Vista VELD11 User manual
Overview
VELD11 is an Electronic Logging Device (ELD) used in conjunction with the Vista ELD mobile
application. This device is manufactured by PacificTrack and also known as PT30. The device must
be installed in the vehicle and connected to the diagnostic port interface (J1939).
Installation
1. DO NOT pair Bluetooth in your phone/tablet
settings. The connection will be established in the
Vista 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.
2. Plug the device into the vehicle port, BEFORE
turning on the vehicle, and BEFORE running the
Vista ELD app.
3. 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
a GPS lock.
4. Turn on the vehicle engine.
5. You should see a fast flashing green LED,
indicating that vehicle bus activity has been
detected.
6. After the green LED becomes solid, the device is
registered on the vehicle bus and you can run the
Vista ELD app and connect to the truck.
7. 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.
8. For the software setup, please follow the Vista
ELD User Manual.

Manual for more details).
