LITE-CHECK VERIFIER TRAILER INSPECTION SYSTEM
Tablet DOT Mode Features
The DOT Mode is used to perform a complete inspection to verify Federal DOT compliance or for
preventative maintenance purposes.
Performing an Inspection
1. On the tablet, start the Lite-Check DOT app by pressing its icon on the home screen.
2. Enter your credentials and tap ”OK” to login. After a few moments you should see the tester
voltage in the upper left corner of the screen. If not, press the Bluetooth Icon in the upper left
corner and select your Trailer Interface from the list.
3. If you are resuming a partially completed inspection or verifying repairs made as a result of a
recent inspection, tap the three vertical dots in the upper right-hand corner to open the menu
and select ”Open”. Select the inspection to resume from the list based on the trailer ID and the
date. To sort by most recent, tap on-screen the arrows beside ”Date” until only a single down
arrow is displayed. Skip to step #9.
4. To start a new inspection, select your shop location from the drop-down list and enter the work
order ID (if any).
5. Tap on the trailer ID to select the trailer to be inspected. You can scroll through the list or enter
the first few characters of the ID to narrow the list to IDs that start with those characters.
Alternately, if your trailers have ID barcodes, press ”Scan” and read the barcode with the tablet.
Notes on barcode scanning:
•
Ensure adequate lighting when scanning
•
The barcode should be roughly centered and fill at least half of the narrowest dimension of
the screen
•
If the image is not crisp and clear, retake the picture
•
Ensure the barcode label is clean and legible
•
Ensure the camera focuses on the label if there are nearer or farther items in the frame
•
Supported types are Code 39, Code 128, UPC A, and UPC E (contact Lite-Check if you
have other requirements and we may be able to accomodate them)
6. If this is a new trailer that has not been added to the cloud yet and you are authorized to add
trailers from the tablet, press the ”New Trailer” button and enter the trailer configuration
information. Pay special attention that the brake type, tire type, and ABS checkbox are correct.
7. Select the type of inspection you wish to perform from the drop-down list. Note that the available
inspections will vary based on the unit type of the trailer you selected.
8. Press ”Save” to begin the inspection.
9. Most inspections begin at the front of the trailer. Visually inspect the 7-wire connector and the
gladhands before making those connections to the Trailer Interface. Then complete the
remaining inspection items on the front.
