GV300VC User Manual 1. Introduction The GV300VC is a compact GPS tracker designed for a wide variety of vehicle tracking applications. It has multiple I/O 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. Its dual band CDMA2000-1x allows the GV300VC's location to be monitored in real time or periodically tracked by a backend server and mobile devices.

GV300VC User Manual TRACGV300VCUM001 3.3 Install the Internal Backup Battery Figure 5. Backup Battery Installation GV300VC has an internal backup Li-ion battery. 3.4 Switch on the Backup Battery To use the GV300VC backup battery, the switch must be in the ON position. The switch on the case and the ON/OFF position are shown below. Figure 6. Switch and ON/OFF position Note: 1. The switch must be in the “OFF” position when the GV300VC is shipped on an aircraft. 2.
GV300VC User Manual 3.5 Install the External GPS Antenna (Optional) There is a SMA GPS antenna connector on GV300VC. The GV300VC will automatically detect and use an external antenna when connected. Figure 7. GPS Antenna of GV300VC 3.5.1. GPS Antenna Specification Table 6.

GV300VC User Manual 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 above. 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.
GV300VC User Manual 3.9 Analog Inputs There are two analog inputs on GV300VC, and the analog input voltage range is from 0 to 16V. The following diagram shows the recommended connection. Figure 11. Typical Analog Input Connection Note: PIN 15 is a multifunction pin: it can be configured as a digital input or an analog input. 3.10 Digital Outputs There are three digital outputs on GV300VC. All are of open drain type and the maximum drain current is 150 mA.
GV300VC User Manual Figure 13. Typical Connection with Relay Figure 14. Typical Connection with LED Note: 1. OUT1 will latch the output state during reset. 2. Many modern relays come with a flyback diode pre-installed internal to the relay itself. If the relay has this diode, ensure the relay polarity is properly connected. If this diode is not internal, it should be added externally. A common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances.
