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 Tap the Recap button to bring up the recap information for the specified duty day and corresponding cycle data Page 31 (888) 643-6862 | [email protected] | www.locusgps.com Locus GPS 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.

An ELD must set an engine synchronization compliance malfunction if connectivity to any of the required data sources Engine specified in section 4.3.1 of this E / Sync MF Synchronization 87 appendix is lost for more than Malfunction 30 minutes during a 24-hour period aggregated across all driver profiles, including the unidentified driver profile. The ELD must periodically crosscheck its compliance with the requirement specified in section 4.3.1.5 of this appendix with Timing respect to an accurate external T / Timing MF Malfunction UTC source and must record a timing compliance malfunction when it can no longer meet the underlying compliance requirement. ELD records requiring location Position L / Pos MF information must use the last Malfunction valid position measurement and Page 65 (888) 643-6862 | [email protected] | www.locusgps.com Locus GPS include the latitude/longitude coordinates and distance traveled, in miles, since the last valid position measurement. 4.6.1.5 4.6.1.7 R / DR MF S / Trans MF 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 Data Recording no longer record or retain Malfunction required events or retrieve recorded logs that are not otherwise catalogued remotely by the motor carrier. 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. Page 66 (888) 643-6862 | [email protected] | www.locusgps.com Locus GPS 4.6.1.8 O / Other MF Other Malfunction (c) After an ELD records a data transfer data diagnostic event, the ELD must increase the frequency 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, technology-specific 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 noncompliant state to the operator(s) of the ELD. Data Diagnostic Events Requirement No. 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, Page 67 (888) 643-6862 | [email protected] | www.locusgps.com Locus GPS 4.6.1.2 2 / Sync Diag 4.6.1.4 (d) 3 / Miss Diag 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 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 Missing Data driving, but the ELD has not yet Elements set a positioning compliance Diagnostic malfunction, the ELD must record the character X in both the latitude and longitude fields, unless location is 88 entered manually by the driver, in which case it must log the character M Page 68 (888) 643-6862 | [email protected] | www.locusgps.com Locus GPS 4.6.1.7 4.6.1.6 4 / Trans Diag Data Transfer Diagnostic 5 / Unid Diag Unidentified Driver Diagnostic 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 vehicle is in motion, the ELD must record a missing required data element data diagnostic event for the driver. (b) If the monitoring mechanism fails to confirm proper in-service operation of the data transfer mechanism(s), an ELD must record a data transfer data diagnostic event and enter an unconfirmed data transfer mode. (b) If more than 30 minutes of driving in a 24-hour period show unidentified driver on the ELD, the ELD must detect and record an unidentified driving records data diagnostic event and the data diagnostic indicator must be turned on for all drivers logged in to that ELD for the current 24hour period and the following 7 days. (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 24-hour period and the Page 69 (888) 643-6862 | [email protected] | www.locusgps.com Locus GPS 4.6.1.8 6 / Other Diag Other Diagnostic 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, technology-specific 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 noncompliant state to the operator(s) of the ELD.
