MiniFinder Protocol GPS Trackers: Technical Setup Guide
The MiniFinder protocol, operating on Port 5062, powers a wide range of personal and vehicle trackers. This guide provides the essential SMS commands and hardware wiring needed for professional deployment.
1. Device Comparison & Use Cases
| Model Series | Application | Key Protocol Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Pico / Atto | Personal/Pet | Low Power Consumption |
| EV-07 (P/S/W) | Healthcare/Elderly | Two-way Voice & Fall Alerts |
| EV-60x / TE-207 | Vehicle/Asset | Ignition & Fuel Cut Support |
2. SMS Configuration Commands
To connect these devices to your server, send the following SMS commands (default password is usually 123456):
# Set IP and Port (Port 5062)
IP,123456,192.168.1.1,5062#
# Set APN (Replace with your provider info)
APN,123456,internet,user,pass#
# Set Upload Interval (e.g., 30 seconds)
TIMER,123456,30#

TIMER,123456,30#
3. Technical Wiring Diagrams (Vehicle Models)
For hardwired models like the EV-601 and TE-207, follow this standard pinout:
Standard 4-Wire Interface:
- ● Red: Power (+) 9V-36V DC
- ● Black: Ground (-)
- ● Orange: ACC / Ignition Sense (Connect to switched power)
- ● Yellow: Relay Control (Fuel/Power cut-off circuit)
Note: Always use a fuse (3A) on the Red wire to prevent hardware damage.
4. Troubleshooting Port 5062
- Hex Data: Ensure your server listener is set to parse HEX strings, as MiniFinder protocol is binary-based.
- IMEI ID: The protocol usually identifies devices by a 15-digit IMEI. Ensure this is registered correctly in your database.
- LED Indicators: A solid Blue light usually indicates a GPS fix, while a rapidly flashing Green light indicates GPRS connection status.
For advanced SaR-mini or GPS668 configurations, consult the specific firmware version manual as command syntax may vary slightly.
