Tachograph discWhen you insert an anologue tachograph disc in to a tachograph how do you know which way round to insert it so your driving is recorded on the correct side or do they only fit in one way
Re: Tachograph discIt is possible to insert cards the wrong way up, in general the wax on the card should face up as you look at it from the drivers seat.
A hinged analogue will fold open and the rear of the chart sits on the chart table, you can then see the stylus or stylii. On an analogue cassette it still goes wax face up for driver 1 and beneath the separator plate for driver 2 ps. I think there used to be some stipulation that you or the ministry were able to open the head without removing the card to view the trace. Long gone also. Carryfast the Authority Figure.

Re: Tachograph disc
If inserted upside down then it fits but will not do a trace - of course I have NEVER done that ![]() ![]() ![]() If you can see the 'recording/trace pins' then the shiney side faces them. LINK TO - LGV TRAINING TIPS - LGV INSTRUCTOR 2005 to 2008 - LGV DRIVER 1978 TO 2004

Re: Tachograph discWhat a pity that such elimentary information wasn't passed on during training

Re: Tachograph discOn older motors where the tacho head is behind the steering wheel the white side faces the road when the thing is closed. Those new ones with a drawer the white faces the sky.

could have been trained in a truck with a digi and only had the analogue explained which could easily be forgotten ![]() ![]() LINK TO - LGV TRAINING TIPS - LGV INSTRUCTOR 2005 to 2008 - LGV DRIVER 1978 TO 2004

Re: Tachograph discThe cards that I am issued with are a buff colour on the non trace side.
Re: Tachograph disc
That's called grasping at straws! What's wrong with demonstrating with an old tacho head? Or showing the trainee in a suitably equipped vehicle if one is available. Hard fact is that the majority of trainers just overlook this minor detail! ![]() ![]() AUTO C, ARTIC, BUS

Re: Tachograph discIt is a shame that with both styles of tacho still being in equal existence (before analogue is completely lost) that training schools are only able to offer training on one type of tacho (to pass the test, should the tacho show me/tell me question arise). Alternatively, there are agencies around that will provide additional training to get you up to speed with what the logistics world is working with. I think I'm fortunate enough to have only had to use one type of tacho (found in volvos approx 10 years old), so I'm sorted for the time being and I can learn about digital tachos at a later date from drivers in the newer vehicles at work
would rather LF than FL
Re: Tachograph discWhen I was training the tacho was mentioned but not really part of the course,mind you this was pre theory and hazard perception tests.I suppose its changed days now.

Re: Tachograph discREMEMBER check the disc codes against the tacho codes in vehicle must match or will not record correctly ,saying that most are now universal but get em from a boot sale

Re: Tachograph disc
Couldn't agree more.......we start to train this in the theory and have a tacho head in the classroom.
So....no excuse 25 quid buys an analogue one from the breakers.......sorted It's a great life being a Driver
If its got wheels or tracks then its got to be fun
Re: Tachograph disc
I keep getting issued with tachos, but the trouble is the chances of me driving the 2 trucks fitted with them are slim as I wouldnt get everything on and if I did I'd be weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeell over weight....... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() That's nice!!!!!!

Writing goes face up so when you close the tacho it makes contact with the scribes. http://i153.photobucket.com/albums/s218 ... etacho.jpg On the cassette tacho, make sure you get the chart underthe 2 teeth at the top or it will chew the tacho to pieces! I know this through experience!

Re: Tachograph discInex at the time!! LOL Never repeated since!
I,ve got a pic of the Volvo tacho (pop up) at work, i,ll post it on monday, took me 5 minutes to find the damn thing! I was cursing and panicking!!
Re: Tachograph discDon't have a photo of the volvo pop up, but the disc goes in trace side facing you, and operation is really simple, just twist the knobs on the dash by the key to the appropriate setting and job's a good 'un. My current volvo doesn't have one of these, but one of the cassette type mounted above your head with buttons rather than knobs.
would rather LF than FL
Re: Tachograph discWheel nut, how do you post pics like that? I,m a bit simples like!
