Compulsory inspection of
tachographs
The vehicle owner is obliged to have the
installed Kienzle MTCO 1324 inspected at
regular intervals.
At least once every two years, the proper op-
eration of the tachograph has to be tested,
e.g. in conjunction with the technical
inspection of your vehicle.
Please ensure that the installation plate is
replaced at each inspection and contains the
information required.

• The marker (3) is displayed immediately
after the failure and remains there,
until the cause of the failure has been
remedied.
Device failures
Failures in the recording mechanism may
cause the following recording errors:
• Marker (4), defect within the v-recording
mechanism.
• Marker (5) and (6), defect within the
recording mechanism for the time group
and distance record.

Maintenance and cleaning

The Kienzle MTCO 1324 is equipped with
modern, maintenance-free technology. For
this reason, preventive maintenance work is
not required.
In case they are dirty, you may clean the
housing, the display and the function keys by
means of a slightly moistened cloth. In case
this proves not sufficient, special cleaning or
preservative agents for plastics may also be
used.
