ELD Mandate Overview
It is important to know that ELDs do not fully automate driver logs. For example, drivers s ll have to
manually set their duty statuses to O Duty, Sleeper Berth, and so on. They also have to manually
cer fy their records. The ELD is a tool to simplify the process of data collec on for a drivers logs.
The Tera Tracking ELD connector allows your vehicle to communicate with the Tera Tracking ELD app
over a wireless connec on. To support compliance with the FMCSAs ELD mandate, it automates the
collec on of the following data items:
1. Vehicle Iden ca on Number (VIN) - it is used to automa cally associate your records with a
specic vehicle. If you move your PSELD1 to a dierent vehicle, it will automa cally read the
new VIN and use the new VIN in your logs.
2. Odometer mileage - it is used to automa cally ll-in elds in your driver logs.
3. Engine hours - it is used to automa cally ll-in elds in your driver logs.
4. Engine on/o status - it is used as triggers to automa cally record events. A record will be
automa cally added to the ELDs logs when the engine is turned on or turned o.
5. Vehicle in-mo on status - it is used as triggers to automa cally record events. A record will be
automa cally added to the ELDs logs when the engine is turned on or turned o. When the
vehicles wheel speed exceeds 5mph, a duty status of Driving will be automa cally recorded.
If the vehicle is no longer in mo on, the
ELD will automa cally record a duty status change to On Duty Not Driving a er 6 minutes if
the driver does not manually change their duty status. When the ELD adapter detects that the
vehicle is in mo on, the

me must be recorded as either driving, personal use of the

commercial vehicle, or a yard move. The me when the vehicle is in mo on cannot be
shortened or reassigned to a status of O Duty, Sleeper Berth, or On Duty Not Driving
6. Loca on - it is used to automa cally ll-in elds in your driver logs
Your records are collected and stored in a database on your smartphone or tablet with the Tera Tracking
ELD app. However, the Tera Tracking ELD (model: BT-1) has internal memory to store events when not
connected to the Tera Tracking ELD app. These records will be associated with the Uniden ed Driver
account and will be visible to all drivers of that vehicle on the main page of the Tera Tracking ELD app.
