1. Safety
Before activating, installing and calibrating the STC-8250 digital tachograph, please read
this preparation (workshop) manual.
General Precautions
ALWAYS use only ASELSAN authorized accessories. (Download devices,
calibration tools, cables and etc.).
Other unauthorized accessories have the risk of fire hazard, explosion, personal
injury or damage to the STC-8250 digital tachograph.
Risk of Accident!
For traffic safety reasons, please do not attempt to insert or withdraw the
workshop card(s) while the vehicle is moving!
Caution!
Changes or modifications to the STC-8250 digital tachograph may void its
compliance with government laws/rules and make it illegal to use.
Avoid using the STC-8250 digital tachograph at temperatures below -25°C or
above 70°C.
Avoid storing the STC-8250 digital tachograph at temperatures below -30°C or
above 75°C.
Caution!
If the STC-8250 digital tachograph is stored more than 30 months on the shelf
without installing to the vehicle, the battery in the tachograph is discharged and
encryption keys can be erased because of it. In this case, “Internal fault - 032-xxx-
000-000” warning appears and tachograph will be useless. To avoid this, please
change the battery before due date.
Please read this preparation instructions carefully before installing the STC-8250
digital tachograph into a vehicle.

2. Introduction
2.1 General
The ASELSAN STC-8250A digital tachograph (hereinafter abbreviated as STC-8250) is a secure
recording device which records the driving times, work periods, availability periods and rest
periods of the driver and co-driver. Additionally, STC-8250 automatically records the speed
and distance covered by the vehicle. The securely recorded vehicle and driver related data by
the digital tachograph serve as proof for the controlling bodies (e.g. police). The digital
tachograph STC-8250 complies with the technical specifications as specified in the
Commission regulation (EC) No. 1360/2002 of 13 July 2002 and Commission regulation (EC)
No. 1266/2009 of 16 December 2009, the 7th and 10th adaptations of Council regulation (EEC)
No. 3821/85 to the technical progress of Recording Equipment in Road Transport respectively.
This preparation manual is intended to serve as a guidance document especially for workshop
personnel who is responsible for installation, calibration, maintenance, and periodic
inspection and decommissioning. This manual describes the detailed usage of the digital
tachograph STC-8250 as specified in the regulation. The primary concern of this document is
Calibration Mode of operation. Read the corresponding sections carefully and familiarize
yourself with the individual functions and menu settings, installation, inspection, maintenance
and software update operations of the STC-8250 digital tachograph. However, reading the
user manual (knowledge of operational mode) is necessary in case of driving a tachograph
installed vehicle for calibration or testing purposes.
This workshop manual also provides guidance to the personnel of vehicle manufacturers who
install the STC-8250 digital tachograph into the vehicle during production and perform some
basic configurations.
