76 Managing your Fleet with the  VDO RoadLog™ SystemChapter 1:  VDO RoadLog™ Fleet Management Software1.  Managing your Fleet with the  VDO RoadLog™ SystemVDO RoadLog was designed to allow Drivers, Fleets and Owner Operators to record and report Hours of Service (HOS), Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR), Fuel Tax Reporting and other data quickly and easily, and without monthly fees.VDO RoadLog Fleet Management Software lets you collect and manage that data to ensure that your fleet complies with regulations. By having accurate data on hand, Fleet Managers and Owner Operators can see if they are operating within regulations, and where changes need to be made to improve efficiency and increase profits.RoadLog eliminates the chance of manual logbook entry errors that can result in big fines. RoadLog printouts provide all the information that a manual log provides and more, but RoadLog is faster, easier and more accurate, for both the Driver and the Compliance Officer. The VDO RoadLog Fleet Management Software generates accurate, up-to-date reports far quicker than paper-based methods, saving time and money. RoadLog Fleet Management Software can manage an unlimited number  of Drivers and trucks. And, since the RoadLog Fleet Management Software is a one-time purchase, it  represents an excellent value compared to subscription-based solutions.RoadLog records a range of data that helps make trucking operations safer and more efficient: •  Hours-of-Service (HOS) according to US rules•   Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports (DVIR) according to US rules•  International Fuel Tax Agreement (IFTA) •  International Registration Plan (IRP) RoadLog’s software is flexible and up-dateable to meet anticipated DOT compliance requirements. Free upcoming software updates will include: •  Hours-of-Service (HOS) according to Canadian rules •  Vehicle Inspection and Repair Maintenance (DVIR) according to Canadian rules•  Compliance with Alaska and oilfield rulesEntry errors in traditional paper logbooks interfere with your asset tracking and operations planning. They can also lead to big fines! The RoadLog system is faster, easier and more accurate, for both the Driver and the fleet manager or compliance officer. Permission to access data from RoadLog and the Fleet Management Software is possible only with the Driver Key or Fleet Key USBs, so that data is fully protected and tamper resistant, to ensure data integrity and data privacy.VDO RoadLog Fleet Management Software is used in conjunction with: •  VDO RoadLog – the in-vehicle device that records vehicle and Driver activities.•  VDO RoadLog Driver Key – a proprietary USB drive that allows Drivers to log in to RoadLog and that is used to transfer data between RoadLog and the PC that is running the Fleet Management Software. The Driver Key can also transfer Driver data between vehicles, if the Driver uses different vehicles through out the workday/workweek. The Driver Key can also enable use of a limited feature set of the Fleet Management Software.•  VDO RoadLog Fleet Key – a proprietary USB drive that is required to log in to the Fleet Management Software, assuring the integrity and authenticity of your RoadLog data files. •  The Fleet Key and Driver Keys are also used to transfer data between the PC that is running the Fleet Management Software and the RoadLog device.Driver KeyFleet Key

The Fleet Management Software provides warnings to remind you to perform downloads regularly. Download Warnings are displayed to the Driver three days before the oldest data is overwritten by default. The default download warnings can be modified to your preference.The download warnings are as follows:Drivers download warning for data due every 30 days:  30-day data must be downloaded before the end of the 30th day, or the oldest data will be lost. The “Drivers download warning for data due every 30 days” sets the number of days before the end of the 30th day that the Driver receives a reminder to download data before it is lost. The RODS download warning time: RODS data must be periodically downloaded or the oldest data will be lost. The “RODS download warning time” sets how far in advance the Driver receives a warning before it is lost.

