The GSM modem is intended to provide a connection between the controller and the GSM mobile network. The GSM signal is received and transmitted via an external GSM antenna. The controller is equipped
with a SIM card to be identied by the GSM
network and to be able to access the services provided by the mobile network operator. The
GSM modem performs several functions:
• Enables the device to access the GSM
network and to be identied by the network
using the SIM card.
• Enables data exchange (including transfer of track points) between the AutoGRAPH­GSM controller and the server via TCP/IP through the Internet by means of General Packet Radio Service (GPRS).
• Enables exchange of information and
control SMS messages and USSD requests
(for example, for subscriber’s personal account monitoring).
GSM-modem
GPS / GLONASS module
CPU
The GNSS module is designed using a highly sensitive receiver based on high performance u-blox M8 engine. It receives coded signals by means of external active GPS/ GLONASS antenna from the satellites of the Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR) and GLONASS, and uses its internal computer to determine the geographical coordinates
of the receiver position, the exact time, speed and direction of movement. Received data is transferred via NMEA protocol from the GNSS module output to the central processing unit for further processing. The u-blox MAX-M8 supports concurrent reception of two GNSS systems and, as a result, the information being received is highly accurate and available even in the case of very poor visibility of satellites.
The central processing unit is the core of the AutoGRAPH-GSM controller, which unites all of the system components together and ensures their interaction in accordance with the program stored in the device. The processing unit is a high-speed single-chip microcomputer able to perform computations of at a speed and accuracy level that is
sufcient to meet various navigation and
service challenges. The custom rmware,
developed by TechnoKom specialists,
enables the CPU to receive data from the
different modules of the system, to perform logical and mathematical processing of the data and to control the modules as appropriate. It should be noted that the
functional capability of the controller rmware
is being constantly enhanced and extended so as to provide users with new and improved features and options.
Power Supply Driver
The power supply driver with protection circuits generates all of the necessary supply voltages for controller components. The primary power supply input ensures operation at vehicle system voltage of 10­50 V, which makes it possible to use the
controller on the majority of vehicles without employing any additional voltage regulation.
Furthermore, the power supply driver protects the controller against polarity reversal, voltage overload, interference, etc. A resettable fuse is installed in the supply circuit of the printed circuit board in order to provide extra protection.

The Non-Volatile FLASH memory module serves as a black box storage device to store the collected data. The FLASH memory module is designed to store up to 270,000 records for up to 10 years – even when the device is powered off. The FLASH memory module in the AutoGRAPH-GSM is designed to use the ring buffer principle, which means that new records
will be written over the oldest records rst, ensuring that the most recent data is always
available.
The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller is equipped with additional memory to store log-les and
photos from cameras connected to the controller. The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller uses an external micro SD card to store additional data.
Non-Volatile FLASH Memory Module / Additional Memory
Inputs / Outputs
The I/O block is designed for monitor and measure parameters of external equipment and devices, as well as for control various actuators and warning devices.
The I/O block is divided into three sections:
Digital inputs.
These inputs have two states: «1» and «0» , and are able to show a change of input state,
count pulses and measure frequency. The controller has the four active low inputs and 2 active high inputs.
In addition, analogue inputs of the controller can operate as digital inputs with the congurable
switching threshold.
Logic of the discrete inputs operation is shown in the table below:
Physical state of the input
Logic state of
active low input active high input
High (connected to supply voltage) 1 1 Open-Circuit 1 0 Low (connected to ground) 0 0
IMPORTANT
Note that logic states of the two inputs dier in open-circuit state (see the table above). This must be taken into account when making connections.
Operation modes of the discrete inputs are fully programmable for each input and include:
• Normal input. In this mode, the digital inputs are monitored. When the input state changes, the time and location data is stored into the device memory. Normal mode is useful for recording the time of different sensors’ activation and for monitoring the performance of
Long-term exposure of the controller to the maximum values of the supply circuit may cause irreparable damage to the protection circuits due to overheating or disruption. This may lead to failure of the device. DO NOT exceed the maximum values stated. Operating voltage range and maximum supply voltage values are specied in Technical Specications section.
IMPORTANT

