It is designed to record the time spent by the driver on driving the car, as well as others manipulation.Therefore, you should first familiarize yourself with all its nuances and installation rules.

Purpose and types of device

The tachograph can be compared to the “black box” on an airplane in terms of its operating principles. The main function is to register the machine’s movement parameters and store this information in memory. Employees and management can then view the history. In general, the device is used to monitor compliance with the work regime and rest of subordinates. What modern tachographs do:

  • record the vehicle's mileage and its speed;
  • mark the time of driving, breaks and other work performed by the driver;
  • register all data, encrypt it and save it in a form protected from editing.

The last option that the device performs is especially important.
The information he recorded is as reliable as possible and cannot be changed. It can be used as evidence in resolving controversial issues. The data recorded by the device is accepted in court. There are 2 main types of devices: analog and digital tachograph. The first version of the control device is more practical; it is installed on ZIL more often. Information is recorded thanks to a cryptographic module with increased data storage capacity, a global positioning system.

What is a tachograph and where to get one

A tachograph is a device for monitoring driving time, speed and route. This is necessary so that the driver does not fall asleep at the wheel and his car does not cause an accident. Perhaps this will save someone’s life and save hundreds of thousands of rubles.

This is a digital tachograph. From January 1, 2021, mechanical tachographs are prohibited, as they are considered ineffective and now all tachographs are digital

Tachographs are most often sold by the same companies that install them. But just buying a tachograph is not enough. To start working with it, you need to install and register it. See how much you have to spend on installation.

Tachograph cost On average 30,000 rubles
Installation from 6000 rubles
Activation from 2000 rubles
Driver card from 3500 rubles
Total from 41,500 rubles

Activation is possible only in accredited centers - they must have permission from the Ministry of Transport, Rosavtotrans and the FSB. In essence, activation is registration in the Rosavtotrans system. The register will contain data about the company or individual, his tax identification number, region and city, as well as vehicle data - make, model, color, VIN and PTS number. The registration response takes from thirty minutes to several hours, depending on the workload of the data center.

The driver card is needed to store information:

  • • personal data of the driver;
  • • his photo;
  • • movement speed;
  • • route;
  • • time of rest and work;
  • • distance traveled.

Operating principles of the device

The main tachograph unit is located in the cab of the car so that the driver has access to the external control panel. Modern models have screens that display basic information about system operation. When the engine is turned off, due to the powerful battery, the device operates in autonomous mode. It also contains a volatile memory module, therefore, the recorded information is saved 100%. To transmit information about the movement of the car, a speed sensor is connected to the device using standard sockets.

To start using the device, you need to install a personal driver card - a key card. Only then will information be correctly recorded and stored in memory. The cards contain special chips with a limited service life. Periodically, they require reissue. Driver cards are personalized, that is, they are made in the name of the person who will drive the car. The main task is to identify the person who drove the freight transport in a certain period of time.

What does the law say about the tachograph on ZIL?

Documents adopted by the legislation of the Russian Federation strictly control freight transport with devices for recording traffic parameters. This is necessary to prevent the exploitation of state-owned dump trucks by employees for personal purposes, conflicts between superiors and subordinates, and illegal activities of private owners.

So, is a tachograph required for a ZIL according to the law, and what main documents confirm this:

  • Customs Union Regulation 018/2011, which includes criteria for the design of cargo vehicles;
  • Federal Law No. 196 of July 26, 2017 “On Road Traffic Safety”, obliging car owners to equip them with monitoring devices;
  • Order of the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation No. 237 dated 08/21/13, which states what specific devices are equipped with vehicles operating on commercial flights.

The above standards apply to trucks weighing 3,500 kg and above. The weight of all types of dump trucks exceeds this mark; accordingly, the law applies to them.

Is it necessary to install a tachograph on a personal ZIL?

Most truck owners believe that they do not have to equip their vehicle with a monitoring device, since they do not work for a company and conduct private business. But, due to changes in legislation, this judgment is now erroneous. Whether a tachograph on a ZIL 130 is needed or not previously depended on the purpose of its operation by the driver. This is the most popular type of truck, which is used in construction work, commercial and passenger transportation. Today, the answer is unequivocal - yes. Until November 1, 2019, it was necessary to install monitoring devices only for cars operated by legal entities. This meant that private owners were exempt. But, from November 1, 2021, a new clause has been added to the Law “On Road Traffic Safety”.

From November 1, 2021, the device must be installed on private trucks of category C. This rule also applies to private buses of category D.

Payment of fines in the EU

Traveling to Europe with a personal or rental car can result in big troubles. When driving a car, it is worth remembering that the fines in the EU are much higher than in Russia. Depending on the situation, solutions to this problem vary:

  1. If you have a receipt for an offense in your hands, it is easier and better to pay it as quickly as possible at the nearest bank branch; remember that if you pay within one to two weeks, you will be given a significant discount; if there is a delay, on the contrary, you will be charged huge pennies.
  2. If a violation is recorded on a video surveillance camera, a letter will be sent to you; depending on the country in which your car was captured on camera, the punishment varies: in Switzerland, for example, they will send a letter so that it can easily reach you and in Russia, in Finland you will be detained right at the border and forced to pay; The point is that most letters with a fine for driving without a tachograph may not arrive, however, if you do not pay the receipt, you can expect difficulties in obtaining the next Schengen card.

How to install a tachograph

To equip a vehicle with a device, contact a service center. The company must have the appropriate permits. These organizations are registered with Rosavtotrans and are issued licenses to work with cryptographic equipment. You will not be able to carry out the installation procedure yourself.

The installation process for the device is as follows:

  • when ZIL is being prepared for installation, specialists select a place to install the tachograph in such a way that the driver can carry out manipulations without being distracted from driving; this requires the installation of special brackets or the laying of routes to connect the system;
  • the device is unpacked, connected to the on-board network, speed sensor, connections are isolated;
  • The tachograph together with the cryptographic module is activated, after which the device is calibrated to ensure the accuracy of the collected data.

At the end of the installation process, the instrument housing is sealed. Manipulation is needed to protect the system from interference, attempts to edit information, or malicious damage. When the device is packaged in a sealed case, it is placed in the slot and secured.

A tachograph is a useful device both for superiors to monitor the work of subordinates, and for private entrepreneurs involved in passenger or cargo transportation.

What is the fine for driving without a tachograph?

If a truck or bus does not have a tachograph, the driver will be fined 3,000–5,000 rubles. For individual entrepreneurs and LLCs that sent a car without a tachograph - up to 50,000 rubles. That is, an individual can also receive a fine for a tachograph.

If a driver drives more than the norm, he will be fined 2,000 rubles. Business owners will also get it: an individual entrepreneur can lose up to 25,000 rubles, and a company can lose up to 50,000 rubles. Here is another fine for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.

If the device shows that the working time in the timesheet differs from the actual one, then the employer will be attracted by the state labor inspectorate under the article on violation of labor legislation. Penalty for such a violation:

  • • For legal entities - from 50,000 to 70,000 rubles for repeated violation.

What to do if the tachograph breaks down during a flight

By law, if a tachograph does not record driving parameters or does not read a card, it is considered faulty. Driving with a faulty tachograph is equivalent to driving without it, and this will result in a fine.

If the device breaks down during a trip, the driver can move on, but only towards a repair shop or parking lot. You can move in this mode for no more than seven days. It is important to keep track of working hours at the same time - on a special form. Ask for this form from the tachograph manufacturer or the company that sold it to you. This form will help you protect yourself from a fine if you are stopped by a traffic police officer. In this case, you will not receive a fine for a faulty tachograph.
