 The
German Federal Vehicle Office granted the EEC design
approvals, number el-83 and el-85 for the VDO Kienzle EC
tachograph type MTCO 1324.
This
model of EC tachograph contains technical functions that have
been designed in accordance with the legal regulations and are
in some respects different to the operation of other EC tachographs (e.g. Type 1318).
As
you can see from figure (1) the distance recording of the EC
tachograph 1324 differs from that of the previous EC
tachographs.
New The
distance recording (1) will be interrupted
if the time group switches for both drivers are
set to the rest and the ignition is switched off .
There will be no trace in the distance trace section of
the chart during this time.
Normal
operation of the tachograph will resume when either selecting
any mode other than REST with Ignition off
or switching the ignition on and moving the
vehicle.
This
corresponds to the legal requirements for recording the
distance covered (according to Community Regulation (EEC)
3821/85, Appendix I:
Section II, Section l11, a), 1.2; Section III, c); 1
2; Section IV, b), 1.)
