Coban - BN-401D Features
This page provides a public feature overview of the Coban BN-401D and how its capabilities are exposed when the device is used with Plaspy. It focuses on practical, user facing features such as real time location reporting, alarm functions, remote control options on the D variant, and how those events and telemetry appear in a Plaspy deployment.
Exact feature availability and behavior can depend on device firmware, hardware revision, the specific D or non D model, installation choices, and manufacturer implementation. For planning or critical use please confirm model specific details and the latest firmware notes from the manufacturer.
Feature Overview
The BN-401D is a compact, concealed tracker built for motorcycles and small vehicles that emphasizes reliable location reporting, anti theft protection, and simple remote control when combined with a fleet platform such as Plaspy. It balances continuous tracking needs with power saving behaviors suited for small vehicle installations.
- Real time GPS tracking with LTE as primary connectivity and 2G fallback for broader coverage.
- Alarm suite including SOS, shock or movement alarm, overspeed alerts, low battery and external power disconnect warnings.
- Remote control capability on the D variant enabling arm and disarm and remote fuel or power cutoff for immobilization style control.
- Smart power management that stays offline while stationary and wakes on motion or configured events to preserve battery life.
- Compact form factor for concealed installation with vehicle power input and a small rechargeable backup battery.
- Includes standard accessories such as a relay, wiring harness and remote control on D model kits for rapid deployment.
Core Features of Coban - BN-401D
- LTE first connectivity with automatic 2G fallback for continued reporting where LTE is not available.
- Rechargeable backup battery for short term reporting during external power loss.
- Dedicated D variant remote for arm, disarm and remote fuel or power cutoff functionality.
- Multiple alarm types including SOS emergency alert, shock or movement alarm, overspeed and external power disconnection.
- Ignition or ACC aware tracking and associated event reporting for trip detection and event based monitoring.
- Geo fencing support and breach notifications for perimeter based alerts.
- Included relay and wiring harness to support immobilizer style installations where required.
- Compact enclosure designed for concealed mounting on motorcycles and small cars.
How These Features Work with Plaspy
When the BN-401D is integrated into Plaspy, location updates, alarms and device state are ingested by the platform so fleet managers and owners can monitor devices centrally. Plaspy automatically detects supported tracker protocols and presents events and telemetry in dashboards, maps and alert channels.
- Live position display and track playback for route reconstruction and historical review.
- Alarm event notifications and timelines for SOS, shock, overspeed and power related alerts.
- Device state visibility including external power status and backup battery warnings to plan maintenance and prevent downtime.
- Ignition related events and trip markers for event based reporting and route segmentation.
- Remote immobilization actions from the D variant reflected in Plaspy workflows where remote cutoff is configured and permitted.
Typical Use Cases
- Motorcycle anti theft protection with concealed installation, movement detection, SOS alerts and remote cutoff.
- Small fleet tracking for scooters or compact vehicles requiring live position and simple alerting.
- Owner monitoring to receive low battery and power disconnect alerts for peace of mind.
- Remote immobilization workflows for recovery or security response when the D model is deployed.
- Short trip and route playback for basic operational oversight and incident review.
Feature Availability Notes
- Feature presence can vary between the D model and non D model; remote arm and remote fuel or power cutoff are specific to the D variant.
- Firmware revisions may add, change or refine alarms, power behavior and remote command syntax so feature behavior can differ across updates.
- Regional network support and fallback behavior depend on local carrier 4G and 2G availability and the device band set.
- Installation choices such as wiring method and accessory selection affect available functions and alarm reliability.
- Always confirm the exact hardware revision and accessory kit contents for deployments that rely on remote cutoff or relay functions.
Why Use Plaspy with These Features
Pairing the BN-401D with Plaspy brings centralized visibility and operational controls for motorcycle and small vehicle fleets. Plaspy collects location updates and alarm events from the tracker and surfaces them in maps, alerts and device timelines so teams can respond to theft, power issues or operational incidents with timely information.
