Total breaks for the shift

Is there a way to display the total amount of time you’ve spent on breaks on the Siemens digi units without doing a printout. We have a mixture of digi and analogue so have to record both on a sheet each day detailing all rest and POA periods.

There is but it can be a bit long winded.

  1. Before withdrawing the driver card and with the tachograph screen showing the standard display press OK.
  2. Use the arrow keys to scroll down until the display reads Display Driver 1.
  3. Press OK.
  4. The screen displays Driver 1 24h Display.
  5. Press OK.
  6. Press OK again to accept the date.
  7. You will now see the days activities and will need to scroll down to the bottom of the list of activities to see the summary of the days activities where you can see the total breaks. (this can be the long winded bit).

Thanks. I’ll give that a try when I get back :slight_smile:

Only 1 problem with that, that I can see is, if the card is left in over night, it includes the rest period from midnight and adds it all together.

How about writing it down after each break period like they did in the olden days?!
