PosiTrace ELD System - User Manual

1. INTRODUCTION
What is ELD?
An electronic logging device (ELD) as dened by the FMCSA 49 CFR part 395 regulations is a system
installed in a commercial motor vehicle (CMV) that provides electronic logging of vehicle activities.
This system is integrated within the CMV environment to detect its operation. The primary integration
with the vehicle is through the engine control module (ECM) and the vehicles diagnostics bus (J1939
CAN bus).
The ELD detects the CMV operation through the vehicle integration and logs vehicle movement as
drive time by an authenticated driver or unidentied driver. The ELD also records other data related
to the vehicle position and operation.
ELD enables the tracking of drivers' working hours by using the following statuses: DRIVING (D), ON
DUTY (ON), OFF DUTY (OFF), YARD MOVES (YM), PERSONAL USE (PU), and SLEEPER BERTH (SB).

Which documents should every driver have?
Before working with ELD every driver should have the following documents:
User manual
Data transfer manual
Malfunction description manual
Blank RODS (records of duty statuses)

How does PosiTrace ELD System work?
To work with PosiTrace ELD System you need to have cellular adapter (PosiTracker|GX6) and a compatible
tablet (Mobile Data Terminal/MDT)
