1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 What does the Tachograph Programmer do?
•
Determines the characteristic coefficient (‘W-factor’) of a vehicle using a rolling road or either of
two different fixed-distance methods;
•
Carries out bench tests of Tachographs semi-automatically;
•
Checks the K-factor setting of Tachographs;
•
Calculates the DIL switch settings for any valid K-factor;
•
Can be used as a Tachograph speed simulator;
•
Determines the appropriate pulses per engine revolution (PPR) setting for a vehicle;
•
Allows Tachograph internal parameters to be Read and Checked and Reprogrammed if required
(Note: Stoneridge VR8400/2400/SE5000 Kienzle 1319/1324/DTCO, Motometer EGK100 and Actia
Smartach tachographs only);
•
Allows the initiation self-test modes;
•
Allows the resetting of the memory to default values;
•
Can carry-out a Tachograph Clock Test;
•
Can analyse the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) stored internally in the Stoneridge
VR2400/SE5000, Kienzle 1324/DTCO and Actia Smartach Tachographs (see Annex C for a full
list of DTCs);
•
Includes internal diagnostics routines to confirm that the Programmer is functioning correctly.
1.2 With which Tachograph Types can the Programmer be used ?
The Tachograph Programmer can be used with all available types of electronic tachographs, i.e.
Stoneridge VR1400/8300/8400/2400/SE5000, Kienzle 1314/1318/1319/1324/DTCO, MotoMeter
EGK-100 and Actia Smartach.
1.3 How do I use This Manual?
This manual describes, in detail, all the functions performed by the Tachograph Programmer. The
Tachograph Programmer can be used with all electronic tachographs, many of which require
slightly different procedures.
To make it easier to find the information you require, the manual is structured as follows:
Chapter 2: PREPARATION FOR USE
Basic instructions for starting to use the Programmer, including checking and charging the battery,
and how to select the Tachograph type to be programmed.
