DriveRight® 600E 8126HD Heavy-Duty


DriveRight Features

DriveRight 600E monitors and logs vehicle trip information including detailed driver performance data. The interactive LCD display allows you to set speed, acceleration and deceleration limits, and to view trip data. Drivers can see their driving performance in real time. Console displays time, distance, top speed, and average speed. An internal audible alarm alerts drivers whenever one of the pre-set limits (speed, acceleration, deceleration) has been exceeded. In the event of an accident or sudden stop, DriveRight 600E also records the vehicle speed for each of the 20 seconds before and after a sudden deceleration. Two digital inputs allow DriveRight 600E to monitor vehicle functions such as brake lights, headlights, seat belt use and power take off (PTO) use. The optional DriveRight GPS Module (#8128) provides detailed information about a vehicle’s route by recording the latitude and longitude at selectable time intervals. All data recorded by DriveRight 600E can be downloaded to a computer for use with the DriveRight Fleet Management Software (FMS, #8186). FMS provides powerful reporting and data storage capabilities and is compatible with five popular database platforms. Prevents unauthorized changes to data or thresholds, monitors multiple drivers through ID codes, protects data, and allows monitoring of brake lights, seatbelts, power take off switch, headlights. Enough memory for 600 trips and 10 accident logs.


Five download options make transferring data to your PC quick and easy.

1 2 3 4 5	Wireless Download System will transmit data directly to your PC when the vehicle is within 600 feet of the base station. Smart Card System uses data storage on cards to simplify administrative tasks, automatically identify drivers, and download data. Palm Download Kit allows you to download data into a Palm. Remote Download Kit for data transfer via a modem. A download cable, included with the software, lets you download directly from the console to your PC.

The DriveRight Wireless Download System Take all the trouble out of downloading driving data to your company PC. With the Wireless Download System, drivers just pull into your parking lot and their data is sent automatically to the PC. Drivers don't have to do anything or carry anything in the vehicle - it's that simple. Create a complete system using: One Wireless On-Board Module for each vehicle. One GPS/Wireless Interface Module for each vehicle. Enough Base Stations to cover the parking area. One Configuration Cable for the entire fleet.

The DriveRight® SmartCard System This system provides extra security and convenience. Use it to authenticate driver identity, download driving data, and simplify administrative tasks. Consists of four parts: SmartCard for each driver. Available in packs of ten, the SmartCard can be worn on a lanyard, clipped to a belt, or carried in a wallet. An On-Board Reader for each vehicle. The Reader is connected to the DriveRight 600E console in the vehicle. An optional Starter Interrupter Kit for each vehicle, to ensure that it can only be started by designated drivers only. A Desktop Reader connected to a PC back at the office, to be used in conjunction with the Fleet Management Software. To use the system, the driver simply inserts his SmartCard into the On-Board Reader before starting the vehicle. The driver's ID will automatically be relayed to the console for authentication. At the end of the trip, driver simply presses a button, and his driving data is automatically downloaded onto the SmartCard. Back at the office, fleet managers can quickly and easily download the data into their PCs using the Desktop Reader. They can also create administrative SmartCards to apply limits, thresholds, and authorizations to the DriveRight consoles—all without ever removing them from the vehicles.

Palm Download Kit With the Palm Download Kit, you can transfer your data from a DriveRight console to a Palm via an interface cable. No need to remove the console from the vehicle.

Remote Download Kit The Remote Download Kit allows drivers to download data remotely by connecting the DriveRight console directly to an external modem. When the modem dials into a computer running Fleet Management Software in a special hosting mode, the data will be transferred automatically.

*If outside the USA and Canada: OBDII on-board diagnostics became mandatory for all cars, pickups, and vans manufactured for sale in the U.S. and Canada beginning with model-year 1996. Many vehicles manufactured for sale elsewhere are also OBDII-compliant, and CarChip Fleet Pro and the OBD version of DriveRight 600E will work with these vehicles as well. However, there is no easy way to tell which are OBDII-compliant and which are not, even if the vehicle appears to have the proper connector. If you want to use CarChip Fleet Pro or the OBD version of DriveRight 600E, we suggest that you purchase a sample unit and test it in your fleet before committing to a larger purchase.
