LED Description GV58LAU has three status LEDs: CELL LED, PWR LED and GNSS LED. Table 5: LED Description LED GNSS Device Status GNSS chip is powered off. LED Status OFF GNSS sends no data or data format error occurs. Slow flashing GNSS chip is searching GNSS information. Fast flashing GNSS chip has gotten GNSS information. ON CELL The device is searching network. Fast flashing The device has been registered on the network. Slow flashing SIM card needs pin code to unlock. PWR No external power and internal battery voltage is lower than 3.5V. ON OFF No external power and internal battery voltage is below 3.65V. Slow flashing The external power supply has been connected to the device and the internal battery of the device is charging. Fast flashing The external power supply has been connected to the device and the internal battery of the device is fully charged. ON Note:
1. CELL LED, PWR LED and GNSS LED can be configured to be turned off after a period time by using the configuration tool. Fast flashing: About 100ms ON/ 200ms OFF. Slow flashing: About 200ms ON/ 1000ms OFF. 2. 3. TRACGV58LAUUM001 8 Queclink Confidential GV58LAU User Manual 2.4. Power Connection VIN(Red) and GND(Black) 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 vehicle without the need for external transformers. GND VIN Figure 3: Typical Power Connection 2.5. Ignition Detection Table 6: Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection Logical State Active Inactive Electrical State 5.0V to 32V 0V to 3V or Open IGN (White) Figure 4: Typical Ignition Detection IGN(White) is used for ignition detection. It is strongly recommended to connect this pin to the ignition key RUN position as shown above. An alternative to connecting to the ignition switch is to find a non-permanent power source that TRACGV58LAUUM001 9 Queclink Confidential GV58LAU User Manual 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 the backend server when the ignition is on, and enter power saving mode when the ignition is off. 2.6. Digital Output There are two digital outputs on GV58LAU. All two digital outputs are of open drain type and the maximum drain current is 150mA.

TRACGV58LAUUM001 14 Queclink Confidential GV58LAU User Manual 3.8. Motion Sensor Direction GV58LAU has an internal 3-axis accelerometer supporting driving behavior monitoring, crash detection and motion detection. The following figure shows the directions of the motion sensor. Figure 12: Motion Sensor Direction Note:
1. The opposite direction of the cable bundle is the positive direction of the X-axis. 2. The Z-axis is in the positive direction above the front housing surface. 3. The positive directions of the three axes are perpendicular to each other, as shown in the above figure. TRACGV58LAUUM001 15 Queclink Confidential GV58LAU User Manual 4. Troubleshooting and Safety Information 4.1. Troubleshooting Trouble Possible Reason Solution Table 10: Solutions to Possible Trouble The CELL LED always flashes quickly after the device is turned on. The signal is too weak, and the device cannot be registered to the network. Please move the device to places with good GSM coverage. Messages cannot be reported to the backend server. The IP address or port of the backend server is wrong. Unable to power off the device. It is unable to power off the device if the charger is connected. The device cannot get successful GNSS fix. The GNSS signal is weak. Make sure the IP address for the backend server is an identified address on the Internet. Disconnect charger, and try again. Please move the device to a place with open sky. It is better to let the top surface (the surface with LED indicator) face the sky. 4.2. Safety Information Please do not disassemble the device by yourself. Please do not put the device on overheated or too humid place, and avoid exposure to direct sunlight. Too high temperature will damage the device or even cause battery explosion. Please do not use GV58LAU on the airplane or near medical equipment. TRACGV58LAUUM001 16 Queclink Confidential GV58LAU User Manual 5. FCC Caution 4.1. Troubleshooting 4.2.
