DIL calculate 7.9. enter w factor. DIL switch settings, w factor and k exact are displayed on left. This function does not require connection to a tachograph.
Fixed distance 2 7.10. Tapping enables the “w” factor to be determined using a physical method with an external device such as a flexi switch or light barriers over a fixed distance. Connect the flexi switch or light barrier device via adaptor B. ...
Rolling road 7.11. Tapping enables selection of Rolling Road test or Speed Verification. With vehicle in motion, tap “Speed Verification”, check speed of Rolling Road and compare with tachograph speed i.e. speed for speed check.
Page 21
For a Stoneridge rolling road, when you tap “Rolling Road” Optimo determines the w and l factors. When test complete results can be sent directly to radio sized tachographs, followed by a confirmation screen. For round tachographs w, k and l factors are displayed, plus the DIL switch settings which must...
UTC and local time if necessary. For round tachographs a clock tester module is required and only tests the accuracy of the clock. Optimo is factory set to UTC time. On Digital tachographs all time adjustments should be done from this menu. 7.13.
Serial data test 7.14. Tapping displays serial data from the tachograph via cables F & H plus adaptor A4 for a SE5000, or cables X & H and A4 for a 2400, Optimo only. CANbus data test 7.15. Tapping...
1000m test 7.16. the k factor is displayed, tap the green tick button, the test starts and a countdown timer appears in a red circle. Test complete.
Sensor settings 7.17. Tapping enables selection of a sensor type on some tachographs. The following screen is for a VR2400. To pair an Encrypted sensor tap “Pair”. Test complete.
Page 26
For 3 generation digital tachographs activated after 1 October 2012, the following screen is displayed. 2 source of motion is enabled by selecting the appropriate CANbus or the C3 option. For CANbus “Heavy” or “Light” vehicle also has to be selected as data is transferred at different bit rates.
The difference between speed 1 and speed 2 must not exceed 10km/h. Tachograph reset 7.18. Tapping sends a reset pulse by simulating an Off/On condition which resets default in the tachograph. No screen displayed on Optimo, however there is an interruption on the tachograph display.
8. Custom Bench Test For analogue tachographs, a Custom bench test allows a technician to set unique duty and speed parameters in countries which allow this. To set a Custom bench test go to page 3 of “Workshop Settings” then tap on stars in the box adjacent to “Configure analogue bench test” in 3 “Workshop Settings”...
Page 29
Tap “Custom” to enter up to 15 Speed Test steps. Tap an empty box adjacent to each Speed Test step then enter the speed and duration of step.
Page 30
To delete a step, tap the cross in the red box, then tap bin icon and step is deleted. Once all Speeds entered, tap red arrow top right to enter up to 5 duty steps. Tap an empty box adjacent to a “Duty Test”...
Page 31
Tap the Duty required, then key in duration for test. Once final Duty test is entered, tap red arrow top right, or Home Button, to exit setup procedure. Now when running an Analogue Bench test the tachograph type will be prefixed with “Custom Bench Test”.
9. SE5000CS – Configuration System and a message “Determining the Tacho Type” is displayed whilst Optimo confirms an SE5000 tachograph is connected. This enables configuration of KRM tachographs to parameters of different vehicle types. A valid workshop card must be inserted and PIN authenticated to reconfigure all activated tachographs.
Page 33
To configure to another vehicle type, tap appropriate Manufacturer’s icon and a list of associated vehicle types is displayed. Tap icon for correct vehicle type, and a screen shows Optimo communicating with the tachograph. After a short time the result is displayed.
Do not use this feature when in wireless operation. Then a new message “Determining the Tacho Type” is displayed whilst Optimo confirms a 1381 tachograph is connected. This enables configuration of 1381 tachographs to parameters of different vehicle types.
Page 35
Select the 1381 Universal Model and then select your target vehicle type. Tap icon for correct vehicle type, and a screen shows Optimo communicating with the tachograph. After a short time the result is displayed.
11. Application Sheets Tapping details how to fit tachographs and Electronic Road Speed Limiters, ERSLs, to different vehicle types. Tap on type of application sheet required. Tap appropriate manufacturer’s icon.
Page 37
Tap correct vehicle model icon. The application sheet is displayed which details the kit required, and in some cases instructions for non-standard fits.
12. Cross Reference Tables Tapping enables a user to cross reference tachographs or sensors with Stoneridge equivalents. Type the appropriate text or number for the search. A list of all items containing the search text or number is displayed.
Note: the new tachograph must be configured prior to performing the tacho swap operation. For digital tachographs this should be done before the unit is activated. Tap “Read” and Optimo reads all data from the tachograph and gives an option to view stored data.
Page 40
Tap the tachograph button to display stored information. Note: You don’t have to view data before sending it. Tapping “Send” displays which tachograph is connected, and options of which tachograph data to send. Tap the appropriate button and a tick is displayed on completion.
