Pretrace's TC86 is an advanced asset-tracking device available in Satellite, 4G, Cat M, NB-IoT and LoRaWAN variants. It has a large battery for long life-time operation, an integrated accelerometer for precise motion detection, and optional temperature & humidity, PT100, distance, microwave and leakage sensors for comprehensive environmental monitoring.
An RF module can be added to support additional sensors without wiring — a comprehensive solution for asset monitoring and management across various industries.
TC86-N4 trackers installed on industrial gas tanks deliver scheduled position reports every 12 hours with minimal power consumption. Operators maintain daily, at-a-glance visibility and management of their tank fleet, supported by ATEX certification for hazardous-area deployment.
Non-rechargeable battery for 10 years life-time tracking — set and forget.
External power connection with digital and analog inputs for real-time tracking applications.
Large battery with wireless charging for portable and frequent tracking.
