3. PROGRAMMER FUNCTIONS
This Chapter briefly describes all the MKII Programmer functions and lists the required harnesses in
Table 1. A full description of each function is included in Chapter 4.
•
Tacho Select
- this function allows the operator to specify the tachograph type that is to be
calibrated or tested by the Programmer (see section 2.7 for more details).
•
Pulser Select
(Stoneridge VR8300/1400 and Kienzle 1314) – this function allows the operator
to specify the pulser type (or sender type for VR2400) that is being used with the current
tachograph (see sections 2.8 and 2.9 for more details).
•
Rolling Road Test
(all) - this function finds the “W” factor of the vehicle using the Hartridge (or
similar) Rolling Road (see section 4.1.1 for more details).
•
Fixed Distance #1 Test
(all) - this function finds the “W” factor of the vehicle using the
Physical method 20m track (see section 4.1.2 for more details).
•
Fixed Distance #2 Test
(all) - this function finds the “W” factor of the vehicle using the
Physical method 20m track with Flexi-Switch (see section 4.1.3 for more details).
•
Bench Test
(all) - this semi-automatic function assists the fitter to bench test the tachograph
using a series of commands displayed on the screen (see section 4.2 for details of Bench Test
connections and Annex B for full details of all Bench Test Routines).
•
Speed Simulator Test
- this function injects speed pulses into the tachograph for checking of
tachograph speed pointer, overspeed warning, or stylus positions on chart (see section 4.3 for
more details).
•
RPM Pulse Test
(Stoneridge VR2400/8400/8300, Kienzle1318, Motometer EGK100, 4-stylus
tachographs only) - this function is used to find the “Pulse Per Engine Rev” from the “W”
terminal on the alternator or a revs sender (see section 4.4 for more details).
•
Clock Test
- this function checks the accuracy of the tachograph clock. The function is
automatic for Motometer EGK100 tachograph, Stoneridge VR2400/SE5000, Kienzle
1324/DTCO and Actia Smartach but uses an optional external clock-tester for other
tachographs (see section 4.5 for more details).
•
Tacho Control
(Stoneridge VR8400/2400 and Kienzle 1324) - this function is used to put the
tachograph into either the “Self Test” or the “Extended Test” mode, to Reset the tachograph
memory to the “Default state” or to pair a tachograph with a sender (2400/1324 only) (see
section 4.8 for more details).
•
Identify Tacho
(Stoneridge VR2400/SE5000, Kienzle 1324/DTCO and Actia Smartach) – this
function interrogates the tachograph via the K-line and determines the System supplier,
Manufacture date, Serial number, Hardware version, Software number, Software version and
System name (see section 4.9 for more details).
•
Read/Erase DTCs
(Stoneridge VR2400/SE5000, Kienzle 1324/DTCO and Actia Smartach) -
enables the Diagnostic Trouble Codes in the tachograph to be displayed on the Programmer
and then erased if required (see section 4.10 for more details).
•
Read all data/ Modify data/ Send all data
(Stoneridge VR2400/SE5000, Kienzle
1319/1324/DTCO, EGK100 and Actia Smartach) - these functions interrogate the tachograph
via the K-line to allow the fitter to change the various settings on the tacho and program all the
data set-up in the Programmer in a single operation (see Chapter 5 for more details).
