Setting of Galileosky Device to
Switch-on
Preparation of the connector a tracking device
Together with a device, you get a counterpart of socket and several crimped conductors.
On the back of the body, there is a schematic representation of the contacts to be connected
and location of main service openings (Picture 1).
ATTENTION! The symbol of tracking device board key is sometimes perceived as a connection
strap between RS232 and RS485 contacts. Be careful, there should not be any connection
strap!
The order of tracking device board assembling is as follows:
1. Rotate the tracking device board in such a way that the key has been at the top of the
socket and the places of conductors connection have been directed towards the user
(Picture 2);

2. turn the contacts the locking mechanisms up and along the sides and insert them into the
socket until clicking position (Picture 3).
ATTENTION! When you install the conductors observe the polarity – the red wire is used as a
positive conductor and the black wire is used as a negative one.
SIM-cards inserting
The order of SIM-cards inserting is the following:
 press the SIM holder button with something sharp (clip, toothpick) and eject the SIM-
holder (Picture 4);
 insert the SIM-card into the holder contacts up (Picture 5);

 insert the SIM-holder with the card into the tracking device carefully without applying
excessive force until locking focusing on the key drawn on the tracking device body (Pic.

ATTENTION! Use SIM-cards with activated GPRS and SMS services.

Preparation of antennas
Together with the Tracking device, you get a GSM-antenna and a GLONASS/GPS-antenna.
The antennas differ in appearance and functionality.
There are 2 types of antennas connectors in Galileosky tracking devices:
1. F-type connector
2. Fakra connector
1. The GSM-antenna (Picture 7) is a passive one and is connected to the GSM-antenna
plug.
The GLONASS/GPS-antenna (Picture 8) is an active one. It means that it needs a power
connection for normal operation. The antenna is connected strictly to the GLONASS/GPS
antenna plug. The GLONASS/GPS antenna plug of the tracking device provides the necessary
voltage for operation.
Connect the GSM-antenna and the GLONASS/GPS-antenna to correspondent plugs, as
shown in Picture 9.

(picture 1 ) is carried out up to clicking position to the correspondent connectors as shown
in Picture 11.

Connection sche es
Galileosky tracking devices can be connected to on-board power system by three different
schemes. Riser diagrams and description of operation of these diagrams are shown in
Appendix №1 to this document.
1. Connection from the battery (Pic. 12). The main way of connection provides constant
external power supply of the tracking device until the battery cut-off.
The order of connection is the following:
 carry out 2 (two) direct wires of red and black color from the tracking device to the battery;
 connect the black wire to the negative plug of the battery via 1A fuse;
 connect the red wire to the positive plug of the battery via 1А fuse.
2. Connection from the battery with the battery disconnect switch (Pic. 13). It is the main way
of connection on vehicles which have a battery disconnect switch. It provides constant
external power supply of the tracking device until the battery cut-off.
The order of connection is the following:
 use a dielectric spacer to isolate the tracking device from the car body and fix it by means
of dielectric fastener;
 carry out 2 (two) direct wires of red and black color from the tracking device to the battery;

 connect the black wire to the negative plug of the battery via 1А fuse;
 connect the red wire to the positive plug of the battery via 1А fuse.
3. Connection from the vehicle network (Pic. 14). This way of connection is used when the
connection of the tracking device from the battery does not provide the required electrical
safety level. The order of connection is the following:
 carry out 2 (two) direct wires of red and black color from the tracking device to the nearest
places of location of the negative and positive contacts of the vehicle network;
 after disconnection of the ignition key use a multimeter to make sure that there is supply
voltage in the positive contact;
 use a multimeter to make sure that there is electrical communication between the vehicle
body and the negative contact of the vehicle network;
 connect the black wire to the negative contact via 1А fuse;
 connect the red wire to the positive contact via 1А fuse.

Galileosky tracking device place ent in the
driver’s cabin
Galileosky tracking device is installed in the cabin under the shell of the control panel or fore-
body. Possible ways of tracking device placement are shown in Picture 15 of this manual.
ATTENTION! There is an electrical communication between the tracking device body and the
negative side of the power supply. In order not to damage the tracking device in vehicles with
a battery disconnect switch you need to dielectrically isolate the tracking device body from the
car body and connect the tracking device in accordance with the scheme of Picture 13 of this
manual.

GSM-antenna and GLONASS/GPS-antenna
place ent
The order of connection and placement of GSM-antenna and GLONASS/GPS-antenna is the
following:
 place the GSM-antenna in the cabin as close to the windscreen as possible (Pic. 15) or
on the vehicle roof, as shown in Picture 16;
 place the GLONASS/GPS-antenna in the cabin as close to the windscreen as possible
(Pic. 15) on the vehicle roof, as shown in the Picture 16;
 carry out GSM-antenna and GLONASS/GPS-antenna wires to an installation place of
the tracking device and connect them to the corresponding sockets of the device, as shown
in Pictures 9 and 11.