Backup files are not affected; the Fleet Management Software keeps a copy of those files in the backup folder.Note: The backup folder location is defined in the Company Configuration / Application tab in the Backup Path field. To choose the backup location:•  Click Company Configuraton in the main navigation.•   Click the Application tab.•  Click on the ••• button and navigate to the directory/folder you want to use. •  When you’ve selected the directory/folder, click Open.You may want to periodically purge old data from the Driver or Fleet Key, manually. As it is used, the Driver Key will continue to accumulate data. The Key will eventually fill up and need to be purged of old data. To manually purge older data from the the Driver or Fleet Key:•  Click Support in the main navigation. •  Click Purge RoadLog Key file. The default choice is to purge all records shown with a checkmark. •  If you want to purge only selected files, unclick the Purge All checkbox and select those you want to purge in the check box column. If you want to purge all, leave the box checked. •  Click OK. The selected records are purged from the RoadLog Key.Replacing Lost or  Damaged RoadLog KeysIf your Fleet Key or Driver Keys are ever lost or damaged, VDO Technical Support can replace them. They will assist you in restoring the data on the keys and enabling the new keys to work with your existing Fleet Management Software.Note: Buying a new key to replace a lost or damaged one is only one part of what you’ll need to do to restore your operations. Your Fleet Management Software records are tied to the specific serial numbers of your Fleet Key and Driver Keys. To enable your Fleet Management Software to work with new serial numbers, you’ll need assistance from VDO Technical Support.If you need to replace lost or damaged keys, contact VDO Technical Support:VDO RoadLog support personnel are available at:Technical Support & Customer ServiceEmail: RoadLog-support@vdo.comTel.: (855)-ROADLOG, or (855) 762-3564Fax: (800) 752-7224 or (610) 366-9837Customer service is available 8:00 am – 5:00 pm ESTEmail: RoadLog-sales@vdo.com www.vdoRoadLog.com8.  Resolving Conflict FilesUsing the Fleet Key and Driver Keys, data can be imported from the RoadLog Fleet Management Software to the RoadLog device, and from the RoadLog device to the Fleet Management Software. As a result of such data transfers, there may be instances of conflicting files, where data from the Fleet Management Software does not match the data from the RoadLog device. When the Fleet Management Software detects conflicting data, it will prompt you to resolve “Conflict Files.” You will need to choose which file to retain – the file generated at the RoadLog device or the File generated in the Fleet Management Software. Often, the newer file will be the correct one to retain, but there may be instances where the opposite is true. Check with the Driver who created the records in the RoadLog device to help determine where the conflict occurred and which record is the correct record to retain.IMPORTANT: When you choose the conflicting file to retain, it will overwrite the other record! Be sure to choose carefully before proceeding.
509.  Backing up your RoadLog DataMoving from paper logbooks to electronic fleet data does not change the regulatory requirements for maintaining compliance records. The US and Canada require that operators maintain HOS and other records for specific periods of time – in the US, for six months. You are legally responsible for maintaining that data. That means establishing a data backup routine and following it without exception. A daily backup is the best way to avoid falling out of legal compliance. Do not back up data to the same computer that holds your active Fleet Management Software. If it fails, you’ll lose your data and your backup. RoadLog Fleet Management Software supports easy backup with automatic reminders at intervals you select. You can backup RoadLog data to any storage location your PC can access – a USB memory stick, a CD or DVD, an external hard drive, a networked server or online “cloud” storage. In the Application settings tab, you can set in the back-up location, whether you want the back-up to take place automatically and how frequently.Any one Key, hard drive, or computer can fail, or be lost or stolen. So always back up to multiple storage devices. To guard against fire or other natural disasters, never keep all your backups in one location. We strongly recommend daily transport or copying of backups to an off-site location.Driver back up reminders at startupWhen you’ve used the Fleet Management Software for a period of time, you’ll see Driver backup reminders at startup. You’ll see a grid that lists Drivers along with the date of their last download, the date their next download is scheduled for and the number of days until the next download will be overdue. Backing up your RoadLog Data
5251   This chapter of the Owner’s Manual is intended to help you get your RoadLog device installed, up and running quickly and easily. BEFORE STARTING:•  To avoid damage to the vehicle or risk of electric shock, always confirm the location of electric wires and air lines by consulting the vehicle’s owner’s manual or your local vehicle repair facility.  If there is any uncertainty about the location of electric wires, disconnect the vehicle battery before drilling.•  Be careful when installing cable or wires to avoid kinks, knots or twisting in the line.•  Be certain cable/wires are not rubbing on sharp edges.RECOMMENDED TOOLS:1.  Make sure you have the correct Installation Kit!•  RoadLog can be connected with 6-pin, 9-pin, 16-pin OBDII or open-end “basic” cable. Only one cable is required. Choose the one that fits your connector or choose the open-end if you have no connector and will connect individual wires to the vehicle. (For basic cable, installation by a professional shop is recommended. When using the basic cable the ignition line should be connected.)•  Each cable is supplied with the basic installation bracket. Y-Cables are an optional upgrade that retain an open cable connector in the cab.2. Choose your Mounting Option.•  The “basic” bracket is included with each  installation kit.  The optional omni-directional mount  (Part #3290-90110100) allows for more mounting location options and greater control  of the viewing angle.• Drill •  Pen or pencil•  5mm Hex Key•  Tape measure•  Phillips & Flathead Screwdrivers16 pin direct OBDII Open end9 pin Y with ange9 pin direct6 pin direct 16 pin Y OBDII9 pin Y with ange w/plastic nut6 pin YOMNI-DIRECTIONAL MOUNT (optional)INSTALL OMNI-DIRECTIONAL MOUNT WITH DOUBLE-SIDED ADHESIVE OR WITH SCREWS AND WELL-NUTS.LOOSEN HANDLE ON MOUNT TO  REMOVE UPPER PORTION.

