1. Introduction
The GMT10 0 is a powe rful GPS locator designe d for vehicle or asset tracking. It has
superior receiver sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and supports Quad-Band GSM
frequencies 850/1900, its location can be monitored in real time or be periodically tracked
by a backend server or other s pecified terminals. The GMT100 has multiple input/outpu t
interfaces that can be us ed fo r mo nitoring or cont rolling e xternal devices. Based on th e
integrated @Track protocol, the GMT100 ca n communicate with a backend server
through the GPRS network to tr ansfer report s of Emergency, geo-fence boundar y
crossings, lo w backup battery or scheduled GPS position as well as many other useful
functions. Users can also use GM T100 to monitor the status of a vehicle an d control the
vehicle by its external relay output. System Integrators can easily s etup their trackin g
systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol.

3. Getting Started
3.1. Installing a SIM Card
Step 1: Remove the cover by screwdriver.
Step 2: Make sure the contact area is facing down, insert the SIM into the slot.
Step 3: Install the SIM card cover.
Figure 2. SIM Card Installation
3.2. Switch the set on/off
There are two methods to Power on GMT100:
- GMT100 external power turned on.
- Connect GMT100 to PC with user cable.
When the external power or USB cable power be removed,GMT100 will switch to internal
backup battery and keep on running. When internal backup battery is exhausted, GMT100
will give a report and then turn off.
Note:
1-External power and User USB power can be present at same time.
2-For USB port current limitation, w hen configuring GMT100 by user cable, please let
backup battery on using.
There is one method to turn off GMT100.

GMT100 User Manual
TRACGMT100UM001 -12-
-Remove the external power and USB power.
-Press the reset key.
Note:
GMT100 PWR LED will off.
3.3. Reset Key
There is a reset key behind the SIM card cover. If the power wire is connected to vehicle
power, the system will reboot when the key is pressed; if the system is powered by the
backup battery and th e power wire is not be c onnected to vehi cle power, the system will
shutdown when the key is pressed.
Note:
When you finished the firmware upgrade, please press the reset key to reboot the system
before configuring the terminal.
3.4. USB connector
There is a USB connector on GMT100 which is beside the SIM card. With the USB
connector a nd the DAT A_CABLE_M, user ca n configure the syste m or downl oad
firmware. As long as the DATA_CABLE_M is plugged in, the system will boot.
3.5. Power Connection
The red wire is power wire and the black wire is ground wire. The input voltage range for
this device is from 12 to 24V. The device is designed to be installed in vehicles that
operate on 12V or 24V systems without the need for external transformers.

Logical State Electrical State
Active 12/24V
Inactive 0V to 3V or Open
Figure 4. Typical Ignition Detection
The white wire is u sed for ignition detection. It is str ongly recommended to connect this
wire to ignition key “RUN” position as shown up.
An alternative to connecting to the ignition switch is to find a non permanent power source
that is only a vailable when the vehicle is running. For example the pow er source for the
FM radio.
Ignition signal can be co nfigured to start transmitting information to backend server whe n
ignition is on; and enter power saving mode when ignition is off.
3.7. Digital Input
There is a g eneral purpose digital input whic h is the blue wire on GMT100 User Cable,
and it is a negative trigg er. The digital input is r ecommended to support panic button
function.

3.8. Analog Input
There is an analog input which is the green wire on GMT100 User Cable, and the analog
input voltage range is 12/24V. The following diagram shows the recommended
connection.

3.. Relay Output
There is a built-in cut relay on GMT1 00, and it is a NC(Normal Close) type relay w hich
maximum switching voltage is 12VDC an d ma ximum continuous curre nt is 20A. On
GMT100 user cable one 18AWG yellow wire is connected to the relay NC contact and the
other 18AWG yellow wire is connected to the relay COM contact. In certain instances the
two wires will be connected together.
Note:
1: The rela y output can b e latched by the software, so even if the GMT10 0 is restart or
power down in some cases, the relay output will not change. To use the latch function the
main power and backup battery should be connec ted. Otherwise the relay will be always
in normal close status.
2: The relay works only with 12V main powe r. Use it when the main pow er is 24V may
result in damaging.
3: Many modern relays come with a flyback diode pre-installed internal to the relay itself. If
the relay has this diode, ensure the relay polarity is properly connected. If this diode is not
internal, it should be added externall y. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in
most circumstances.
