| Data Transfer Methods | Coretex has designed a 'vizor card' for carriage within each vehicle. It shows graphically and with words what the driver,law enforcement officer is required to do to perform a roadside inspection. As there is no option to paste images into this registration request, the words alone have been extracted from this document. Coretex is happy to provide a copy of this document if requested to. Coretex has implemented the following data transfer mechanisms: Web Services Email Roadside Inspection If an FMCSA agent asks you to present your driver logs, be prepared to allow the inspector to examine and,or transfer the logs to the FMCSA. The inspector is required only to see log data as displayed via the Roadside Inspecton screen. Logs cannot be edited during this process. This Quick Guide will show you how to access the Roadside Inspecton from Coretex Drive. 1. Access your driver logs - In normal operaton, tap the Home key to return to the dashboard. - Tap MENU to present the dashboard menu - Tap View Logs to present your driver Logs screen. 2 From the Driver Logs screen a graph of your status through the current day is presented by status, hour on the default graph. Log data is available for today’s date and the prior seven days. 3. Proceed to Roadside Inspection Tap ROADSIDE INSPECTION to present your Roadside Inspecton screen. Hand the tablet to the inspector. The inspector can examine all the required statistics for the current driver and their available logs covering today’s date and the previous seven days. The inspector can navigate to the log date/s they want to inspect using the Previous Day or Next Day butons. 4. Unidentifed driving events Tap UNIDENTIFIED to view the Unidentifed Driving Events screen, proceed to step 5. 5. Option to Data Transfer From the Roadside Inspection screen the inspector has the opton to have all available driver logs sent to FMCSA. Tap DATA TRANSFER to present the EXPORT DATA FILE dialog Here you can easily transfer a copy of the driver logs, and have them sent directly to FMCSA. To export and transfer the data Tap either Web Service or Email as the preferred delivery protocol. The inspector can enter an optional comment to be lodged with the entry. Tap SEND to export and transfer the file. The export and transfer is completed and you are returned to the Roadside Inspection screen.

| Malfunction Notes | Coretex has designed a quick guide that explains the function of data diagnostics and malfunctions. It shows graphically and with words what each of them are and an explanation as to what to take note of and any actions required. As there is no option to paste images into this registration request, the words alone have been extracted from this document. Coretex is happy to provide a copy of this document if requested to. Data Diagnostics and Malfunctions Dealing with Data Diagnostic, Malfunction events ELD functionality in Coretex DRIVE caters for a number of error conditions that are flagged as data diagnostic or malfunction events. These are detailed here describing the codes, their descriptions, likely causes and response or resolution. Data Diagnostic events These events are when your ELD detects a data inconsistency such that you are triggered to follow the recommendations of the ELD provider to resolve the inconsistency. Note: Refer to Section 49 CFR 395.34c of the FMCSA regulations. In this section: 1 Power data diagnostic 2 Engine synchronization data diagnostic 3 Missing required data elements data diagnostic 4 Data transfer data diagnostic 5 Unidentified driving records data diagnostic Data Diagnostic codes Note: Refer to the ELD mandate on what you must do when there is a diagnostic event. Code Event Description 1 Power data diagnostic An ELD must monitor the data it receives, from the engine ECM or alternative sources, and data record history, or record a power data diagnostic event, to identify instances when it may not. Resolve driver can resolve Cause ELD not full functional within one minute of turning the engine on wiring or power source fault Code Event Description 2 Engine synchronization data diagnostic An ELD is required to establish a link to the engine ECM, and must record an engine synchronization diagnostic event, when it loses that link for more than five seconds. Resolve driver can resolve Cause wiring or power source fault Code Event Description 3 Missing required data elements data diagnostic An ELD must monitor the completeness of the ELD event record information in relation to the required data elements for each event type. It must record a missing required data element data diagnostic event for you, if any required fields are missing at the time of recording. Resolve driver can resolve Cause temporary or permanent loss of GPS signal intermittent or disconnected link to the vehicle ECM Code Event Description 4 Data transfer data diagnostic The ELD will automatically test the data transfer mechanism every seven days. A Data transfer data diagnostic event is triggered when the automatic test fail. Resolve might auto resolve Cause the scheduled automatic data transfer failed connectivity with the ELD host service is required for a successful test. Code Event Description 5 Unidentified driving records data diagnostic If more than 30 mins. of driving in a 24 hour period shows as ‘unidentified driver’ on the ELD, it must detect and record an unidentified driving record data diagnostic event. The data