The TRACKER Plus is a sophisticated vehicle location unit (VLU) designed to enhance vehicle security through advanced tracking capabilities. This device, identified by part number GBNGA-VU006, integrates seamlessly into the vehicle's electrical system, providing robust protection against theft and aiding in vehicle recovery. Its primary function is to securely track the vehicle using Very High Frequency (VHF) technology, allowing for precise location even in challenging environments where GPS signals might be obstructed.
The core function of the TRACKER Plus is to provide a reliable and covert tracking solution for vehicles. Upon installation, the VLU connects to the vehicle's permanent 12V supply and ignition, allowing it to continuously monitor the vehicle's status. In the event of theft, the unit transmits a VHF signal, which can be picked up by TRACKER's network, enabling rapid location and recovery of the stolen vehicle. Unlike GPS-only systems, VHF technology offers superior performance in areas like underground car parks, containers, or dense urban environments where line-of-sight to satellites is often blocked.
The system is designed for discreet operation, with the VLU and its antenna intended to be hidden within the vehicle's existing structures and wiring looms. This covert installation makes it difficult for thieves to detect and disable the device, significantly increasing the chances of successful recovery. The unit also incorporates an internal battery, ensuring continued operation even if the vehicle's main power supply is disconnected.
A key aspect of its functionality is the integration with the TRACKER Dealer Portal. This online platform is used for registering the unit's serial number and asset details, which is a crucial step for activating the tracking service. The portal also facilitates commissioning the unit, ensuring it communicates correctly with the TRACKER network. The VLU includes a diagnostic LED that provides visual feedback on its operational status, aiding installers in verifying correct functionality during and after installation.
The TRACKER Plus is designed to be a "fit and forget" solution once properly installed and commissioned. It operates autonomously, constantly ready to transmit its location when activated by the TRACKER network in a theft scenario. The system's reliance on VHF technology means it does not depend on cellular networks, which can be jammed or out of range, providing a more resilient tracking capability.
The TRACKER Plus is primarily a security and recovery device, meaning its "usage" is largely passive from the owner's perspective, but highly active in the background. For the installer, the device offers several features that streamline the installation process and ensure proper functionality.
The TRACKER Plus is designed for minimal maintenance once installed, operating largely autonomously. However, there are a few considerations related to its long-term operation and troubleshooting.
