Downloading data from the driver card inserted in the tachograph can be started in two ways:
| a) | check the Driver card download option in the "configuration" window; |
The advantage of this method is that there is no need to interfere with the device settings.
The disadvantage is that after the device is connected to the tachograph the data can be downloaded only from the driver card.
|
|
| b) | check the Custom configuration option in the "configuration" window; |
The advantage of this method is that the data can be downloaded from both the driver card and the tachograph.
A disadvantage is that appropriate settings must be made directly in the device.
|
|
|
|
| 1. | Turn the vehicle key in the position II (ignition) – the control lamps on the instrument board flash (tachograph activation). |
It is recommended to perform this step together with the driver.
|
|
| 2. | Insert the company card into slot 1 or 2 in the tachograph. |
| 3. | After reading the card in the tachograph confirm the message: "Lock tachograph yes/no." |
| 4. | Insert driver card from which data is to be retrieved into a free slot in the tachograph. |
| 5. | Connect TachoReader Combo Plus Plus device to the tachograph using a Tacho-Combo cable. |
For location of the port in the tachograph refer to the tachograph manual.
|
|
| 6. | Starting driver card data download: |
| • | according to method a) ("Driver card download" option checked): |
| ➢ | press the:  button - starting data download; |
| • | according to method b) ("Custom configuration" option checked): |
| ➢ | Repeatedly press the:  button until the LED lights up in field 180, and then until the two LEDs light up in fields 28 and 60 of the progress bar: |
| • | press the: button - starting data download. |
Data can be downloaded at two speeds:
| • | normal speed data download - press: quickly (single beep) to start downloading data at 9600; |
| • | high speed data download - available for tachographs which support 115200 baud standard - press and hold: button for about 2 sec. until you hear a double beep to start downloading data at a speed of 115200. |
If you select a higher baud rate in the tachograph which does not support it, the device will not proceed to download at all or reading will be corrupted.
|
|
If during data retrieval the red LED located in the centre of the label lights up for about 4 seconds, and in this time the device will sound three short beeps, and then go off for about 2 seconds (repeated operation), this means an error - refer to the topic "Error codes".
|
|
| 7. | After the download is complete the device will sound a repetitive beep with LEDs on the progress bar flashing. |
| 8. | After the download, unplug the Tacho-Combo cable from the tachograph, unplug the cable from the TachoReader Combo Plus device and remove the driver card and the company card. |
When you press the company card eject button, the tachograph asks: "Do you want to lock the tachograph?".
It is recommended to ALWAYS lock the tachograph to prevent unauthorized persons from downloading the data and locking the tachograph with another company card.
|
|
| 9. | The data is saved to a file (Surname_First name_Middle name_Date and time of data download.DDD) placed in the "Driver" directory in the device memory. |
