On-Board Diagnostics Overview
The Novatel Wireless M2M MT 3060 connects to a vehicle's On-Board Diagnostics (OBDII)
port and monitors the OBDII system using communication protocols. An On-Board Diagnostics
(OBD) system controls engine functions and serves as the diagnostic control network of the
vehicle. All cars built and sold in the United States since 1996 require the newer OBDII system.
You can configure the MT 3060 to provide notification messages based on events triggered
by:
Accelerometer change
Check engine light (MIL alert)
Engine RPM
GPS information
Idle time
Low fuel
Trip Odometer (trip distance)
Vehicle battery voltage (low battery warning)
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
Vehicle speed
Other events monitored by the OBDII system
Some vehicles are not compatible with the MT 3060. If a vehicle is not compatible
with the required MT 3060 parameters, then functionality may be limited,
problematic, or unavailable.
The 1979 Society of Automobile Engineers (SAE) standard defines the method for requesting
diagnostics data and provides a list of standard parameters from the engine control unit.
Since the vehicle manufacturer is responsible for complying with the SAE standard, Novatel
Wireless M2M cannot guarantee that the MT 3060 will perform with every vehicle.

New Event Reporting
The MT 3060 has additional event reporting not supported by other Novatel Wireless M2M
products. For general event reporting information and for detailed information about these
new events, refer to the MT 3060 AT Command Document (GSM2398AT001).
Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
The VIN is used as a unique identifier which is sent at first power-up with heartbeat messages
and with events.
Vehicle manufacturers are responsible for defining the list of data returned,
therefore not all vehicles support returning the Vehicle Identification Number.
- 11 -
Excessive Engine Speed (RPM)
Excessive engine speed alerts are triggered when the engine speed (in RPM) exceeds a
defined RPM level (in ¼ RPM increments) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 30
seconds).
The MT 3060 has three definable thresholds.
Unnecessary wear and tear on the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) may occur if constant or
frequent excessive engine speed is reported. One of the following situations may cause
excessive engine speed:
Obstructions, such as ice or mud, that may cause wheel slippage if the obstruction is not
removed
Revving the RPM while in neutral
Speeding or reckless driving that causes excessive RPM engine speed
The following AT command example sets the excessive engine speed threshold at 1 to 4000
RPM. Then, if exceeded for 3 seconds, it triggers the input event. This event will clear once
engine RPM is below 4000 for 30 seconds.
AT$OBDEES=1,4000,3,30
Vehicle Speed
A vehicle speed alert is triggered if the device is configured for vehicle speed alerts and the
vehicle moves faster than one of the three configurable thresholds (e.g., 70 MPH).
The following AT Command example sets the vehicle speed threshold at 1 to 112 KPH
(~70MPH). When the threshold is exceeded for 10 seconds, an input event is triggered. This
event will clear when the vehicle speed is reduced to 104KPH (~65MPH).
AT$OBDSPD=1,112,10,104
Vehicle Battery Voltage (Low Battery Warning)
The vehicle battery voltage alert is triggered when the vehicle’s battery is reported to be
below a threshold (e.g., 10.8 V) for a user-defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 300
seconds).
The following AT Command example sets the low battery threshold to 10.8 volts. When the
voltage remains below this threshold for 300 seconds (5 minutes), it triggers an input event.
Restoring voltage above the threshold for 300 seconds (5 minutes) will clear this event.
AT$OBDLBL=10800,300,300
- 12 -
Check Engine Light (MIL Alert)
When the vehicle's “Check Engine” light illuminates, this indicates that a vehicle issue
requires attention for diagnosis and/or repair. This is also known as a Malfunction Indicator
Light (MIL). A user can configure a device to detect a MIL issue via the OBDII protocol, and to
send an alert when the device detects such an issue.
Trip Odometer Reporting
Trip odometer reporting provides the odometer miles accumulated from ignition-on to
ignition-off, which is considered a “trip”.
Ignition events are not yet detected on hybrid or electric vehicles.
Idle Time Reporting
An idle time event is triggered when the vehicle’s engine is running without the vehicle
moving (i.e., velocity less than 3 KPH) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 300
seconds).
The alert is cleared when the vehicle speed exceeds another speed and time threshold.
Both the violation and clearing of the alert are reported if configured.
The following AT Command example sets the idle time speed threshold to 3 KPH for 5
minutes (300 seconds) with a clearance time of 30 seconds. If the speed remains below this
threshold for 300 seconds (5 minutes), it triggers the input event. Restoring speed above this
threshold for 30 seconds will clear this event.
AT$OBDIDL=3,300,30
Low Fuel Alert
The low fuel alert triggers when the vehicle’s fuel level falls below a defined threshold in
percent (e.g., 12%) for a defined period of time in seconds (e.g., 60 seconds).
The following AT Command example sets the low fuel alert threshold to 12% for 1 minute (60
seconds) with a clearance time of 30 seconds. If the fuel level remains below this threshold for
60 seconds, it triggers the input event. Restoring the fuel level above this threshold for 30
seconds will clear this event.

Driver Behavior Acceleration
Rapid acceleration events can be triggered when one of four available thresholds are
exceeded as determined by the accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 0.75) for a defined period of
time in seconds (e.g., 30 seconds). The event will clear if the acceleration falls below the
threshold for a defined period of time. The command may also be configured to clear the
event if it persists beyond a maximum duration.
The following AT Command example sets the rapid acceleration threshold #1 to .2G. If this
threshold is exceeded for 1 second, then an input event is triggered. Keeping the acceleration
of the vehicle below this threshold for 30 seconds will clear this event. There is no maximum
duration set in this example.
AT$DVBACL=1,200,1,30,0
Driver Behavior Deceleration (Harsh Braking)
Rapid deceleration events can be triggered when one of four available deceleration
thresholds are exceeded as determined by the accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 1.0) for a
defined period of time in seconds (30 seconds). The command may also be configured to
clear the event if it persists beyond a maximum duration.
The following AT Command example sets the rapid deceleration threshold #1 to .5Gs. If this
threshold is exceeded for 1 second, then an input event is triggered. Keeping the deceleration
below this threshold for 30 seconds will clear this event. The event will also clear if the
threshold is exceeded for a duration of 10 seconds.
AT$DVBDCL=1,500,1,3,10
Motion Detection
Motion alerts for vehicles can be configured to communicate that a vehicle is being towed.
Motion detection, based on measuring movement via the accelerometer, occurs when the
vehicle ignition is off and the vehicle is stationary.
A motion alert is triggered when motion defined in milli-Gs is detected for a defined period of
time.
OBDII Basic Event Data
Five additional data items can be included with event messages:
VIN
Firmware version ($PKG)
OBD Protocol (i.e., J1850 PWM)
Cellular signal strength (RSSI)
OBD speed

Right/Left Turn (Lateral Acceleration)
Harsh turn events can be triggered when one of two available thresholds are exceeded as
determined by the accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 0.75) for a defined period of time in
seconds (e.g., 30 seconds). The command may also be configured to clear the event if it
persists beyond a maximum duration.
The following AT command example sets the lateral acceleration accelerometer threshold 1 to
.25 Gs. If this threshold is exceeded for 2 seconds, an input event is triggered. This event will
clear in 15 seconds when the acceleration is below this threshold. The event will also clear if
the threshold is exceeded for a duration of 10 seconds.
AT$DVBLAL=1,250,2,15,10
Up / Down (Vertical Acceleration)
Up and down accelerometer events can be triggered when the threshold is exceeded as
determined by the accelerometer in milli-Gs (e.g., 0.75) for a defined period of time in
seconds (e.g., 30 seconds). The command may also be configured to clear the event if it
persists beyond a maximum duration.
The following AT command example sets the vertical acceleration accelerometer threshold 1
to 1.2Gs. If this threshold is exceeded for 1 second, an input event is triggered. This event will
clear in 30 seconds when the acceleration is below this threshold. The event will also clear if
the threshold is exceeded for a duration of 10 seconds.
AT$DVBVAL=1,1200,1,30,10
AT Commands Over SMS
A user can send AT commands to the MT 3060 via SMS. Please refer to Novatel Wireless
M2M Application Note ENF0000AN012 - AT Commands Over SMS for details.
Store/Transmit Event Data
The user can configure the MT 3060 to store event-generated data in its internal memory to
be sent over the air to a remote server. This feature can be enabled or disabled using the
AT$MSGLOGEN command.
“Total Number of Unread Messages” is decremented if an unread message is read via the
AT$MSGLOGRD command.
- 15 -
Example: Assume there are 50 unread messages in the message queue and the total number
of messages in the message queue is 100. This means that the first 50 messages have been
read while the last 50 messages have not been read. If a user sends AT$GPSLOGRD=0,1,51
then the total number of unread messages drops down to 49 after successful transmission of
that message. However, if a user sends AT$GPSLOGRD=0,1,99 then the total number of
unread messages still remains at 50—that message is transmitted to the remote server.
A user can also read a message stored in the memory by inputting the appropriate starting
index number.
Synchronize RTC Time With GPS Time
The Real Time Clock ("RTC") is synchronized with GPS time automatically every time the
device is powered up and first acquires valid GPS data. Additionally, the RTC time is synched
with GPS time every time the GPS time rolls over from 23:59:59 to 00:00:01.
Reporting Frequency
The minimum reporting frequency of the device is as follows:
Periodic reporting is limited to a maximum of 1 per 6 seconds.
The general reporting interval is 1 message every 2 seconds.

Inserting The SIM
The SIM card is not provided with the MT 3060 device. The SIM must be obtained
from the GSM/GPRS service provider and must be provisioned by the operator
for data. Always take care to protect the SIM. Without the SIM installed, the MT
3060 modem is not able to communicate with the network.
Insert the SIM using the following steps:
1. After you have removed the device cover locate the SIM holder within the device. The
SIM is inserted through the slot in the Cellular Antenna.
2. Insert the SIM into the SIM holder of the MT 3060.
3. Replace the cover (as described below).

1. Place the MT 3060 cover onto the base of the device as shown in the following figure.
2. Apply gentle downward pressure to the back of the cover first, and carefully slide the
cover into place.
3. Apply gentle down and forward pressure to the front of the cover until it snaps shut.
Figure 3-5 MT 3060 Cover Replacement
Activating The Device
Verizon Activation:
To activate with Verizon, the user must contact Verizon and provide the MEID of the device to
the provider. Once Verizon has acknowledged that the device is ready to activate, the user
will then be required to send an activation string to the network.
Send the activation string: AT+CDV*22899. This will initiate a call with the network. A
successful call will last approximately 40 seconds. If the call is terminated within 10-15
seconds, the call was not successful. Multiple attempts might be required. If the call is not
successful after a few attempts, please check the MEID of the device and compare it with the
MEID provided to the provider.
To verify that the activation has successfully completed, attempt a voice call AT+CDVxxxxxx.
If the call is successful, then the over-the-air provisioning was successful.
As part of the activation process, the network will download a new PRL. The device will reset
after the PRL is successfully reset to allow the new PRL to take effect.
- 21 -
Sprint Activation:
To activate with Sprint, the user must contact Sprint and provide the MEID of the device.
After the MEID is provided to Sprint, the user will need to power on the device when
instructed by the carrier. The device will automatically activate when it attaches to the
network. For the first attempt the user should see a series of unsolicited reports. If the device
gets to +HFA: 6, the device has successfully activated. This process can take up to 60 seconds
to complete. AT+HFA? can be used to query the activation state. A response of 1 means the
device is successfully activated. A response of 0 means that it has not.
An unsuccessful activation attempt may take up to 5 minutes, because of the number of
retries specified by the carrier.
As part of the activation process, the network will download a new PRL. The device will reset
after the PRL is successfully reset to allow the new PRL to take effect.
Device Installation
Make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground prior to installing the MT 3060.
Instructions provided in this section describe the hardware installation of the MT 3060
device. To install the MT 3060 in a vehicle, follow these steps:
1. Locate the OBDII socket. The location will vary between different vehicle manufacturers,
models, and production years.
2. Carefully insert the MT 3060 into the OBDII socket.
3. After the device is installed, the GPS lock and the cellular connection LEDs will validate
that the device is working properly.
The MT 3060 is NOT a waterproof or sealed device. Keep the device away from
water or any other liquids.
- 22 -
Figure 3-6 Typical OBDII Socket Location
The device starts the accelerometer auto-calibration process immediately after
the device is installed and the vehicle's ignition is turned on.
Accelerometer Calibration
The accelerometer undergoes an automatic calibration sequence on the first drive after any of
the following events:
Device installation
Software upgrade
Vehicle battery replacement (or recharge if battery was fully discharged)
Device auxiliary processor reset
Failure to follow the process below could cause an undesired behavior of the
motion feature. Failure to drive straight on level ground during the automatic
calibration may reduce the accuracy of the accelerometer and have an adverse
impact on events triggered by accelerometer readings.
- 23 -
1. Make sure the vehicle is parked on level ground prior to installing the MT 3060.
2. Drive the vehicle in a straight path on level ground during the automatic calibration. An
inclined surface will put part of the gravity vector into the XY plane, which will affect the
acceleration thresholds. (A 5.7 degree angle will place 10% of the gravity vector into the
XY plane.)
When the vehicle passes 32 KPH, the auxiliary processor assumes that the vehicle
is moving in a straight line and determines the forward axis.

Backup Battery
The primary function of the backup battery in the MT 3060 is to allow a user to be notified
when the device is removed from the vehicle.
Input Event 63 can be used to trigger an output event that can be configured in the same
manner as the other output events. If the modem is off (to save power), this event will be
turned on. If GPS data is configured in the output event and the data is not available, the last
known position can be configured to be used in the output message.
AT$OBDBBT is used to configure the time (in seconds) that the device will stay powered
after removal from the vehicle. The range is 30-6000 with the default being 600. In addition,
to prevent damage to the battery, the device will turn itself off when the battery reaches the
level determined to be the lowest “safe” value.
If the configured output message has not been sent when the timer or battery level dictates
that the device should shut down (and is configured to do so), it will be saved and sent the
next time the device registers on the network.
Metal Lever
