Teltonika FMC230

Teltonika FMC230 — IP67 Waterproof 4G LTE Cat 1 Tracker with Advanced I/O

The Teltonika FMC230 is a professional-grade IP67 waterproof 4G LTE Cat 1 GPS tracker designed for demanding fleet and asset tracking applications. Built with a fully sealed enclosure, it withstands dust, rain, pressure washing and temporary water immersion — making it ideal for HGVs, construction equipment, agricultural machinery, marine vessels and any vehicle operating in harsh outdoor environments. With 4G LTE Cat 1 connectivity and automatic 2G fallback, the FMC230 delivers fast, reliable real-time tracking across the UK and Europe.

What sets the FMC230 apart is its exceptional I/O flexibility — three digital inputs (including one negative input), three configurable digital outputs, one analogue input, RS-485 and 1-Wire interfaces — giving fleet and telematics system integrators everything needed to connect temperature sensors, driver ID keypads, fuel level sensors, refrigeration unit monitoring and remote immobilisers in a single, weatherproof device.

As an official Teltonika distributor in the UK, Tracking Hardware UK ships the FMC230 directly from our London warehouse — with trade pricing available for telematics service providers, fleet operators and resellers.

Key Features

• IP67 waterproof and dustproof — fully sealed enclosure rated to IP67, protecting against dust and temporary water immersion up to 1 metre for 30 minutes, ideal for harsh outdoor, marine and agricultural environments

• 4G LTE Cat 1 with 2G fallback — future-proof connectivity for real-time tracking on modern UK networks with automatic 2G fallback ensuring continuous nationwide coverage

• Bluetooth 4.0 — connects to BLE sensors and driver identification keypads for contactless driver ID, temperature monitoring and other BLE peripheral devices

• 3 digital inputs including 1 negative input — maximum I/O flexibility for ignition detection, door sensors, PTO monitoring and negative signal inputs from complex vehicle electrical systems

• 3 digital outputs — supports up to three simultaneous DOUT scenarios for remote immobiliser, buzzer alerts and accessory control

• RS-485 interface — connects to refrigeration units, fuel level sensors, tachographs, axle load sensors and other RS-485 industrial accessories

• 1-Wire interface — connects to Dallas temperature sensors for reefer trailer monitoring and iButton driver identification

• Impulse input for precise fuel flow metering — much more accurate than analogue fuel sensors, ideal for cranes, construction vehicles, mining machines and agriculture equipment

• 170mAh internal backup battery — maintains device operation and records events when main vehicle power is disconnected or interrupted

• Crash detection — built-in accelerometer detects impact events for accident reporting and driver behaviour analysis

• Tow and unplug detection — alerts when the tracker is moved without ignition or disconnected from main power

• Jamming detection — alerts when GPS or GSM signal interference is detected

• Geofencing — configurable zone alerts on vehicle entry or exit for yard management and route compliance

• Over-the-air firmware updates — remotely updatable via FOTA Web and Teltonika Configurator

Driver Identification with Tracking Hardware UK BLE Keypad

The FMC230 supports Bluetooth 4.0 and is fully compatible with the Tracking Hardware UK BLE driver identification keypad. Drivers enter their unique PIN or present their card at the start of each trip and the driver ID is logged alongside all GPS and telematics data.

FMC230 vs FMC234 — Which Should You Choose?

Both the FMC230 and FMC234 are IP67 waterproof 4G LTE Cat 1 trackers with Bluetooth 4.0. The key difference is battery capacity — the FMC234 has a 1,000mAh battery providing up to 8 days standalone operation versus the FMC230's 170mAh backup battery, making the FMC234 better for trailer tracking and extended off-power scenarios. The FMC234 also features a convenient click-type tool-free housing. Choose the FMC230 for maximum I/O flexibility — three simultaneous DOUT outputs, a negative digital input, RS-485 and 1-Wire and precise impulse fuel metering, all in one waterproof housing. Choose the FMC234 for extended standalone battery life.
