1. Introduction
The GV75MG is a micro-type GSM and LTE GPS tracker designed for a wide variety of vehicle
tracking applications. It has I/O interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external
devices. The built-in GPS receiver has superior sensitivity and fast initial positioning. Their
multiband LTE Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1 allow the GV75MG location to be monitored in real time or
periodically tracked by a backend server or 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 including emergency alarm, geo-fence boundary
crossings, as well as external power supply monitoring and position reports.

5.3. Power Supply Connection
The red wire is power line and the black wire is ground line. The input voltage range for this
device is from 8V to 32V DC. The device is designed to be installed in vehicles that operate
on 12V/24V systems without the need for external transformers.
Figure 6. Typical Power Connection
5.4. Ignition Detection
The white wire is used for ignition detection. It is recommended to connect this line to the “RUN”
position of the vehicle ignition switch as shown below.
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 power saving mode when ignition is off.

There is a negative trigger input on GV75MG. For negative trigger input, the electrical conditions
are:

The example connection is shown as follows:
Figure 8. Example of Connection for Negative Trigger Input
5.6. Digital Outputs
The outputs are of open-drain type with no internal pull-up resistor and it can also be used to
control a relay. It means that the user has to connect a pull-up resistor or a relay coil between
the output pin and any positive voltage (32V max) to generate a correct output. Each output can
drive a continuous current of 150mA max.
The green wire is low side 150mA max, and the blue wire is low side 150mA max with latch.
The electrical conditions are:
Table 10. Electrical Characteristics of Digital Outputs
Logical State Electrical State
Enable <1.5V, drive current is 150mA
Disable Open or the pull-up voltage (max 32V)
Note:
1. The relay output can be latched by software, so even if GV75MG is restarted or powered down
in some cases, the relay output will not change. To use the latch function, the main power and
backup battery should work normally. Otherwise, the relay will always be in normally closed
status as it is.
Digital outputs are used for cutting/restoring GND. The examples of connections are:

GV75MG User Manual
All outputs are internally pulled up to PWR pin by a diode, so no external flyback diode is needed
when the output is connected to an inductive load.
5.7. UART Interface
There is one UART interface on GV75MG. UART is used for configuration and firmware upgrade.
Please note that the UART interfaces are all of RS232 level. For RS232, valid signal levels are 3V
to 15V and -3V to -15V, and the -3V to +3V is not a valid level. 3V to 15V corresponds to logic 0 of
RS232 level, while -3V to -15V corresponds to logic 1.
The examples of connections of UART with female DB-9 and with external devices are shown as
follows.

6. Installation Precautions
Firmly install the device to a reliable surface to prevent falling off.
Make the side with antenna face sky to have better signal reception.
Do not install the device under metal surface or in enclosed environments having
difficulty in getting GPS and network signal.

7. Troubleshooting and Safety Info
7.1. Troubleshooting
Table 11. GV75MG Troubleshooting List
Problem
Possible Reason
Solution
After the device is turned
on, the CEL LED always
flashes quickly.
The signal is too weak. The
device isn’t registered to the
network.
Move the device to a place with
good network coverage.
Messages can’t be reported
to the backend server by
network.
APN is not right.
Ask the network operator for
the right APN.
The IP address or port of the
backend server is wrong.
Make sure the IP address for the
backend server is an identified
address in the internet.
There is no response from
UART when the device is
configured by using UART.
The port is not ready or the
device is not powered on.
Please check the port and the
device to ensure they are
working properly.
The device
can’t get GPS
fix. The GPS signal is weak.
Move the device to a place
under open sky.
It is better to make the side
with antenna face the sky.
7.2. Safety Info
Do not disassemble the device by yourself.
Do not put the device in over heated too humid place, and avoid exposure to direct sunlight.
Too high temperature will damage the device or even cause battery explosion.
Do not use the device on the airplane or near medical equipment.
