Navtelekom - START S-2012

The START S-2012 is a compact GLONASS/GPS vehicle tracker designed for permanent installation where a small form factor and dependable positioning matter. Plaspy compatible out of the box, START S-2012 pairs accurate GNSS positioning with GSM connectivity to deliver real-time tracking, basic telemetry and event reporting for cars, light commercial vehicles and other mobile assets.

Built without an internal battery for hardwired vehicle use, START S-2012 supports wired and wireless fuel level sensors, wireless universal and environmental sensors (temperature and humidity), Bluetooth sensors, and standard I/O for integration with on-board systems. Integration is streamlined using the manufacturer's NTC Configurator and DRC remote management tools; when paired with Plaspy, this tracker provides a compact, cost-effective solution for fleet management, anti-theft monitoring and fuel monitoring workflows.

Key Highlights

• Compact GLONASS/GPS tracker with integrated GNSS and GSM antennas for discreet, low-profile vehicle installation.
• Plaspy compatible — designed to forward real-time location and telemetry to Plaspy for tracking, alerts and reports.
• Supports wired and wireless fuel level sensors plus wireless universal/environmental sensors for fuel monitoring and temperature logging.
• Connectivity: 2G GSM modem with single SIM slot, USB Type-C and RS-485 for external device interfacing.
• Bluetooth 4.0 for connecting Bluetooth sensors and beacons to enrich telemetry data in Plaspy.
• Multiple inputs and one control output enable event-based reporting, basic remote control and integration with vehicle systems.
• Designed for permanent installation: no internal battery and power protection up to 200 V for stable operation in vehicle electrical systems.

How It Works with Plaspy

When integrated with Plaspy, the START S-2012 streams location and sensor data over the cellular network to the Plaspy platform where operators get real-time tracking, geofencing alerts, route history and telemetry dashboards. The tracker’s flexible I/O and Bluetooth sensor support let Plaspy receive vehicle status, fuel level readings and environmental conditions for richer reporting and actionable alerts.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates sent via the device’s GSM connection to Plaspy for live tracking and historical playback.
• Fuel monitoring from wired or wireless sensors delivered to Plaspy for consumption analysis and fuel control alerts.
• Event inputs for door, alarm or ignition-like signals — Plaspy can use these events to trigger notifications or automated workflows.
• Control output can be used to operate relays commonly used in remote immobilizer or remote shutoff setups when paired with Plaspy command functionality.
• Bluetooth 4.0 support enables connection of BLE sensors (temperature, humidity, proximity beacons) to expand telemetry visible in Plaspy dashboards.
• RS-485 and USB Type-C interfaces allow integration with external devices or data sources that Plaspy can ingest for consolidated fleet insights.
• Remote firmware and configuration management through the manufacturer’s DRC and NTC Configurator complements Plaspy deployment and maintenance workflows.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management and routing for small to medium vehicle fleets requiring discreet, Plaspy compatible GPS tracking.
• Fuel monitoring and fuel control using wired or wireless fuel sensors to reduce losses and monitor consumption.
• Anti-theft monitoring with event-based alerts; integration with a relay via the control output supports remote immobilization workflows.
• Temperature-sensitive cargo and environmental monitoring using wireless temperature and humidity sensors paired via Bluetooth.
• Basic telematics and telemetry collection for light commercial vehicles and mobile assets where permanent hardwired installation is acceptable.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

START S-2012 is a practical, Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for deployments where a compact, hardwired device is preferred. Its integrated GLONASS/GPS and GSM antennas simplify installation while Bluetooth 4.0 and RS-485 expand sensor and peripheral options. The ability to accept wired and wireless fuel sensors, plus environmental sensors, makes it a solid choice for fuel monitoring and telemetry tasks. Combined with the manufacturer's NTC Configurator and DRC remote management, START S-2012 supports straightforward configuration, firmware management and ongoing maintenance — enabling reliable real-time tracking, fleet management and anti-theft monitoring through Plaspy without unnecessary complexity.
