Stoneridge SE5000, Control Manual

Page: 7 / 34

Introduction
Introduction
This manual concerns the control mode of oper-
ation. However, knowledge of the operational mode
of the unit is also required in case of driving a tacho-
graph fitted vehicle.
A Stoneridge tachograph can be operated in one of
four modes of operation:
l
Operational (driver card or no card inserted)
l
Control (control card inserted)
l
Calibration (workshop card inserted)
l
Company (company card inserted)
Company Lock-in/Lock-out details can be used to
identify the true owners of blocks of stored tacho-
graph data. Enforcement officers should encourage
companies to Lock-in tachograph data as it not only
identifies their company as the owner of the data,
but also prevents third party company card owners
from viewing or downloading their data.
Also, when transferring ownership of a tachograph
to another company, the current tachograph owner
must Lock-out the data before transfer of the tacho-
graph. Thus any future data stored after the Lock-
out would be clearly identified as not applying to
them.
Due to data protection laws, care must be taken to
ensure that the tachograph data is not downloaded
and passed on to third parties without the per-
mission of the tachograph owner.
The control card can be inserted in either of the
trays. If control cards are inserted in both trays the
card in tray 1 will be used for the control operation
and the card in tray 2 will be ignored.
The Control Card
l
Must be obtained via an application to the relevant
authorities.
l
Is valid for 2 years only.
l
Will only be issued to enforcement officers or
enforcement authorities.
l
Are personal to the enforcement officer and
authority and is not transferable.
l
Allows read-only access to data stored in the driver
card or in the tachographs internal memory respec-
tively.
l
Can store a minimum of 230 records of displaying
and/or printing and/or VU downloading and/or
card downloading. The maximum number of rec-
ords is dependent on the card type. When the
upper limit is reached the oldest data will be over-
written.
Note!
Extra care must be taken to ensure that only the
authorised owner of a control card has access to
it at all times.
Don't open the Case
The tachograph has been installed by authorised per-
sonnel.
A tachograph case must never be opened. No tam-
pering with or modifications to the tachograph sys-
tem are permitted. A tamper label is placed inside the
printer housing. The tamper label must not be torn
apart.
Here you can see where the tampering label is placed
and how it looks when it is untouched.
A tampered label might look like this.
Note!
Unauthorized persons that modify this equipment
are committing a punishable offence, depending
on the legislation in the country concerned.
