1.Introduction
The GV300TP is a powerful GPS locator designed for vehicle or asset tracking. It has superior
receiver sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and supports quad band GSM frequencies
GSM850/GSM900/DCS/PCS. Its location can be monitored in real time or periodically tracked by
a backend server or other specified terminals. It has Bluetooth. The GV300TP has multiple
input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. Based on
the integrated @Track protocol, the GV300TP can communicate with a backend server through
the GPRS/GSM network to transfer reports of emergency, geo-fence boundary crossings, low
backup battery and scheduled GPS position as well as many other useful functions. Users can
also use GV300TP to monitor the status of a vehicle and control the vehicle by its external relay
output. System integrators can easily set up their tracking systems based on the full-featured
@Track protocol.

3.Get Started
3.1.Open the Case
Figure 3.Open the Case
3.2.Install a SIM Card
Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered (unplug the 16Pin cable and switch the
internal battery to the OFF position). Slide the holder right to open the SIM card holder. Insert
the SIM card into the slot as shown below with the yellow colour contact area facing down. Take
care to align the cut mark. Close the SIM card holder. Close the case.
Figure 4.SIM Card Installation

3.3.Install the Internal Backup Battery
GV300TP has an internal backup Li-ion battery, put the battery line on the right of plastic clip
which can avoid the battery line to be damaged when install the screw of PCBA.
Figure 5.Backup Battery Installation
3.4.Switch on the Backup Battery
To use the GV300TP backup battery, the switch must be in the ON position. The switch on the
case and the ON/OFF position are shown below.
Figure 6.Switch and ON/OFF Position
Note:
1. The switch must be in the “OFF” position when the GV300TP is shipped on an aircraft.
2. When the switch is in the “OFF” position, the battery cannot be charged or discharged.

3.5.Install the External GPS Antenna
The GPS antenna is bought by the users themselves from a third party. GV300TP will
automatically detect and use an external antenna when connected.
We recommend the users to use an external antenna with following specifications:

3.6.Power Connection
PWR (PIN11)/GND (PIN6) is the power input pin. 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.

Figure 8.Typical Ignition Detection
IGN (PIN3) 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
ignition is on, and enter the power saving mode when ignition is off.
3.8.Digital Inputs
There are three general purpose digital inputs on GV300TP. They are all negative triggers.

Note:
PIN 12 and PIN13 are multifunction pins: it can be configured as a digital input or an analog
input.
PIN 15 is a multifunction pin: it can be configured as a digital input or a negative output.

3.10.Digital Outputs
There are four digital outputs on GV300TP for negative outputs (PIN7, PIN8, PIN14 and PIN15),
also three of them(PIN7, PIN8 and PIN15) can be configurable as positive outputs. As negative
outputs, all are open drain type and the maximum drain current is 150 mA; As positive outputs,
OUT3 (PIN7) outputs 5V powered for One-wire bus, and two others (PIN8, PIN15) can output
voltage 12V@200mA for 12V system or 24V@200mA for 24V system. Each output has the
built-in over current PTC resettable fuse.

Note:
1. OUT1 will latch the output state during reset.
2. 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 externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances.
