CanTrack - TK08AL

The TK08AL is a 4G hard-wired car GPS tracker designed for reliable vehicle security and driver management. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the TK08AL delivers real-time tracking, movement and ignition detection, SOS and speeding alerts, and power-cut protection with an internal backup battery — making it a practical choice for fleet management, anti-theft and driver authorization workflows.

Built around a SIMCom LTE Cat 1 module, the TK08AL combines robust GNSS performance with wide network support and configurable behaviors (sleep modes, angle-change updates, and data buffering) to keep telemetry flowing even in challenging conditions. Its built-in RFID driver identification and support for optional relay-based immobilizer functions let operators enforce authorized-driver policies while integrating location data and vehicle events into Plaspy for operational visibility.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible for real-time tracking and centralized fleet management across vehicles and assets.
• Driver authorization with built-in RFID support and RS485 interface for external RFID readers to prevent unauthorized use.
• Reliable telemetry delivery via LTE Cat 1 + fallback GSM/GPRS, ensuring consistent data updates and alerts.
• Anti-theft and remote disable capability using optional fuel/electricity relay for immobilizer-style control.
• Internal 200 mAh backup battery and power-cut alarm to detect tampering and provide short-term operation during outage.
• Local data buffering (up to 2000 records) and angle-change triggered location updates to maintain location history when connectivity is interrupted.
• Low-power standby and configurable sleep behavior to support diverse vehicle types from cars to e-bikes with 9–90 VDC input range.

How It Works with Plaspy

The TK08AL streams vehicle location and event telemetry to Plaspy using standard GT-class protocols over LTE or GPRS. Once integrated, Plaspy ingests GPS positions, ignition/movement events, SOS triggers, speeding alerts, and power-cut alarms so fleet managers and administrators can monitor status, receive alerts, and generate reports from a single platform.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates via LTE Cat 1; automatic fallback to GSM/GPRS where necessary.
• Movement and ignition detection for live status and trip segmentation in Plaspy dashboards.
• Driver identification events from built-in RFID support or an external RFID reader connected over RS485 for authorized-driver logs.
• Power-cut alarm and internal backup battery reporting to detect tampering and support short-term operations during outages.
• Optional immobilizer/disable relay control (fuel/electricity relay) can be used through configured workflows in Plaspy for anti-theft response.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet anti-theft and immobilization: detect unauthorized movement, receive power-cut alarms, and remotely disable fuel or power using an optional relay.
• Driver authorization and compliance: enforce who can operate vehicles with RFID driver identification and record driver events in Plaspy for audits.
• Logistics and municipal vehicle tracking: real-time tracking and telemetry for route optimization, duty monitoring, and maintenance scheduling.
• Multi-vehicle deployments including cars, motorcycles, and e-bikes: wide 9–90 VDC input and low standby consumption make TK08AL suitable across mixed fleets.
• Remote telemetry buffering for intermittent coverage: local storage of up to 2000 records and angle-change triggered updates keep history intact until connectivity restores.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

Pairing the TK08AL with Plaspy gives fleet operators a practical, security-focused solution that blends accurate GPS positioning and robust LTE/GSM connectivity with driver-level controls. The TK08AL’s RFID-based driver ID, RS485 interface, and optional relay disable capability help enforce authorized access and deliver strong anti-theft workflows. With configurable sleep modes, onboard buffering, and a small backup battery, the tracker maintains telemetry continuity and rapid alerts for SOS, speeding, ignition and power-cut events.

Operational benefits include streamlined telemetry in Plaspy for fleet management, actionable alerts for anti-theft response, and remote maintenance via FOTA and USB configuration. Whether you need real-time tracking, ignition and movement monitoring, fuel monitoring workflows through optional relays, or integration of additional sensor streams (Plaspy can consolidate telemetry from multiple sources alongside TK08AL data), this device offers a compact, adaptable platform for secure, scalable deployments.
