-==One Minute Rule==
+'''DISCLAIMER:''' ''PLEASE MAKE SURE THE FMS PINOUT OF YOUR HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE IS AS REFERRED ON THE PROVIDED PINOUT SCHEME. IN CASE OF INCORRECT PINOUT PLEASE CONTACT YOUR HEAVY DUTY VEHICLE DEALERSHIP. THE CLIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL THE ISSUES, WHICH MIGHT OCCUR BY INCORRECT INSTALLATION.''
-The '''One Minute Rule''' is for situations when a driver is on a rest period but needs to move the vehicle briefly, for example, to clear a passage for another vehicle. Under normal circumstances, starting to move the vehicle would '''reset the rest period''', potentially affecting the driver’s working time calculation. The One Minute   Rule allows such short actions '''without interrupting the rest period''', under certain conditions.
-<b>How it works:</b>
+'''NOTE:''' ''Please use OBD devices with the latest firmware which has implemented J1939 protocol support.''
-*The tachograph analyzes the '''entire minute''' and determines which activity occupied the longest duration.
-*If the driver moves the vehicle for '''less than 30 seconds within a minute''', the device considers the '''dominant activity''' as rest, not driving.
-*As a result, the full minute is counted as part of the '''rest period''', and the driver does not need to restart the break.
-<b>Benefits:</b>
+==FMS Plug Location==
-*Ensures a realistic recording of the driver’s working and rest times.
+Even though the FMS cable is standardized cable – its placement in the vehicle might differ depending on manufacturer and depending on vehicle trim level.
-*Allows brief vehicle maneuvers during a rest period without formally interrupting it.
-*Simplifies activity reporting and prevents unintended violations of driving time regulations.
-==Tachograph Functional Rules==
+These examples identify the most common locations for the FMS plug.
-===Rule 038 – One Minute Rule===
-Rule 038 defines how tachographs record the driver’s activity in '''1-minute intervals'''. Instead of storing activity changes second-by-second, the tachograph processes all activity signals within the current minute and determines which activity was dominant.
+==== Behind the Fuse panel on passenger side – for Example SCANIA S/R/G/P Euro6 Series [[File:Scania R-series 1.3.png|frameless|1000x1000px]] ====
-<b>Logic:</b>
+==== Near the Fuse panel on passenger side – for example DAF XF Euro6 [[File:DAF XF 1.3.png|frameless|1000x1000px]] ====
-#The tachograph counts the number of seconds spent in each activity within the minute:
-#*Driving
-#*Other Work
-#*Availability
-#*Rest/Break
-#At the end of the minute, the device selects the activity with the longest duration.
-#The entire minute is recorded as that dominant activity.
-<b>Example:</b>
-*22 seconds of driving
-*38 seconds of rest
-The stored minute will be recorded as '''Rest'''.
+==== Behind the Radio on lower deck – for example Volvo FH Euro5 and Renault T Euro6 [[File:Volvo FH 1.3.png|frameless|1000x1000px]] ====
-This mechanism allows short movements during breaks without resetting the rest period.
+==== Behind the Tachograph on upper deck – for example Mercedes Actros MP5 Euro6 [[File:Mercedes Actros 1.3.png|frameless|1000x1000px]] ====
-===Rule 040 – Priority of Driver Activities===
-Rule 040 defines the priority hierarchy of activities when multiple activity inputs or triggers occur at the same time.
-It determines which activity should be applied immediately when conflicting signals are detected.
-Activity Priority (highest to lowest):
-*Driving
-*Other Work
-*Availability
-*Rest/Break
-What this means:
-*If the tachograph detects vehicle movement, it must switch to Driving, regardless of what the driver selected manually.
-*Manual selections can be overridden by activities with a higher priority level.
-*This ensures consistent and legally compliant detection of driving activity.
-'''Example:'''
+==Device Configuration==
-The driver sets '''Rest''' manually.
