ArkNav - R-9W

The R-9W Waterproof Vehicle GPS Tracker is a rugged, IP67-rated tracking unit engineered for demanding fleet management and vehicle security tasks. Built with an aluminum case, plastic end caps and a compact footprint (175 x 105 x 43 mm), the R-9W is designed to deliver reliable GPS tracker performance in harsh environments and integrate smoothly as a Plaspy compatible device for real-time tracking and telemetry.

The R-9W combines hardened hardware and fleet-grade features — rechargeable Li‑Ion backup battery (3.7V/1000mAh), wide board operating temperature (-20°C to +60°C), G-force motion switch, external power loss detection and remote immobilizer control — making it a practical choice for anti-theft protection, telemetry and fuel monitoring deployments. Its FTP/ACK data transfer and over‑the‑air firmware/configuration upload capabilities simplify centralized management across vehicle fleets when used with Plaspy.

Key Highlights

• Plaspy compatible GPS tracker designed for harsh conditions (IP67 waterproof, aluminum enclosure).
• Real-time tracking and telemetry support with simultaneous GPS and GSM data handling for reliable updates.
• Built-in rechargeable backup battery (3.7V/1000mAh) to maintain tracking during power loss.
• Advanced anti-theft tools: G-force motion switch, external power loss detection and remote immobilizer via phone or browser.
• Flexible integrations: analog input for temperature or fuel monitoring and optional I-BUTTON connection.
• Smart tracking modes (distance and angle-based) to optimize reporting and conserve bandwidth.
• Remote management: OTA firmware/configuration upload, FTP data transfer and a custom ACK mechanism for robust server communications.

How It Works with Plaspy

When paired with Plaspy, the R-9W becomes part of a scalable fleet management solution that collects location, telemetry and status events and delivers them to Plaspy’s dashboard and alerting engine. The device’s simultaneous GPS/GSM data handling, FTP transfer and ACK confirmations ensure consistent delivery of position and sensor data for real-time tracking and reporting.

• Real-time location and telemetry updates: GPS positions and vehicle telemetry are sent to Plaspy for live map views and historical playback.
• Motion and power events: G-force motion switch and external power loss detection generate immediate alerts in Plaspy for anti-theft and tamper scenarios.
• Fuel and temperature monitoring: Analog input supports telemetry such as fuel level or external temperature sensors; Plaspy can ingest and display these values for fuel monitoring and cold-chain visibility.
• Remote immobilizer: Fleet managers can issue immobilize commands via phone or browser through Plaspy to enhance anti-theft response.
• Device management: OTA firmware/config uploads and FTP/ACK communications enable centralized configuration, mass updates and reliable telemetry ingestion into Plaspy.
• Ignition/door/alarm inputs: Support depends on wiring and available inputs; the R-9W offers flexible integration options and related series variants (R-9PRO) provide expanded configurable I/O if required.

Technical Overview

Use Cases

• Fleet management: real-time tracking and telemetry integration with Plaspy for routing, utilization and compliance reporting.
• Vehicle anti-theft and recovery: motion detection, power loss alerts and remote immobilizer reduce theft risk and speed recovery.
• Fuel monitoring and diagnostics: analog input enables fuel level monitoring and telemetry feeds into Plaspy for fuel monitoring and cost control.
• Harsh environment deployments: IP67 waterproofing and wide operating temperature range make the R-9W suitable for construction, heavy equipment and off-road fleets.
• Cold-chain or temperature-sensitive cargo (with optional temperature sensors): monitor external temperature via analog sensors to maintain compliance and product integrity.

Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy

The R-9W is a workhorse GPS tracker optimized for reliability under tough conditions and straightforward Plaspy integration. Fleet managers gain a robust telemetry-capable tracker with power-loss resilience (backup battery), proven anti-theft controls (G-force motion switch and remote immobilizer), and remote device lifecycle management via OTA updates. Its FTP and ACK mechanisms help ensure data fidelity into Plaspy while smart tracking modes reduce data costs and improve reporting accuracy.

For fleets that require expanded I/O or specialized interfaces, the R-9PRO-related variants provide additional configurable I/O options. The R-9W’s compact, IP67-rated form factor and flexible analog telemetry inputs make it a practical choice when you need a dependable Plaspy compatible GPS tracker for vehicle security, fleet management, fuel monitoring and mission-critical telemetry in demanding environments.
