1. INTRODUCTION

The G62 is a compact 4G GPS tracking device with a variety of inputs and outputs to cater for

the most demanding applications. The 4G modem allows for operation on both Cat-M1 and NB-

IoT networks. Its rugged housing is IP67 rated to withstand the harshest environments, without

sacrificing tracking and communications performance. With the internal GPS and cellular

antennas installation is a breeze. The internal backup battery provides alerts and tracking

operations even when external power is removed.

This guide will help you install and test a G62.

2. IN THE BOX

You'll get a compact box containing the G62 and a small packet containing the 4 housing screws.

The GPS and GSM antennas are internal –none are required to be installed.

4. GETTING STARTED

The G62 may be damaged by electrostatic discharge if not handled correctly. Ensure

adequate static precautions are taken. Consider wearing an anti-static wrist guard. Avoid

touching the antennae and any of the electronic components on the PCB. Take special care not

to touch the ceramic GPS antenna as static can damage the sensitive GPS circuitry.

Insert the SIM

1. The SIM holder is located on the top side of the main PCB.

2. Unplug the battery and remove any external power connections.

3. Slide the locking mechanism on the SIM holder to the “unlock” position, and lift the

hinged portion of the SIM holder.

4. Insert the micro SIM into the holder with the keyed corner orientated away from the

hinge and the SIM contacts orientated down to the PCB (see example above).

5. Close the SIM holder and slide the locking mechanism to the “lock” positon.

To easily get up and running:

1. The SIM should not have a PIN on it, unless you use the device specific PIN.

2. The SIM should have credit or airtime

3. The SIM should use one of the APN's built into the firmware. It is possible to set APN's

by SMS

Insert the battery

The battery should be provided disconnected inside the housing. The battery plug is a three-

way connector on the top side of the PCB.

1. Insert the battery plug into the connector. It should only be possible in one orientation.

2. The LED on the board will light up and flash if the battery has sufficient charge.

Batteries are supplied fully charged.

3. Route the battery wires into the space between the GPS board and the housing. Take

care to avoid trapping the wires when sealing the device.

Check the device has connected

4.3.1. LED Behaviour

The battery should come pre-charged. Once you insert it, the internal LED will come on and

flash.

The LED will flash slowly at first. When it opens a connection to the server, it will flash fast.

Once data is sent, it will go solid briefly, and revert to flashing fast. When the device goes to

sleep, the LED will switch off.

If the battery is too low, use the harness to provide external power.

If the LED flashes but the G62 does not connect, check the SIM is in the holder correctly and

check that the SIM is working. Further troubleshooting steps are discussed further on in this

document.

4.3.2. OEM Installer Page

The OEM Installer page is designed to verify than an installation has been done correctly. We

will be using it going forward in this document.

It is not password protected, and as such is designed to not give any sensitive information

away.

To access the page, go to www.oemserver.com/installer

4.3.3. Check connection with the OEM Installer Page

Further testing of inputs/ignition etc will be required once the device is wired in, but for now we

will simply test the device can connect and acquire a GPS fix before going any further.

1. Type in the device serial (6-digit number found underneath the device)

2. Click on Find

The following details will be displayed. See Appendix B –Installer Page Details for a full

description of each field.

Work through these steps in order, to check the device is connecting in and getting a GPS

fix. If an earlier step fails, the data in later steps may not be accurate. For example, if the

device is not connecting, the Battery Voltage will be based on older data, and will not be

current.

1. Check Last Connection (1) to check that the device connected recently. This means the

device is connecting to OEM. The time shown should be around about the time you inserted

the SIM and battery to power on the unit.

2. If device is connecting (1) check Last Commit (2) to see if it is sending data. If the connector

is set, it must be setup on the software platform that is meant to receive the data. e.g.

Telematics Guru.

3. Check the time of the last GPS update (3). It should be recent.

4. Check the battery level (4) is acceptable for the device type. It should be between 3.5-4.2V

(around 3.5V is flat)

Troubleshooting

If the device does not connect (1) check the following:

•If the sim card has been inserted correctly.

•If the sim card has enough mobile data on it and is active (contact your reseller if required)

•If external voltage is connected properly.

•If the device is running, based on LED flashes (see 4.3.1)

•The device is using the correct APN –contact your reseller if you are unsure

If the device does not commit (2) check the following:

•If the device is setup on the platform that the connector points to. e.g. Telematics Guru.

Check that both the serial number and device type are correct on the platform. (Contact your

reseller for assistance)

If the device does not update GPS (3) check the following:

•The device has a clear view of the sky

If there are crosses showing for (5), (6), (7) or (8), consult Appendix C –Firmware and

Parameter Updates for more information.

You can now continue with the installation.

Housing Assembly

Ensure that the main PCB is secured to the housing with the 4 small PCB screws and that the

SIM is inserted as above. Ensure that the device is online before sealing it.

1. The seal should be the latest Digital Matter clear silicon seal to ensure the IP rating of the

housing.

2. Ensure that the seal is in the base and lying flat, and that there is not dust or dirt on the seal.

3. Ensure the battery cable will not be pinched by the lid and place it onto the base.

4. Insert the 4 x 20mm housing screws. Note that G52S screws look similar but are 25mm in

length. DO NOT use G52S screws as they will crack the plastic housing when tightened.

5. Hand tighten the screws to a uniform tightness.

6. Ensure that the cable gland is tightened around the cable.

Please make sure that you take extra precautions to ensure that the device has been sealed

adequately when it will be installed in environments where it is exposed to the weather or water

or liquid spraying. The Digital Matter manufacturer’s warranty does not cover damage due to

water ingress as the final installation is not performed by Digital Matter.

5. INSTALL LOCATION

The housing has mounting holes for screws, bolts or cable ties.

There are a few considerations for the final mounting position of the G62.

The G62 has been engineered to have the best possible GPS reception. It will work from inside

engine bays, body panels, under dashboards and other places where other GPS devices

simply fail to operate reliably.

Although the G62 will work in these locations it is always advisable to install the G62 where it is

best able to get signals from the GPS satellites, with the optimum position being a location with

a clear 180-degree view of the sky.

6. INSTALLATION

Connect Power and Ignition

Connect the following wires to the vehicle:

1. Red (external power) to the vehicle positive - 8 to 36V (MAX). Verify this supply is

constant, even when the vehicle is switched off. Sometimes other (non-constant)

signal lines can appear to be a 12 or 24V constant supply.

2. Black (Ground) to the chassis ground

3. White (Ignition) to an ignition source –something that will be on when the vehicle ignition is

on, and off when the ignition is off.

6.1.1. Testing

Use the installer page to verify the External Power (1) and Ignition (2) is operating correctly.

The Ignition input should change from off to on when you toggle the vehicle’s ignition.

Driver ID –Connecting an iButton Reader

The G62 can read Driver ID tags using the following reader.:

- iButton reader: Dallas iButton tags.

Connections for the Digital Matter harness are as follows –Other iButton readers will work but

may have different harness colours.
