INTRODUCTION TO THE DRIVERIGHT 600

The DriveRight 600, in conjunction with the DriveRight Vehicle Man­agement Software, provides advanced vehicle safety and use monitor­ing capabilities as well as comprehensive fleet management capabilities. This manual explains how to use the DriveRight 600 dis­play unit to view information.
NOTE: Altering the DriveRight 600’s limit s , dele tin g trip in fo rma tio n , and
calibrating the DriveRight 600 require entry of a security code before changes may b e m ade.

A Note About the Concept of “Trips“

Much of the data stored and displayed by the DriveR ight 600 is sto red and displayed by “trip.” For example, you may view the maximum speed or the time spent drivin g over the set spee d limit durin g a single trip. You may page back and forth thr ou gh all of the trips stor ed in the DriveRight 600’s memory.
Stored in the DriveRight 600 is a “tr ip stop t ime” which r e pr esents the amount of time for which the vehicle must be stopped before the Driv­eRight 600 ends the current tr ip. The default trip stop ti me is 5 minutes (this setting may be alte red using the DriveRight Vehicle Management Software). Whenever the v ehicle is n ot in motion for an amount of time equal to the trip stop time, the DriveRight 600 saves the current trip data to memory and begins a n ew tr ip (this new t rip will re main blan k until the vehicle begins moving again).
NOTE: The DriveRight 600 also s aves the current trip data whenev er a
driver “logs out” (see “Driver ID Code Entry & Digital Input Status Screen” on page 11).

A Word About Safe Use

It goes without saying that you should never attempt to change the DriveRight 600 display while you are driving. Safe driving requires extreme attentiveness. Changing the DriveRight 600 display while driving may result in dangerous distraction. Only use the unit when you are not operating your vehicle.
In addition, alwa ys wa rn drivers about the Driv eRight 600’s alarms. I f an alarm sounds, a driver who has not been war ned may be startled or get distracted trying to trace the source of the noise. In ei ther case, it may create a safety concern, so warn drivers in advance.

USING THE DRIVERIGHT 600

This section briefly describes the use of the DriveRight 600 display unit. The use of the four buttons (PLUS, MINUS, MODE, SET/ CLEAR) and the sequence of data screens and settings screens is explained. Descriptions of the information and options available from each screen are explained separately in “Data Screens” starting on page 1 0 and “Settings Screens” starting on page 18.

Using the Four Buttons

The DriveRight 600 has four buttons: PLUS, MINUS, MODE, and SET/CLEAR. The general use of each button is explained briefly below:
❏
PLUS/MINUS
When a digit or segment (e.g., MPH or KPH) is flashing, use the PLUS and MINUS keys to scroll forward or backward (respectively) through the available options (usually 0 to 9).
When viewing any logged trip information screen, use the PLUS and MINUS keys to page for w ard or backward (respectively) through the stored trips.
❏
SET/CLEAR
When entering codes or setting limits, the flashing digit/seg­ment indicates what will change if PLUS or MINUS is pressed. Pressing and releasing SET/CLEAR causes the next digit/segment to begin flashing.
From the Driver ID Code screen, press and hold SET/CLEAR (for at least 2 seconds) to “log out.” The dri ver ID code is reset to 0000.
❏
MODE
Press and release MODE to move to the next data or informa­tion screen.
Press and hold MODE to switch between the group of data screens and the group of settings screens.
When the unit is in sleep mode, p ress M ODE to “w ake” the u nit up .

Changing Units of Measure

To change units of measure, press and hold SET/CLEAR for at least 2 seconds while viewing the Current Readings screen. You may also change units from the Limit and Units Settings screen by pressing SET/CLEAR until either the km/h or MPH segment is flashing, and then pressing PLUS to toggle between the two units of measure.
You may change the date display format from the Date Entry screen and the time display format from the Time Entry screen.

The Data Screens

The data screens enable you to view most of the information stored by the DriveRight 600. To cycle through the data screens (in the order shown below), press and release MODE.

CALIBRATING THE DRIVERIGHT 600

You must calibrate the unit before it will report the correct speed, distance, decelera ti on, a nd a c celeration. Calibration adjusts the unit to work properly with your vehicle’s VSS signal or with the vehi­cle’s differential and tire size.

Calibrating from the Software (VSS & VF Only)

If you have the DriveRight Fleet Management Software or DriveRi­ght Vehicle Management Software and a VSS or VF DriveRight 600, you may quickly and accurately calibrate the unit using the soft­ware, provided you kn ow the pulses per mile used by your vehicle’s VSS (vehicle speed sensor).
❏
Contact your dealer’s service department for the pulses per mile used by your vehicle’s VSS.
❏ Instructions on calibrating the DriveRight 600 using the soft-
ware can be found in the software he lp.

Calibration Using the Speedometer

In order to c ali br at e using the speedometer, you must drive steadily at 40 km/h (25 MPH) and press a button on the DriveRight 600. The DriveRight 600 bases its calibration on the speed of the v ehicle at the moment of calibration which it assumes to be 40 km/h (25 MPH). Because of the nature of this calibration procedure, we strongly rec­ommend that it be performed by two people: one to drive the vehi­cle and one to operate the DriveRight 600.
NOTE: If you have entered a security code, you will need to enter that
code before the DriveRight 600 will allo w access to the calib ra­tion screen.
1. Press and hold MODE to access the settings screens.
2. Press and release MODE until the Calibration screen appears.
The calibration speed (40 or 25 ) app ear s at the bo tto m righ t of the dis­play. The uncalibrated speed reading appears at the top of the display, along with the unit of measure (km/h or MPH). Note that until you calibrate the DriveRight 600 this speed reading will be inaccu rate . The distance, which appears in the lower left of the display, is not nec­essary for this calibration procedure
