Mapon is not responsible for errors that occurred before or after the installation of the device, as a non-contact data reader is used to read the data.
1. Check for errors: Start the engine and inspect the tachograph and vehicle dashboard for any error messages. If no errors are displayed, turn off the ignition and proceed with the installation.
2. Remove the tachograph: Insert the tachograph removal tools, carefully remove the tachograph, and inspect the yellow connector for any damage or disconnection. If a disconnection occurs, the tachograph will need to be recalibrated.
If you notice any seals on the tachograph or have any trouble removing it, please reach out to a certified tachograph specialist for assistance.
3. Match and connect the cables: Disconnect the following connectors from the tachograph and attach them to the corresponding connectors on the cable:
Brown Connector (D): Insert the brown connector into the tachograph slot located to the right of the red connector.
Red Connector (C): Remove the red connector from the tachograph (if it is installed). Plug it into the red connector on the cable, then insert the corresponding cable connector into the tachograph.
White Connector (A): Press the plastic catch to remove the white connector from the tachograph. Plug it into the white connector on the cable, then insert the corresponding cable connector into the tachograph.
4. Connect the device to the tachograph: Connect the corresponding color sockets on the cable back to the tachograph. Finally, attach the black connectors to the Mapon Expert tracking device.
5. Turn the ignition and handle the messages: Turn the vehicle’s ignition further. If a power interruption message appears on the tachograph, follow the instructions to clear it.
6. Check the connection and register the device:
Go to mapon.com/services to check the device connection and perform the tachograph connection test.
Register the device by filling out the form here.
Please note that the ignition must be turned on to check the tacho connection.
7. Finish the installation: Verify that the orange and green LEDs light up once to confirm a successful installation. Place the GPS antenna (magnet side down) — Best: on the roof centre, face-up. If installed inside, place it on top of the dashboard near the windshield, close to the centre (not under the dashboard and not near the tachograph). Hide the device behind the tachograph and secure the Mapon Expert device with a zip tie or tape.
It is strictly forbidden to stick the device on the tachograph!
