MCOM VEHICLE
TRACKING SYSTEM
MANUAL
Vehicle Tracking System allows the Department to
track, trace and monitor their vehicles in real time
using GSM / GPRS technology. It sends the location
address, Ignition status, Fuel status, Battery Power
status and AC ON/OFF Status to a central server at
every 10 seconds . It also sends alerts to the
computer or to a mobile phone whenever an
exceptional event has occurred such as erratic vehicle
movements, excessive speeding ,changes in fuel level
etc.

 Our tracking devices may not be used to violate the privacy rights of others,
or in violation of local, county, state or federal statutes, and our company will not
be responsible for inappropriate use of these products.
 VTS is a device that uses the Global Positioning System to determine the
precise location of a vehicle, moving house, trailer or other asset in which VTS is
installed on and to record the position of the VTS regular intervals. With GPS
systems, it records not only position, but also velocity, Date time, direction,
status of digital output ports, etc.
 The main purpose of using VTS not only to locate the vehicles, but also to
obtain information about the status of doors, windows and ignition, etc. Or
remotely monitor cutting off gas and power supply, etc.
 Sometimes, if users want to upgrade the VTS version, then we will give users
new software firmware to update it. In this situation, please contact our service
center.
 In order to acquire more important details, you should pay much attention to
some signs and supplementary information, such as:

Note: Means you must pay much attention, it includes many important details
which you may overlook.

Caution: Warning information on relative topic, you should read it carefully, to

avoid unexpected loss.

More information: More relative information about a certain topic, sometimes it is

another easy way for the same purpose. And if some words are marked in red
color, that indicates the words should be paid much more attention.

FEATURE

 Vehicle Tracking system combines Internet technology, GPS and terrestrial

networks such as GSM / GPRS

• The device fitted in the vehicle has a built in GPS receiver determines the
vehicle location, traveling speed, direction etc.

• Device also send ignition on/off ,fuel ,AC to server.

• The device sends the data via GSM / GPRS wireless network to the Vehicle
Tracking Application

• If there is no network coverage, the data is stored locally and sends when the
network is established.

• If there is any one misbehave with device such as cutting power of device it
will provide alert of this with location for 10 hours on inbuilt battery supply.

• The GPS data sent by the device is stored in a secured database of Vehicle
Tracking application

• Managers can generate reports of travel distance, running duration ,stoppage

duration , fuel status , analyze data, replay the route travelled by the vehicle
on a map for efficient management of vehicles.
How vts communicate with the GPS satellite
Location information of the vehicle is received by the device from the GPS
Satellites. The device sends the location information through GPRS to Server.
The Control Center receives the location information, processes data and
provides information. The control station software plots the vehicle’s location on
the map. The infrastructure enables communication to vehicle in Real Time.

1. GPS 2. SERVER 3. GPRS 4. GSM 5. POWER

 First led (GREEN) indicate the GPS data from the satellite if led blinks then
the GPS data is coming from the satellite and if it is stable then the VTS
module is still searching for the GPS data.
 Second led (RED) indicates the connectivity of VTS module with the server .If
led glows then connection between VTS & Server is successfully established
otherwise connection is unsuccessful.
 Third led (YELLOW) indicate the GPRS connection status. If led glows then
GPRS connection is active otherwise not active.
 Fourth led (GREEN) indicate the GSM coverage. If led blinks at fast rate then
the GSM signal strength is weak and if it blinks slow then signal strength is
good.
 Fifth led (YELLOW) indicate the power supply to the VTS.

Power supply:

1) The standard electric supply of this system is ranges from +12V to +30V DC
voltage, with the red wires indicates positive and black wire negative. Do not
make the positive wire (Red) use together with the following device:

 Storage battery
2) The Negative wire (Black) has to connect to the ground (negative terminal of
battery). Do not connect it with other ground reference.
Installation Guide:
STEP1: Insert a SIM CARD
Note: Before inserting SIM card into VTS card holder, please make sure that SIM
card is able to connect internet.

Step2: Connect GSM Antenna and GPS Antenna to VTS unit.

(1) Fasten the connection by turning the metal end of the antenna, until the
connection is very firm.

Note: You’d better put GPS antenna top to the open sky, out of the car to get GPS
signal, or make sure that it will not be covered or shielded by any electromagnetic
object.

More information: VTS relies on GSM and GPS system for location and
communication, so we must make sure that GSM signal and GPS signal are in
good state.

● GSM is the abbreviation of Global System for Mobile Communication. At

first, you should insert a sim card into the VTS, In virtue of GSM system.

● GPRS is General Packet Radio Service, is a service technique based on GSM,

by virtue of the service, the VTS can communicate with a Server.

● GPS is the abbreviation of Global Positioning System. There are 24 positioning

satellites around the earth sending GPS signal to the VTS. In order to receive signal,
the top of GPS antenna cannot be shielded or covered by any electromagnetic object. The
user should bring the top of GPS antenna to the open air for better GPS signal. If VTS is in
a shielding environment temporary, please don't worry, because once the VTS leaves the
shielding environment, it will regain GPS signal.

Step 3: Fix the VTS in your car and connect the VTS to the power of your car
battery.

Caution: After you have completed all the process, we must check that the wiring
connections are correct and firm and the joints are wrapped with insulating tape tightly.
