The MTB200 is a powerf l GPS locator which designed for vehicle, pets and assets
tracking. With s perior receiving sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and GSM
freq encies 850/900/1800/1900. Its location can be real time or sched le tracked by
beckend server or other specified terminals. Based on the embedded @Track
protocol, MTB200 can comm nicate with a backend server thro gh the GPRS/GSM
network and transfer reports of Emergency, Geo-fence, device stat s and sched led
GPS position etc..... Service provider is easy to set p their tracking platform based
on the f nctional @Track protocol.
Ord.code.: MTB200

The PIN9 on Mini-USB connector is a negative trigger o tp t in newer
hardware version, it is named as OUT PIN.
The o tp t is Open-Drain type with no internal p ll- p resistor which also
can be sed to control a relay. It means that the ser has to connect a p ll-
p resistor or a relay coil between the o tp t PIN and any positive voltage
(32V max.) to generate a correct o tp t. It can drive a maxim contin o s
c rrent of 0.15A.
