Before Installing CarChip

Before installing CarChip Fleet or CarChip Fleet with Alarm in your vehicle,
we recommend that you add the device to the database in the DriveRight Fleet
Management Software (FMS) and check the CarChip settings.

1. Connect CarChip to your computer. See instructions on page 3.

2. Add the CarChip to your DriveRight FMS database.

Note:

Refer to the DriveRight FMS Help or User’s Manual for instructions on using DriveR-
ight FMS.

3. In DriveRight FMS, verify the following CarChip settings and change if

necessary:

• Time and date

• Engine performance data parameters

• Speed bands

• Acceleration limits and deceleration limits

• LED State (Controls both the LED and alarm on CarChip Fleet with Alarm)

4. Use the

Clear CarChip Memory

command in the DriveRight FMS CarChip

menu to clear the device’s memory. This step ensures that none of the man-
ufacturing test data remains when you put your CarChip into service.

Configuring CarChip Fleet with Alarm

1. Select the Set CarChip LED State command in DriveRight FMS CarChip

menu. The Set CarChip LED State command controls the alarm and LED
functions.
