Personal Use is mentioned in the FMCSAs Supplemental Proposal, which was published on March 28, 2014, that mandates ELDs for most drivers of CMVs that currently log. The proposal says that ELDs may be set up to allow drivers to put themselves in a special driving category called personal use. When a driver selects this option, the ELD will record the time as off duty until the driver de-selects the option. Off Road, on the other hand, means that the vehicle is running on rough terrain. Lastly, Yard Moves, has been established under a mandate which allows a driver or another personnel to perform duties like moving trucks around the home yard by establishing a single set of thresholds for all ELDs in an On Duty, not Driving status without triggering the device by reaching the thresholds. 3.3 Recap Page 30 Tap the Recap button to bring up the recap information for the specified duty day and corresponding cycle data. 1 (866) 702-7887| [email protected] | www.astus.com 30 3.4 Start Break The Start Break button will be disabled when the duty status is Off Duty, Sleeper Berth or Waiting at Well Site.

The ELD accommodates the entry of an output file comment up to 60 characters long. Prior to saving the drivers ELD file to an external storage/device, the ELD must read a verification text file from the USB device provided by the Authorized Safety Officials. This can be done by selecting the path where the verification file is located on the Safety Officials USB device. Page 35 If the verification process is successful, a Verification Successful dialog will display. 1 (866) 702-7887| [email protected] | www.astus.com 35 Once OK button is tapped, then the driver can now select on where to save the ELD file. Upon confirmation, the ELD generates the compliant output file and performs the data transfer. A toast message will display at the bottom stating that the ELD Output File Transferred. Note: You cannot transfer a file via USB when the verification file on the device is not the same as the verification file on the inspectors USB drive. If this issue occurs a toast message will display stating Invalid verification file. Transfer via Email - this option enables the user to transfer files through email. The ELD output file transferred is encrypted using AES-256 in FIPS Publication 197. Before sending, the ELD prompts for an output file comment which the driver may enter (optional). 36 After the data transfer process is successful, a toast message will then display at the bottom stating that ELD Output File Transferred.

The recorded malfunctions and data diagnostic events are inconsistencies found while monitoring the app/ELD against FMCSA compliance requirements. These instances are indicated in the application header and in the Android notification toolbar with the letters M and D, respectively. Note: The ELD Data Diagnostic indicator provides notification of active data diagnostics events applicable to the active driver. The Data Diagnostics D icon will flash in amber color if there are new active Data Diagnostics events that is not yet reviewed by the driver and will only turn back to white once the Data Diagnostic dialog is closed after being reviewed by the driver.

S / Trans MF Data Transfer Malfunction (a) An ELD must implement inservice monitoring functions to verify that the data transfer mechanism(s) described in section 4.9.1 of this appendix are continuing to function properly. An ELD must verify this functionality at least once every 7 days. These monitoring functions may be automatic or may involve manual steps for a driver. (c) After an ELD records a data transfer data diagnostic event, the ELD must increase the frequency 1 (866) 702-7887| [email protected] | www.astus.com 66 66 4.6.1.7 R / DR MF Page 4.6.1.5 An ELD must monitor elapsed time during periods when the ELD fails to acquire a valid position measurement within 5 miles of the CMVs movement. When such elapsed time exceeds a cumulative 60 minutes over a 24-hour period, the ELD must set and record a positioning compliance malfunction. An ELD must monitor its storage capacity and integrity and must detect a data recording compliance malfunction if it can no Data Recording longer record or retain required Malfunction events or retrieve recorded logs that are not otherwise catalogued remotely by the motor carrier. 4.6.1.8 O / Other MF Other Malfunction of the monitoring function to check at least once every 24-hour period. If the ELD stays in the unconfirmed data transfer mode following the next three 90 consecutive monitoring checks, the ELD must detect a data transfer compliance malfunction. In addition to the required monitoring schemes described in sections 4.6.1.1 4.6.1.7 of this appendix, the ELD provider may implement additional, technologyspecific malfunction and data diagnostic detection schemes and may use the ELDs malfunction status indicator and data diagnostic status indicator (described in sections 4.6.2.1 and 4.6.3.1) to communicate the ELDs malfunction or non-compliant state to the operator(s) of the ELD. 4.6.1.1 Event Code 1 / Pwd Diag Event Name Description Power Diagnostic An ELD must monitor data it receives from the engine ECM or alternative sources as allowed in sections 4.3.1.1-4.3.1.4 of this appendix, its onboard sensors, and data record history to identify instances when it may not have complied with the power requirements specified in section 4.3.1.1, in which case, the ELD must record a power data diagnostics event for the corresponding driver(s), or under 1 (866) 702-7887| [email protected] | www.astus.com 67 Page Requirement No. 67 Data Diagnostic Events 4.6.1.4 (d) 3 / Miss Diag 1 (866) 702-7887| [email protected] | www.astus.com 68 68 2 / Sync Diag Page 4.6.1.2 the unidentified driver profile if no drivers were authenticated at the time of detection. An ELD required to establish a link to the engine ECM as described in section 4.2 must monitor its connectivity to the engine ECM and its ability to retrieve the vehicle parameters described Engine under section 4.3.1 of this Synchronization appendix and must record an Diagnostic engine-synchronization data diagnostics event when it no longer can acquire updated values for the ELD parameters required for records within 5 seconds of the need. If a new ELD event must be recorded at an instance when the ELD had failed to acquire a valid position measurement within the most recent elapsed 5 miles of driving, but the ELD has not yet set a positioning compliance malfunction, the ELD must record the character X in both the latitude and longitude fields, Missing Data unless location is 88 entered Elements manually by the driver, in which Diagnostic case it must log the character M instead. Under the circumstances listed in this paragraph, if the ELD event is due to a change in duty status for the driver, the ELD must prompt the driver to enter location manually in accordance with section 4.3.2.7 of this appendix. If the driver does not enter the location information and the 4.6.1.8 Data Transfer Diagnostic 5 / Unid Diag Unidentified Driver Diagnostic 6 / Other Diag Other Diagnostic (c) An unidentified driving records data diagnostic event can be cleared by the ELD when driving time logged under the unidentified driver profile for the current 24hour period and the previous 7 consecutive days drops to 15 minutes or less. In addition to the required monitoring schemes described in sections 4.6.1.1 4.6.1.7 of this appendix, the ELD provider may implement additional, technologyspecific malfunction and data diagnostic detection schemes and may use the ELDs malfunction status indicator and data 1 (866) 702-7887| [email protected] | www.astus.com 69 69 4.6.1.6 4 / Trans Diag Page 4.6.1.7 vehicle is in motion, the ELD must record a missing required data element data diagnostic event for the driver.