Overhead console driver’s left sideE.  Overhead console driver’s center sideF.  Overhead console driver‘s right side4. Attach your Bracket or Mount.•  The bracket or omni-directional mount can be attached with the adhesive foam pads or with screws and well-nut inserts supplied. When using the adhesive foam pads be sure to clean the surface with a single direction swipes by using an alcohol prep pad supplied in the installation kit. Let it dry and apply the tape. The tape will cure in 24-48 hours. The best results are achieved when the surface is warm, so you may want to warm up the cab if the ambient temperature is low.•  Screws and well-nut inserts will require drilling into the cab’s interior. If using screws, first mark the mounting holes using the bracket or omni-mount base plate as a guide. Make sure to avoid drilling into any electrical cables and air supply lines underneath the surface. •  If using well-nuts, use a 3/8” drill bit to create a hole in which to insert the well-nut shaft. Again, make sure to avoid drilling into the electrical cables and air supply lines underneath the surface.5. Prepare the RoadLog.•  Unpack the device. •  Remove the service panel on the underside. •  Insert the Battery. •  Connect the cable. •  Close the service panel. 6. Connect Cable.•  Run the cable from the RoadLog to the vehicle data port. The cable can be run behind the interior dash panels via gaps between them or by their removal where necessary. •  Secure the cable out of the driver’s range of motion and moving parts – coil up and secure the excess cable by using zip ties provided.•  Connect the cable to the vehicle data port. The device will power up and be ready for the initial on screen setup.•  NOTE: If using the Open End Cable, follow the wiring indications shown on Page 6.7. Install RoadLog into Mount.Basic bracket:Place the RoadLog device into the basic bracket and install the knobs. Adjust the screen view angle and then tighten the knobs. Omni-directional mount (optional):Loosen the handle until the upper portion of the mount can be removed. Attach the upper mount to the underside of the RoadLog device using screws provided. Place the RoadLog device and upper mount back into the clamp and retighten while adjusting the screen view angle as required.8. Load Paper Roll.To load the paper roll (Part # 3290-90010100), lift the access panel at the top of the RoadLog, lay the paper roll into the cavity and pull the leading edge of the paper forward, towards the screen. The roll should be inserted so that when the paper comes out, it curls towards the back of the unit.  9. Compliance Sticker.Applying the included sticker to the window of your cab is optional, but doing so will ensure that anyone who sees it knows your vehicle is complying with FMCSA regulations. (Clean surface before applying.)Pry open the service panel with a small, athead screwdriver.  Plug the battery connector into the jack and place the battery into the holder. Check marking and plug the data cable. Attach the corrugated pipe.Close the service panel again and insert the three screws included in the box.1Cable ports are usually located in the dash (1) or on the oor to the left of the driver’s seat (2).IMPORTANT: Choose a location that will allow easy operation, but will not block your view of the road.NOTE: The unit must be placed a minimum of 10 inches (20cm) away from the driver.DEFABCCorrect roll orientation Incorrect roll orientationElectronic  Driver Lo      gs2
