Overview
ADA101 is an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) used in conjunction with the ADA ELD mobile app. This device is manufactured by PacificTrack and is also known as PT30. The device must be installed in the vehicle and connected to the diagnostic port interface (J1939).
Installation
- DO NOT pair Bluetooth in your phone/tablet settings. The connection will be established in the ADA ELD app. However, if your phone/tablet prompts you or asks you for permission to turn on Bluetooth, you need to do that since Bluetooth is needed for the device to communicate with the app.
- Plug the device into the vehicle port, BEFORE turning on the vehicle and BEFORE running the ADA ELD app.
- You should see a slow flashing green LED, indicating that the device is powered. You should also see a flashing red LED, indicating that the internal GPS is in acquisition mode. A solid red LED indicates that the signal is locked, but you can proceed to the next step without waiting for GPS lock.
- Turn on the vehicle engine.
- You should see a fast flashing green LED, indicating that vehicle bus activity has been detected.
- After the green LED becomes solid, the device is registered on the vehicle bus, and you can run the ADA ELD app and connect to the truck.
- From this point on, the device will have and retain the information it needs, such as VIN, to communicate with the app via Bluetooth Low Energy. Note that for power management reasons, sometimes the LEDs will not stay on.
- For software setup, please follow the ADA ELD User Manual.