+. Connect your OBD device to PC via USB or Bluetooth.<br>
-If the vehicle moves for a few seconds, the tachograph will then switch to '''Driving''' (highest priority).
+. Open '''Teltonika Configurator''' and find your device in the list.<br>
+. Select your device from the list.<br>
+. Navigate to '''System''' and under '''System Settings''' Enable '''Codec 8 Extended''' protocol.<br>
+. Open '''OBD II''' section on the left.<br>
+. In '''General''' -> '''OBD II Settings''' -> '''OBD Feature''' select '''ELD'''.<br>
+. In '''OBD VIN settings'''-> '''VIN Source''' select prefered source. Some heavy duty vehicles may not automaticly provide VIN number, in that case we recommend to setup VIN manually.<br>
+[[File:OBD II Settings.png|500x500px]]<br>
+. Save the configuration by pressing '''Save to device''' on the top.<br>
+. New section with J1939 parameters can be found in '''ELD''' section on the right bottom.<br>
+[[File:ELD Settings.png|500x500px]]<br>
-===Rule 041 – Handling Activity Changes Within the Minute===
+==Supported Parameter List==
-Rule 041 describes how tachographs monitor, count and buffer all activity transitions occurring within the current minute.
-It provides the detailed second-level data needed by Rule 038 to decide the dominant activity.
-'''Logic:'''<br>
+The full supported parameter list for OBD devices can be found in the following pages:
-#The tachograph keeps an internal second-based counter of each activity during the minute.
+*[[FMB001 Teltonika Data Sending Parameters ID]]
-#It records all transitions, even if they last only a few seconds (e.g., short manoeuvres).
+*[[FMB003 Teltonika Data Sending Parameters ID]]
-#At the end of the minute, these counters are passed to Rule 038 for dominant-activity evaluation.
+*[[FMC003 Teltonika Data Sending Parameters ID]]
+*[[FMM003 Teltonika Data Sending Parameters ID]]
+*[[FMM00A Teltonika Data Sending Parameters ID]]
-'''Example:'''<br>
+==Downloads==
-Within one minute:
+This functionality requires the latest OBD [[Teltonika Configurator versions|configurator]] and [[Firmware versions#OBD trackers|firmware]] for optimal performance.
-*5 s driving
-*7 s rest
-*3 s driving
-*45 s rest
-Internal counters (Rule 041) determines:
-*Driving = 8 s
-*Rest = 52 s
-Rule 038 records the minute as '''Rest'''.
-===Rule 042 – Special Activity Handling===
+==Ordering and Specifications==
-Rule 042 defines additional logic for handling special or exceptional driver activities within the tachograph system.
+For more information about '''OBD-II to FMS adapter''' specifications and ordering, please visit [https://www.teltonika-gps.com/products/accessories/data-cables/obd-ii-to-fms-adapter OBD-II TO FMS ADAPTER] web page.
-<b>Purpose:</b>
-*Handle specific activity scenarios requiring immediate or exceptional processing.
-*Override or modify activity states in special cases, such as emergency maneuvers or system-triggered events.
-*Ensure accurate reporting in situations not fully covered by standard activity rules.
-<b>Logic:</b>
-# The tachograph monitors the current driver state and system inputs.
-# If a special condition occurs, Rule 042 may:
-::*Override the dominant activity determined by other rules.
-::*Force a predefined activity to be recorded for the minute or sub-minute interval.
-<b>Example:</b>
-*The driver is on a rest period, but an emergency maneuver is detected.
-*Rule 042 may temporarily record the activity as “Driving” for safety or legal compliance, even if Rule 038 would normally store “Rest” for that minute.
-<b>Benefits:</b>
-*Ensures critical or exceptional activities are accurately recorded.
-*Enhances compliance with regulatory requirements in non-standard situations.
-*Provides flexibility for system designers to handle edge cases without impacting the normal minute-by-minute recording logic.
