Before Installing CarChip

Before installing CarChip Fleet or CarChip Fleet with Alarm in your vehicle, we 
recommend that you add the device to the database in the DriveRight Fleet 
Management Software (FMS)
 and check the CarChip settings. 

1.

Connect CarChip to your computer. See instructions on page 3.

2.

Add the CarChip to your DriveRight FMS database. 

Note:

Refer to the DriveRight FMS Help or User’s Manual for instructions on using 
DriveRight FMS. 

3.

In DriveRight FMS, verify the following CarChip settings and change if 
necessary:

Time and date

Engine performance data parameters

Speed bands

Acceleration limits

Deceleration limits

LED State (Controls both the LED and alarm on CarChip Fleet with 
Alarm)

4.

Use the 

Clear CarChip Memory

 command in the DriveRight FMS CarChip 

menu to clear the device’s memory. This step ensures that none of the 
manufacturing test data remains when you put your CarChip into service.
