F1 Inserted by Council Regulation (EC) No 2135/98 of 24 September 1998 amending Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport and Directive 88/599/EEC concerning the application of Regulations (EEC) No 3820/85 and (EEC) No 3821/85.

F2 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1360/2002 of 13 June 2002 adapting for the seventh time to technical progress Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport (Text with EEA relevance).

III. CONSTRUCTION AND FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS FOR RECORDING EQUIPMENT U.K.

9. Detection of events and/or faults U.K.

[058] This function shall detect the following events and/or faults:

9.1. Insertion of a non-valid card ‘’ event U.K.

[059] This event shall be triggered at the insertion of any non-valid card and/or when an inserted valid card expires.

9.2. ‘ Card conflict ’ event U.K.

[060] This event shall be triggered when any of the valid cards combination noted X in the following table arise:

Card conflict		Driver slot
		No card	Driver card	Control card	Workshop card	Company card
Co-driver slot	No card
	Driver card				X
	Control card			X	X	X
	Workshop card		X	X	X	X
	Company card			X	X	X

9.3. ‘ Time overlap ’ event U.K.

[061] This event shall be triggered when the date/time of last withdrawal of a driver card, as read from the card, is later than the current date/time of the recording equipment in which the card is inserted.

9.4. ‘ Driving without an appropriate card ’ event U.K.

[062] This event shall be triggered for any tachograph cards combination noted X in the following table, when driver activity changes to DRIVING, or when there is a change of the mode of operation while driver activity is DRIVING:

Driving without an appropriate card		Driver slot
		No (or non-valid) card	Driver card	Control card	Workshop card	Company card
Co-driver slot	No (or non-valid) card	X		X		X
	Driver card	X		X	X	X
	Control card	X	X	X	X	X
	Workshop card	X	X	X		X
	Company card	X	X	X	X	X

9.5. ‘ Card insertion while driving ’ event U.K.

[063] This event shall be triggered when a tachograph card is inserted in any slot, while driver activity is DRIVING.

9.6. ‘ Last card session not correctly closed ’ event U.K.

[064] This event shall be triggered when at card insertion the recording equipment detects that, despite the provisions laid down in paragraph III(1), the previous card session has not been correctly closed (the card has been withdrawn before all relevant data have been stored on the card). This event shall be triggered by driver and workshop cards only.

9.7. ‘ Over speeding ’ event U.K.

[065] [F3 This event shall be triggered for each over-speeding. This requirement shall apply only to vehicles falling within category M2, M3, N2 or N3, as defined in Annex II of Directive 2007/46/EC, establishing a framework for the approval of motor vehicles and their trailers.]

Textual Amendments

F3 Substituted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1266/2009 of 16 December 2009 adapting for the tenth time to technical progress Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport (Text with EEA relevance).

9.8. ‘ Power supply interruption ’ event U.K.

[066] This event shall be triggered, while not in calibration mode, in case of any interruption exceeding 200 milliseconds of the power supply of the motion sensor and/or of the vehicle unit. The interruption threshold shall be defined by the manufacturer. The drop in power supply due to the starting of the engine of the vehicle shall not trigger this event.

9.9. ‘ Motion data error ’ event U.K.

[067] This event shall be triggered in case of interruption of the normal data flow between the motion sensor and the vehicle unit and/or in case of data integrity or data authentication error during data exchange between the motion sensor and the vehicle unit.

[F4 9.9 bis. ‘ Vehicle Motion Conflict ’ event U.K.

[067a] This event shall also be triggered when a zero speed measurement is contradicted by motion information from at least one independent source for more than one uninterrupted minute.

[067b] In cases where the vehicle unit can receive or elaborate speed values from external independent source of motion information, this event may also be triggered if such speed values significantly contradict those elaborated from the motion sensor speed signal for more than one minute.]

Textual Amendments

F4 Inserted by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1266/2009 of 16 December 2009 adapting for the tenth time to technical progress Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport (Text with EEA relevance).

9.10. ‘ Security breach attempt ’ event U.K.

[068] This event shall be triggered for any other event affecting the security of the motion sensor and/or of the vehicle unit as specified within the generic security targets of these components, while not in calibration mode.

9.11. ‘ Card ’ fault U.K.

[069] This fault shall be triggered when a tachograph card failure occurs during operation.

9.12. ‘ Recording equipment ’ fault U.K.

[070] This fault shall be triggered for any of these failures, while not in calibration mode:

• VU internal fault,

• printer fault,

• display fault,

• downloading fault,

• sensor fault.] ]
