# OnStation & TransTech Systems Integration FAQs

## Frequently asked questions about the integration

### **General**

#### **Q: What is the OnStation & TransTech Systems integration?**

The integration connects TransTech's PQI 380 and PQI 380+ non-nuclear asphalt density gauges with OnStation's digital stationing platform. This allows for seamless transfer of compaction data, enhancing project accuracy and efficiency. 

#### **Q: What do I need to set up the integration?**

- An active TransTech Connect subscription.

- A compatible device: PQI 380 or PQI 380+.

- A minimum of 1 OnStation data license to view/export data out.

- A purchase of the integration.

#### **Q: Can OnStation support set up the integration for me?**

Due to SOC compliance, certain steps must be performed by the customer. However, OnStation support can guide you through the process via Teams or screen sharing. 

#### **Q: Should I share my ClientID with others?**

No. Your ClientID is sensitive information and should not be shared externally to maintain security protocols. 

### **Device Compatibility and Usage**

#### **Q: Which devices are compatible with the integration?**

Both the PQI 380 and PQI 380+ are compatible.

#### **Q: What's the difference between PQI 380 and PQI 380+?**

- **PQI 380**: Allows data export via USB. Measurements are saved as CSV files, which can be uploaded to TransTech Connect and then synced with OnStation.

- **PQI 380+**: Features instant data transfer. After taking a measurement, a QR code appears on the gauge. Scanning this code with the TransTech Connect mobile app automatically uploads the data, which can then be synced with OnStation.

### **PQI 380 Device**

#### **Q: How long will the PQI 380 last on a full charge?**

8–10 hours, depending on usage. 

#### **Q: When should I charge my PQI 380?**

When the voltage indicator on the status bar reads 6.5 volts. It’s also a good idea to charge the PQI 380 at the end of the workday. 

#### **Q: How long does it take to recharge the PQI 380?**

Approximately 4 hours. 

#### **Q: Will the PQI 380 operate while charging?**

No, the device cannot be used while charging. However, an external battery charger and second battery pack are available. 

#### **Q: How will I know when the PQI 380 is fully charged?**

When the LED indicator on the back of the gauge turns from red to green. 

#### **Q: Should the PQI 380 remain in its original shipped case?**

Yes. Each case includes a standardization plate that is unique to that specific gauge. 

#### **Q: Is it necessary to calibrate the PQI 380 annually?**

Yes, TransTech recommends annual calibration. 

#### **Q: Is the PQI 380 case waterproof?**

Yes. 

#### **Q: Can the PQI 380 be used to measure core samples from a job site?**

No.

### **Data Management**

#### **Q: How do I sync data from TransTech Connect to OnStation?**

- For PQI 380: Upload the CSV file to TransTech Connect, then manually sync the data to OnStation.

- For PQI 380+: After scanning the QR code, data is automatically uploaded to TransTech Connect. From there, it can be synced with OnStation.

#### **Q: How do I link projects between TransTech Systems and OnStation?**

1. Log into the OnStation Portal at [portal.onstationapp.com](https://portal.onstationapp.com/).
2. Navigate to **Integrations \> API Enabled Projects**.
3. Click on **Add Project** to enable OnStation projects to receive data from TransTech Connect.

#### **Q: Can OnStation support assist with project linking?**

Yes. OnStation admins can assist with project linking if provided with a written list of the projects to be associated. Contact support via email, support ticket, or text at 216-503-8554. 

### **Troubleshooting**

#### **Q: I don't see the "Configure OnStation Integration" option in TransTech Connect. What should I do?**

If this option isn't visible, contact your TransTech representative to ensure your subscription includes integration capabilities. 

#### **Q: My data isn't appearing in OnStation after syncing. What could be the issue?**

   
Ensure that: 

- The API key has access to the desired projects in TransTech Connect.

- The projects are correctly linked in the OnStation Portal.

- Data has been successfully uploaded to TransTech Connect.

If issues persist, contact OnStation support for assistance.
