Common issues

Commands return ERROR after sending 803/804 like an ST-901

LK209C ignores the ST-9xx PIN-in-the-middle dialect. Use PIN 123456 glued to the command name: apn123456, adminip123456, gprs123456.

Unit never reports after magnetic install

Confirm the SIM is standard-size 2G GSM with SMS and data, PIN code off, and that adminip used port 5013 not the OEM port. Charge the pack before the first outdoor GPS fix.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about using the LK209C with Traxelio

Use the LK-GPS dialect, not ST-9xx. Default PIN is 123456. Typical chain: `gprs123456`, `apn123456 <APN>`, then `adminip123456 gps.traxelio.com 5013`. Some housings also accept `admin123456 00<your phone>`. Traxelio's device page shows copy-ready strings for port 5013.

Select h02 on port 5013. Traccar lists LK-GPS LK209C on that listener. Do not pick gt06 or gps103. The wire format is `*HQ,…#` — the same family as ST-9xx, with a different SMS dialect.

Hardware catalogues often group LK209A/B/C by battery size. On Traxelio, LK209 is the OBD-II page and LK209C is this magnetic page. If the unit has a magnet plate and no OBD dongle, stay here.

Reseller listings advertise a 20 000 mAh pack. Standby depends on report interval, temperature, and GSM coverage — Traxelio does not publish a day count. Charge before first use and treat a dead pack as a charging or SIM-data issue before swapping hardware.
