Introduction

The GV300LAU is a compact GPS 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 GV300LAU supports various bands of LTE CAT4/WCDMA/GSM used by Latin America and Middle East 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.

Getting Started

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

GV300L has an internal backup Li-ion battery.

Switching on the Backup Battery

To use the GV300LAU backup battery, the switch must be at the ON position. The switch and the ON/OFF position are shown as below.

Note

1. The switch must be at the “OFF” position when the GV300LAU is shipped on an aircraft.
2. 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 GV300LAU. The GV300LAU 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.

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 GV300L. 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 0-32V analog input or an open drain output with 150mA max drive current.

Digital Outputs

There are three digital outputs on GV300L. 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 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

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.

place with good network coverage.
Messages can’t be reported to the backend server by network.| APN is not right.| Ask the network operator for the right APN.
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.