5655   Instructions for Open End “Basic” CableIf using the Open End “Basic” Cable, follow the pin / wire color assignments from the table:Note: If the vehicle ignition line is accessible during RoadLog installation, it’s recommended that the ignition line be connected with the device (see vehicle connector). If the ignition line is connected, it’s recommended that the  Wake up condition configuration parameter be set to the ignition only setting.For the vehicles in which the ignition line is not accessible, RoadLog can detect the vehicle ignition on  / off status based on the vehicle synchronization data received. Therefore, if the ignition line is not connected, the Wake up condition configuration parameter should be set to the ignition or vehicle data setting. See Setting the Wake up conditionIf the ignition or vehicle configuration setting is chosen, the installer must verify that RoadLog is in fact receiving  the ignition on  / off status  based on the received vehicle synchronization data. If the status is not being received, RoadLog cannot function properly.Pin NoSignal Name DescriptionWire Color PurposeNotes /  Connection1TERM15 Terminal 15 ignition signalBrown Input of vehicle ignition line2TERM30 Terminal 30 power supply voltageRed Supply line from vehicle battery (+)3CAN1_H CAN1 High LineCAN_H connection to vehicle CAN bus (J1939-11/15)Must be twisted together with CAN1-L wire4TERM31 Terminal 31power supply groundBlack Ground line, GND5CAN1_L CAN1 Low LineCAN_L connection to vehicle CAN bus (J1939-11/15)Must be twisted together with CAN1-H wire6CAN1_GNDCAN 1 groundCAN_GND connection to vehicle CAN bus (J1939-11/15)7J1708 (+) RS484 line A J1708 (+) connection to vehicle SAE J1708 bus8J1708 (-) RS484 line B J1708 (-) connection to vehicle SAE J1708 bus9SPEED_INSpeed pulse signal input Vehicle speed pulse input from vehicle speed sensor (ISO16844)10 RPM_IN Revolution pulse signal input RPM pulse input from vehicle engine controller ECU11 CAN2_H CAN2 HighLineCAN_H connection to proprietary CAN bus (third party device connection)Must be twisted together with CAN2-L wire12 CAN2_L CAN2 Low LineCAN_L connection to proprietary CAN bus (third party device connection)Must be twisted together with CAN2-H wire13 CAN2_GNDCAN2 ground CAN_GND connection to proprietary CAN bus (third party device connection)14 DIGITAL_IN1Digital input 1 Digital input (tri-state: not used (high-Z)/ high-level active input/ low-level active input)15 DIGITAL_IN2Digital input 2 Digital input (tri-state: not used (high-Z)/ high-level active input/ low-level active input)16 RFU Not used Reserved for future useOBDII connector pin assignments(front view)OBDII-Pin Description Pin LocationChassis ground 4CAN_H line of ISO 15765-4 6CAN_L line of ISO 15765-4 14Permanent positive voltage 166145134129110211315716812111098712345613141516The basic cable has a total of 8 wires and only Pins 1, 2 and 4 are connected: ignition, battery ( + ) and ground ( – ), respectively.

