to be downloaded (chip down) into the smart card slot in the side of the
unit. The unit will first check that the SD card is satisfactory and will
then download the tachograph card.
During card download direct into the unit, the LED by the ‘Card’ button
will flash repeatedly about twice each second. Successful completion
will be indicated by the LED blinking briefly about once every second.
Download of data from a driver card direct into the Digidown Plus takes
in the region of 1 minute (depending on the tachograph card).
Reading the SD card
The SD card can be read via the USB port on Digidown
3
. Once
connected to a PC via the USB port, the Digidown will appear as a
standard removable disk drive.
Alternatively data on the SD card can be read and/or copied by
removing the SD card from the Digidown and plugging it into a separate
SD card reader available from Lisle Design or from major computer or
camera shops.
Driver Card Download with USB connection
A driver card (or any other type of tachograph card) may be
downloaded into the Digidown Plus and into its SD card whilst the unit is
connected to a PC’s USB port. In this case the required power is taken
from the USB connection. If the Digidown Plus is always connected to a
USB port when downloading tachograph cards then the internal
batteries are not required.
Fixing Bracket
The Digidown Plus may be supplied with a bracket allowing the unit to
be fixed down to a counter or other horizontal surface. A second
(smaller) bracket is supplied to cover the memory card slot.
When installing the standard mounting bracket, the smaller bracket
should first be attached to the larger bracket using the small (M3 x
6mm) countersunk screws. The bracket should then be attached to the
selected surface, e.g. counter, shelf etc. with appropriate screws (not
supplied). The Digidown plus unit can then be attached to the main
bracket using the supplied pan head screws (M3 x 8mm). Note that the
memory card cover may be omitted if access is required to the memory
card whilst the unit is attached to the bracket.
If a USB cable is to be attached permanently to the Digidown Plus whilst
attached to a mounting bracket, then the cable may be passed through

The required drivers are included as standard in Windows 2000, XP and Vista. For use with Windows
98 a driver software file is required. Please contact your dealer for more details.
