8.1 General instructions

8.1.1 Installation and functional test

8 - 4
After preprogramming all data stipulated by the legislators and nec-
essary for operation an installation and functional test must be per-
formed.
This check is defined in the law CR (EEC) 3821/85, annex I B
(requirement 255).
The inspection must demonstrate that the entire system, including
the DTCO 1381, complies with the regulations and falls within the
permissible error limits concerning distance and speed (requirement
255).
During the installation and functional test a measurement of the
display errors is performed (requirement 259).
Note the legal provisions applicable in your country and check, how
the installation and functional test must be performed and whether
further tests of the EC recording equipment are prescribed.
The installation and functional test must be performed after every
installation, i.e. in every vehicle.
If the installation and functional test is performed on a DTCO 1381
that is already activated, the detected and saved data can be eval-
uated.
On a DTCO 1381 that is not yet activated, the compliance with the
specified error limits can be performed only visually.
