From DTCO
®
1381 Rel. 1.3, drivers, company owners, workshops and controlling bodies are given timely
warning that their individual tachograph cards will soon expire. Advance warning times can be individually set
between 0 (OFF) and 90 days. When the defined advance warning time is exceeded, the warning message will
be displayed on the display of the DTCO
®
each time a card is ejected.
Advance warnings can also be set for periodic inspections of the DTCO
®
.
Early warnings
In addition to the legally prescribed storing of driver and vehicle-related data, the DTCO
®
1381 Rel. 1.3 also
records additional data which you can use for further processing and evaluation in a data management solution
like e.g. TIS-Web
®
or TIS-Office
®
:
Storing additional data
The Fast Download function significantly reduces the download time of legally required data (activities of the
previous three months).
Fast Download
168 hours of “detailed speed”
The DTCO
®
registers the speed driven during the previous 168 hours of driving time, second by
second. In contrast to the legally prescribed recording of the previous 24 hours, this speed data
is not signed – and this results in a significant reduction of download times.
Odometer reading when vehicle stops
In compliance with the pertinent legal regulation, the DTCO
®
records the current odometer
reading and saves it in the mass memory each time the vehicle stops for longer than two
minutes.
Odometer reading when driver status changes
The current odometer reading is saved whenever a driver event (like a change of status)
occurs.
