GV300 User manual TRACGV300UM001 1. Introduction The GV300 is a powerful GPS locator designed for vehicle or asset tracking. It has superior receiver sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and supports Quad-Band GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900, its location can be monitored in real time or be periodically tracked by a backend server or other specified terminals. The GV300 has multiple input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. Based on the integrated @Track protocol, the GV300 can communicate with a backend server through the GPRS/GSM network to transfer reports of Emergency, geo-fence boundary crossings, low backup battery or scheduled GPS position as well as many other useful functions. Users can also use GV300 to monitor the status of a vehicle and control the vehicle by its external relay output. System Integrators can easily setup their tracking systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol. This device complies with part 15B, part 22 and part 24 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation. 1.1.

GV300 User manual TRACGV300UM001 3. Getting Started 3.1. Opening the Case Figure 3. Opening the Case Insert the triangular-pry-opener into the gap of the case as shown below, push the opener up until the case unsnapped. 3.2. Closing the Case Figure 4. Closing the Case Place the cover on the bottom in the position as shown in the following figure. Slide the cover against the direction of the arrow until it snapped.
GV300 User manual TRACGV300UM001 - 13 - 3.3. Installing a SIM Card Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered (unplug the 16Pin cable and switch the internal battery to off position). Slide the holder right to open the SIM card. Insert the SIM card into the holder as shown below with the gold-colored contact area facing down taking care to align the cut mark. Close the SIM card holder. Close the case. Figure 5. SIM Card Installation 3.4. Installing the Internal Backup Battery Figure 6. Backup Battery Installation There is an internal backup Li-ion battery,
GV300 User manual TRACGV300UM001 - 14 - 3.5. Switch ON the Backup Battery To use the GV300 backup battery, the switch must be at the ON position. Switch on the case and ON/OFF position are shown below. Figure 7. Switch and ON/OFF position Note: The switch must be on the “OFF” position when shipped on an aircraft. 3.6. Installing the External GPS Antenna (Optional) There is a SMA GPS antenna connector on GV300. The GV300 will automatically detect and use an external antenna when connected.

GPS Antenna Specification Table 5: GPS Antenna Specification GPS antenna: Frequency: 1575.42MHz Bandwidth: >5MHz Beam width: >120 deg Supply voltage: 2.7V-3.3V Polarization: RHCP Gain: Passive: 0dBi min Active: 15dB Impedance: 50Ω VSWR: <2 Noise figure: <3 3.7. Power Connection PWR (PIN12) / GND (PIN6) are the power input pins. The input voltage range for this device is from 8V to 32V. The device is designed to be installed in vehicles that operate on 12V or 24V systems without the need for external transformers. Figure 9. Typical Power Connection
GV300 User manual TRACGV300UM001 - 16 - 3.8. Ignition Detection Table 7: Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection Logical State Electrical State Active 5.0V to 32V Inactive 0V to 3V or Open Figure 10. Typical Ignition Detection IGN (Pin3)is used for ignition detection. It is strongly recommended to connect this pin to ignition key “RUN” position as shown up. An alternative to connecting to the ignition switch is to find a non permanent power source that is only available when the vehicle is running. For example the power source for the FM radio. IGN signal can be configured to start transmitting information to backend server when ignition is on; and enter power saving mode when ignition is off. 3.9. Digital Inputs There are three general purpose digital inputs on GV300. They are all negative trigger. Table 6: Electrical Characteristics of the digital inputs Logical State Electrical Characteristics Active 0V to 0.8V Inactive Open The following diagram shows the recommended connection of a digital input.
