Introduction

The GV58LAU is a compact GNSS tracker designed for a wide variety of vehicle tracking applications. It has multiple I/O interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. The GV58LAU supports various bands of LTE CAT4/WCDMA/GSM used by Latin America cellular operators. The built-in GPS receiver has superior sensitivity and fast initial positioning. Its built- in 3-axis accelerometer allows motion detection and sophisticated power management algorithms extend battery life. System integration is straightforward as complete documentation is provided for the full featured @Track protocol. The @Track protocol supports a wide variety of reports including emergency alarm, Geo-fence boundary crossings, external power supply monitoring and position reports.

Table 4: Description of 6-PIN Connections

open collector/drain, maximum output current 150mA
2| Yellow[OUT2]| Digital output, Open drain, 150mA max
3| Green [OUT1]| Digital output with internal latch circuit,

Open drain, 150mA max

4| White [IGN]| Ignition input, positive trigger
5| Black [GND]| GND
6| Red [VIN]| External DC power input, 8V-32V

LED Description

GV58LAU has three status LEDs: CELL LED, PWR LED and GNSS LED.

Table 5: LED Description

OFF
No external power and internal battery voltage is below 3.65V.| Slow flashing
The external power supply has been connected to the device and the internal battery of the device is charging.| Fast flashing
The external power supply has been connected to the device and the internal battery of the device is fully charged.| ON

Note

1. CELL LED, PWR LED and GNSS LED can be configured to be turned off after a period time by using the configuration tool.
2. Fast flashing: About 100ms ON/ 200ms OFF.
3. Slow flashing: About 200ms ON/ 1000ms OFF.

Power Connection

VIN(Red) and GND(Black) 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 vehicle without the need for external transformers.

Ignition Detection

Table 6: Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection

Figure 4: Typical Ignition Detection

IGN(White) is used for ignition detection. It is strongly recommended to connect this pin to the ignition key “RUN” position as shown above. An alternative to connecting to the ignition switch is to find a non-permanent power source that s 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 the backend server when the ignition is on, and enter power saving mode when the ignition is off.

Digital Output

There are two digital outputs on GV58LAU. All two digital outputs are of open drain type and the maximum drain current is 150mA.

Turn on/Turn off

• Turn on: Connect the device to the external power, and it will be turned on automatically. CELL LED light will be on.
• Turn off: Disconnect the device from the external power, and it will be turned off.

Open the Case

Figure 8: Open the Case

Insert the triangular-pry-opener into the gap of the case as shown in the figure, and push the opener up until the case is unsnapped. The GV58LAU device has 4 gaps.

When GV58LAU is shipped, the case of GV58LAU is not closed completely, which allows the user to open it relatively easily for SIM card and battery installation.

Install a SIM Card

Figure 9: SIM Card Installation

Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered. Slide the holder up to open the SIM card holder. Insert the SIM card into the holder as shown above with the gold-colored contact area facing down. Take care to align the cut mark. Close the SIM card holder. Close the case.

Put the upper cover on the lower cover, and press the covers to make sure they are closed completely.

Motion Sensor Direction

GV58LAU has an internal 3-axis accelerometer supporting driving behavior monitoring, crash detection and motion detection. The following figure shows the directions of the motion sensor.

Figure 12: Motion Sensor Direction

Note

1. The opposite direction of the cable bundle is the positive direction of the X-axis.
2. The Z-axis is in the positive direction above the front housing surface.
3. The positive directions of the three axes are perpendicular to each other, as shown in the above figure.

Troubleshooting and Safety Information

Troubleshooting

Table 10: Solutions to Possible Trouble

move the device to places with good GSM coverage.
Messages cannot be reported to the backend server.| The IP address or port of the backend server is wrong.| **** Make sure the IP address for the backend server is an identified address on the Internet.
Unable to power off the device.| It is unable to power off the device if the charger is connected.| Disconnect charger, and try again.
The device cannot get successful GNSS fix.| The GNSS signal is weak.| Please move the device to a place with open sky.
It is better to let the top surface (the surface with
LED indicator) face the sky.
