2 PURPOSE OF THE IFACE The iFace IAP Declaration program allows drivers to enter SD Data for their vehicles enrolled

in the Intelligent Access Program.

3 OPERATION The iFace can be turned on by holding the power button for a few seconds (found on top of

the device on the left hand side). You will see the screen light up when the power button is

held for long enough. The iFace has its own internal battery, which means it can operate

independently of the vehicle power; however a charger has been wired to the vehicle ignition

so that the internal battery is charged whenever the ignition is turned on. When idle, the iFace

screen will turn itself off. To turn it on again, press the power button. If the screen does not

light up and show the application, most likely power is off and you will need to turn the unit on

using a longer press of the power button (this may happen if the vehicle has not had the

ignition turned on for a while and the internal battery has run flat – in this instance, vehicle

ignition must be turned on to be able to turn the iFace on).

The iFace provides 2 main operations, namely the Vehicle Type/TCM (Total Combination

Mass) declaration and Comment declaration.

3.1 MAIN SCREEN

The iFace application is run automatically when the device is started. The main screen is

shown when the iFace is started:

FIGURE 1 - MAIN SCREEN

To declare the Vehicle Type/TCM or Comment, simply click on the box that contains the

current vehicle configuration (the ‘IAP Declarations’ button).

Clicking the ‘IAP Declarations’ button will bring up the following screen:

FIGURE 2 - CHOOSE A DECLARATION TYPE

Click on the one of buttons for the declaration type that needs to be made. Clicking the ‘Back’

button simply goes back to the main screen.

If the iFace communicates via a SIM card, the vehicle registration must be entered. The main

screen for IAP Declarations will contain the ability to enter the vehicle registration as shown in

Figure 3. This will be pre-populated with the registration last used in declarations. Tap on the

vehicle registration text box to bring up a keyboard to type the vehicle registration.

The submission of the data to the Transtech Driven system is dependent on communications

coverage. Therefore, declarations are stored on the device until they can be sent. Once a

declaration is made, the number of declarations pending to be sent is incremented on the

main declaration screen (see Figure 2 or Figure 3 above). If declarations are being made and

this number does not decrease within a few hours (allowing enough time to ensure

communications can be established) then Transtech Driven must be contacted since this may

indicate a possible malfunction with the iFace or IVU.

NOTE: Declarations are only received by the Transtech Driven system once the status shows

‘No declarations pending to be sent’.

3.1.1 VEHICLE TYPE/TOTAL COMBINATION MASS DECLARATIONS For a Vehicle Type/TCM declaration a vehicle type, number of axles and a load has to be

entered. The following screen is displayed where you can choose your options:

FIGURE 4 - SELECT VEHICLE TYPE, AXLES AND TOTAL MASS

Select a vehicle type and then select the number of axles. The options for the axles will

change when you change the vehicle type. Once you have entered the vehicle type and axles

enter the total mass or select ‘No Load’.

Press ‘Send’ to submit the declaration. A confirmation screen will pop up with the details of

the declaration for a final review as shown in Figure 5. Press ‘Send’ to confirm or ‘Review

values’ to modify.

FIGURE 5 - CONFIRM DETAILS

- 7 -

The load must be a number between 0 and 999.9, and may have one decimal place if

necessary. Note that the value entered is in tonnes, to the nearest hundred kilograms. If the

truck is a Prime Mover or is unloaded, click ‘No Load’. Note that if a mass of greater than 200

tonnes is declared, a box will pop up requesting for confirmation with an extra warning, as

shown in Figure 6. Click ‘Send’ to confirm the values entered or ‘Review values’ to modify.

FIGURE 6 - DECLARATION WITH TOTAL MASS MORE THAN 200 TONNES

When ‘Send’ is clicked, a notification will pop up to say if the declaration has been

successfully placed in the queue to be sent.

At any time the ‘Cancel’ button can be pressed and the screen will go back to the declaration

type screen (Figure 2 or Figure 3).

3.1.1.1 MASS DECLARATIONS USING ON-BOARD MASS SCALES

If the prime mover is fitted with an On-Board Mass Scale system, it may be possible to

populate the Total Combination Mass figure directly from the scales. If enabled, the mass will

be retrieved when you press the ‘Mass’ declaration type from the declaration type screen and

the following will be displayed:

FIGURE 7 - RETRIEVING MASS FROM SCALES

This then pre-populates the Total Mass value. If you would like to get the mass from the

scales again, press the ‘Fetch From scales again’ button as shown in Figure 8.

FIGURE 8 - FETCHING MASS FROM SCALES BUTTON

In some circumstances, the ‘Get Mass From Scales’ feature may return an error. In this case,

a failure screen will pop up with the option to try again or cancel as seen in Figure 9.

- 9 -

FIGURE 9 - FAILED TO GET MASS FROM SCALES

Your screen may be configured to allow a manual entry of the mass value if getting the mass

from scales fails. If this is the case, you will see the screen in Figure 10 where you can

choose to try again or do a manual entry. If it is not enabled, then you will not be able to make

a mass declaration and you will see the screen in Figure 9. This will generally mean there is a

problem with the device, and you should contact Transtech Driven for support.

3.1.2 COMMENT DECLARATIONS For a Comment declaration, a comment type and optional additional comments can be

entered.

The screen requires the user to choose the comment type and type additional comments if

required:

FIGURE 11 - COMMENT DECLARATION SCREEN

Select a comment type and then type additional comments. Additional comments are optional

but may be very helpful. Comments may be up to 256 keyboard characters (i.e. ASCII or

non-special characters) as indicated on the right side of the screen. Click ‘Send’ to submit the

declaration. This will bring up a confirmation screen as shown in Figure 12.

FIGURE 12 - COMMENT DECLARATION CONFIRMATION

When ‘Send’ is clicked, a notification will pop up to say if the declaration has been

successfully placed in the queue to be sent.

At any time the ‘Cancel’ button can be pressed and the screen will go back to the declaration

type screen (Figure 2 or Figure 3).

3.2 IFACE SETTINGS SCREEN

displayed. Adjust the brightness and timezone as desired.
