3.1

Changing the connector

Step 1

Gently pull the rubber lock casings on both
sides of the connector outwards.

Here you can see the plastic lock inside each
rubber casing.

Step 2
Insert a small screwdriver or similar tool into
the gap between the plastic lock and the
device.
Ease the plastic lock out, away from the side of
the device.
Do the same for the lock on the other side too.

Step 3
Once both sides are unlocked, unplug the
white connector from the main body of the
device by pushing the small white lever on
the cable connector.

3.2

Inserting the new connector

In this example we will insert one of the
OBDII connectors.
Step 1

Remove the cap on the new connector to
expose the wires by pulling out the
rubber lock cases and plastic locks like
you did before.

Step 2
Take the small white plug wired into the
connector head and plug it into the back of the EZELD device.

Step 3
Twist the connector once so the wires wrap to
save space.

Step 4
Place the connector onto the module, pressing the
connectors gently into place.
You will hear two clicks when the locks engage.
The connector is now ready to use.

The connector can be mounted in one of two ways by rotating it 180.

3.3

Using the extension cable

If required due to limited space, the main EZ-ELD device can be mounted
away from the On-board diagnostic port.
In this example we will insert one of the OBDII connectors.

EZ-ELD main device

Extension Cable

Adapter cover
(top cover not used in
this example)

Double sided Adhesive pad

OBDII Connector

Step 1
Remove the adaptor cover by following the same process you used before
to unplug the connector from the EZ-ELD device (see section 3.1).

Step 2
Connect the end of the extension cable
with the smaller female connector on
the shiny lower adaptor cover.
Wrap the wires as before.

Step 3
Connect the other larger connector end of
the extension cable on the cover for the
OBDII or 6-pin/9-pin.
Twist the wires around.

Step 4
Plug the end of the extension cable with
the smaller female connector into the main
connector of the EZ-ELD device.

Step 5
Carefully position the connector on the
module and press gently until you hear two
clicks.

Step 6
Plug the other larger end of the extension
cable into the OBDII female connector.

Step 7
Position the connector on the end cap and
press until you hear two clicks.

It should look like this - the EZ-ELD device has the long cable extension
coming from it.

Step 8
Finally, stick the adhesive pad onto the
bottom of the module for mounting in the
cab.
Remove the backing from the adhesive pad
and then mount the device in a position of
your choosing.

Installation Instructions

1. Find the trucks diagnostic port. Its position depends on the vehicle
make and model. You might find the diagnostic port:

Under the dash or under the steering column/wheel on the left or
right,
On the left or right of the pedals, above the pedals,
Above the footrest,
In the fuse box,
Near the handbrake or the clutch pedal handbrake / footbrake.

In some cases you may have to remove a plastic cover to find the
connector.

2. Attach the device to the vehicles diagnostic port.
In the case of the 9-pin or 6-pin connector,
rotate the collar to line up the collar tabs with
the matching slot on the diagnostic port. Press
firmly until the EZ-ELD device is fully
connected. Then rotate the collar clockwise
until it locks.
In the case of the OBDII connector line up the
connector so it exactly matches the diagnostic port in the vehicle. Press
firmly until the EZ-ELD device is fully connected.
Note: During the App set up you will be required to enter the BT PIN code.
This can be found on the label on the underside of the EZ-ELD module
before you install it, on the QR code sticker or on the label on the back cover
of this manual.

395.34 ELD malfunctions and data diagnostic events
(a) Recordkeeping during ELD malfunctions. In case of an ELD malfunction,
a driver must do the following:

(1) Note the malfunction of the ELD and provide written notice of the
malfunction to the motor carrier within 24 hours;
(2) Reconstruct the record of duty status for the current 24-hour period and
the previous 7 consecutive days, and record the records of duty status on
graph-grid paper logs that comply with 395.8, unless the driver already
possesses the records or the records are retrievable from the ELD; and

(3) Continue to manually prepare a record of duty status in accordance
with 395.8 until the ELD is serviced and brought back into compliance with
this subpart.
(b) Inspections during malfunctions. When a driver is inspected for hours of
service compliance during an ELD malfunction, the driver must provide the
authorized safety official the driver's records of duty status manually kept as
specified under paragraphs (a)(2) and (3) of this section.
(c) Driver requirements during ELD data diagnostic events. If
an ELD indicates that there is a data inconsistency that generates a data
diagnostic event, the driver must follow the motor carrier's
and ELD provider's recommendations in resolving the data inconsistency.

(d) Motor carrier requirements for repair, replacement, or service.
(1) If a motor carrier receives or discovers information concerning the
malfunction of an ELD, the motor carrier must take actions to correct the
malfunction of the ELD within 8 days of discovery of the condition or
a driver's notification to the motor carrier, whichever occurs first.
(2) A motor carrier seeking to extend the period of time permitted for
repair, replacement, or service of one or more ELDs shall notify the FMCSA
Division Administrator for the State of the motor carrier's principal place of
business within 5 days after a driver notifies the motor carrier
under paragraph (a)(1) of this section. Each request for an extension under
this section must be signed by the motor carrier and must contain:
(i) The name, address, and telephone
carrier representative who files the request;

number

the

motor

(ii) The make, model, and serial number of each ELD;
(iii) The date and location of each ELD malfunction as reported by
the driver to the carrier; and

(iv) A concise statement describing actions taken by the motor carrier to
make a good faith effort to repair, replace, or service the ELD units,
including why the carrier needs additional time beyond the 8 days provided
by this section.

(3) If FMCSA determines that the motor carrier is continuing to make a good
faith effort to ensure repair, replacement, or service to address the
malfunction of each ELD, FMCSA may allow an additional period.
(4) FMCSA will provide written notice to the motor carrier of its
determination. The determination may include any conditions that FMCSA
considers necessary to ensure hours-of-service compliance. The
determination shall constitute a final agency action.
(5) A motor carrier providing a request for extension that meets the
requirements of paragraph (d)(2) of this section is deemed in compliance
with 395.8(a)(1)(i) and (a)(2) until FMCSA makes an extension
determination under this section, provided the motor carrier and driver
continue to comply with the other requirements of this section.
