There have been a number of reports of
charts being damaged in Veeder Roote heads fitted to Scania lV series
vehicles.
It has been suggested that this is caused
by the heating system fitted to the vehicle being too close to the
tachograph head. As a result the heat is causing the glue on the
plaques inside the head to melt. This is getting onto the backing
plate which in turn causes the chart to stick to the plate. The
centre cam then turns without the chart moving which causes the centre of
the chart to rip and the chart to over trace on itself. In some
instances the plaques are coming off the body of the tachograph head
altogether.
These plaques must be fitted by law and
cannot be removed and if they become detached they should be
re-fitted. This problem is under investigation by Scania and Veeder
Roote and as soon as we have a result we will post it on this page.
If anyone else is experiencing this problem or has any information let us
know here
If you are experiencing this problem the
driver must keep manual entries on the rear of the damaged charts.
