Diagnostics Menu
Within the Tachograph Programmer there are a number of additional functions provided which
carry out various self-test functions and which allow setting of various default values.
To gain access to the internal utilities, first ensure that the Tachograph Programmer is turned off.
Press and hold
the ENTER key and then turn on the unit by pressing the ON key. As the unit
turns on it will emit a beep as usual, but in this case will request a Pass code – type “8642” and
press “ENTER” – the Programmer will then enter the DIAGNOSTICS MENU.

Fixed-Distance Tests) to be altered between 20 and 1000m (previously
this was fixed at 20m permanently).
