TACHOGRAPH CALIBRATION DEVICE for TE-500 HANDHELD TACHOGRAPH SERVICE TOOL truck tractor

TE-500 Handheld Tachograph Service Tool
General Information
TE-500 Handheld Tachograph Service Tool — General Information
TE-500 is a handheld diagnostic and service terminal designed exclusively for K-Line communication at 10,400 bps.
It reads and writes tachograph parameters (DID/diagnostic data) and offers quick test routines directly from the device—no PC, CAN, or external UDS interface required.

What TE-500 Works With
MTCO 1324/1390 (analog tachographs)

VDO 1381 (digital tachographs)

Stoneridge SE5000 (digital tachographs)

EFAS V4 and higher (digital tachographs)

DTCOSim (tachograph simulator for Trucks, Bus, CityBus, Military Vehicle, for vehicles outside the scope of the law)
What You Can Do
Measure W: Acquire the W factor for calibration workflows.

Parameters (Read/Write): Access and adjust key tachograph data. Depending on the model, available items include:

K Factor, Odometer, Installation/Calibration Dates, Time & Date

O/P Shaft, Service Delay, CAN Priority/Repeat Rate/Baudrate (125-250-500 Kbps)

Binary/Product Codes, VIN, N-RPM Factor, Tyre (L/Tyre Size)

Model-specific “Specific / PAGE1–PAGE4” items on digital units (e.g., VDO 1381).

Tests: Run Speed Test and Odometer Test routines.

DTCs: Read and Erase diagnostic trouble codes where supported.

Sensor Pairing: Execute pairing procedures with the speed sensor (supported models).
Simple, Consistent Operation
TE-500 is menu-driven. Select a function, the device reads the current value over K-Line, and the screen shows the result. Four soft keys streamline daily work:

F1 – Refresh (re-read current value)

F2 – Edit / Save

Enter Edit Mode to change the value

F1 exits edit mode without saving

F2 saves (writes the new DID), then the device re-reads to confirm and displays the updated value

F3 / F4 are context keys used by specific menus (when applicable)

Device Menus (Highlights)
Main Menu

MTCO 1324/1390: Measure W, Parameters, Speed/Odometer Tests, Erase DTCs, Sensor Pairing

Digital VDO 1381: Measure W, Parameters (Calibration, Other, Specific Pages 1–4, Information), Speed/Odometer Tests, Read/Erase DTCs, Sensor Pairing

Digital SE5000 and EFAS (if present): Similar structure with Calibration/Other/Specific/Information

Device Setup: Licence, device settings, Wi-Fi SSID/password (where applicable), base licence

Language Setup: Türkçe / English / Deutsch/ Russian/ Spanish

About: Manufacture date, serial number, version, manufacturer (Tutku Elektronik), Made in Türkiye
Communication & Protocols
Physical layer: K-Line (ISO 9141 / ISO 14230 style timing) at 10,400 bps

Diagnostic services: KWP2000/UDS-over-K-Line and manufacturer-specific commands as required by each tachograph model


Notes & Limitations
TE-500 is a stand-alone K-Line device. It does not currently provide PC connectivity, CAN bus diagnostics, or UDS over CAN.

Available parameters and functions may vary by tachograph model and software version.

Update Device
We have enhanced our device with an advanced automatic update feature, accessible via an internet connection.
Each time the device is powered on, it automatically checks for the availability of new software updates if connected
to the internet. If a new update is available, the device seamlessly initiates the update process,
ensuring that it always operates with the latest software enhancements. This feature not only improves
the device's performance and capabilities but also provides users with the latest functionalities and security
features. It is designed to keep the device up-to-date effortlessly, minimizing the need for manual interventions
and providing a more efficient, reliable, and secure user experience.
