1. Introduction
The GV35 is a powerful GPS locator designed for vehicle or asset tracking. It has superior
receiver sensitivity, fast TTFF (Time to First Fix) and supports Quad-Band GSM
frequencies 850/900/1800/1900, its location can be monitored in real time or be
periodically tracked by a backend server or other specified terminals. The GV35 has
multiple input/output interfaces that can be used for monitoring or controlling external
devices. Based on the integrated @Track protocol, the GV35 can communicate with a
backend server through the GPRS/GSM network to transfer reports of Emergency,
geo-fence boundary crossings, low backup battery or scheduled GPS position as well as
many other useful functions. Users can also use GV35 to monitor the status of a vehicle
and control the vehicle by its internal relay output. System Integrators can easily setup
their tracking systems based on the full-featured @Track protocol.

3. Getting Started
3.1. Opening the Case
Figure 3. Opening the Case
Insert the triangular-pry-opener into the gap of the case as shown below, push the opener
up until the case unsnapped.
3.2. Closing the Case
TRACGV35UM001
Figure 4. Closing the Case
GV35 User manual
Place the cover on the bottom in the position as shown in the following figure. Slide the
cover follow the direction of the arrow until it snapped.
3.3. Installing a SIM Card
Open the case and ensure the unit is not powered (unplug the 6Pin cable and switch the
internal battery to off position). Slide the holder right to open the SIM card. Insert the SIM
card into the holder as shown below with the gold-colored contact area facing down taking
care to align the cut mark. Close the SIM card holder. Close the case.
Figure 5. SIM Card Installation
3.4. Power Connection
PWR (PIN4) / GND (PIN1) are the power input pins. The input voltage range for this
device is from 9V to 16V. The device is designed to be installed in vehicles that operate on
12V systems without the need for external transformers.

3.5. Ignition Detection
Table 5: Electrical Characteristics of Ignition Detection
Logical State Electrical State
Active 5.0V to 16V
Inactive 0V to 3V or Open
Figure 7. Typical Ignition Detection
IGN (Pin6) 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.
3.6. Digital Input
There is a general purpose digital input on GV35. It is negative trigger.

3.7. Digital Output
There is a digital output on GV35 which is open drain type and can latch the output statue
when there is no control. The output has a built-in over current and recovery PTC fuse and
the maximum drain current is 150 mA.
