The Locator 690T (IDU-400) is a Green-Gps compatible digital vehicle recorder and GPS tracker built for modern fleet environments that need cloud-based tachograph replacement and high-frequency telemetry. Designed to remove paper tachographs from daily workflow, the 690T uploads driving records and operational data to the cloud for long-term retention, simplified audit trails, and easy retrieval via Green-Gps-compatible dashboards. Fleet managers get real-time tracking and event visibility without the administrative overhead of paper logs.
The unit combines robust telematics with flexible I/O expansion to support driver ID, temperature sensing and emergency inputs while continuing to report after vehicle power loss thanks to an integrated backup lithium-ion battery. With multi-band LTE connectivity and support for common transmission protocols, the Locator 690T integrates smoothly into Green-Gps-enabled fleet management systems to deliver regulatory compliance, driver behavior insights, and streamlined workflows for inspection and auditing.
Key Highlights
- Green-Gps compatible cloud retention — replace paper tachographs with searchable, auditable cloud records.
- High-frequency telemetry — records up to one sample per second (86,400 records/day) for precise trip and event reconstruction.
- Multi-band LTE with 2G/3G fallback — reliable cellular uplink for real-time tracking and data upload across networks.
- Flexible I/O expansion — temperature sensing, digital inputs, SOS emergency input and i-Button driver identification support for diverse fleet needs.
- Backup lithium-ion battery and continuous voltage monitoring — continues reporting after power loss and protects vehicle power systems.
- Tri-axis G-sensor for harsh event detection — automatic logging of harsh acceleration, braking and cornering incidents.
- Remote OTA updates and parameter configuration — reduce field visits and keep firmware and settings current.
How It Works with Green-Gps
The Locator 690T is designed to feed Green-Gps-compatible fleet management platforms with real-time location, driving records and telematics. Data flows securely via your carrier network to the cloud where Green-Gps visualizes trips, supports online printing and audit downloads, and exposes vehicle/date search for inspection workflows. Green-Gps integration enables notifications, reporting, and policy enforcement based on the 690T's recorded events.
- Real-time location and telemetry updates to Green-Gps dashboards for live monitoring and historical replay.
- Driver identification via i-Button entries captured and tagged in Green-Gps for duty and driver logs.
- Temperature sensing inputs provide cold-chain event data to Green-Gps when used in refrigerated fleets.
- Digital inputs (SOS, door/ignition status) feed event flags into Green-Gps alerts and reports for safety and compliance.
- Harsh-event snapshots from the tri-axis G-sensor populate driver behavior and incident reports in Green-Gps.

Why Choose This Tracker with Green-Gps
The Locator 690T (IDU-400) offers a practical, reliable path from legacy paper tachographs to a modern Green-Gps compatible telematics solution. Its cloud-first design and long-term retention model simplify audit and inspection workflows, while high-frequency recording provides the telemetry fidelity fleets need for accurate driver logs and operational analysis. Remote OTA updates and multi-protocol connectivity reduce maintenance time and ensure continuous, real-time tracking across cellular networks.
For fleets that require more than location alone, the 690T’s I/O flexibility allows integration with temperature sensors, driver identification systems and digital inputs that capture ignition or door status. When paired with Green-Gps, fleets gain centralized visualization, searchable archives, and reporting tools that support regulatory compliance, anti-theft workflows and operational efficiency. The Locator 690T is an ideal choice where dependable GPS tracker performance, cloud-based tachograph retention, and scalable telematics are essential.
