1Introduction
The GV55 is a powerful GPS locator designed for vehicle or asset tracking. It has superior
receiver sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and supports Dual-Band GSM
frequencies 850/900/1800/1900, its location can be monitored in real time or be
periodically tracked by a backend server or other specified terminals. The GV55 has
multiple input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external
devices. Based on the integrated @Track protocol, the GV55 can communicate with a
backend server through the GPRS/GSM network to transfer reports of Emergency,
geo-fence boundary crossings, low backup battery or scheduled GPS position as well as
many other useful functions. Users can also use GV55 to monitor the status of a vehicle
and control the vehicle by its external relay output. System Integrators can easily setup
their tracking systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol.

Place the cover on the bottom in the position as shown in the following figure. Slide the
cover against the direction of the arrow until it snapped.
Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered (unplug the 6Pin cable and switch the
internal battery to off position). Slide the holder right to open the SIM card. Insert the SIM
card into the holder as shown below with the gold-colored contact area facing down taking
care to align the cut mark. Close the SIM card holder. Close the case.

Figure 6. Backup Battery Installation
There is an internal backup Li-ion battery,
To use the GV55 backup battery, the switch must be at the ON position. Switch on the
case and ON/OFF position are shown below.
Figure 7. Switch and ON/OFF position
Note:
1-The switch must be on the “OFF” position when shipped on an aircraft.

2-When the switch is on the “OFF” position; the battery cannot be charged or discharged.
3-To reset the device: Remove the external DC power and second switch off the backup
battery. And then supply the external power and switch on the backup battery.
PWR (PIN1) / GND (PIN2) are the power input pins. 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 9. 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 up.
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 backend server when
ignition is on; and enter power saving mode when ignition is off.
There are one general purpose digital inputs on GV55. They are all negative trigger.

Note:
1 - OUT1 will latch the output state during reset.
2- All outputs are internally without pulled up to PWR pin by a diode. So an external
flyback diode is needed when the output is connected to an inductive load.