equipment and mechanisms, such as an alarm button, oil pressure sensor, ignition system, passenger presence sensor, security alarm triggering, opening of doors, limit switches of various special-purpose and construction machinery mechanisms, etc. This mode also enables the device to perform unscheduled transmission of data to the server via GPRS
upon input state changes, as well as to send an SMS message to the specied phone
number.
• Storage counter. This mode is intended to track the input switching states and to count
various events. This may include counting of pulses from fuel-ow pulse output sensor (of
DRT-5 or VZO type), passenger count, speed sensor, tipper body lift sensor, etc. In storage counter mode, the number of pulses from each sensor is stored in memory. The location data is not stored.
• Periodic counter. This mode is intended for counting of pulses within one minute. Periodic counter mode is used for taking the readings of sensors, which transmit measured values in pulse bursts in amounts proportional to the measured value. This mode is used, for example, for fuel level, temperature and engine speed sensors with pulse outputs. This mode does not involve recording of a track point into the storage memory when the input state changes.
• Frequency. This mode is intended for sensors with frequency outputs. The device is
capable of measuring frequencies of 0 – 2,500 Hz. Frequency measurement mode is used,
for example, for fuel level sensors with frequency outputs, engine and shaft speed sensors, proximity sensors etc.
High-impedance inputs
Furthermore, the AutoGRAPH-GSM+ controller is equipped with one digital high-impedance active high input with logic levels independent of the supply voltage of the device connected to this input.
Analogue inputs
Analogue inputs are designed to measure the signal level generated by analogue sensors and can be used to measure fuel level in a tank, temperature, pressure and other properties. The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller is equipped with two 10-bit analogue inputs, which are fully
congurable. Each analogue input of the controller can be set up to record data when the level of the analogue signal changes by a specied value. The measuring range of the rst analogue input is 0 to 10 V or 0 to 1023 ADC stages.
The measuring range of the second analogue input is 0 to 24 V (but not more than supply voltage level of the controller) or 0 to 1024 ADC stages.
Furthermore, the analogue inputs of the controller can be set up to operate as active high
digital inputs with a congurable switching threshold. When an analogue input operates as
a digital one, the controller simultaneously records both analogue data and corresponding logical state. This allows analogue inputs to be used to measure an analogue value and detect a threshold crossing (for example, critical pressure level, temperature or fuel level etc.).
Digital outputs
Digital outputs are intended to control any external actuators and turn on warning devices. The controller has two programmable, open collector, discrete outputs. The outputs are
controlled by an SMS command and can be set up to send a pulse of a specied length or to switch to specied state. Advanced users can send control commands via the data server.
In simple case, the discrete output can be used to warn about speeding, an entrance or exit of the geofenced area, etc.
20
USB Port
The USB port embedded into controller is intended to:
• congure and check the performance of the controller by means of the conguration program – GSMConf;
• read data from the device so as to deliver them to the AutoGRAPH Dispatch Software;
• update processor microcode (rmware) of the device;
• use the controller in the «GPS mouse» mode.
When using the device as a GPS mouse, the tracker, which is connected to the USB port of a PC, laptop or PDA with a data cable via virtual serial port (СОМ port), transmits the location
data in RMC format through the NMEA protocol once per second. This enables the users to
locate the object equipped with the AutoGRAPH-GSM using software such as OziExplorer,
Google Earth Plus/Pro, 2GIS for PC 3.0, Garmin, Navitel and many others. For details please
refer to «Using the GPS mouse» document.
CAN Bus (SAE J1939/FMS)
The CAN bus is an industrial network standard primarily designed for interconnection of various actuators and sensors in a single network. It is used in the automotive industry as a management and control line. The CAN interface of the controller may be connected to the CAN bus of a vehicle and is intended for use with SAE J1939 / FMS standard protocol. This standard is widely used in vehicles of well-known truck manufacturers, such as SCANIA,
MAN, VOLVO, DAF, IVEKO, RENAULT, MERCEDES (DaimlerChrysler), KAMAZ and MAZ
trucks of latest models etc. Advanced users can set up the tracker to receive data in any CAN protocol using the GSMConf program.
Use of the two-wire CAN bus enables quick connection and allows access to a great number
of parameters directly from the sensors of vehicles.
Using the CAN bus, the following information would become available: vehicle speed, cruise
control status, accelerator pedal position, brakes and clutch switch statuses, fuel consumption, fuel level in tanks (up to 6 sensors), engine speed, service distance, engine hours, engine coolant temperature, oil and fuel temperatures, total vehicle distance and vehicle distance per day and axle weight. Furthermore, it enables monitoring of some custom parameters not covered by SAE J1939 / FMS standard.
RS-485 (TIA / EIA-485-A)
RS-485 (TIA / EIA-485-A) is a data transfer standard for data transmission via a two-wire serial channel. This bus serves to simultaneously connect up to 32 different devices and
sensors compatible with the controller’s rmware by two wires.
The controller is equipped with two RS-485 buses. Additional RS-485-2 Bus is designed for connecting a photo camera to the tracker. The bus enables users to connect up to 8 fuel level LLS sensors, as well as Escort-TD,
Strela-D485, DUT-E-485, DT7.3-06, UZI-1.х and other sensors, and some extra expansion
modules to extend the controller’s functions, e.g. display for indication and messaging with a
vehicle driver, passenger trafc metering unit, expansion modules for discrete and analogue
inputs, barometrical altimeter, RS-232/RS-485 converters, etc.
The RS-485 port of AutoGRAPH-GSM controllers support MODBUS protocol that enables the
users to connect the controller to the thermal sensors, which transmit data via this protocol.
21
RS-232 (EIA/TIA-232-E)
RS-232 is a communication standard for serial communication between two devices: the
AutoGRAPH-GSM controller and any external device compatible with the controller’s
rmware.
The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller supports interaction with the external GPS/GLONASS receiver via NMEA 0183 standard, the CAN-LOG module and the AutoGRAPH-NAVIGATOR Display via RS-232.
The AutoGRAPH-GSM is equipped with 3-axis digital accelerometer with wide range of full scales from ±2g to ±16g intended to detect motion, determine the tracker’s orientation,
measure vibration level, etc. The tracker can be set up to send a notication to a preset
telephone number or data to a preset server, when detecting the acceleration exceeding a preset threshold.

