A300 USER GUIDE
1 Product Overview
A300 is an advanced model which is suitable for fleet management, public transportation management, school bus management, taxi operation management, vehicle insurance company management, rent car management and private car antitheft, etc. A300 supports RS232 and 1-
Wire protocol, this enables A300 to have powerful functions such as taking pictures, driver identification and management, impulse detection and temperature monitoring.
Besides the advanced functions, A300 has full functions to cover the normal demands of vehicle tracking. Not only has fuel monitoring, harsh acceleration/braking alarm, driving behavior analysis, but also has custom digital input, jamming detection, two-way calling and OTA functions. A300 uses own FIFOTRACK GPRS PROTOCOL which is simple and practical, this enables the customers to integrate on their own platform efficiently.

5 PCB Overview and Hardware Design
5.1 Hardware Design Highlight
Protection for sudden-change of auto power supply: When the vehicle starts or is running, the power voltage will have a wave of change. Our product supports voltage 11V-36V. When the external power supply is below 10.5V, with low voltage detection, it will be automatically cut. When external power supply is over 36V or has high voltage peak, the product will trigger high-voltage
Copyright © fifotrack 2015 All rights reserved 8
A300 USER GUIDE protection through clamping, anti-pulse, and high voltage detection. This ensures the product to operate normally under high voltage.
Auto power transient pulse: When the vehicle starts or is running, it will generate high-voltage transient pulse with a range of hundreds of volts. If the product’s circuit is not well designed, it is very easy to get damaged, and can’t be used. Through multistage transient pulse protection and anti high-voltage surge protection, the product’s power circuit is well protected, and it can operate stably.
Electromagnetic immunity: When the vehicle starts, the clock, RF, display screen and USB are very easy to be interfered by electric spark, which causes the product to operate unstably. Through PCB layout and ground wire handling, the product can work stably under interfered environment.
Anti static: The vehicle product’s working condition is complex. It is very easy to be influenced by static, which causes damage to the product’s peripheral interfaces. Through ESD protection on circuit and ground wire handling, the static in the range of 8KV-15KV won’t cause damage to product. This ensures the product’s stability under complex working condition.

8 First Use
8.1 Charging
First time use A300, please connect positive wire(+ Red) and ground wire(-black) to 12V or 24V external power supply, charging device at least 2 hours, 3 hours is suggested. Before installation, ensure all of the parameters setting and test are finished.
8.2 Installing the SIM Card
Device can’t support 3G or 4G network. Make sure the SIM card supports 2G.
Ensure the SIM card has enough balance.
Ensure PIN code has been closed.
Authorization SOS numbers can’t work well if SIM card doesn’t have caller ID service. E.g.:
SIM card should have GPRS function for platform tracking.
Turn off device before SIM card installation. device can’t reply SMS to authorization SOS number because SIM card can’t identify incoming call.
Screw off and open the front cover
Insert SIM card into SIM card slot
Make sure the chip is facing to PCB.
Pay attention to the cutaway angle direction of SIM card.
Close front cover and lock the screw

8.3 Installing GSM/GPS Antenna
Connect GSM Antenna to SMA connector with “GSM” silk. The GSM antenna’s signal is omnidirectional, you can hide it anywhere that is far from the power supply.
Connect GPS Antenna to SMA connector with “GPS” silk. GPS antenna should face to the sky for stronger GPS signal reception, and the silvery silk side should be downward. Fix GPS antenna with double sided tapes for stable signal reception.
Don’t install the GPS antenna where shielded by metal. For example, inside a metal can.
8.4 Tracking by Calling
Call the SIM card number inside A300, you will get a SMS reply with Google map link. Click it for specific map location.
