Operation of EFAS – Workshop
By inserting a workshop card and entering the respective PIN, the digital tachograph EFAS enters the
mode CALIBRATION. This section describes how to enter the PIN, and also some aspects specific to the
CALIBRATION mode. Please refer to the workshop manual of the digital tachograph EFAS for further
information.
8.1
Entering the PIN
After the insertion of a workshop card, EFAS requests the entry of the respective PIN. The PIN consists
of 4 to 8 characters. The characters may be digits, upper-case letters, lower-case letters or special
characters; EFAS therefore divides all the possible characters in 4 groups.
The selection of each of the 4 to 8 characters of a PIN consists of the following steps:
1.
Select a character group
The first available group consists of the digits [1-0]. With key 2 you switch to the following character
groups „ABC", „abc", „@$#", and with key 1 you return to the previous character groups.
2.
Select a character
With the control keys you may select the next or previous character from a repeating series of
characters; the currently selected character is always shown in plain text in the first line.
Assign the character by pressing OK
3.
The assigned character is represented by a "*" and the input control moves to the next PIN charac-
ter position.
The key
allows you to step back to previous character positions in the PIN; the respective character is
displayed briefly. The character may then be changed as described above. If the key
positioned on the first PIN character, a question is displayed as to whether the card should be ejected.
Having assigned the last character of the PIN, confirm the whole PIN with a second OK. The card data
will be read and the PIN is checked.
If PIN validation fails, the number of remaining attempts at entering the PIN is displayed. Subsequently,
the PIN entry procedure starts again.
8.2
Performing a Test Run
It is also possible to perform test runs of the vehicle with your workshop card. Make sure that the work-
shop card is in the left-hand card slot. Before and after a test run, the same entries are required as for a
driver card (see section 5).
8.3
Output of Warnings in CALIBRATION Mode
In CALIBRATION mode, storage of some EFAS warnings is suppressed. However, these warnings are
displayed briefly on the EFAS display:
For the list of displayable faults ("SrvIDs") and for further information on
causes and solutions, refer to the EFAS Service Manual.
