Introduction
The GV57MG V2 is a compact GNSS vehicle tracking device that supports EGPRS
and LTE Cat M1/NB2. It is designed for a wide variety of applications such as
stolen vehicle recovery, motorcycle monitoring and other basic tracking
applications. The built-in GNSS receiver has superior sensitivity and fast
initial positioning. The full-featured @Track Air Interface Protocol provides
the complete documentation, so it’s easy to learn system integration. The
protocol supports a wide variety of reports including emergency alarm, geo-
fence boundary crossings, external power supply monitoring and position
reports.

GV57MG V2 USB Cable (Optional)|
Note: The GV57MG V2 UART cable and the USB cable are optional accessories
and may not be delivered along.
2.3 Interface Definition
The GV57MG V2 has a 5-PIN pitch connector cable that is used to connect to the
power and I/Os. You can find the cable in Figure 2, and its sequence and
description in Table 4. Table 4: Description of 5-PIN Connections
Index | Description | Color | Remark |
---|---|---|---|
1 | IN1 | Orange | Digital Input1,negative trigger |
2 | VIN | Red | External DC Power Input, 8-32V |
3 | GND | Black | Ground |
4 | OUT | Brown | Digital Output, open drain, 150mA max |
5 | IGN | White | Ignition input, positive trigger |
Getting Started
3.1 Installing a SIM Card
Step 1
Open the top cover. Note: Please unplug the 5-PIN pitch connector
cable and make ensure the device is not powered up. Don’t disassemble the
device repeatedly, otherwise it may affect the waterproof performance of the
device.
Step 2
Make sure the small notch in the corner of the SIM card matches the one in the
SIM card tray so that it fits properly. The words or logo on the SIM card
should be facing up. Slide the SIM card tray back into the SIM card
slot.
Step 3
Press to close the top and bottom covers until you hear a snap. Make sure that
there is a tight fit between the covers and the seal ring. Step 4
Screw down the device covers. 3.2 USB Interface
The GV57MG V2 has a USB interface that is used for firmware download by using
the USB cable . 3.3 UART Interface
The GV57MG V2 has an optional UART cable for configuration. The physical
interface used by it is the same as that used by as the USB interface.
Note: The UART cable and USB cable of the GV57MG V2 are oriented
when plugged into the corresponding connector. The cables need to be
vertically down and the connector direction of the cables needs to be as shown
below.
3.4 Power Connection
The PIN 2 (VIN, red) and the PIN 3 (GND, black) are used for power input. The
power source you connect to the PINs has to be 8V to 32V for the GV57MG V2 to
work. The device is designed to be installed in vehicles that operate on
12V/24V systems without the
need to use external transformers. 3.5 Ignition Detection
Table 5: Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection
Logical Status | Electrical Characteristics |
---|---|
Active | 5.0V to 32V |
Inactive | 0V to 3V or open |
The
PIN 5 (IGN, white) is used for ignition detection. We recommend that you
connect it to the RUN position of the vehicle ignition switch as shown (Figure
4).
If you look for an alternative, we recommend that you find a power source that
is available only when the vehicle is started, for example, the power source
for the FM radio. The device will send messages to the backend server as the
IGN signal completes configuration when the ignition is on, and switch to the
power saving mode when the ignition is off.
3.6 Digital Input
There is one general purpose digital input on GV57MG V2. It is a negative
trigger.
Table 6: Electrical Characteristics of Digital Input
Logical Status | Electrical Characteristics |
---|---|
Active | 0V to 0.8V |
Inactive | Open |
3.7 Digital Output
The PIN 4 (OUT, brown) is an open-drain digital output. The maximum drain
current for the device is 150mA. Table 7: Electrical Characteristics of
Digital Output
Index | Description | Remark |
---|---|---|
1 | Enable | <1.5V @ 150mA |
2 | Disable | Open drain |
Note:
- Many modern relays already have the freewheeling diodes inside. If the relay has this diode, make ensure the polarity of the relay is connected correctly when using it. If not built in, the diode should be added outside the relay. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances.
3.8 LED Status
The GV57MG V2 has two status LEDs that are Cellular LED and GNSS LED
respectively. Table 8. Definition of Device Status and LED
LED | Device Status | LED Status |
---|---|---|
Cellular LED (Green) | The device is searching for network. | Fast flashing |
The device has been registered to on network. | Slow flashing | |
The SIM card needs pin code to unlock. | Solid green |
The device is connected to another device via Bluetooth for the first time,
when
ON/2000ms OFF(last 40s)
GNSS LED (Red)| GNSS is turned off.| OFF
The device has got GNSS location information.| Solid red
The device is searching for GNSS signal.| Fast flashing
GNSS sends no data or data format error occurs.| Slow flashing
Note:
- The fast flashing of the Cellular LED is about 100ms when the LED indicator is on and 800ms when it is off.
- The slow flashing of the Cellular LED is about 100ms when the LED indicator is on and 2000ms when it is off.
- The fast flashing of the GNSS LED is about 100ms when the LED indicator is on and 100ms when it is off.
- The slow flashing of the GNSS LED is about 600ms when the LED indicator is on and 600ms when it is off.
3.9 Motion Sensor Direction
The GV57MG V2 has an internal 3-axis accelerometer that supports motion
detection. The following screenshot shows the directions of the motion sensor.
The z-axis points vertically inward.
