This video demonstrates how to install and configure the Blackbird FMC130 IoT tracker (10-30VDC) to ensure accurate data collection and runtime monitoring.
Power Connection: Connect the red wire to the positive battery terminal and the black wire to the ground of the machine.
Constant Power: Ensure the module is connected to a power supply that is on 24/7, as the internal battery is only for unexpected outages.
Runtime Tracking: Connect the yellow wire to a spot in the machine that shows positive voltage only when the machine is turned on and zero voltage when it is off.
Device Identification: Write down the IMEI number from the QR code or text on the module to connect the device to the asset in the web platform.
Verification: Confirm the module is powered up by checking that the LEDs are on and verifying real-time data like runtime, signal strength, and battery level on the dashboard.
