The new DAKO TachoKEY makes accessing tachograph data easier than ever. With an optimised pre-configuration, all functions are automatically activated when plugged into the tachograph or the DAKO TachoStation.
By downloading the tachograph, all data from the respective driver card and the activities of the vehicle unit in the last 3 months (92 days), as well as its technical data, incidents and malfunctions are collected. All you have to do, is watching the LED signal to identify the current status of the data transfers. The data can then be transferred directly to the DAKO web platform via a PC or the DAKO TachoStation. There, driver and vehicle data are clearly visualised and can be evaluated and archived in compliance with the law.
To begin accessing any tachograph with your TachoKEY, turn your ignition switch to position 1 (accessory).
Insert the company card into slot 2 on the tachograph. The data can only be downloaded when the company card is inserted.
You can now insert the TachoKEY into the corresponding access socket on the tachograph. The key will start downloading immediately and automatically. Wait until card authentication is completed.
During the download, the colour of the LED signal on the TachoKEY will inform you of the current status. Only remove the TachoKEY from the tachograph when the LED‘s signal is permanently green.
