1. OVERVIEW
The CT 4000 (TripLINK 12LB) is a low-cost device capable of tracking, monitoring, and controlling refrigerated
containers both on land and at sea for total intermodal asset visibility. The CT 4000 also integrates with standard
refrigerated container microcontrollers for monitoring and control. It pairs this information with data from onboard
sensors such as location and temperature and sends messages over one of three communication channels: Cellular,
LoRAWAN, or local BLE Mesh.
The CT 4000 uses a rugged, IP67 enclosure that houses all electronics, power control, and antennas. External
interfaces are available through a rugged external connector.
The device can be powered externally through the main connector or through the internal rechargeable battery. The
batteries are charged through the external connector. While operating on battery, the CT 4000 is capable of powering
the refrigerated container microcontroller to read critical information even when the container is not connected to
external power.
