WARRANTY Complete Warranty details can be found at the CES Wireless web site: www.ceswireless.com CES Wireless Technologies Corp., (CES Wireless), warrants this product to be free from defects in material and workmanship for 12 months from date of shipment. If such malfunction occurs, it will be repaired or replaced (at our option) without charge for materials or labor if returned to the factory.
1.0 Introduction The GPS-205 is one of the smallest and most economical GPS asset tracking devices available today. It is a ruggedized unit, with aluminum extrusion and end caps, affording some protection for environmental elements. This device is neither weather, dust or splash proof. GPS and event data is made available on-board the GPS-205 for transmission to FleetLinc (CES web based subscriber fleet management service). The GPS-205 can also be licensed for use with POWER-trak™ PC/Server software.
Back View: On the back of the GPS-205 are 3 connectors. On the left is the GPS Antenna connector (SMA style connector). In the middle is the 12-Pin I/O connector (described in detail later in this manual). On the right is the Cellular Antenna (TNC style connector). 2.0 Specifications Note: Specifications subject to change without notice. 2.1 System Information Dimensions Weight Housing: TX Power: Frequency: 2.2 GPRS Packet Data Mode: Protocol: Coding Schemes: Packet Channel: 2.

To install the GPS-205 in a vehicle follow these steps: Choose a convenient location in the vehicle – either in the trunk or interior of a vehicle.
3.1 Mounting Dimensions GPS-205 Figure 1: Mounting dimensions of a GPS-205 (shown with mounting plate) The bracket should be used as a template to mark screw holes for installation. See Figure 2 – GPS-205 Mounting Brackets. The mounting holes are designed for a number 10 screw. Once mounting holes have been located for placement, the mounting plate can be easily broken into two parts as demonstrated in Figure 3 - GPS-205 Mounting Bracket (separated).

Do not create sharp bends, loops or crimps in the cables. Attach all cables to the vehicle and equipment in such a way as to reduce stress or wear caused by the vibration generated by moving vehicles. Properly terminate all power cables.
3.2.1 HRNS-56 - 12-Pin I/O Connector HRNS-56 is a 12-Pin external I/O connector and cable. This connector provides power and can be used to interface the GPS-205 with other devices. There is also a special tool for this connector which facilitates the addition of extra wires. (CES P/N: CON187T). CES Wireless Technologies can also provide optional cables with connectors. The part numbers vary with the cable’s intended use.
3.4 Connecting the GSM/GPRS and GPS Antenna The GSM/GPRS/GPS combo Antenna is available from CES Wireless Technologies in three versions: magnetic mount, through-hole or loose/covert.
Power to the GPS-205 can be supplied in three different methods, depending upon the application. GPS-205 Always ON Connect the power and ground wires of the GPS-205 to the battery leads. The GPS-205 will always remain ON as long as the battery lasts. The GPS-205 will be non-operational when the input voltage and current requirements are not met (battery drains). The Ignition wire has to be left open (not connected).

Appendix 2 – Troubleshooting All the troubleshooting steps require the GPS205S to be in “Manual Mode”. To enable this mode select the Program menu and select “Mode – Manual”. If this selection is not shown the software is in this mode already. The software can return to automatic mode by selecting the Program menu and then selecting “Mode – Auto”. A2.1 Verifying the GPS205 has Established a GSM Connection To verify that the GPS205 has established a GSM connection follow these steps.