AutoGRAPH-GSM controllers, installed on vehicle, constantly receive coded signals from Global Positioning System (NAVSTAR) and GLONASS satellites. These signals are used to determine exact coordinates of the vehicle location.
The coordinates are written to the non-volatile memory of the AutoGRAPH-GSM controller, either on a regular basis or adaptively. Furthermore, the storage memory records and stores the statuses of various sensors connected to the tracker or data buses, and other parameters required by the software.
Either on a regular basis or upon occurrence of a preset event, the collected data is transferred to the dedicated AutoGRAPH server over the Internet using General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) supported by a GSM mobile network operator.
The server is a computer running Microsoft Windows Server with an Internet connection, permanent IP-address and reliable data storage device. The server is responsible for receiving data from AutoGRAPH-GSM controllers, storing the data and transmission upon request to the dispatcher stations. Key
les are used to provide data access security
on the server.
Dispatcher workstations are personal computers or laptops with the AutoGRAPH dispatch software installed (and with the
key les required for particular vehicles)
that has either Internet access or server connection via LAN. An Internet connection and computer with the Dispatch Software will enable users to obtain data from anywhere in the world. Easy deployment of the Dispatch Software without the need to install third-party database support enables users to immediately create new dispatcher workstations with any PC running MS Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7/8. The number of workstations is unlimited. Dispatch Software is completely free of charge and the latest
version may be downloaded from the ofcial website of TechnoKom: http://www.tk-chel.ru.
Mobile users can easily track vehicle movement in real-time using WEB based AutoGRAPH.WEB dispatch software run on any mobile device connected to the Internet.
Upon the user’s request or on a regular basis
the dispatcher workstation connects with the server to update data on. Depending on version of the AutoGRAPH Server Software, access to the data is provided according the controller key or the personal login and password. The received data is stored in a local folder on the dispatcher workstation that enables processing of the data without being connected to the server. Furthermore,
to reduce the web trafc, the dispatching network may be organized in such a way as
to send any missing data through the Internet to only one workstation, while all other users may use these downloaded data via LAN by retrieving them from the local data folder of the workstation. The users may use this data to track the vehicles on a map, browse through various parameters, events and readings of various sensors. In addition, it is possible to generate various types of reports and charts both for each particular vehicle and in groups.
To interact with various external applications
and handlers (including 1С), AutoGRAPH
Software incorporates OLE server application (COM server) which enables data exchange between AutoGRAPH Software and the programs written in the majority of existing programming languages which support OLE­enabled data exchange, as well as programs and systems based on their own embedded
programming language (1С Enterprise, MS Ofce, various databases, etc.).
Furthermore, there is an option to upload all tracking data and reports in the form of MS
Excel, DBF and CSV les, as well as to use an external customizable reporting module
which allows users not only to generate a
large number of reports with fully customized
layout, data and charts to be presented, but also to save them in many different formats to enable further processing, sending or
presentation: PDF, Open Ofce ODS, Open

