TRACKENSURE ELD Mod App User Manual

AOBRD TO ELD SWITCH

On the 16th of December 2019 all driver log books had to be switched to Electronic Logging Devices (ELD). In some cases AOBRD data could be lost if it was not transferred to the servers before the ELD switch took place. Please create a paper version of the missing data if this happened to you and submit it with your information to safety.trackensure@gmail.com

ANDROID and iOS DEVICES

Please avoid using two different devices, this is especially important for team drivers.
Drivers in a team must use one single mobile device to record both of their times. PT30 cannot be connected to two different mobile devices simultaneously and data will be lost.

A single driver may use multiple devices but only one at a time and if he does he must becareful that the data from one device was transferred to the server before he starts using a different mobile device.

It is possible to check if all of the data was transferred by looking at the Settings screen, checking the size of the Upload Queue is empty.

STATUS SCREEN

This is the main application screen, where most of the work should take place.

three lines in the top left corner – this is the Side Menu icon, click it to Log Out, to go to Hours of Service, Settings, DVIR/PTI, Fuel and Support
M/D – this is the Malfunction/Diagnostics icon, click it to view the current status of the system. This icon may become red due to loss of GPS signal or loss of PT30 signal or other malfunctions.
Chain – this is the internet/server connection indicator.
Truck – this is the truck/PT30 connection indicator. When the truck is red but ignition is on you can click on this icon to reconnect to your truck. When the truck is green you can click on it to disconnect from the truck.
Flag – USA or Canadian flag to view HOS rules for these countries.
Driver name – the name of the driver that is currently logged in. In case of team drivers, this is the name of the driver, whose logbook is currently on the screen in the Log section.

ELD automates record of driving time, because of this when the truck is connected to the app it should automatically detect change to driving status within 3-10 seconds from the start of driving.

When truck stops, DO NOT turn the ignition off until the Status wheel becomes active, then use the Status wheel to go to Off-Duty, to On-Duty or to Sleeper Berth. Do not use Logs->Insert event for this, just use the Status wheel.

If you do not wait turning off ignition until the Status Wheel activates, you will be stuck in DRIVING status.

ELD MALFUNCTIONS

There are three types of data diagnostic/malfunctions:
ELD MALFUNCTIONS

GPS – the only way to fix is to receive GPS signal.

GETTING STUCK IN DRIVING STATUS AND SWITCHING TO OFF

Log can get stuck in DRIVING if the app did not get the 0 speed event from the truck computer. This can happen if the driver turned the ignition off too quickly immediately after stopping the truck. To clear a stuck DRIVING event please turn truck ignition ON and wait until the 0 speed data is transferred from PT30 to the app. At this point the Status wheel should become active and the driver should be able to switch from driving to any other status.
