  • Page 10: First-Time Setting

    285 – User guide 7. First-time setting The cGuard trackers can be configured by using official application – cGuard Configurator. This program allows to set tracker’s parameters for GPS/GLONASS monitoring and also to tune the data exchange and analysis to work with data from tracker and external devices.
  • Page 11 Configurator shows the channel data values in real time, allows turning on/off data sending from each channel and setting the sending conditions. The list of available channels of cGuard 285 is shown in the table 2. The correspondence between channels and inputs can be seen in table 3.

  • Page 13: Remote Configuration

    7.2 Remote configuration There are two data channels for remote configuration:   GPRS The remote configuration guide and the list of available commands can be downloaded from our website. GPRS configuration allows customizing device parameters and uploading device firmware. SMS-commands can change device parameters and make requests for device status and location.

    285 – User guide 8. Connecting the automobile cGuard tracker 8.1. Inserting a SIM-card Tracker sends data to server by using GSM net, so it needs a SIM-card. To insert the SIM-card follow these instructions: 1. Push the SIM-card removing button by some thin object (clip or toothpick) and remove the Sim-card holder.

    285 – User guide 8.2. GPS/GLONASS-antenna installing  While paving the antenna’s wire avoid sharp objects and razor-edges of metal details.  Any changes made to antenna’s wire (changing, increasing, etc) are forbidden.  Antenna and antenna’s wire and connectors should not be short to ground, it will cause the failure of a tracker and lead to an expensive repairs.
  • Page 16 285 – User guide Pic.6. Connecting the main power to the X1 connector after the ground switch scheme There is also the ability to connect the device straight to the accumulator, bypassing the ground switch. In this case it’s recommended to put the 2A fuse on minimal distance from the point where the tracker is connected to main power.
  • Page 17: Connecting The Analog Inputs Of Tracker

    285 – User guide In case when the tracker is connected straight to the battery, bypassing the ground switch, it’s not recommended for the vehicle to have long-time downtimes (more than 3 days). When doing the electric welding on the automobile, or when the engine is starting by the external current source the tracker must be disconnected from automobile board mains! Otherwise the device can break down.
  • Page 18 285 – User guide In case analog input is used for detecting the automobile ignition, use the following schemes.  If there’s a plus-circuit splitter in the automobile, use the scheme from pic. 9 to detect the ignition. Pic.9.Ignition detecting in plus circuit ...
  • Page 19: Connecting The Frequency/Pulse Inputs Of Tracker

    285 – User guide 8.6. Connecting the frequency/pulse inputs of tracker Tracker has 4 frequency/pulse inputs (DIN1.. DIN4), One of the working modes (frequency or pulse) can be chosen for each of them. Each of the 4 inputs can be configured individually.
  • Page 20: Connecting The Power Output Of The Tracker

    285 – User guide 8.7. Connecting the power output of the tracker Tracker has three or four power outputs (depending on hardware version). It can be used for controlling the external executive devices. Important! Maximum acceptable load voltage must not be higher than 30 V.
  • Page 21: Connecting Canlog To Rs-232 Interface

    Tracker supports CANLog models P145_20_xx/60. Scheme of connecting it to tracker is on pic. 14: Pic.14. Connecting CANLog to cGuard 285 CANLog data is shown in CLG1..CLG8 channels. The data set is determined by prefixes in channel parameters – CLG1:PREFIX etc. Supported prefixes and the corresponding type of data are in table 5.

  • Page 23 285 – User guide The default settings for the channels are: CLG1 – prefix S; CLG2 – prefix C – full mileage; CLG3 – prefix G – fuel level; CLG4 – prefix J – vehicle speed; CLG5 – prefix H – engine speed;...
  • Page 24: Device Status Indication

    285 – User guide 9. Device status indication There are two status LEDs on a tracker: SAT and DAT (pic.15). Pic.15.LED indication SAT indicator SAT LED indicates the positioning status (GPS/GLONASS satellites). When power is connected appropriately, LEDs light and go out twice in order from SAT to DAT: it signals that work started successfully.
