The IQL 4G VEHICLE TRACKER includes GSM and LTE microGPS 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. The built-in GPS receiver has
superior sensitivity and fast initial positioning. Their multiband LTE Cat-M1 and Cat-NB1
allow the IQL 4G Vehicle Tracker’ 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 including emergency alarm, geo-fence boundary
crossings, as well as external power supply monitoring and position reports.

5.1. Switching on the Backup Battery
To use the IQL 4G VEHICLE TRACKER backup battery, the switch must be at the ON
position. The switch and theON/OFF position are shown as below.
Figure 7. Switch ON/OFF Position
Note:
1. The switch must be at the “OFF” position when the IQL 4G VEHICLE TRACKER is being
shipped on an aircraft.
2. When the switch is at the “OFF” position, the battery cannot be charged or discharged.
5.2. Power Supply Connection
VIN (pin 3)/GND (pin 7) 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 systems without the need for external transformers.

Figure 8. Typical Power Connection
5.3. Ignition Detection
IGN (pin 4) is used for ignition detection. It is recommended to connect this pin 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 isonly available when the vehicle is running. For example, the power source for the

Figure 14. Typical Connection with a Relay
Warning: Many modern relays come with a flyback diode pre-installed internal to the relay
itself.If the relay has this diode, ensure the relay polarity connected is properly used. If this
diode is not internal, it should be added externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will
work in most circumstances.

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
havingdifficulty in getting GPS and network signal.
7.1. Troubleshooting
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
thenetwork.
Move the device to a place
withgood 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
thebackend server is
wrong.
Make sure the IP address for
thebackend 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
thedevice is not powered
on.
Please check the port and the
device to ensure they
areworking properly.
The device can’t get
GPSfix.
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.
