1. Introduction
The GV600MA compact waterproof GPS trackers designed for a wide variety of vehicle tracking
applications. They have multiple I/O interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling
external devices, including a 1-wire interface used for temperature monitoring. Bluetooth 4.0is
supported. Virtual ignition detection and i-Button function are both supported by GV600MA.
Their built-in GPS receiver has superior sensitivity and fast initial positioning. Different models
allow the GV600MA’ location to be monitored in real time or periodically tracked by a backend
server and mobile devices. System integration is straightforward as complete documentation is
provided for the full featured @Track protocol. The @Track protocol supports a wide variety of
reports such as emergency, geo-fence boundary crossings, and external power supply
monitoring and scheduled GPS position reports. It built in BLE 4.0 communication unit as a
Bluetooth device for more devices to interactively communicate and control.

3. Getting Started
3.1. Open and Close the Case
Open the Case
To open: Use a cross screwdriver to loosen the four screws and then lift the top case gently.
To close: Align the top case with the bottom case and then tighten the four screws.
Note:
Pay attention to the following details to close the case. Otherwise, the waterproof capability of
the device may be deteriorated.
1. The positioning poles (total 11) on the top cover must be inserted into the holes of the
rubber ring as shown below.
2. Tighten the screws sufficiently until the rubber ring is squeezed out as shown in the
following figure 1.

GV600MA User Manual

3.2. Install a SIM Card
Open the case and ensure the unit is powered off (unplug the 18-pin cable and switch the
internal battery to the OFF position). Insert the SIM card into the holder. Take care to align the
cut mark and ensure the SIM card is pushed into the SIM holder completely. Close the case.
Figure 2. SIM Card Installation
3.3. Install the Internal Backup Battery
GV600MA has an internal backup Li-ion battery (5200mAH).

3.4. Power Supply Connection
PWR (pin 1 or pin 2)/GND (pin 3 or pin 4) are the power input pins. The input voltage range is
from 8V to 32V. The device is designed to be installed in vehicles that operate on 12V or 24V
systems without the need of external transformers.

position of the vehicle ignition switch as shown above.
An alternative to connect 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 transmit information to the backend server when ignition is on
and enter the power saving mode when ignition is off.
3.6. Digital Inputs
There are four general purpose digital inputs on GV600. They all are negative triggers.

There is one analogue input on GV600MA, and the analogue input voltage range is from 0 to 32V.
The following picture shows the recommended connection.
Figure 7. Typical Analogue Input Connection
Note:
Pin 6 is a multifunction pin: it can be configured as an analogue input.
3.8. Digital Outputs
There are four digital outputs on GV600MA. All are of open drain type and the maximum drain
current is 150 mA. Each output has a built-in over current PTC resettable fuse.

Note:
1. OUT1 will latch the output state during reset.
2. Pay attention to the polarity of the relay if it is pre-installed with an internal flyback diode
during connection. Install an additional diode externally if there is no pre-installed internal diode.
A common diode such as a 1N4004 one will work in most circumstances.