Control SMS commands and preset events enables sending of vehicle location
coordinates and various notication
messages to an ordinary cell phone of GSM standard by means of SMS messages. Furthermore, SMS commands can be used
to congure AutoGRAPH-GSM+ tracker
directly from a cell phone or a PDA.

Connection of AutoGRAPH-GSM controller
This section covers connection procedures of AutoGRAPH-GSM/GSM+ controllers:
• Installation of a SIM card
• Installation of an microSD card
• Connection of a GPS/GLONASS antenna
• Connection of a GSM antenna
• Power supply connection
• Digital inputs connection
• Analogue inputs connection
• Outputs connection
• 1-Wire connection
• RS-485 bus (TIA / EIA-485-A) connection
• RS-232 bus connection
• CAN bus (SAE J1939 / FMS) connection
To make the device ready for the simplest operation scheme it would be sufcient just to
install a SIM card, GPS/GLONASS and GSM antennas, and to connect a device to a power supply source.
However, the hardware and software of AutoGRAPH-GSM controllers includes an extensive
range of features and capabilities, which allow for easy conguration, customization and
adaptation of the system to the needs of the user.
Application of digital and analogue inputs, outputs and data buses enables permanent monitoring of various parameters (for example, fuel consumption and fuel level), as well as to monitor operating conditions and performance of external equipment and devices and to promptly respond to various events (for example, to the pushing of an alarm button). The output of the controller enables the device to control various actuators and warning devices. An external backup battery enables the controller to operate even when the main power fails. All of these features allow the creation of diverse variants of the system able to perform monitoring of a great number of parameters and to respond to various events.
The following sections focus on basic connection diagrams of various interfaces, inputs and outputs of the AutoGRAPH-GSM controller.
26
Installation of SIM Card
The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller is equipped with a dual SIM holder.
To insert SIM cards:
• Unscrew the four fastening screws and remove the back cover of the tracker.
• Insert a SIM card in the lower retaining slot of the SIM card holder with the card’s contacts
facing the PCB (see g.1). Be sure that the card’s keying matches the key on the PCB (see g.2).
• If necessary, insert a second SIM card in the upper retaining slot of the SIM card holder
with the card’s contacts facing the PCB (see g.3). Be sure that the SIM card is inserted into the retaining slot with its cut angle facing the edge of the printed circuit board (see g.4).
• When the SIM cards are connected place the back cover back and tighten the four fastening screws.
The SIM card installed in the lower retaining slot of the SIM card holder is the main card. When switched on, the AutoGRAPH-GSM controller will operate with this SIM card. The SIM card installed in the upper retaining slot of the SIM card holder is the backup card. The tracker will switch to the backup SIM card when the main card is unavailable (disabled, damaged or not inserted).
For proper operation it is quite sufcient to insert the main SIM card into the tracker. But the
backup card provides the appropriate operation of the controller even if the main SIM card is damaged. Due to this the controller will stay connected and be able to transfer data full time.
Do a test of a new SIM card in a cell phone before you install it into the controller. This ensures that GPRS / SMS / USSD services are enabled and operate properly, the PIN code matches the code preset in the controller (in order to prevent locking), and a personal account associated with the SIM card has the sucient balance for successful operation of the services.
IMPORTANT
27
Installation of MicroSD Card
The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller is equipped with a microSD card slot located on the upper side of the PCB. The microSD card is used to store photos from cameras connected to the tracker. The tracker supports operation with microSD cards with maximum capacity of 32GB.
To insert microSD card:
• Unscrew the four fastening screws and remove the back cover of the tracker.
• Insert a microSD card in the slot with the card’s contacts facing the PCB (see g.1).
• When the microSD card is inserted, place the back cover back and tighten the four fastening screws.
To remove the microSD card, gently push the card’s external edge and release it. Then remove the card.
28

