Feature Overview​

The PT-201 is a purpose built motorcycle tracker that combines GPS positioning with GSM GPRS connectivity to provide both live tracking and historical route logging. Below are the most relevant practical capabilities that users commonly rely on when deploying PT-201 devices with a platform such as Plaspy.

  • Real time tracking via GPRS and position requests via SMS for on demand location checks
  • Long term route history with a position log capacity of more than 7000 waypoints for playback and review
  • SOS panic feature with three preset SOS numbers for emergency notification
  • Geo fence control and configurable alarm types including speed alarm and low power alert
  • IP66 rated enclosure for weather resistant installation on motorcycles
  • BOFAN Smart Report Tech to reduce GPRS costs by optimizing reporting using ACC status, mileage reports, and motion sensing

Core Features of Bofan - PT-201​

  • GPS and GSM GPRS communication for live tracking and remote queries
  • Live tracking and SMS location reporting for real time position visibility
  • Historical logging of more than 7000 waypoints for trip review and playback
  • SOS panic function with up to three preset emergency numbers
  • IP66 waterproof rating suited for exposed motorcycle installations
  • Geo fence control with alarm notifications for zone entry and exit
  • BOFAN Smart Report Tech designed to lower GPRS data usage through ACC, mileage, and motion based reporting
  • I O and analog connectivity including 2 digital inputs with negative and positive triggering, 1 output, and 1 ten bit analog input

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

When a PT-201 is reporting to Plaspy, its position and event messages are translated into map markers, history of movement, and event notifications inside the Plaspy platform. Plaspy also detects supported tracker protocols automatically which simplifies onboarding of compatible devices.

  • Live GPS positions appear on Plaspy maps for real time monitoring and route visualization
  • Stored waypoints are available for history playback so operators can review past trips and stops
  • SOS alerts, geofence events, speed alarms, and low power warnings are surfaced as events and can trigger notifications in Plaspy
  • Mileage based reports and maintenance reminders generated by the device can be reflected as operational metrics inside Plaspy
  • Digital input and output activity and analog input events are represented as status changes or events to support external sensor monitoring
  • Optimized reporting modes from BOFAN Smart Report Tech help reduce data volume and can result in lower reporting frequency visible in Plaspy usage reports

Typical Use Cases​

  • Motorcycle delivery and courier fleet tracking for real time dispatch and route oversight
  • Rental or scooter sharing operations requiring location history and security features
  • Theft recovery and emergency response using SOS alerts and live location reporting
  • Preventive maintenance scheduling driven by mileage and travel history
  • Monitoring of speed and zone compliance through geofence and speed alarm events
  • Long term route analysis and driver behavior review using the device waypoint log

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Feature sets depend on firmware and hardware revision; some functions may be optional or require specific firmware versions
  • Certain features such as engine cut are noted as optional and may not be present on every unit or regional variant
  • SMS based functions and GPRS reporting require correct configuration and cellular coverage in the installation area
  • I O wiring, triggering behavior, and analog input interpretation depend on installation and should follow manufacturer wiring guides
  • Regional product variants and carrier compatibility can affect roaming and reporting behavior; confirm local support where devices will operate

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the PT-201 with Plaspy gives organizations centralized visibility into motorcycle fleets, combining the device level capabilities of the tracker with Plaspy's mapping, history playback, event notifications, and reporting tools. This pairing helps teams manage day to day operations, react to incidents, and track maintenance needs driven by mileage and route history.
