Opening and Closing the Case

To open: Insert the opener into the gap of the case as shown above, and push the opener up until the case is unsnapped. To close: Place the cover on the bottom at the position as shown above. Slide the cover against the direction of the arrow until it snaps.

Installing a SIM Card

Install the SIM card into the holder when power is off as shown below (unplug the 16-pin cable and switch the internal battery to OFF position). Take care to align the cut mark. Close the card holder and then close the case.

Installing the Internal Backup Battery

GV310LAU has an internal backup Li-ion battery.

Switching on the Backup Battery

To use the GV310LAU backup battery, the switch must be at the ON position. The switch and the ON/OFF position are shown as below.

Note

• The switch must be at the “OFF” position when the GV310LAU is shipped on an aircraft.
• When the switch is at the “OFF” position, the battery cannot be charged nor be discharged.

Installation of the External GPS Antenna (Optional)

There is an SMA GPS antenna connector on GV310LAU. The GV310LAU will automatically detect and use the external antenna when it is connected.

Power Supply Connection

PWR (pin 11)/GND (pin 6) 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. But it is recommended to use Power Protection Cable Kit if it is installed in a truck with 24V battery.

Ignition Detection

IGN (pin 3) is used for ignition detection. It is recommended to connect this pin to the “RUN” position of the vehicle ignition switch as shown below. An alternative to connect 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 transmit information to the backend server when ignition is on and enter the power saving mode when ignition is off.

Table 8. Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection

Digital Inputs

There are three general purpose digital inputs on GV310LAU. They all are negative triggers.

Table 9. Electrical Characteristics of the Digital Inputs

The following picture shows the recommended connection of a digital input.

Analog Input/Digital Output

This is a special I/O can be configured as a 0-16V analog input or an open drain output with 150mA max drive current.

Digital Outputs

There are three digital outputs on GV310LAU. All are of open drain type and the maximum drain current is 150 mA. Each output has a built-in over current PTC resettable fuse.

Table 10. Electrical Characteristics of the Digital Outputs

Note: OUT1 will latch the output state during reset.

Warning: Many modern relays come with a flyback diode pre-installed internal to the relay itself. If the relay has this diode, insure the relay polarity connected is properly used. If this diode is not internal, it should be added externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances.

Serial Port/UART Interface

There are two lines dedicated to the Serial Port/UART interface (TXD/RXD). TXD/RXD is standard RS232 signal.

Motion Sensor Direction

GV310LAU has an internal 3-axis accelerometer supporting driving behavior monitoring, crash detection and motion detection. The following shows the directions of the motion sensor.

Installation Precautions

• Firmly install the device to a reliable surface to prevent falling off.
• Make the side with antenna face sky to have better signal reception.
• Do not install the device under metal surface or in enclosed environments having difficulty in getting GPS and network signal.

Troubleshooting and Safety Info

Troubleshooting

Table 11. GV310LAU Troubleshooting List

Move the device to a place with good network coverage.

 | ****

APN is not right.

| Ask the network operator for the right APN.
Messages       can’t        be

reported to the backend server by network.

|  |

The IP address or port of the backend server is wrong.

| Make sure the IP address for the  backend  server  is  an

identified      address     in     the

 |  | Internet.
There is no response from UART when the device is configured by using UART.|

The port is not ready or the device is not powered on.

| Please check the port and the device to ensure they are working properly.

The device can’t get GPS fix.

| ****

The GPS signal is weak.

| Move the device to a place under open sky.
It is better to make the side with antenna face the sky.

Safety Info

• Do not disassemble the device by yourself.
• Do not put the device in the overheated or too humid place, and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Too high temperature will damage the device or even cause battery explosion.
• Do not use the device on the airplane or near medical equipment.