diagnostic indicator must be turned on for all drivers logged into that ELD for the current 24 hour period and the following seven days. Resolve driver can resolve Cause more than 30 mins combined vehicle use without a logged-in user Resolving Data Diagnostic events You must attend to data diagnostic events from your Coretex DRIVE dashboard. Codes Description 1 tap on the information card as an acknowledgement that you have been alerted to it 2 the card will clear when the condition ends 3 information cards appear on your dashboard with the title Data Diagnostics, and then the title of the particular data diagnostic tap on each in turn from the Driver Log View screen the log entry with a data diagnostic will highlight in a different color tap on the entry to edit the log to resolve the issue 4 tap on the information card as an acknowledgement that you have been alerted to it 5 tap the information card for the Unidentified Driver Records data diagnostic that appears on your dashboard the Unidentified Driving Records screen appears with entries in a list tap each in turn and assign to your log if these events belong to you Malfunction events Malfunction events are when the ELD detects technical compliance issues. You must: notify the motor carrier within 24 hours reconstruct the record of duty status for the current 24 hours and the last seven days on graph paper logs keep paper logs until the ELD is serviced and brought back into compliance Note: Refer to Section 49 CFR 395.34c of the FMCSA regulations. In this section: P Power compliance E Engine synchronization compliance T Timing compliance L Positioning compliance R Data recording compliance S Data transfer compliance Malfunction codes Code Event Description P Power compliance An ELD must monitor the data it receives from the engine ECM and set a power compliance malfunction event to identify instances when it may not have complied with the power requirements Resolve driver can resolve Cause more than 30 mins of driving time lost in a 24 hour period Code Event Description E Engine synchronization compliance An ELD must set an engine synchronization compliance malfunction, if connectivity to any of the required data sources is lost for more than 30 mins during a 24 hour period, aggregated across all driver profiles. Resolve driver can resolve Cause more than 30 mins without ECM engine synchronization over a 24 hour period Code Event Description T Timing compliance The ELD must periodically cross-check its time with an external UTC source, and must record a timing compliance malfunction when it can no longer meet the underlying timing requirement of less than 10 mins of time deviation. Resolve driver can resolve Cause vehicle has been out of service for sufficient time that the internal clock is no longer accurate, and the ELD has not yet synchronized its time you are recommended to ensure that the tablet’s Settings is set to using automatic time synchronization Code Event Description L Positioning compliance An ELD must monitor elapsed time during periods when the ELD fails to acquire a valid position measurement within five miles of the vehicle’s movement, when such elapsed time exceeds a cumulative 60 mins over a 24 hour period, the ELD must set and record a Positioning compliance malfunction. Resolve might auto resolve Cause more than 60 mins without a valid GPS reading in a 24 hour period Code Event Description R Data recording compliance An ELD must monitor its storage capacity and integrity, and must detect a data recording compliance malfunction, if it can no longer: record or retain required events retrieve recorded logs that are not otherwise cataloged remotely by the motor carrier Resolve driver can not resolve Cause hardware fault Code Event Description S Data transfer compliance 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 consecutive monitoring checks, the ELD must detect and record a data transfer compliance malfunction. This fault auto-resolves when the device begins to communicate successfully. Resolve might auto resolve Cause failure to communicate for three days following a data transfer data diagnostic event |
| Certifying Statement | Certifying Statement of FMCSA Regulation Testing Coretex has tested and compared its ELD functionality in full against the Electronic Logging Device Test Plan and Procedures, dated 10.17.2016, Version 2.0 as published by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. Coretex appointed two independent persons, separated operationally and from outside the Coretex company to impartially test Coretex's compliance with the above mentioned Test Plan and Procedures. Three hundred and fifteen individuals tests, from the documentation, have been tested and checked against the requirements. All tests have passed and are compliant. Coretex also understands that the process is self-certification and if any discrepancies are found then Coretex is required to resolve any issues within sixty days. Coretex's ELD solution exceeds the functionality requirements of the Test Plan and Procedures and these items have been tested in unison with the mandated requirements. External tests have also been completed against the recently released web services from the FMCSA for checking the Roadside Inspection File output format. Coretex also understands that future releases of its ELD solution will require to be compliant against the Test Plan and Procedures from the FMCSA as and when either changes.
