Introduction to the DriveRight 600E The DriveRight 600E, in conjunction with DriveRight Fleet Management Software (FMS), provides advanced vehicle safety and monitoring capabilities as well as comprehensive fleet management capabilities. This manual explains how to use the DriveRight 600E to view information and change DriveRight 600E settings. A Note About the Concept of “Trips” Much of the data stored and displayed by the DriveRight 600E is stored by “trip.
Using the DriveRight 600E Using the DriveRight 600 E This section briefly describes the DriveRight 600E display, the use of the four buttons (PLUS, MINUS, MODE, SET/CLEAR) and the sequence of Data Screens and Settings Screens. Descriptions of the information and options available from each screen are explained separately in “Data Screens” starting on page 8 and “Settings Screens” starting on page 15. Note: Never attempt to change the DriveRight 600E display while driving.
DriveRight 600E Screens Data Screens The Data Screens display most of the information stored in the DriveRight 600E device. To cycle through the Data Screens (in the order shown below), press and release MODE several times. The GPS Latitude and Longitude Screens are not displayed if the DriveRight 600E device is not connected to a vehicle with a corresponding GPS module or if the device has not been configured to log GPS data via FMS.
Calibrating the DriveRight 600E Note: To exit the Settings Screens and view the Data Screens, press and hold MODE until the Current Readings Screen displays. CODE CLEAR LOG SETTINGS Security Code (First Screen) SETTINGS Clear Log YEAR ALARM SETTINGS SETTINGS Alarm On/Off Year Entry DAY.
Calibrating the DriveRight 600E from the DriveRight 600E’s default of 4000 pulses per mile, or if the vehicle’s pulses per mile are not known. VSS versions should be calibrated using the speedometer (see “Calibrating Using the Speedometer” on page 5), or by using the distance reading (see “Calibrating Using Distance Readings” on page 7) or, if the vehicle’s pulses per mile reading is known, can be calibrated using FMS.
Calibrating the DriveRight 600E Speed Reading MPH km/h SPEED SETTINGS DISTANCE MILES Km Distance Reading Calibration Speed Calibration Screen 4. Drive the vehicle until it reaches 40 km/h (25 mph) and keep the vehicle steady at that speed. 5. Press and hold SET/CLEAR once the vehicle is moving steadily at the calibration speed. The word CAL appears in the top right of the display. This indicates that the DriveRight 600E is in the process of calibrating.
Calibrating the DriveRight 600E Be aware that the DriveRight 600E responds to changes in speed faster than most vehicles’ speedometers. To accurately compare, drive steadily at one speed for a short time. 8. Fine tune the calibration by pressing PLUS or MINUS. Each time PLUS or MINUS is pressed, the DriveRight 600E speed reading adjusts up or down.
Data Screens 5. When finished driving, compare the vehicle’s distance reading to the distance reading on the DriveRight 600E. 6. Increase or decrease the distance measured by the DriveRight 600E until it agrees with the vehicle’s odometer reading. This is accomplished from the Calibration Screen. 7. Press and hold MODE to access the Settings Screens. 8. Press and release MODE until the Calibration Screen displays. The distance traveled appears at the lower left of the display.
Data Screens Current Readings Screen The Current Readings Screen display is constantly updating (when the vehicle is moving) speed, distance (for the current trip), and acceleration/deceleration readings (acceleration is positive, deceleration is negative). The current date (or time) is also displayed on this screen. Current Speed Date (or Time) DAY.
Data Screens Note: Although trip type can be specified using the DriveRight 600E display device, FMS must be used to view the trip type for each trip. • Turn Display Lamp On/Off — To turn the DriveRight 600E’s display lamp on or off, press PLUS. View the Current Readings Screen, or the GPS Screen to turn the display lamp on and off. Note: The lamp does not turn off if the vehicle is in motion. The lamp automatically turns off once the log out time has elapsed.
Data Screens Note: Driver ID code 0000 (four zeros) is used to view information for the vehicle (all drivers) and should not be assigned to any driver. In addition to marking data as belonging to a particular driver, the Driver ID code may be used on the device to filter the information being viewed. To view information for one specific driver, enter that Driver’s ID code in this screen. The DriveRight 600E display filters out any data not assigned to that code.
Data Screens Code Entry Screen. To view all trip times for the vehicle, enter ID code 0000. Note: If the end time for a trip is “dashed,” it means that the current trip is being viewed, which has not yet ended (unless it was restarted in the middle of a trip). .

Miscellaneous Information • DriveRight 600E is manually rebooted. When a tamper is logged, “TAMPER” displays on all screens if the tamper light has been enabled using FMS. The time at which the tamper attempt occurred and the cause of the tamper are also stored in the tamper log. The last 10 tamper events can be downloaded, viewed and printed, using FMS. To clear the flashing TAMPER segment, enter the correct security code (see “Security Code Screen” on page 16).
Miscellaneous Information To install a new battery, insert the battery as shown below. Installing the Battery A low battery can be replaced without losing the time or date settings, if it is replaced within 20 seconds of the old battery being taken out. If the old battery has a complete loss of power before it is replaced, make sure to check the time and date settings once power has been restored.
Troubleshooting Guide Battery Life When removed from a vehicle, the DriveRight 600E taps into its own battery for power (instead of relying on the vehicle’s battery). A DriveRight 600E can operate for 260 hours or up to 4 months in sleep mode on battery power alone. The life of the battery depends on the download schedule. For example, if the DriveRight 600E is taken out of the vehicle 5 days a week, 8 hours a day, the battery can last up to 16 months.
Troubleshooting Guide (www.davisnet.com) or send an e-mail to tech support (support@davisnet.com). Note: Please do not return your DriveRight 600E for repair without prior authorization. Many of the troubleshooting suggestions below relate to the positioning of the magnet and reed-switch speed sensor used only by the DriveRight 600E General Duty (# 8126GD) and DriveRight 600E Heavy Duty (# 8126HD) models. • I can't turn the LCD lamps on or off.
Troubleshooting Guide • The speed reading on the DriveRight 600E agrees with my vehicle’s speedometer, but the distance reading on the DriveRight 600E and my odometer differ (or vice versa). For best accuracy, calibrate using the vehicle’s odometer (see “Calibrating Using Distance Readings” on page 7). Use the PLUS and MINUS buttons to readjust the distance reading to match the vehicle’s trip meter reading periodically, to maintain accuracy.
