DQ75 Quick start Guide

General Description

The DQ75 is a compact tracking device with built-in GPS & GSM antennas. It has a waterproof (IP67) case which

houses an 1100 mAh Li-polymer back-up battery. Standby time without reporting is 280 hours, with 175 hours

at 10-minute tracking intervals. Its main application is tracking vehicles, trailers, boats & other assets using the

online software. For anti-theft applications, the unit can be mounted on any flat surface facing the sky. Internal

placement is possible inside cabins, equipment consoles and boat lockers, providing the internal GPS antennas

are not blocked by large metallic surfaces. In each case it is best to test the unit in place fixed temporarily with

Velcro or similar on a short journey before connecting the power cable. More permanent fixing of the housing

can be made using the screw fixing lug, 'VHB' adhesive tape or cable ties. Ensure that the power cables are

routed away from moving parts, and the serial number label is on the base, with the blank cover facing the sky.

DQ75 is supplied with an 8-Pin Molex connector which is used for configuration, plus an extension lead with

bare ends. The Molex can be cut off to connect the wires directly, or plugged to the cable extension. Use

waterproof tape or shrink-wrap sleeves if installing in a wet environment, such as boats or Jetskis.

Connect an 8-32 VDC external power source with Red (+) positive and Black (-) ground connections. This will

switch on the device & charge the internal battery.

Ignition An additional positive ignition wire (White) can be connected to indicate engine status. This is used to log accumulated ‘engine hours’ for service intervals & maintenance purposes. The ignition signal creates trip start/stop indications. Note that even if the ignition wire is not connected, the device map label will still indicate ignition ‘active’...

If travelling in a straight line at a constant speed, the tracking interval will be between 1-3 minutes. However, when the angle of movement (heading) or speed change, then more frequent reports will be sent to show a more accurate track on the map.
Page 4 Cellular coverage & International roaming If there is no cellular coverage during part of a journey, DQ75 will store the GPS co-ordinates & forward them when it re-enters a network, so no trip data is lost. The roaming process is completely automatic, whether...
