1. Introduction
The GV55VC 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 CDMA2000-1x
frequencies 800/1900, its location can be monitored in real time or be periodically tracked
by a backend server or other specified terminals. The GV55VC has multiple input/output
interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. Based on the
integrated @Track protocol, the GV55VC can communicate with a backend server through
the CDMA2000-1x 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 GV55VC 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.

cover against the direction of the arrow until it snapped.
3.3. Power Connection
VIN (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/24V
vehicle without the need for external transformers.

3.4. Ignition Detection
Table 6: Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection
Logical State Electrical State
Active 5.0V to 32V
Inactive 0V to 3V or Open
Figure 6: 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.
3.5. Digital Inputs
There are one general purpose digital inputs on GV55VC. They are all negative trigger.

3.6. Digital Outputs
There are two digital outputs on GV55VC. All are of open drain type and the maximum drain
current is 150mA. Each output has the built-in over current and recovery PTC 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, insure the proper relay polarity connected is used. If this diode is
not internal, it should be added externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in
most circumstances.
