Arnavi BTS v.5
The Arnavi BTS v.5 is a compact, long-life Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) sensor and iBeacon tag designed for temperature monitoring, contact/door detection, and asset identification. Plaspy compatible when used with a Plaspy-supported BLE gateway or combined with Plaspy GPS trackers, the BTS v.5 extends fleet management and telemetry capabilities by supplying high-frequency temperature and state data from vehicles, refrigerators, and fixed installations.
Built for cold-chain logistics, anti-tamper monitoring and lightweight asset tracking, the BTS v.5 delivers configurable reporting and beacon identity (UUID/MAJOR/MINOR) in a small, easy-to-mount package. Its replaceable CR2477 battery and adjustable transmission interval and radio power allow operators to balance responsiveness and battery life for real-world fleet and asset monitoring needs.
Key Highlights
- Plaspy compatible via BLE gateway: forwards temperature and sensor telemetry into Plaspy dashboards and alerts.
- Long battery life with replaceable CR2477 cell — up to ~1,500 days at room temperature depending on settings.
- Multi-mode operation: temperature sensor, iBeacon (UUID/MAJOR/MINOR) and contact/circuit state detector in one unit.
- Configurable transmission interval and radio power to optimize responsiveness and battery consumption.
- Compact, lightweight design (61 × 42 × 13 mm, 30 g) for discreet mounting on vehicles, equipment, or containers.
- Simple installation and setup through iOS and Android mobile configurator apps.
- Suitable for cold-chain monitoring, anti-theft/anti-tamper door detection and asset identification in fleet management workflows.
How It Works with Plaspy
The Arnavi BTS v.5 provides BLE advertising packets and sensor telemetry that Plaspy can ingest when the device is within range of a Plaspy-compatible BLE gateway or a vehicle gateway that collects BLE beacons. Plaspy maps the BTS v.5 data to the corresponding asset or vehicle record, enabling real-time telemetry, event alerts and historical reporting alongside GPS-based location feeds from Plaspy GPS trackers.
- Real-time telemetry: temperature readings are forwarded to Plaspy for live monitoring and thresholds.
- Beacon identity: UUID, MAJOR and MINOR values allow Plaspy to identify and tag specific assets or compartments.
- Contact/magnetic sensor events: door open/close and circuit state changes are sent as discrete events for anti-theft and tamper alerts.
- Configurable reporting: adjustable transmission interval and radio power let you control update frequency in Plaspy.
- Complementary to GPS tracker data: when paired with Plaspy GPS devices or gateways, temperature and sensor states become part of fleet management, fuel monitoring and anti-theft workflows.

Use Cases
- Cold-chain logistics: continuous temperature monitoring inside refrigerated trucks and containers with Plaspy alerting for excursions.
- Vehicle refrigerator monitoring: track compartment temperature telemetry and generate compliance reports in Plaspy.
- Anti-tamper and door monitoring: magnetic sensor detects openings and triggers instant alerts to Plaspy for anti-theft workflows.
- Asset identification and inventory: BLE beacon identity (UUID/MAJOR/MINOR) tags pallets, equipment or compartments for proximity-based tracking.
- Equipment state control: circuit input monitors device state or mechanism operation and feeds events into Plaspy dashboards and rules.
Why Choose This Tracker with Plaspy
The Arnavi BTS v.5 is not a GPS tracker, but it is an effective Plaspy compatible BLE sensor that expands fleet management and telemetry capabilities where small form-factor sensing and long battery life matter. Use it alongside Plaspy GPS trackers and gateways to add environmental telemetry and tamper detection to your real-time tracking setup. Its long-lived CR2477 power source, configurable reporting and iBeacon support make integration straightforward — helping fleets achieve reliable cold-chain oversight, improved anti-theft monitoring and richer telemetry without adding frequent maintenance.
When combined with Plaspy’s platform features — including real-time tracking, alerts for fuel monitoring and ignition/immobilizer events from vehicle GPS units — the BTS v.5 fills the gap for temperature, contact, and proximity sensing. This makes it a practical choice for operators who need precise telemetry, asset identity and anti-theft signaling as part of a scalable fleet management solution.
Set Up Arnavi BTS v.5
Use with a tracker
-
Set the Operator APN
CountryCarrierAPNinternet.comcel.com.coUserCOMCELWEBPasswordCOMCELWEB
- Check your tracker clock setup is set UTC-0 or GMT. (The most trackers come from the factory on UTC.)
- For most devices you should use IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number as unique identifier. However, some devices have vendor specific unique identifier, for example TK-103 devices use 11-digit identifier.
-
Set Up the IP and port on your tracker: (automatic detect tracker's protocol.)
IP 54.85.159.138 Port 8888 - Add on your Account on devices with the IMEI or unique ID.
