Saucon ELD Solution
3

Saucon TDS is the core component for a total transportation communications
solution that provides visibility and transparency into the activities of operations.
Telemetry on every asset in the fleet is gathered by PROX, an on board
computer that captures positioning signals from GPS satellites, direct engine
data (ECM), video cameras/recording devices, and other data sources, and
transmits data from the vehicle over a wireless network to a secure data center.
Access is provided to a secured online web portal that is customizable to every
business need. Coupled with a user-friendly 7 touch screen display called the
Saucon Touch, our Saucon Prox ELD solution is part of the Saucon family of
integrated solutions for your fleet.

ELD Compliant Product
4

The Saucon PROX ELD device is offered in standard form, or with an
additional connection port to support Wifi Connectivity.


Connecting Engine Monitoring: Engine data is obtained either over the
J1939 or J1708 network



Connecting Start Disable Relay: Saucon recommends secured driver
startup for ELD customers, requiring the driver to enter a unique code
to allow the vehicle to start. In addition to the enhanced security this
feature provides, it also minimizes ELD unassigned driving records.



ELD Compliance: The combination of a Touch Enabled PROX
device, plus a Saucon Touch driver display (software version
20170221 or higher), with all appropriate connections and installation
recommendations, comprises the Saucon Prox ELD compliant product.
PROX devices used with other driver displays, or without the
appropriate software upgrade, remain AOBRD compliant.
