With the addition of the forward looking camera, the procedure to test the install of a DT4000REV7 on a truck has changed because it now includes a check to make sure the camera is pointing in the right direction. We’ve outlined for the truck test below:

  • DT4000REV7 – Installation Verification Procedure

1)      After installation, log on to the DT4000REV7 and run a health check - This will verify the unit is in working condition.

  1. Health Check "Run Test" button can be accessed from SYSINFO | Diagnostics | Health Check tab
  2. Follow instructions for the procedure

2)      Run a JBUS Audit - This will verify that the JBUS data portion of the DriverTech system is working properly

  1. "Audit JBus" button can be accessed from SYSINFO | Diagnostics | JBus tab
  2. This will send a message to FleetWatcher with all information received on the JBUS (J1939 and J1708)
        1. The FleetWatcher website will have the information on the Message tab for this vehicle.

3)  Calibrate the camera to verify the view and angle for recording video:

      1. Click on the camera icon to invoke the camera application located in the taskbar at the bottom of the page- You will need to close the Keyboard in order to see camera icon.

      2. Take a photograph and determine if camera adjustment is necessary.

      3. VERY IMPORTANT WARNING!
