TRANE TKV5LA Jolt Wireless Communication System User Manual
Component Overview
Jolt Characteristics
The Jolt system has no user-serviceable parts. The Jolt contains a 2500mAh
rechargeable lithium battery for maintaining the real time clock and for
maintaining function for a short period of time when VIN is removed.
Proper recycling or disposal per local law is required for all components of
the Jolt.
Component Description
The Jolt is a wireless communication platform that offers refrigerated truck fleet owners the ability to monitor their refrigeration units on the refrigerated trucks. 4G cellular capabilities are used to communicate with web-based applications. Bluetooth® and Cellular options are available on the Jolt to monitor the refrigeration units. It has an internal antenna system through which it communicates with the telematics system or locally via Bluetooth for supported devices.
The Jolt mounts in the refrigeration unit. The Jolt communicates with the refrigeration unit through the CAN connector on the unit. A user interface with the Jolt offers a gateway for telematics providers to communicate with the refrigeration units.
The Jolt also has an internal battery that is used to provide backup power if the main battery power is lost or interrupted. The Jolt contains an intelligent battery charger that keeps the Internal battery charged during normal unit operation.
Component Operating Instructions
The customer fleet can consist of any number of vehicles. Those which need to
be monitored must have the correct hardware installed, which includes the Jolt
module and appropriate harness to connect to the unit controller.
The hardware performs a number of functions:
- It receives constant updates from the GPS satellite network which enables it to log the vehicle location.
- It contains an array of signal pins to monitor sensor details such as temperature, speed, and engine status.
- It is 4G LTE enabled, which allows it to communicate the data it has logged (location data and sensor readings) back to the server.
Data is transferred to the server:
- At predefined intervals.
- When a request for the latest data is received by the unit.
- Predefined events e.g., Setpoint Change.
- Alarm notification.
The server communicates with the hardware installed in the vehicles over the 4G LTE network. It can use a combination of SMS (Short Message Service) messages and 4G Cellular (Data Service). 4G Cellular allows the transfer of larger amounts of information more efficiently. For this reason, each hardware has a specific mobile number assigned to it.
The server sits at the heart of the monitoring system. It provides the interface between the monitoring software run in browsers on customer sites, and the customer fleet. The server also stores configuration detail and user settings so that a user can log on at any PC terminal and experience the same user interface and personalized settings.
Configuration data is also transferred from the server to the Jolt device in response to user actions. Typically, this includes 2-way commands, Geofence updates, etc.
Customers can monitor their fleet activity using an application by logging onto a specific site with a valid username and password.

Installation Planning
Safety, Reliability, and Accessibility
- Use eye protection when using a drill/performing work that may be hazardous to the eyes.
- Use ear protection in noisy work areas.
- Wear appropriate clothing/uniforms and safety shoes.
- Maintain three points of contact when climbing in and out of cab.
- Make sure you know what is behind the area before you drill.
- Install equipment so it will not cause damage to the vehicle or work loose over time.
- Make sure there are no loose components/cables and no unsecured components.
- Use solid mounting surfaces.
- Route all cables away from hot or abrasive areas.
- Choose installation locations where components can be easily serviced.
- Choose installation locations where components are safe from tampering and damage
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
—————————————————————————————————————————–
WARNING Do not locate the product where it obstructs the driver’s field of
vision, distracts the driver from the driving task, interferes with the