5857VDO RoadLog Fundamentals  VDO RoadLog Fundamentals 1.  VDO RoadLog FundamentalsRoadLog is designed to eliminate the need for paper logs, while keeping Drivers in compliance with all FMCSA Hours of Service (HOS) and Driver Vehicle Inspection Report (DVIR) regulations. Free upcoming software updates will include reporting on IFTA mileage and IRP miles and compliance with rules for Canada, Alaska and oil field.With RoadLog, a Driver can:•  Automatically calculate and display HOS daily driving availability, HOS daily duty availability and HOS weekly duty availability based on the limits imposed by FMCSA regulations.•  Record Off Duty Status activities (RODS data). RoadLog will store the RODS data for the current day and the previous 14 calendar days. •  Receive audio and visual warnings before exceeding the driving and HOS duty limits and receive warnings again after exceeding the driving and HOS duty limits.•  Take exemptions from HOS rules when required (personal use, emergency conditions, adverse driving conditions, 16-hour extension and 100 and 150 air-miles radius Driver).•  View and print the HOS daily log for the current day as well as each of the past 14 days.•  Assign up to three trailers to the trip.•  Assign up to five shipping documents to the trip.•  Create, view and print pre-trip and post-trip DVIRs by entering data for the vehicle and the current trailers.•  Comply with roadside inspections by proving HOS logs and DVIRs via data transfer on USB or by printing them directly from RoadLog’s built-in thermal printer.•  Record various trip activities such as meals, fueling and vehicle wash and print out Supporting Documents for these activities directly from the RoadLog’s built-in thermal printer.•  Download vehicle data and DVIR data recorded by RoadLog over the course of the past 30 calendar days to any Fleet Key or Driver Key belonging to the logged-in company.•  Carry data from one vehicle to another if he/she changes vehicles in a fleet.•  At the end of each day’s work, log out and download RODS data to the Driver Key and submit that data to the company.Operating RoadLog:The key functions required to operate RoadLog include:Company Log In: Before any Driver can log in to RoadLog, the company must be logged in so that all the data can be recorded under a company account. Company log in can be done automatically with an activated Fleet Key.Note: More than one company can share a single RoadLog, but only one company can be logged in at a time.RoadLog Configuration:RoadLog configuration requires setting vehicle and company parameters such as VIN, language preference and vehicle license plate number. Configuration data can be entered directly through the RoadLog touch screen, or data can be entered into the Fleet Software and transferred to the RoadLog via the Fleet Key. Note: Company data cannot be transferred to RoadLog via the Driver Key. Important: Serial number of the RoadLog vehicle unit needs to match the serial number provided during the tractor creation process in the Fleet Software.Driver Log In / Log Out:Drivers must log in on their RoadLog at the beginning of the work period, whether they’re about to begin Driving or going On Duty. Drivers can log in and log out automatically, with their personalized Driver Key, or manually through the RoadLog Touch Screen, provided they were logged in with their Driver Key at an earlier time, or their Driver Profile has been uploaded to RoadLog via the Fleet Key.Data Download / Upload:Data recorded by RoadLog is downloaded to the Driver Key for transfer to the Fleet Software. Once entered in the Fleet Software, the data can be analyzed and archived to maintain compliance with FMSCA regulations. Data can be transferred using a personalized Driver Key or the  Fleet Key.When a Driver logs in with a Driver Key, RoadLog automatically uploads status data (RODS data) recorded during past work sessions. When a driver downloads or uploads data, both Driver and company-related data is transferred. Chapter 3: VDO RoadLog™ Operation

6261VDO RoadLog Fundamentals  VDO RoadLog Fundamentals Printer RoadLog has a built-in thermal printer to print roadside reports. Since it’s a thermal printer, no ink is ever required. VDO RoadLog brand paper is fade-resistant.To load the paper roll, lift the access panel at the top of the RoadLog, lay the paper roll into the cavity and pull the leading edge of the paper forward, towards the screen. The roll should be inserted so that when the paper comes out, it curls towards the back of the unit, not forward towards the screen. If the paper curls forward, take the roll out and reverse the orientation. Close the lid and tear the leading edge flush with a downward motion. Note: when a red line appears on the printout, it indicates the end of the paper roll. The roll needs to be replaced.Note: The head of the printer may get hot! Do not touch the printer head as this may cause burns!Note: Use only VDO RoadLog brand paper rolls! Using non-approved paper can damage the unit and void the warranty.GPS Antenna / Connector RoadLog has a built-in GPS receiver and antenna, allowing it to acquire and record position data along with RODS data. When a strong GPS signal is received, the bar below the on-screen GPS icon turns green. If the signal is not strong enough to compute location, a red bar is displayed below the on-screen GPS icon.To improve the signal reception, an external GPS antenna is available as an optional accessory. Note: Use only the VDO RoadLog external GPS antenna. Non-approved antenna may not provide correct performance.Connector CablesA variety of cable options are offered. See VDO RoadLog Installation for details. Learn more about connector cablesBatteryRoadLog has a built-in battery that’s used to maintain the date and time if power becomes unavailable.