The controller is supplied with magnetic mounted waterproof, active GPS/GLONASS antenna. The GPS/GLONASS antenna is connected to the connector in the lower-right part of the AutoGRAPH-GSM controller. The position of the GPS/GLONASS antenna is critical to goof performance of the GPS receiver, therefore it is highly recommended to plan the antenna’s position on a vehicle before installation. The antenna should be located in an open area, which shall ensure free GPS signal
transmission; its active surface should face the sky and be parallel to the celestial sphere. Possible variants are illustrated in the picture below:
1. The recommended position for GPS/GLONASS antenna location
2. A possible position for GPS/ GLONASS antenna location
3. Un-recommended position for GPS/ GLONASS antenna location
When locating the antenna make allowance for the length of its cable. When laying the cable, avoid sharp edges. Cable bend radius should be at least 10 cable diameters (about 3…5 cm). Do not x antenna before you make settings and congure your system, it is highly recommended to determine its nal position and install only when you are absolutely sure that the system is congured and operates properly.
Do not splice or cut the antenna cable.

Power Supply Connection
The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller is connected to the power supply source through the interface cable supplied with the device. The device is supplied with a fuse intended to provide a short circuit protection of power supply. The fuse holder is installed on a wire ring, which should be cut before operation.
When making connections, pay special attention to the safety rules stipulated by the regulations for motor vehicle repair procedures. All connections should be properly isolated and securely connected. If the wire is too short, it can be spliced with a wire of at least 0.5 mm2 cross section (20 AWG or thicker).
The power supply input of the controller is rated for the vehicle system operating voltage of 10-50 V DC.
Power can be fed to the controller either before or after the vehicle’s battery

Backup Power Supply Connection
To avoid the tracker turning off, if the main power supply shuts down, the power supply driver supports connection of a backup power supply.
Switching between the main power supply and the backup power supply is performed automatically. If the main power supply turns off, the tracker switches to the backup power supply. As soon as the main power supply is restored, the controller will switch back to the main power supply.
The tracker can be setup to send a low voltage notication via SMS to a preset telephone
number, if the backup supply voltage falls below 11 V.
It should be note, that the AutoGRAPH-GSM is not equipped with the battery charger.

Connection of Digital Inputs 1...4 (active low)
The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller has four active low digital inputs: two inputs - on primary
interface connector (pin 3, pin 7), two inputs – on additional 4-pin interface connector (pin 9, pin 11).
Active low digital input has two states:
logical «1» , when the input is connected to the supply voltage or open-circuit. logical «0» , when the input connected to the ground. This state is considered to be active.
The input is able to show change of the input state, count pulses and measure frequency and is intended for connection to various dry contact sensors. Ensure that the sensors are in good order and able to maintain reliable operation. The manufacturer shall not bear any responsibility for correct state recording of these sensors (chatter, loss of contact and etc.).
It should be noted that all voltage levels of active low digital inputs under 5 V shall be considered to be logical ‘0’, while all voltage levels above 6 V shall be considered to be logical «1» . If the input is disconnected it shall denote logical «1» .
It is convenient to connect the active low digital input to an emergency oil pressure relief sensor to control the engine performance. In this case, the AutoGRAPH dispatch software shall enable metering of engine hours and application of various lters related to the engine’s operating time. For example, «Skip the coordinates» lter when the engine is shut down reduces trac and lters coordinate drift at stops when the engine is not running.

