1 Introduction
The EROAD™ Electronic Logging Device (ELD) is designed to
make your job easier. This manual might be used by drivers,
mechanics, fleet managers, dispatchers, or anyone accessing
the EROAD ELD.
The EROAD ELD system includes the in-vehicle device and the
Depot application. It gives you control to change duty status
and manage your logs, among other features.
The EROAD ELD is installed in the cab of the truck. It measures
the distance you travel, and captures location [via a global
positional system (GPS)], route, and operational data from
the truck.
1
Serial Number
There are four indicator lights on the front of the in-vehicle
device, which are explained below from left to right:
• Green - Power is ON
• Blue - (not used)
• Yellow - New message is waiting
• Red - Degraded mode, temporary loss of distance
calculation
The records are stored via a cellular data network, which
interfaces to EROAD’s Depot application. Users can access
Depot through a Web browser, as shown in the following
illustration.

1.1 LOCATING THE DEVICE SERIAL NUMBER
The device serial number might be required for setup, technical
support, or for record-keeping purposes. Detach the device
from the mounting arm and turn upside down to view the
serial number on the underside of the front cover plate.
1.2 PIT GROUP VERIFICATION
EROAD self-certified and registered its in-vehicle, tethered ELD
solution with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration
(FMCSA) on their public registry: https://csa.fmcsa.dot.gov/
ELD/List in February 2017.
EROAD also conducted internal testing per the FMCSA’s test
procedures, which confirms that the EROAD ELD meets the
technical specification requirements of 49 CFR Part 395,
Subpart B and Appendix A.
EROAD is the first ELD provider to complete an independent
test and verification of our ELD solution by PIT Group.
Tip:
