1. Introduction
GL200 is a powerful GPS locator which is designed for vehicle, pets and assets tracking. With
superior receiving sensitivity, fast TTFF and GSM frequencies 850/900/1800/1900. Its location
can be real time or schedule tracked by backend server or specified terminals. Based on the
embedded @Track protocol, GL200 can communicate with the backend server through
GPRS/GSM network, and transfer reports of emergency, Geo-fencing, device status and scheduled
GPS position etc Service provider is easy to setup their tracking platform based on the
functional @Track protocol.

The Pin 8 on Mini-USB connector is for external battery and named as EXTBAT pin, It can be
connected to 3.7V Li-ion or Li-Polymer battery to power GL200.
The Pin 7 on Mini-USB connector is for ignition detection when GL200 is used in vehicle
tracking application, It is named as IGN_IND pin.

Another easy way is to connect PIN7 to a power output in the fuse box of the vehicle which is
only enabled after the vehicle is ignition on. For example: the power output for radio FM.
The older hardware version of the GL200 whose IMEI code is between 35946403600001X(ignore
the last one parity bit X) and 35946403607338X do not support the input function ,before using the
input function ,you should check if the GL200 is a newer hardware version.
The Pin 5 on Mini-USB connector is a negative trigger input in newer hardware version, It is
named as NSW pin.

the output function ,you should check if the GL200 is a newer hardware version.
The Pin 9 on Mini-USB connector is a negative trigger output in newer hardware version, It is
named as OUT pin.
The output is Open-Drain type with no internal pull-up resistor which also can be used to
control a relay. It means that the user has to connect a pull-up resistor or a relay coil between the
Output pin and any positive voltage (32V max.) to generate a correct output.. It can drive a
maxim continuous current of 0.15A.
For negative trigger output the electrical conditions are:

<0.4V, max current is 0.15A

Example of OUT pin drive a LED
If the digital output is used to drive a relay, a catch diode is showed across the relay coil, this is
necessary to prevent damage to the digital output when the relay is turned off. Many modern relays
come with this diode pre-installed internal to the relay itself. If the relay has this diode, insure the
proper relay polarity connected is used. If this diode is not internal, it should be added externally. A
common diode such as a 1N4004 will work in most circumstances.

If the IMEI code of the GL200 is between 35946403600001X (ignore the last one parity bit X)
and 35946403607338X, the green wire and yellow wire of the external cable should not be used.
Some earlier external cables contains only four wires, the earlier external cables can only be used
in the older hardware version of GL200.

Please install the GL200 into the holder follow the following process.
Turn on:
Method 1: Press the Power key at least 3 seconds and release it to turn on GL200. At
the same time, PWR LED will light on.
Method 2: Connect device to charger or external battery, and it will turn on
automatically, PWR LED will light on.
Turn off:
Method 1: Press the power key about 2 seconds; PWR LED will fast flash and then turn
off, it indicates that GL200 is turned off. The time of power off is depended on the
quality of network. The maximum time of power off is 90 seconds. It is only valid to
turn off when using internal battery. Please note the end-user can not power off GL200
when the power key is disabled by protocol.
Method 2: If using external battery, device will power turn-off when external battery
disconnect.
