The Locator 690s (IDU-403) is a compact, professional GPS tracker and GNSS data logger engineered for reliable fleet management and IoT deployments. Plaspy compatible out of the box, the Locator 690s combines GPS/GLONASS positioning, A‑GPS/Cell Locate, and robust cellular communications so fleet operators get real-time tracking, telemetry and event reporting that integrates smoothly with Plaspy dashboards and mobile apps.
Designed as a mini GNSS data collector for vehicles, the Locator 690s delivers per-second odometer calculation, a built-in G‑sensor for driving event detection, battery voltage monitoring and vehicle fault reporting. Its small form factor and durable operating range make it ideal for logistics, transportation and temperature-sensitive cargo workflows when paired with Plaspy’s reporting and alerting tools.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for reliable real-time tracking and fleet management integration.
- Dual GNSS reception (GPS + GLONASS) with A‑GPS/Cell Locate for faster, more accurate fixes.
- 3G/4G cellular connectivity with TCP/UDP/HTTP/FTP/SMS protocols for flexible telemetry delivery.
- Onboard intelligence: per-second odometer, G‑sensor for acceleration/braking/cornering/impact events, and vehicle fault detection.
- Local data storage (~30,000 records / 4 MB) ensures no-data-loss during poor network conditions; auto-upload when connectivity returns.
- Low-power vehicle operation across 8–33 V DC with conservative standby current for continuous fleet monitoring.
- Compact, lightweight design (44 × 62 × 15 mm, 37 g) for discreet installation in vehicles and asset tracking use.
How It Works with Plaspy
The Locator 690s streams position and telemetry to Plaspy using standard transport protocols. Plaspy ingests GPS/GLONASS fixes, vehicle telemetry and event records to deliver live maps, route playback, alerting and reports that support safety and operational efficiency. The device’s flexible transport options and local storage mean data flow stays consistent even across variable network conditions.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates (GPS + GLONASS, A‑GPS/Cell Locate) for live tracking and route playback.
- Driving event alerts from the G‑sensor: acceleration, braking, cornering and impact notifications forwarded to Plaspy.
- Per‑second odometer and mileage reporting for accurate fleet usage and maintenance planning.
- Battery voltage monitoring and low-battery alerts delivered to Plaspy for proactive vehicle health checks.
- SOS input events and vehicle fault reports transmitted to Plaspy for incident response and diagnostics.
- Local buffer storage (≈30,000 records) that auto-uploads when network quality improves to preserve telemetry continuity.
- Multiple backend transport options (TCP/UDP/HTTP/FTP/SMS) for straightforward Plaspy integration and redundancy.
