PT30-U Electronic Logging Device
User Manual

Introduction

The Pacific Track PT30-U is an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) that can be used to implement the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Hours Of Service (HOS) requirements.
The PT30-U includes 4 major functional blocks:

• A GPS receiver
• A vehicle interface
• Memory Storage
• A Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transceiver

Interface

The PT30-U includes a single 10-pin interface. The PT30-U must be connected to the vehicle diagnostic port with the supplied cable. The diagnostic connector provides power (typically 12V) and connection into the vehicle CAN bus.

Bluetooth Low Energy

The Bluetooth Low Energy implements the Low Energy section of the Bluetooth 5.0 specification.
The transceiver operates between 2402 MHz and 2480 MHz at a power of -4 dBm. The antenna is integrated on the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) of the PT30. There are no serviceable or adjustable parts inside the product. Any modification of the product will void the warranty.

Software

To comply with the HOS regulations, the PT30-U must be used with an FMCSA certified software application running on a smartphone or tablet. A standalone PT30-U alone is not a certified ELD solution. Please contact your HOS software provider for additional information.
