TOPFLYtech TLW2-12B Asset GPS Tracker
User Manual
20210223

Thanks for your purchase of the high-quality GPS tracker from TOPFLYtech. Please read this user manual carefully before installation and operation. Information in this manual is the property of TOPFLYtech. Changes to the specifications and features in this manual may be made by TOPFLYtech without prior notice. No part of this manual could be reproduced, copied, translated, transmitted, or published in any form or by any means without TOPFLYtech’s prior written permission.
The tracker is using GNSS & LTE technologies and could collect device coordinates then transfer them via LTE network to the server. It provides customers with cost-effective, efficient, and safe management. It has been widely used in commercial transportation, company vehicle fleet management, intelligent transportation, logistics, car rental, engineering machinery, marine transportation, and other segments.

Quick Reference Intelligent Power Management

To extend the battery life, we designed an intelligent power management algorithm. This algorithm allows the tracker to work for a long period when the battery is low and disconnected from external power. Once the battery is charged back, the tracker will report as normal. This function is enabled in default. Customers can disable it by command. The detailed working logic is:

When the battery voltage value is down to 3.5V, then the tracker will report every 24 hours no matter moving or standstill.
When the battery is charged back to 3.6V, the device will report as what is set by the customer.

FOTA (firmware over the air) Notification

TOPFLYtech is committed to providing clients with the best user experience. We are offering an automatic firmware update feature for every device.

Please note that this feature is enabled in default. If you want to turn it off, please contact with TOPFLYtech. If this feature is disabled, the fw update only can be done by sending the upgrade command manually.

Installation Guide

5.1 SIM Card Pre-Installation Note
5.1.1 SIM card data service should be enabled.
5.1.2 If the SIM card is locked via PIN, please unlock it first.
5.1.3 Ensure there is sufficient balance in the SIM card.

5.4 Installation
5.4.1 Away from emission sources such as all kinds of sensors, burglar alarms, and other communication devices.
6. Quick Trouble Shooting
6.1 Unable to Connect to the Tracking Platform
6.1.1 Check the APN and IP settings.
6.1.2 Check the SIM card whether supports a specific network and the data service whether is enabled.
6.1.3 Make sure there is no limitation or already added server IP to the IP white list when using an M2M SIM card.
6.1.4 Check the remaining balance or network signal of the SIM card.
6.2 Tracker Shows Offline
6.2.1 Check the external power voltage to see whether the tracker is disconnected from external power.
6.2.2 Check whether the vehicle entered the network blind area.
6.2.3 Check the balance of the tracker SIM card.
6.2.4 If the connection loss happens on the last several days of the month, check whether the network service is terminated by the carrier because of exceeding the max data usage volume.
6.3 Unable to locate 6.3.1 Is the top side (with the TOP SIDE logo on) facing upwards without being shielded by metallic things during the installation?
6.3.2 Does the vehicle enter an area with no satellite coverage?
6.4 Location Drift In an area with poor GNSS signal (like the areas with lots of high buildings), location drift may happen. When moving to open area, the drift will no longer exist.
