Teltonika - TAT240 Features

This page provides a public feature overview for the Teltonika TAT240 and explains how the device is used with Plaspy for tracking and asset monitoring. It focuses on practical, non sensitive descriptions of the tracker capabilities that matter to fleet managers and asset owners using Plaspy for visibility and alerts.

Exact feature availability and behavior can vary by firmware version, hardware revision, regional model, installation practice, and manufacturer implementation. For device specific configuration and the most current technical details, review the official Teltonika documentation and release notes.

Feature Overview​

The TAT240 is a compact, tamper resistant tracker intended for discreet long term monitoring of high value assets. Its cellular connectivity, movement based reporting and tamper detection are designed to provide reliable location updates while optimizing operational life for installations where low profile mounting and anti steal alerts are important.

  • Compact, hard to detect form factor suited to hidden mounting on equipment, containers and other assets.
  • 4G LTE Cat 1 connectivity with 2G fallback to maintain regional cellular coverage and resilient uplink.
  • Magnetic holder with integrated tamper detection to signal unauthorized removal or interference.
  • Configurable movement based periodic reporting that balances situational awareness and battery life.
  • Sleep modes to reduce detectability and extend operational life for long term deployments.
  • Compatibility with Bluetooth sensors and beacons to expand monitoring beyond location when accessories are used.

Core Features of Teltonika - TAT240​

  • Out of the box compatibility with Plaspy for location and event reporting.
  • 4G LTE Cat 1 cellular data with automatic 2G fallback for broader coverage.
  • Integrated magnetic holder with tamper detection for anti theft monitoring.
  • Movement based periodic reporting to trigger updates only when motion is detected.
  • Sleep mode support to minimize power use during long term deployments.
  • Onboard GNSS positioning for periodic location reporting and route history.
  • BLE compatibility for external beacons and sensors to extend telemetry.
  • Support for remote device management through the manufacturer ecosystem for configuration and updates.

How These Features Work with Plaspy​

Plaspy receives location and event data from the TAT240 so operators can monitor assets, review historical movement, and act on tamper notifications. The platform presents device updates in dashboards and lets teams tailor alerting and reporting intervals to operational needs.

  • Real time and periodic position updates appear in Plaspy dashboards and maps for situational awareness.
  • Tamper events from the magnetic holder are visible in Plaspy as notifications and timeline events to support anti theft response.
  • Movement triggered reporting helps reduce unnecessary updates while preserving visibility when assets move.
  • Bluetooth sensor data from compatible accessories can be associated with assets in Plaspy to enrich telemetry when available.
  • Device status and recent activity are shown in Plaspy to help identify devices that require attention or servicing.

Typical Use Cases​

  • Rental equipment monitoring to track location, movement and tamper events for loss prevention and utilization reporting.
  • Container and cargo protection with discreet installation and tamper alerts for chain of custody monitoring.
  • Construction machinery oversight to monitor deployments and detect unauthorized movement.
  • High value goods transport where discrete trackers and optional Bluetooth sensors augment security and environmental telemetry.
  • Asset backup for fleet management, providing a lightweight, hidden location source to complement vehicle telematics.

Feature Availability Notes​

  • Feature behavior can depend on firmware version and manufacturer configuration. Check Teltonika firmware notes for recent changes.
  • Regional model differences affect supported cellular bands and coverage. Verify the correct regional variant for your deployment area.
  • Bluetooth sensor and beacon functionality requires compatible accessories which may be sold separately and require pairing or configuration.
  • Installation and mounting method can affect GNSS performance and tamper detection effectiveness.
  • Remote configuration and firmware updates are handled through the device management ecosystem provided by the manufacturer and may require additional tooling.

Why Use Plaspy with These Features​

Using the TAT240 with Plaspy provides a practical, low profile option for organizations that need reliable location reporting, tamper awareness, and extended operational life from discreet asset trackers. Movement based reporting and sleep modes reduce unnecessary reporting while preserving critical visibility when assets move, and tamper notifications help teams respond quickly to potential theft or interference.
