Installing a GPYes Pulse Hardwired GPS Tracker

The GPYes Pulse tracking device is a monitoring device that connects to your vehicle through the OBDII port or via the vehicles wiring harness.

The device obtains location data from GPS towers, stores it within on-board memory and then sends it to the GPYes tracking server over the mobile network.
Users can then log into the GPYes Tracking Portal to view their device and other vehicle statistics.

This device is can be used in many vehicles, assets and applications, as long as the host device provides a voltage that is compatible with the tracker.

Device Overview

GPYes Pulse inputs and outputs explained.

SIM Card Installation

The SIM card is located on the PCB which is protected by the metal chassis.

Ensure that the device is not powered on during this SIM card installation process.

Remove the 4x screws from the face plate, and pull out the PCB.

Unclip the SIM card holder and insert the SIM card as pictured below.

Slide the PCB back into the chassis, mount the face plate and fasten the screws.

Plug in all cabling.

Plug in the wiring loom(s), GPS & Mobile Network (GSM) antennas.
Please note that the GPS & GSM antennas are labelled and must screw into their respective ports.

Install device into vehicle.

Option A.) With OBD Connector

Whilst your vehicle is switched off, plug the OBD connector which is attached to the 8pin wiring loom into the OBD port of your vehicle and mount the tracker within your dashboard.

Option B.) Without OBD Connector

If you don’t want to use the OBD connector, or your device did not come with one, and wish to completely hide the tracker, you can cut the OBD connector off, and wire the device in.

Wiring for power and ground. Note: Additional inputs and RS232 are not yet supported. As such, only power and ground is shown above.

Route the cabling

Route the GPS & Mobile Network antennas up through the dashboard and mount them to the underside of the dashboard surface.

Turn on vehicle

Turn car on and allow to sit for 1 minute before moving. This is to ensure that GPS signal is located and a lock is made.
Without this 1 minute wait before driving the vehicle, the tracker may not be able to report your location correctly for 2-5 minutes.

Installation Complete

You should now be able to see the location of your vehicle within the GPYes Tracking Portal.
