INTRODUCTION TO THE DRIVERIGHT 600
The DriveRight 600, in conjunction with the DriveRight Vehicle Man-
agement Software, provides advanced vehicle safety and use monitor-
ing capabilities as well as comprehensive fleet management
capabilities. This manual explains how to use the DriveRight 600 dis-
play unit to view information.
NOTE: Altering the DriveRight 600’s limits, deleting trip information, and
calibrating the DriveRight 600 require entry of a security code
before changes may be made.
A Note About the Concept of “Trips“
Much of the data stored and displayed by the DriveRight 600 is stored
and displayed by “trip.” For example, you may view the maximum
speed or the time spent driving over the set speed limit during a single
trip. You may page back and forth through all of the trips stored in the
DriveRight 600’s memory.
Stored in the DriveRight 600 is a “trip stop time” which represents the
amount of time for which the vehicle must be stopped before the Driv-
eRight 600 ends the current trip. The default trip stop time is 5 minutes
(this setting may be altered using the DriveRight Vehicle Management
Software). Whenever the vehicle is not 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 new trip (this new trip will remain blank
until the vehicle begins moving again).
NOTE: The DriveRight 600 also saves the current trip data whenever 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, always warn drivers about the DriveRight 600’s alarms. If
an alarm sounds, a driver who has not been warned may be startled or
get distracted trying to trace the source of the noise. In either case, it
may create a safety concern, so warn drivers in advance.
