4.8 Tachograph
The factory-fit Tachograph option uses a
Siemens VDO system. It is recommended,
therefore, that any vehicle that requires a
tachograph is sent to an authorised Siemens
VDO Tachograph Service Centre for system
installation and calibration.
Details of all recommended Service Centers can
be found on Siemens web site. This site also
contains details of current regulations and
tachograph operation.
4.8.1 Legislation
WARNING: All tachographs require
the same wiring connections as this
is controlled by tachograph
legislation.
There are two types of tachograph available, See
below diagrams, E75501 mechanical (MTCO)
and E75502 digital (DTCO). The type of
tachograph required by the customer will depend
on the legislation in the country of use.

Pin Assignment
For detailed information about pin assignments
please contact your local National Sales Company
representative or Siemens VDO directly.
Wiring
NOTE: Not all instrument panel looms contain
tachograph wiring.
The tachograph wiring consists of two parts:
•Speed sensor harness – this is a separate part
which attaches to the instrument panel
harness at the junction of the firewall and floor
pan, close to the centre of the vehicle.
•Instrument panel harness – this contains the
remainder of circuits for the tachograph.
4.8.2 Tachograph Mounting
Standard Ford installation uses a pod on top of
the instrument panel. The tachograph mounts in
the aperture nearest the instrument cluster. Note
the rear mounting bracket in the centre of the
DIN aperture in the below diagram E75503.