Sometimes, it is necessary to integrate the controller’s digital input into a circuit with an inductive load, such as a relay winding, solenoid valve or any other device that has an inductance coil. When an inductive load is being disconnected, stored current must be dissipated, this causes a self-induced electromotive force of inversed polarity (back EMF) that may damage the controller. To prevent this, use one of the following protection options if an inductive load is being applied

Connection of Analogue Inputs
The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller has two 10-bit analogue inputs: pin 4 and pin 8 on the
primary interface connector. The analogue inputs allow measurement of voltage levels from devices with an analogue voltage level output, i.e. signals from an analogue fuel level sensor.
The measuring range of the rst analogue input (pin 4) is 0 to 10 V which is converted to a gure between 0-1023.
The measuring range of the second analogue input (pin 8) is 0 to 24 V (but not more than
supply voltage) which is converted to a gure between 0-1023. The input resistance of the analogue inputs is 1 mega-ohm (1MΩ). The analogue readings are smoothed using the moving average method with a congurable
averaging window.
The cut-off frequency of the input low-pass lter is 1600 Hz.
The analogue inputs of the controller can be used as active high digital inputs with a
congurable switching threshold: analogue input 1 can be set up as digital input 5; analogue
input 2 can be set up as digital input 6. The operational properties of the analogue inputs can
be specied using the GSMConf conguration program or remotely, using the control SMS
commands. When the analogue input is used as a digital input, it is considered to be open-circuit in the case of a logical «0» and a voltage below 6 V. In digital mode, the input operates both as digital input and as analogue input. Along with the current logical state, voltage level on the
input is measured and recorded into the FLASH memory at the specied intervals.
The maximum frequency of the impulse signal on an analogue input in Pulse Counter mode
is 500 Hz.
Connection Diagrams of analogue inputs in digital mode is given in «Connection of Digital Inputs 7..8 (active high)» section.

Most analogue sensors are connected to the –Vin line of the vehicle power system. So, if the –Vin line is disconnected (e.g., by a disconnecting switch), the state of the analogue input will be undened and analogue readings will not be considered to be valid. Therefore, if the tracker is connected to the vehicle power system via a disconnecting switch, it is highly recommended to connect the analogue sensors via a relay.
It is recommended to use a relay intended to switch dc circuits and with operating voltage equal to voltage of vehicle power system. For example, 901.3747 relay, designed by AVAR Corp. (www.ellink.ru/co/avar) for 24 V vehicle network.

RS-485 (TIA / EIA-485-A)
General Block Diagram of Connection of External Devices to RS-485 Bus:
The AutoGRAPH-GSM controller is equipped with two RS-485 (TIA/EIA-485-A) interfaces.
RS-485 is one of the most commonly used industrial standards of communication. A network based on an RS-485 interface consists of transceivers connected with twisted pair wires. All
devices are connected to one twisted pair in the same manner: non-inverting outputs (A) to
one wire and inverting outputs (B) to another wire. The controller allows up to 16 devices to be connected simultaneously to one RS-485 bus. There are many sensors, interfaces and expansion modules that are compatible with
the tracker’s rmware. Amongst such devices are: fuel level sensors (up to 8 sensors simultaneously), passenger trafc metering system, input expander, display for messaging with a vehicle driver, AutoGRAPH-CR device, temperature sensors which support MODBUS
protocol, etc. The additional RS-485-2 bus is intended for connecting photo cameras to the controller. Interaction with photo cameras is supported by controllers equipped with additional memory. The AutoGRAPH-GSM stores photos in an external microSD card.

Connection of Backup Battery
To avoid the AutoGRAPH-GSM+ controller turning off, if the main power supply shuts down, the power supply driver supports connection of a rechargeable backup battery.
As a backup battery, the tracker uses a lead/acid rechargeable battery of 12 V and 1.2 to 2 Ah capacity. The AutoGRAPH-GSM+ has a built-in charger to charge the backup battery. The charger turns on automatically and limits the charging current to 75 mA.
If the backup battery voltage drops below 11 V, the tracker will send a low battery notication to specied number by SMS.
Switching between the main power supply and the backup power supply is performed automatically. If the main power supply turns off, the tracker switches to the backup power supply. As soon as the main power supply is restored, the controller will switch back to the main power supply.
Connection Diagram of backup battery
The manufacturer recommends using small package lead/acid DT12012 or BPL2-12 batteries and another battery with capacity not more than 2Ah as a backup power supply. Example of
lead/acid battery is given on the gure.

