4. Installation
The Vehicle Unit will only operate on 12 V systems with negative earth
(Negative to body).
oBefore starting installation, disconnect the vehicle battery and
observe other manufacturers safety instructions regarding
alarm systems, airbags or anti theft radio coding.
oIf you want to install the Vehicle Unit in the passenger
compartment, make sure that all antenna cables and wiring is
protected from sharp edges and is routed in such a manner that
it will not be pinched.
oThe device comes with built-in GPS antenna. It shall be
mounted vertically with its top facing the sky. The ideal
location is under the dashboard, close to the windscreen. The
device will not work if it is placed beneath metal or metallic
glass coatings.
oThe SOS button should be installed at a place on the dashboard.
It should be hidden but easily accessed in emergency cases. It
should be placed separate from dashboard controls and car
audio devices.
oDo not connect the spare battery to the Vehicle Unit before you
have completed all electrical wiring and connections to the
device.

5. Vehicle Unit – LED Indicators
GSM Status LED (green)
If LED flashes once every 2 seconds (1/2s):
Device has registered successfully to GSM network.
If LED flashes once per second (1/1s):
Device is connected to GPRS network. Device is
online and able to receive commands over GPRS
and SMS and send data to server.
If LED stays on continuously:
Device Device is transmitting GPRS data to server
or is in a phone call.
If LED flashes rapidly (twice per second):
GSM error detected, such as SIM card not found or
communication command error.
GPS LED (blue)
If LED flashes (once per second):
Device has GPS lock.
If LED stays off:
Device is scanning for GPS signal, no GPS fix.
If LED stays on continuously:

6. Getting Started
After applying the wire harness to the Vehicle Unit, the device will
power up and automatically attempt to register to GSM network.
Provided that your vehicle and the device is positioned in a location
with clear un-obstructed view of the sky, the device will then start
scanning for GPS satellites to obtain its first GPS lock. This first fix
can take several minutes.
Before the device is able to operate properly, some mandatory setup
parameters need to be configured from the Control Base software or
Tracking Websites.
The following basic initializations, SIM card details and GPRS dial-up
information are required to be sent by SMS command in order to
establish communication with the server:
CCNO (included in SuperGuard Service): GSM number
assigned as Control Base number with full authorization
ID: Device ID (8 digits)
APN (Access Point Nodes) for GPRS dial-up
UserID and Password for GPRS dial-up (if required)
IP and Port of host server for data exchange
TO ACTIVATE YOUR EZT DEVICE, PLEASE CONTACT YOUR
DEALER OR TRACKING SERVICE PROVIDER.
15
IMPORTANT NOTE: Once your device has been
initialized, all following commands sent through
the Control Base have to use the same GSM
number (Control Center Number). To switch to a
different Control Center number at a later time,
you will need to send an Initialization command
with the modified Control Center number using
the original GSM number at the Control Base.

7. SOS Emergency Button
The SuperGuard system includes an SOS button that
can save your life in case of accidents, hijacking or
emergency cases.
The SOS button can be installed at a hidden place
within reach of the driver. Pressing this button will
start the following actions:
The Vehicle Unit will send an alarm message and GPS coordinates to
the Control Base. The Control Base software will find the street name
and closest intersection from a map server and send these details
through SMS short messages to all Contact numbers.
8. Activate/ Disable Vehicle Engine
Authorized contact numbers and Control Base
can enable or disable the engine through the
engine immobilizer via short message commands:
To use SMS command to lock the vehicle engine, type and send this
command to the Vehicle Unit command:
$ENG,1
To use SMS command to unlock the vehicle engine, type and send
this command to the Vehicle Unit:
$ENG,0

9. Locating and Tracking
Authorized users can interrogate the Vehicle Unit
to receive locations, street names and details. In
addition, they can poll and track their vehicles
through Control Base software or Tracking Web
services via Internet Explorer or mobile on GPRS
enabled cell phones.
Vehicle Tracking
From authorized contact numbers, you can get location details
directly from the VT-05C by sending the command $GOOGLE per
SMS to the device. The device will reply with Google Street
information, if available.
From the the Tracking Website or GPRS enabled cell phones you
are able to receive updated GPS locations any time and display
them on a map, and view online tracking history event and
communication reports.
From the Control Base or Websites, you are also able to query
locations, view real time movement and setup Tracking schedules
in intervals starting from 10 seconds.
The GPS odometer function can be configured to send travelled
distances for each trip (ignition on/ off signal required), and total
distance travelled.
Up to 500 positions can be stored to the device and uploaded as
batch data. ou will also be able to configure sleeping modes for the
GPS engine to reduce power consumption.

10. Vehicle Monitoring
Users are able to setup and configure
monitoring activities and alerts to the
Vehicle Unit, using Control Base software or
Tracking Web services via Internet Explorer
or mobile on GPRS enabled cell phones.
Geo-Fence Alarms
The Vehicle Unit can been configured with a set of up to four
restricted geographic areas (Geo-Fences).
The Vehicle Unit will send an alarm message and GPS
coordinates to the Control Base. The Control Base software will
find the street name and closest intersection from a map server
and send these details through SMS short messages to
authorized Contact numbers.
Over Speed Alarms
If the Vehicle Unit has been configured with a maximum speed
limit, the following activities will be triggered when the vehicle
speed exceeds the speed limit:
The Vehicle Unit will send an alarm message and GPS
coordinates to the Control Base. The Control Base software
will find the street name and closest intersection from a map
server and send these details through SMS short messages
to all Contact numbers.
The device will continue collecting data for over speed
report until the vehicle speed falls under a specified
threshold.
