” is chosen the keypad key

cycle will begin with the first

associated key character.

3. Switching the FMTerminal on and off

The FMTerminal will switch on

automatically when the following events

occur:

- Any key is pressed

- A driver is identified by means of a

driver key

- Vehicle ignition is switched on.

- If the FM200 is in Drive mode (rpm

and/or speed is present)

The FMTerminal will switch off

automatically on completion of a trip

once the FM200 on-board-computer enters

its armed state (the FM200 indicator

LED starts to flash) and ignition is

off. This will happen only if there has

been no keyboard activity for the last

60 seconds, in which case the

FMTerminal will delay switching off

until the user has completed his

operation.

FMTerminal English

If the ignition is off and the vehicle

is in its armed state (the FM200

indicator LED is flashing), the display

can be turned off from the “Shut down”

option on the menu.

4. Automatic Fleet Log Book

The automatic fleet logbook provides

the following automatic functions:

- On power on, the FMTerminal will

activate the “Value 2” menu with the

menu item “Customer code” selected.

- Once a trip has started the “Driving

Reasons” menu will automatically be

activated. When a vehicle has

travelled 1km the “Driving reason” is

sent to the FM200 on-board-computer to

be stored.

- When ignition is switched off the

“Resting Reasons” menu is

automatically activated. When a trip

ends the “Resting reason” is sent to

the FM200 on-board-computer to be

stored.

Note If the user is busy typing on the

keypad or if an event message has been

displayed, the FMTerminal will not

immediately automatically activate the

Driving or Resting reason Menu. The

FMTerminal will wait until there has

been a 30-second period of no keypad or

event activity before activating the

appropriate automatic menu. The

FMTerminal English

16

automatic functions can be disabled in

the FM2001 Windows application.

5. Daylight Saving

The FMTerminal is capable of displaying

the current date and time received from

the FM200. This is displayed in the

Trip display menu. The FM200 date and

time is not automatically corrected for

daylight saving. The Daylight saving

menu option allows the operator to

advance the time in hourly increments.

This is to accommodate the change in

time during summer months in areas

where daylight saving is practised.

This feature will allow for a variance

of up to 3 hours between the seasons.

6. Languages

The FMTerminal is shipped with two

default languages, namely English and

German. Other languages can be loaded

via the FM2001 Windows program.

7. Display Control

By pressing the zero “0” key in any

menu one can activate the Display

control screen. Both the FMTerminal

screen brightness and contrast can be

manually adjusted. There are three

default display settings which can be

activated by pressing the zero "0" when

in the Display Control screen. This is

FMTerminal English

17

useful when the display contrast is

very dark or very light. This feature

allows the operator to easily find

a setting which is readable.

Automatic Display Dimming

The FMTerminal display backlighting

will dim automatically if there is no

keypad activity for 60 seconds. Any

subsequent automatic or manual menu

action will cause the display to return

to its previous setting.

8. Critical Events

Critical events can be selected from

the FM2001 Windows program that will

cause an event warning to be displayed

on the FMTerminal for the duration of

the event. While the event remains

true, the user can clear the message by

pressing any key.

9. External Keyboard / Barcode reader socket

The FMTerminal has an external keyboard

port to which most IBM AT compatible

“Qwerty” keyboards can be connected.

Keyboard compatible barcode scanners

can also be used, provided they do not

exceed the FMTerminal electrical

rating. The FMTerminal will sense the

presence of electrically incompatible

external keyboards or barcode readers

and report these by means of a warning

message to the screen. Please ask your

FMTerminal English

18

local distributor for information

concerning compatible devices and

conversion cables.

CAUTION: Do not plug in an external

keyboard or barcode scanner while the

FMTerminal screen is on (Display must

be off). This may cause damage to the

QWERTY keyboard or barcode scanner.

10. Mounting Bracket

The FMTerminal can be mounted in most

vehicles with the mounting bracket

provided. Please ask your local

distributor about other mounting

options.

11. Cleaning the FMTerminal

To prevent damage to the FMTerminal

housing, use only a mild detergent and

water on a damp cloth to wipe the

FMTerminal clean.
