System overview
The Tachograph Kienzle MTCO 1324 sets
new standards in performance, technology,
and design due to its modular design with
separate display and recording. The MTCO,
which is in DIN radio compartment format,
is an innovative system component.
Driver 1 and driver 2 conveniently select the
respective working time groups via the
control keys.
Besides the date, time and distance trav-
elled, the selected working time groups and
the symbols of the inserted charts are
clearly shown in the display. Failures at the
device or of a system component will be
signalled automatically.
Like before, the vehicle speed and the dis-
tance travelled as well as the driver specific
driving, working and break times are
recorded on the tachograph chart.
Within the immediate field of view of the
driver, there is an approved indicating
instrument, like for example, the
E-Tacho 1323, with analogous vehicle
speed pointer, digital distance counter, time
and trip odometer. The function monitor
refers to messages of the MTCO 1324.
Together with the intelligent Kienzle tacho-
graph sensor KITAS 2170, the system
forms a reliable unit. The sensor provides
real-time pulses and encoded data for
recording the distance travelled and the
vehicle speed.
May all your journeys be pleasant!

General information
The symbols in these operating instructions
have the following meanings:
❒Notes for the operation of the
Kienzle MTCO 1324
•Only open the drawer for inserting or
removing the charts. Otherwise, keep it
shut at all times to avoid damages and to
prevent it from being contaminated.
•Do not use the drawer as a kind of
support, like for example, for writing on
the charts.
•Do not use any abrasive detergents for
cleaning the device, nor any solvents like
diluent or naphtha.
•The Kienzle MTCO 1324 will be installed
and sealed by authorised persons.
Please do not intervene at the device
or at the supply lines.
❒Notes for the handling of the charts
•The chart is driver-specific and may
thus not be transferred to other
persons !
•Use charts provided by the manufacturer
(original Kienzle tachograph charts).
Make sure that the full-scale value and
the approval mark correspond to those
on the tachograph, ➥see page 18.
•Only insert perfect charts, they may
neither be folded, nor be torn at the
perimeter and / or at the opening, nor be
wavy or damaged in any other way!
•The recorded charts must be safely
stored and protected against damage,
see also Section 15 of the CR (EEC)
No. 3821/85.
❒Reference to legal provisions
•Those who modify the settings of the
controlling device or at the signal feed
line, which influence the record issued
by the controlling device, especially
when intending to deceive, may violate
official penal provisions or administrative
regulations!
ATTENTION!
The text next to this symbol contains
important information, which has to
be observed to prevent the device
from being damaged.
NOTES
or additional information, which, if
not observed, may lead to failures,
are marked by this symbol.