Audio Interface
The AutoGRAPH-GSM+ controller is equipped with an audio interface that provides two-way communication between a driver and a dispatcher. The audio interface consists of an input for connecting a microphone, an output for connecting a loudspeaker and an input for connecting an Answer/Call button. The audio interface is on the additional 4-pin audio interface connector.
In order to be able to receive an incoming call and to make a dialed call, a GS-2 type loudspeaker, designed by TechnoKom Ltd, should be connected to the controller. The loudspeaker with built-in Answer/Call button should be connected to the 4-pin audio interface connector. The AutoGRAPH-GSM+ is equipped with an
audio amplier, which multiplies the output
signal to the loudspeaker 2.65 times.
Receiving an incoming voice call
An incoming call is indicated by producing a ringtone on the loudspeaker. To answer the call, press and hold Answer/ Call button on the loudspeaker for 1-2 seconds. A second press on Answer/Call button ends the call.
Making a dialed call
To make a dialed call, press and hold Answer/Call button on the loudspeaker for 1-2 seconds.
The tracker starts to dial to the rst telephone
number, stored in the controllers memory. If
the rst number is not available, the controller
will dial the second preset number. The tracker will try to call all preset numbers in order, until one of the numbers answers the call. If no calls are answered, the tracker will
loop back to the rst number and continue
the dialling process until a call is answered.
A second press on the button ends the call.
Digital input 1 of the controller can be used for indicating an incoming call using an LED, or a sound device, connected to this input. Call indication on digital input 1 should be set up using the GSMConf program or a control command. The tracker can be set up to answer the call automatically or by pressing the Answer/Call button on the loudspeaker. The tracker automatically answers the calls from telephone numbers, that the auto answer is enabled for in the tracker’ settings. To answer calls from other telephone numbers, press the Answer/Call button.
A press on Answer/Call button must be 1-2 seconds long. A short press won’t be processed.
IMPORTANT
It takes about 30 hours to charge fully discharged 2 Amh capacity battery. So the presented diagram is not applicable in case of frequently shutdowns of main power supply.

Indication of Operation
The AutoGRAPH-GSM has four LEDs arranged on the front side of the tracker and intended to indicate the tracker operation.
• Bi-colour COMM LED (red / blue) indicates operation of GSM modem.
• STATUS LED1 (green) indicates a state of position acquisition.
• STATUS LED2 (orange) indicates GSM state of data transmission.
• Bi-colour NAV LED (red / green). The LED indicates the GPS/GLONASS receiver mode.
If «GLONASS only» mode is set up, the LED will ash red. If «GPS (NAVSTAR) only» mode or combined GPS / GLONASS mode is set up, the LED will ash red and green
simultaneously.
Before turning on the AutoGRAPH-GSM, connect GPS / GLONASS and GSM antennas to the tracker.

• Power the tracker up.
• Wait until the tracker acquires the position and connects to a GSM. In normal mode, the
COMM LED ashes red every 3 seconds, STATUS LED2 is constantly ON, NAV LED ashes once a second. The NAV LED ashing colour depends on GPS / GLONASS receiver mode.
• Starting time takes approximately 23 seconds. If the tracker does not start for a long time, verify compliance with the operating conditions.
Indication of GPS / GLONASS Module Operation:
• When powering up both STATUS LED1 and NAV LED light up and go out after one second.
• Upon normal operation, the NAV LED ashes once a second. The STATUS LED1 is constantly green after positioning of the vehicle and goes out upon loss of signal from satellites.
Indication of GSM Module Operation:
• Searching for a network – the COMM LED ashes red once a second.
• When transferring data to a server - the STATUS LED2 is constantly ON.
• Error of data transmission - the STATUS LED2 ashes twice a second.
• When connecting to GPRS - the STATUS LED2 ashes once per two seconds.
• Normal connection to GSM network – the COMM LED ashes red once every three seconds.
• Switching off or fault of GSM module – the COMM LED is OFF.
Error Indication:
The NAV LED and the STATUS LED1 can be used for indication of the tracker’s errors. When an error is detected, the NAV LED lights up in red, the STATUS LED1 ashes green several times, after that the NAV LED goes out. Number of ashings of the STATUS LED1 determines
an error code.
