TRACGV55UM001 - 7 - 1 Introduction The GV55 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 GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900, its location can be monitored in real time or be periodically tracked by a backend server or other specified terminals. The GV55 has multiple input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. Based on the integrated @Track protocol, the GV55 can communicate with a backend server through the GPRS/GSM 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 GV55 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. Table 1.

TRACGV55UM001 - 8 - 2 Product Overview Before starting, check all the following items have been included with your GV55. If anything is missing, please contact your supplier. Figure 1. Appearance of GV55 2.1. Check Part List Queclink Confidential

TRACGV55UM001 - 9 - Table 3. Part List Name Picture GV55 Locator 63mm*50mm*21.8mm User Cable DATA_CABLE_M (Optional) The GV55 has a 6 PIN interface connector. It contains the connections for power, I/O. The sequence and definition of the 6PIN connector are shown in following figure: Figure 2. The 6 PIN connector on the GV55 2.2. Parts List 2.3.

TRACGV55UM001 - 11 - 3 .Getting Started Figure 3. Opening the Case Insert the triangular-pry-opener into the gap of the case as shown below, push the opener up until the case unsnapped. Figure 4. Closing the Case 3.1. Opening the Case 3.2. Closing the Case Queclink Confidential

TRACGV55UM001 - 12 - Place the cover on the bottom in the position as shown in the following figure. Slide the cover against the direction of the arrow until it snapped. Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered (unplug the 6Pin cable and switch the internal battery to off position). Slide the holder right to open the SIM card. Insert the SIM card into the holder as shown below with the gold-colored contact area facing down taking care to align the cut mark. Close the SIM card holder. Close the case. Figure 5.

TRACGV55UM001 - 13 - Figure 6. Backup Battery Installation There is an internal backup Li-ion battery, To use the GV55 backup battery, the switch must be at the ON position. Switch on the case and ON/OFF position are shown below. Figure 7. Switch and ON/OFF position Note: 1-The switch must be on the “OFF” position when shipped on an aircraft. 3.4. Installing the Internal Backup Battery 3.5. Switch ON the Backup Battery Queclink Confidential

TRACGV55UM001 - 14 - 2-When the switch is on the “OFF” position; the battery cannot be charged or discharged. 3-To reset the device: Remove the external DC power and second switch off the backup battery. And then supply the external power and switch on the backup battery. PWR (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 or 24V systems without the need for external transformers. Figure 8. Typical Power Connection Table 6. Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection Logical State Electrical State Active 5.0V to 32V Inactive 0V to 3V or Open 3.6. Power Connection 3.7. Ignition Detection Queclink Confidential

TRACGV55UM001 - 15 - Figure 9. 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. There are one general purpose digital inputs on GV55. They are all negative trigger. Table 7. Electrical Characteristics of the digital inputs Logical State Electrical Characteristics Active 0V to 0.8V Inactive Open The following diagram shows the recommended connection of a digital input. 3.8. Digital Inputs Queclink Confidential

TRACGV55UM001 - 16 - Figure 10. Typical Digital Input Connection There are two digital outputs on GV55. 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 3.9. Digital Outputs Queclink Confidential

TRACGV55UM001 - 18 - Figure 13. Typical Connection with LED Note: 1 - OUT1 will latch the output state during reset. 2- All outputs are internally without pulled up to PWR pin by a diode. So an external flyback diode is needed when the output is connected to an inductive load. Figure 14. GV55 LED on the Case 3.10. Device Status LED Queclink Confidential

TRACGV55UM001 - 19 - GV55 has three status led that GSM GPS PWR led. Table 9. Definition of Device status and LED Note: 1 - GSM LED cannot be configured. 2 - GPS LED and PWR LED can be configured to turn off after a period of time using the configuration tool 3 - Fast flashing is about 60ms ON/ 780ms OFF 4 - Slow flashing is about 60ms ON/ 1940ms OFF LED Device status LED status GSM (note1) Device is searching GSM network Fast flashing (Note3) Device has registered to GSM network. Slow flashing (Note4) SIM card needs pin code to unlock. ON GPS (note 2) GPS chip is powered off OFF GPS sends no data or data format error. Slow flashing GPS chip is searching GPS info. Fast flashing GPS chip has gotten GPS info. ON PWR (note 2) No external power and internal battery voltage is lower than 3.35V. OFF No external power and internal battery voltage is below 3.5V.
