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.
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 Litom is shown in the table 2. The correspondence between channels and inputs can be seen in table 3.
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. DIN marking was indicated on trackers cGuard Litom, manufactured earlier than September 2017.
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. Remove the back cover of tracker’s case by removing two fixing screws.
8.2. Power connection Before connection the power to the tracker get sure that the mains voltage fits the acceptable range (see the section “Specifications”) Plug in the connector with the crimped wires to the X1 connector in the tracker, to connect the GND contact to the wire of the main power, and PWR contact to the plus wire of the main power.

To prevent the intervention to device’s work and intentional damage it is recommended to seal up the connectors, terminal blocks and the case of the tracker after its installation. After the installation and connection the device is ready to work. If it was connected appropriately, it starts the work automatically.
8.3. Connecting the analog sensors to tracker Tracker has two analog inputs (AIN1 and AIN2) available in the interface connector X1. These inputs can be used for measuring the direct current voltage in range 0..30 V. Analog inputs can be used for measuring the vehicle parameters with value proportional to the voltage level (ex.
Pic.7.DIN channel setting in configurator 8.4. Connecting contact sensors (buttons) To connect a contact sensor (button) to tracker use one of the following ways – closing to a common ground or to a common plus (vehicle mains) (both cases use analog input, schemes illustrate it on example of AIN1): Pic.8.
Pic.9. Connecting button to analog input closing to common mains To use this kind of sensors set up the DIN channel in configurator (with same number as used input) (see pic.7). 8.5. Ignition detecting To detect the automobile ignition also use analog input, connected by the following schemes: ...
Pic.11.Ignition detecting in minus circuit To detect the automobile ignition it is recommended to use the DIN channel with parameter TLD set to value 8 (see pic. 7). It is acceptable to use the AIN channel instead, but in this case the threshold must be set in virtual ignition sensor in monitoring system.

To connect a device with “open collector” output it is necessary to add a resistor 2..10 KΩ (depending on acceptable output amperage) by the pic.13 scheme: Pic.13. Connecting the “open collector” output device To connect a device with optocoupled output use the following scheme (pic.14). It is recommended to add a resistor to a optron collector’s circuit (resistor’s parameters are the same as in previous kind of conection).

External sensors must be serviceable and provide dependable work. Otherwise, manufacturer isn’t responsible for right sensor status registration (losing the contact etc.). To work with sensor data set up the corresponding channel in configurator (as seen in Channel setting in configurator): ...
8.7. Connecting the power output of the tracker Tracker has one power output (DOUT contact). It can be used for controlling the external executive devices. Important! Maximum acceptable load voltage must not be higher than 30 V. Maximal acceptable amperage - 1 А. Typical load connection scheme (pic.
8.8. Connecting devices to RS-485 interface Tracker has an ability to read data from digital sensors by RS-485 interface (those that work by LLS protocol). This interface allows connecting several sensors simultaneously. Typical scheme of connecting devices to this interface is on pic. 17: Pic.17.Connecting devices to RS-485 interface Data from sensors connected by this interface is shown in channels LLS1..LLS12.
8.9 Connecting devices to 1-Wire interface 1-Wire allows to work with DS18B20 temperature sensors and iButton electronic identifiers. There’s an ability to work with DS18B20 only in parasitic power mode. Connection is shown on scheme: Pic.19 Connecting temperature sensor to tracker 1-Wire input It is possible to connect three sensors at the same time.

9. Device status indication There are two status LEDs on a tracker: SAT and DAT. 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.
