1. In chapter I, the following definition is inserted: "(rr) "adaptor" means: a part of the recording equipment, providing a signal permanently representative of vehicle speed and/or distance travelled, and which is: installed and used only in M1 and N1 type vehicles (as defined in Annex II to Council Directive 70/156/EEC) put into service for the first time between 1 May 2006 and31 December 2013 ,installed where it is not mechanically possible to install any other type of existing motion sensor which is otherwise compliant with the provisions of this Annex and its Appendixes 1 to 11, installed between the vehicle unit and where the speed/distance impulses are generated by integrated sensors or alternative interfaces.
Seen from a vehicle unit, the adaptor behaviour is the same as if a motion sensor, compliant the provisions of this Annex and its Appendixes 1 to 11, was connected to the vehicle unit. Use of such an adaptor in those vehicles described above shall allow for the installation and correct use of a vehicle unit compliant with all the requirements of this Annex. For those vehicles, the recording equipment includes cables, an adaptor, and a vehicle unit. "2. In chapter V, section 2, requirement 250 shall be replaced by the following: "250. The plaque shall bear at least the following details: name, address or trade name of the approved fitter or workshop, characteristic coefficient of the vehicle, in the form "w = … imp/km", constant of the recording equipment, in the form "k = … imp/km", effective circumference of the wheel tyres in the form "l = … mm", tyre size, the date on which the characteristic coefficient of the vehicle was determined and the effective circumference of the wheel tyres measured, the vehicle identification number, the part of the vehicle where the adaptor, if any, is installed, the part of the vehicle where the motion sensor is installed, if not connected to the gear-box or an adaptor is not being used, a description of the colour of the cable between the adaptor and that part of the vehicle providing its incoming impulses, the serial number of the embedded motion sensor of the adaptor."
3. In chapter V, section 2, the following requirement shall be added: "— 250a. — Installation plaques for vehicles equipped with adaptors, or for vehicles where the motion sensor is not connected to the gear-box shall be fitted at the time of installation. For all other vehicles, installation plaques bearing the new information shall be fitted at the time of inspection following the installation."
4. After Appendix 11, an Appendix 12 as set out in the Annex to this Regulation is added.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 68/2009 of 23 January 2009 adapting for the ninth time to technical progress Council Regulation (EEC) No 3821/85 on recording equipment in road transport (Text with EEA relevance)
interfacing and adapting the incoming speed pulses, inducing the incoming pulses to the embedded motion sensor, all functions of the embedded motion sensor, providing secured motion data to the VU.
the "power supply interruption" event shall be triggered by the VU, while not in calibration mode, in case of any interruption exceeding 200 milliseconds of the power supply of the embedded motion sensor (066), any power supply interruption of more than 200 ms (milliseconds) of the adaptor shall generate a power supply interruption of the embedded motion sensor of equivalent length. The adaptor interrupter threshold shall be defined by the adaptor manufacturer, the "motion data error" event shall be triggered by the VU in case of interruption of the normal data flow between the embedded motion sensor and the VU and/or in case of data integrity or data authentication error during data exchange between the embedded motion sensor and the VU (067), the "security breach attempt" event shall be triggered by the VU for any other event affecting the security of the embedded motion sensor, while not in calibration mode (068), the "recording equipment" fault shall be triggered by the VU, while not in calibration mode, for any fault of the embedded motion sensor (070).
name and address of the manufacturer of the adaptor, manufacturer’s part number and year of manufacture of the adaptor, approval mark of the adaptor type or of the recording equipment type including the adaptor, the date on which the adaptor has been installed, the vehicle identification number of the vehicle on which it has been installed.
name of the manufacturer of the embedded motion sensor, manufacturer’s part number and year of manufacture of the embedded motion sensor, approval mark for the embedded motion sensor.
the adaptor housing shall be sealed (see ADA_017), the housing of the embedded sensor shall be sealed to the adaptor housing, unless it is not possible to remove the embedded sensor without breaking the seal(s) of the adaptor housing (see ADA_018), the adaptor housing shall be sealed to the vehicle, the connection between the adaptor and the equipment which provides its incoming pulses shall be sealed on both ends (to the extent of what is reasonably possible).
that the adaptor carries the appropriate type approval markings, that the seals on the adaptor and its connections are intact, that the adaptor is installed as indicated on the installation plaque, that the adaptor is installed as specified by the adapter and/or vehicle manufacturer, that mounting an adaptor is authorised for the inspected vehicle.
