GLOSSARY
CEP – Circular Error Probable: a statistical statistical measure used to describe the accuracy of a positioning system, commonly used in the context of GNSS. CEP represents the radius of a circle, centered on the true position, within which a given percentage (kazhinji 50%) yenzvimbo dzakayerwa inotarisirwa kudonha.
COM port – Serial communication interface that is used to transfer information to/from devices such as modems, terminals and various peripherals .
KUDZIDZA start – A COLD start occurs when the GNSS receiver lacks all the necessary information for a position fix, requiring it to start from scratch. This means it needs to acquire and decode the almanac and ephemeris data from the satellites, determine the satellite positions, and calculate its position.
FOTA – Firmware-Over-The-Air.
Kutanga kunopisa – A HOT start occurs when the GNSS receiver has all the necessary information to calculate a position fix readily available. This includes the almanac and ephemeris data, the approximate time, and its last known position.
IMEI – International Mobile Equipment Identity: a unique numeric identifier used by networks to identify devices .
NITZ – Network Identity and Time Zone: a mechanism in GSM, used to provision time, date and other parameters to mobile devices in a network.
NTP – Network Time Protocol: a networking protocol for clock synchronization between computer systems.
SELV – Chengetedzo Yekuwedzera Yakaderera Voltage: hurongwa hwemagetsi umo voltage cannot exceed 50 VAC or 120 VDC under normal conditions, and under single-fault conditions, including earth faults in other circuits .
Record – AVL data stored in device memory. AVL data contains GNSS and I/O information.
WARM start – A WARM start occurs when the GNSS receiver has some, but not all, of the necessary information for a position fix. It might have valid almanac data but needs to download new ephemeris data or doesn’t have an accurate estimate of its current time or position .
SIM card should be inserted in the module while the connector is plugged off (while module has no power).

KUKUMA RUDZIDZO
KUSUNGAMIRIRA WAYA
— Wires should be fastened to the other wires or non- moving parts. Do not place the wires near moving or heat-emitting objects.
— All electrical connections must be properly isolated. No bare wires should be visible. Re-apply isolation to wires if you removed factory isolation during installation.
— If the wires are placed in the exterior or in places where they can be damaged or exposed to heat, humidity, dirt, etc., additional isolation should be applied.
— Do not connect any wires to the vehicle’s board computer or control unit.
KUbatanidza SIMBA SOURCE
— Ensure that after the car computer falls asleep, power is still available on chosen wire. Depending on car, this may happen in 5 to 30 minutes period.
- Kana module yakabatana, pima voltage zvakare kuve nechokwadi kuti haina kuderera.
— It is recommended to connect to the main power cable in the fuse box.
— Use 3A, 125V external fuse.
KUbatanidza IGNITION WAYA
— Make sure that you have selected the correct wire for ignition signal – the electrical signal from the wire should be present after starting the engine.
— Check if this is not an ACC wire (when key is in the first position, most of the vehicle electronics are ON).
— Check if power is still available when you turn off any of vehicles devices.
— Ignition is connected to the ignition relay output. As alternative, any other relay, which has power output when ignition is on, may be chosen.
KUSUNGAMIRIRA GROUND WAYA
— Ground wire must be connected to the vehicle frame or metal parts that are fixed to the frame.
— If the wire is fixed with the bolt, the loop must be connected to the end of the wire.
— For better contact scrub paint from the spot where loop is going to be connected.
Nzvimbo Yakanakisisa Yokumisa
— Mount the FTC965 under the plastic panel behind the front window, with the sticker/engraving facing towards the window (sky).
— It is recommended to place FTC965 behind dashboard as close to the window as possible. A good exampChikamu cheFTC965 chinoratidzwa mumufananidzo uri pazasi (nzvimbo ine ruvara rwebhuruu).
