Revision History

Introduction

The GV50CG is a compact GNSS vehicle tracking device that supports EGPRS and LTE Cat 1. 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.

Product Overview

2.1. Appearance

2.2. Interface Definition
GV50CG has a 5-PIN interface connector. It contains the connections for power, and I/O. The sequence and definition of the 5-PIN connector are shown in the following figure:
Table 3: Description of 5-PIN Connections

| 1| AIN/IN1| Analog Input/Digital Input1, negative trigger
2| VIN| External DC Power Input, 9- 90V
3| GND| Ground
4| OUT| Digital Output, open drain, 150mA max
5| IGN| Ignition Input, positive trigger

2.3. Wiring Scheme

2.4. LED Description
GV50CG has two status LED lights, which are GNSS LED and CEL LED.
Table 4: LED Description

Note:

1. GNSS LED and CEL 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.

2.5. Power Connection
VIN(Red)/GND(Black) are the power input pins. The input voltage range for this device is from 9V to 90V. The device is designed to be installed in vehicles that operate on 9V to 90V vehicle without the need for external transformers.
2.6. Ignition Detection
Table 5: Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection

IGN(White) is used for ignition detection. It is strongly recommended to connect this pin to ignition key RUN position as shown above. An alternative to connecting 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 start transmitting information to the backend server when the ignition is on, and enter power saving mode when the ignition is off.
2.7. Digital Output
The digital outputs is an open-drain digital output. The maximum drain current for the device is 150mA.

Table 6: Electrical Characteristics of Digital Output

2.8. Analog Input/Digital Input
There is one input can be configured as an analog input or a digital input on GV50CG.
F or the digital input, it is a negative trigger.
For the analog input, the range of input voltage is from 0V to 16V.

3.2. External Cable Interface
Table 9: User Cable Color Definition

| 1| AIN/IN1| Analog Input/Digital Input1, negative trigger
2| VIN| External DC Power Input, 9-90V
3| GND| Ground
4| OUT| Digital Output, open drain, 150mA max
5| IGN| Ignition Input, positive trigger

3.3. Turn on/Turn off

• Turn on: Connect the device to external power, and it will be turned on automatically. CEL LED will be on.
•  Turn off: Set in AT+GTCFG to 0 to disable the backup battery, and then disconnect the device from the external power.

3.4. Open the Case

Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screws.
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.
When GV50CG is shipped, the case of GV50CG is not closed completely, which allows the user to open it relatively easily for SIM card and battery installation.
3.5. Install a SIM Card

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.

3.6. Install the Internal Battery

3.7. Close the Case

Put the upper cover on the lower cover, and press the covers to make sure they are closed completely. Tighten the screws on the two corners with the screwdriver to close the device.
3.8. Motion Sensor Direction
GV50CG 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.
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

4.1. Troubleshooting
Table 10: Solutions to Possible Trouble

Please move GV50CG 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 GV50CG.| Unable to power off GV50CG if charger is connected.| Disconnect charger, and try again.
GV50CG cannot get successful GNSS fix.| The GNSS signal is weak.| Please move GV50CG to a place with open sky.
It is better to let the top surface (the surface with LED indicator) face the sky.

4.2. Safety Information

• Please do not disassemble the device by yourself.
• Please do not put the device on overheated or too humid place, and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Too high temperature will damage the device or even cause battery explosion.
• Please do not use GV50CG on the airplane or near medical equipment.
