Safe Operating Rules
Before using the tracking device, study the instructions of GSM/3G/GPRS devices safe
operating.
Make sure the polarity is correct when connecting to the power supply.
The device should be connected straight to the vehicle battery, not to the vehicle power
supply.
To avoid failure:
Make sure the contacts are connected correctly. Unused contacts must be we

Connecting GLONASS aerial
The top of the aerial must face the sky. To get the best view of the sky, we recommend
installing the aerial on the roof or on the windshield, or under the dashboard of the
vehicle.

Blinking of the green LED 1 time means successful reception of a signal from the
satellites.
Connecting GSM/3G-aerial
Position the GSM/3G antenna in such a way that the GSM/3G network signal is not
strongly weakened by the metal housing of the vehicle.
Blinking of the blue LED 1 time means successful connection to the monitoring server.
Connecting Iridium aerial
Carefully screw the aerial to the Terminal, the upper side is above. To have a better view
of the sky it is recommended that the aerial should be mounted on the vehicle roof,
windscreen or under the dashboard.
To provide the proper connection, we recommend that the Iridium antenna is
installed on the horizontal surface at a zero angle to the horizon and with
clear, 360 degrees view of the sky, for example, on the top of the vehicle.
Inserting SIM-card
Insert the SIM cards with the GPRS and SMS services connected. To remove the SIM
card, gently push it in until it clicks and the card automatically slides out of the mobile
computer.
Connecting power supply to the device
Positive supply voltage should be connected to VCC contact, negative supply voltage
should be connected to GND.
If the connection is correct, the red LED will be on.

LED indicators
Red LED is on when the power unit is connected to the tracking device.
Yellow LED is on when the microcontroller is running (blinks with the frequency of 1 Hz). It
is also used to indicate the bootloader mode.
Green LED shows the GLONASS/GPS unit status.

Connecting to PC
In order to connect the tracking device to PC, use USB A – Micro-USB B.
Using defective cables (with disconnected grounds contacts on connectors) may lead to
device’s failure.

Discrete-analog inputs (DAI)
Tracking device has 4 discrete-analog inputs.
Feature Value
Maximum measured voltage 33 V
Analog inputs resolution 1 mV
Maximum transmitted signal
frequency 4 kHz
DAI have the following settings:
Parameter Explanation
Filter type (input
function) 0 - arithmetical average (discrete input
state is also generated);
1 - pulse count;
2 - frequency input;
Filter length to
calculate the mean
value
The greater this parameter, the more
slowly the device responds to the input
signal change. With filter length equal to 1
- averaging does not happen.
Set this parameter to 1 for frequency
inputs.
It is necessary to set this parameter to 1
for pulse inputs. If the tracking device
counts extra pulses, the filter length
should be increased by one and accuracy
should be estimated.
