iStartek - VT140

The VT140 AIS-140 Approved GPS tracker is a durable, regulation-ready device designed for professional fleet management and vehicle security. AIS-140 compliance, CDAC protocol support and dual-server IP upload make the VT140 a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for operators who need reliable regulatory reporting and continuous real-time tracking across cars, buses, trucks and commercial vehicles.

Built for harsh automotive environments, the VT140 combines multi‑GNSS positioning, robust I/O for telemetry and accessories, and industry features such as remote cut-off, fuel-theft detection support and camera event upload. When integrated with Plaspy, the unit provides fleet managers with actionable telemetry, anti-theft controls and scheduled reports to support compliance, safety and operational efficiency.

Key Highlights

• AIS-140 approved and CDAC protocol capable — ready for regulatory reporting and Plaspy integration.
• High-precision multi‑GNSS positioning (GPS, BDS, GLONASS and IRNSS/QZSS) for accurate real-time tracking.
• Rugged IP66 waterproof enclosure and wide 9–100 V operating range — suitable for diverse vehicle classes.
• 500 mAh backup battery providing up to five hours of operation after external power loss for uninterrupted tracking and anti-theft response.
• Comprehensive telemetry and I/O: RS232, 1-Wire, analog/digital inputs, open-drain outputs and camera support for event-triggered uploads.
• Fuel monitoring support via ultrasonic or capacitive sensors and remote cut-off (immobilizer) capability for anti-theft and fuel-theft mitigation.
• Onboard 64 MB flash for local buffering during signal loss; FOTA and OTA control for remote maintenance and configuration.

How It Works with Plaspy

The VT140 uploads GNSS and vehicle telemetry to Plaspy using its dual-server IP upload capability and AIS-140 compliant protocols. Plaspy receives location, event and sensor data in real time, enabling live maps, alerts and historical reports. The device’s built-in buffering preserves complete tracking routes when connectivity is intermittent, ensuring Plaspy displays continuous routes and accurate telemetry once connectivity resumes.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates — multi‑GNSS positions and vehicle sensor data are sent to Plaspy for live monitoring.
• Event and alarm integration — geo-fence, parking, antenna-disconnect, low-battery and power-on reports are forwarded to Plaspy for immediate alerts.
• Driving behavior and safety alerts — harsh acceleration, braking, cornering, speeding and fatigue/drunk-driving alarms feed into Plaspy’s driver scoring and safety modules.
• Fuel monitoring and theft detection — ultrasonic or capacitive fuel sensor inputs are supported and reported via Plaspy for fuel monitoring dashboards and alerts.
• Remote immobilizer / cut-off — Plaspy can trigger OTA output control to isolate fuel or power for anti-theft intervention (subject to local regulations and safe procedures).

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management and compliance — AIS-140 compliance makes VT140 suitable for regulated fleets, public transport and commercial vehicle operators using Plaspy for reporting and live tracking.
• Anti-theft and immobilization — remote cut-off and power/fuel isolation integrated with Plaspy alerts for stolen vehicle response.
• Fuel monitoring and theft detection — integrate ultrasonic or capacitive fuel sensors to monitor fuel levels and detect theft or leakage.
• Driver behavior & safety programs — harsh driving event capture and fatigue/drunk driving alarms feed Plaspy dashboards for coaching and insurance reporting.
• Event-triggered telemetry & camera capture — use camera support and event uploads to document incidents, improve accountability and streamline investigations.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The VT140 is built for operators who need a Plaspy compatible GPS tracker that balances regulatory compliance, rugged reliability and deep telemetry integration. AIS-140 approval and CDAC protocol support reduce integration friction for regulated deployments, while dual-server upload and onboard buffering enhance data continuity for real-time tracking. Support for extensive I/O, RS232 peripherals and fuel sensors gives fleet managers flexible telemetry and anti-theft tools, and FOTA/OTA controls minimize field service visits.

In practice, the VT140 delivers dependable real-time tracking, robust telemetry and anti-theft capability for fleets and commercial vehicles. When paired with Plaspy’s mapping, alerts and reporting, the VT140 helps fleet managers maintain compliance, reduce fuel loss, improve driver safety and react quickly to security events — all backed by a rugged IP66 design and wide voltage tolerance for demanding vehicle environments.
