1. Introduction
The GV300C is a compact GPS tracker designed for a wide variety of vehicle tracking
applications. The GV300C has multiple input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or
controlling external devices. Its built in GPS receiver has superior sensitivity and fast time to first
fix. It’s dual band CDMA2000-1x subsystem supports 800/1900MHz allowing the GV300C's
location to be monitored in real time or periodically tracked by a backend server and mobile
devices. It’s built in 3-axis accelerometer allows driver behaviour, motion detection and extended
battery life through sophisticated power management algorithms. 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, geo-fence boundary
crossings, driver behaviour, low battery or scheduled GPS position and many other useful
functions.

3.3. Installing the Internal Backup Battery
Figure 5. Backup Battery Installation
There is an internal backup Li-ion battery,
3.4. Switch ON the Backup Battery
To use the GV300C backup battery, the switch must be at the ON position. Switch on the case and
ON/OFF position are shown below.
Figure 6. Switch and ON/OFF position
Note:
1. The switch must be on the “OFF” position when shipped on an aircraft.
2. When the switch is on the “OFF” position, the battery cannot be charged or discharged.

3.6. Power Connection
PWR (PIN12) / GND (PIN6) 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.

3.7. Ignition Detection
Table 7. Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection
Logical State Electrical State
Active 5.0V to 32V
Inactive 0V to 3V or Open
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 three general purpose digital inputs on GV300C. They are all negative trigger.

Note:
1. OUT1 will latch the output state during reset.
2. All outputs are internally pulled up to PWR pin by a diode. So no external fly back diode is
needed when the output is connected to an inductive load.
