Why Does Your GPS Tracker Send a Power Cut-Off Alarm?

A GPS tracker with a power cut-off alarm is more than just a tracking device — it’s an active safeguard against theft, tampering, and electrical issues. If your device sends a “power cut-off” alert, here’s what it means and how you should respond.

🔌 What Is a Power Cut-Off Alarm?

This alarm is triggered when the GPS tracker is disconnected from the vehicle’s main power supply — either intentionally or accidentally. The device detects this change and immediately sends an alert to your platform or mobile app.

⚠️ Why Is This Important?

Anti-theft Protection

Thieves often try to disable GPS trackers by cutting the power. This alarm notifies you instantly of suspicious activity, giving you time to react.

Vehicle Battery Monitoring

It may also mean your vehicle’s battery is dead, loose, or faulty — a helpful early warning.

Installation or Wiring Issues

If the wiring is not secure, the tracker may lose power unexpectedly. This feature helps identify such problems quickly.

✅ What Should You Do When You Receive This Alert?

  • Check the vehicle’s location immediately on the platform.
  • Inspect the vehicle’s battery or wiring, especially if the vehicle has been stationary for a long time.
  • If you suspect theft or tampering, use the remote engine cut-off feature (if enabled) and contact local authorities.

🛠️ Our Device Also Supports Remote Engine Cut-Off

When connected properly, your GPS tracker can remotely cut off fuel and power to the engine via our platform. This is especially useful if the vehicle is stolen — it allows you to safely disable the vehicle’s engine once it stops moving.

⚡ Note: Remote engine cut-off must be used responsibly and only when the vehicle is at a complete stop.

🧠 Final Tips

  • Make sure your GPS tracker is installed by a professional.
  • Always keep an eye on alerts from your platform or mobile app.
  • Contact us if you need help interpreting any alarm.

Stay in control. Stay secure.

Our GPS tracker is more than just location tracking — it’s your 24/7 vehicle guardian.
