Introduction

GV55W is a powerful GPS locator designed for vehicle or asset tracking. It has superior receiver sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix), and supports Dual-Band GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900, its location can be monitored in real-time or periodically tracked by a backend server or other specified terminals. GV55W has multiple input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. Based on the integrated @Track protocol, the GV55W 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 GV55W to monitor the status of a vehicle and control the vehicle by its external relay output. System Integrators can easily set up their tracking systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol.

Getting Started

3.1. Open the Case

Queclink GV55W GSM GPRS WCDMA GNSS Tracker - Fig 8

Insert the triangular-pry-opener into the gap of the case as shown above, and push the opener up until the case is unsnapped.
3.2. Close the Case

Queclink GV55W GSM GPRS WCDMA GNSS Tracker - Fig 9 Place the cover on the bottom. Gently slide the cover until it snaps.
3.3. Install a SIM Card
Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered (unplug the 6Pin cable and switch the internal battery to the OFF position). Slide the holder right to open the SIM card holder. Insert the SIM card into the holder as shown below with the gold-colored contact area facing down. Take care to align the cut mark. Close the SIM card holder. Close the case.

3.4. Install the Internal Backup Battery

Queclink GV55W GSM GPRS WCDMA GNSS Tracker - Fig 11 GV55W has an internal backup Li-ion battery.
3.5. Switch on the Backup Battery
To use the GV55W backup battery, the switch must be in the ON position. The switch on the case and ON/OFF position is shown below.

Queclink GV55W GSM GPRS WCDMA GNSS Tracker - Fig 12

Note:

  1. The switch must be in the “OFF” position when the GV55W is shipped on an aircraft.
  2. When the switch is in the “OFF” position, the battery cannot be charged or discharged.
  3. To reset the device: Remove the external DC power and switch off the backup battery. Then supply the external power and switch on the backup battery.

3.6. Power Connection
PWR (PIN1) / GND (PIN2) is 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 vehicles without the need for external transformers.Queclink GV55W GSM GPRS WCDMA GNSS Tracker - Fig

3.7. Ignition Detection
Table 6. Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection

Logical Status Electrical State
Active 5.0V to 32V
Inactive 0V to 3V or Open

IGN (Pin3) 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 nonpermanent 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 for the device to start transmitting information to the backend server when the ignition is on and enter power saving mode when the ignition is off.
3.8. Digital Input
There is one general-purpose digital input on GV55W, i.e. IN1 (PIN3). It is a negative trigger.

Logical State Electrical Characteristics
Active 0V to 0.8V
Inactive Open

The following diagram shows the recommended connection of digital input.

3.9. Digital Outputs
There are two digital outputs on GV55W. Both are of open drain type and the maximum drain current is 150mA. Each output has the built-in over current protection self-recovery PTC fuse.![Queclink GV55W GSM GPRS WCDMA GNSS Tracker

Note:

  1. OUT1 will latch the output state during reset.
  2. Many modern relays come with a flyback diode pre-installed internal to the relay itself. If the relay has this diode, ensure the relay polarity is properly connected. If this diode is not internal, it should be added externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances.

3.10. Device Status LED
GV55W has three status LEDs that are GSM LED, GPS LED, and PWR LED.
