GV100 User manual 1. Introduction The GV100 is a powerful GPS Locator designed for vehicle tracking or asserts tracking. With superior receiving sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and Quad-Band GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900, its location can be monitored in real time or periodically tracked by a backend server or other specified terminals. The GV100 has multiple input/output interfaces which can be used for monitoring or controlling external devices. Based on the integrated
@Track protocol, the GV100 can communicate with a backend server through the GPRS/GSM network to transfer reports of Emergency, Geo-fence boundary crossings, Lower Battery or scheduled GPS position along with many other useful functions. Users can also use GV100 to monitor the status of a vehicle and control the vehicle with its onboard relay output. System Integrators can easily setup their tracking systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol. 1.1. Reference Document name GV100 @Track Air Interface Protocol v1 00.PDF Remark The air protocol interface between GV100 and backend server. SN

GV100 User manual 3.3.3. Ignition Detect The PIN 3 of power connector is Input 1 (Digital, Positive trigger). Its electrical conditions are:
Logical State Active Inactive Electrical State 5.0V to 32V 0V to 3V or Open It is strongly recommended to connect this pin to ignition key to support the power saving function when the vehicle is off. Please note input 1 does not have interrupt and the recommended sample rate is 3 seconds. TRACGv100UM001

GV100 User manual 3.3.4. Ignition Control The PIN 4 of power connector is Output 1 (Digital, Negative trigger). It is Open-Drain type with no internal pull-up resistor which also be used to control a relay. It means that the user has to provide a pull-up resistor or a relay coil to any positive voltage (32V max.) to detect an inactive output by voltage. It can drive a continuous current of 0.2A. The electrical conditions of it are:
Logical State Active Inactive Electrical State
<1.5V, max current is 0.2A Open or the pull-up voltage
(max 32V) User can use this pin to control a relay output. An example to control the ignition key is showed in following figure. Please refer to chapter 3.4.5 for the detail information on how to drive a relay with digital output. TRACGv100UM001

GV100 User manual 3.4.2. Digital Input without Interrupt Input 2 and input 5 are digital inputs which do not have interrupt. The sample rate for these two digital inputs is 100ms to 25 seconds. The recommend sample rate is 3 seconds. Please note the high sample rate will also result in high power consumption. Input 2 is positive trigger and Input 5 is negative trigger. 3.4.3. Digital Input with Interrupt Input 3 and input 4 are digital inputs which have interrupt. Input 3 is positive trigger and input 4 is negative trigger. The example connections are same as showed in chapter 3.4.1. Input 4 is also recommended to support panic button function and the connection is showed as following. 3.4.4. Analog Input The pin 5 of I/O cable is used for analog to digital converter. The input voltage range is 0V to 28V and can tolerant 32V voltage. Please note it is an average value based on the sample rate of 10 seconds, which means the bust on voltage input will not be detected. TRACGv100UM001

GV100 User manual 3.4.5. Digital Output The outputs are Open-Drain type with no internal pull-up resistor which also be used to control a relay. It means that the user has to provide a pull-up resistor or a relay coil to any positive voltage (32V max.) to detect an inactive output by voltage. Each output can drive a continuous current of 0.2A. The electrical conditions are:
Logical State Active Inactive Electrical State
<1.5V, max current is 0.2A Open or the pull-up voltage
(max 32V) The outputs are used for cutting/restoring GND. The example connections are:
The example connection to drive a LED The example connection to drive a Relay If the digital output is used to drive a relay, a catch diode is showed across the relay coil, this is necessary to prevent damage to the digital output when the relay is turned off. Many modern relays come with this diode pre-installed internal to the relay itself. If the relay has this diode, insure the proper relay polarity connected is used. If this diode is not internal, it should be added externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances. TRACGv100UM001

GV100 User manual 3.4.6. Digital Output with Built-in Relay The build in relay output is Open-Drain type with no internal pull-up resistor. It means that the user has to provide a pull-up resistor to any positive voltage to detect an inactive output by voltage. The switch capacity of the relay contact is 60W, so it can drive a continuous current of 2A at the input voltage of 30V and 1.85A at the input voltage of 32V. The electrical conditions are:
Logical State Active Inactive Electrical State 0V Open or the pull-up voltage
(max 32V) The output is used for cutting/restoring GND. It can be directly drive a LED and the example connection is showed as following. TRACGv100UM001
