IMPORTANT NOTICES

PC/COMPUTER SELECTION

The PC/Computer that you install the Bowmonk Connected software on must:-

• Be a Microsoft Windows computer. No other operating system (e.g. Apple Mac/IOS, Android tablet etc.) is supported.
• Be using the Windows 7, 8, 10 or 11 operating systems (Excluding ‘Embedded’ versions).
• Windows 10 & 11 devices must NOT be in ‘S’ mode (‘Store’ mode).
• Be connected to the internet.

 

DVSA ‘KEY’ TYPES AT INSTALLATION

• If the certificate issued to you for use with your Bowmonk decelerometer has a hyphen/dash in the filename (e.g. “1234AA-1.zip”, “1234AA-2.zip” etc.), then you MUST use Bowmonk Connected Release 2.0 or later.
• Also, any NEW installation MUST also use the latest available release.
• Bowmonk Connected software is no longer delivered with the deceleometer, and is now only available by direct download (See below).
• If you have a saved copy of a Bowmonk Connected release package, please be aware that it may be out-of-date.

Please see the Software Releases list below for the latest release. The User Guide and Release Note are also available below.

USE WITH SNAP-ON SYSTEMS

• Users of Snap-On’s “DGA 6000 Link” or “Geogas 6000 Link” systems Version 6.0.0.0 and later do NOT need to install our Bowmonk Connected software, as these Snap-On systems will already work with Bowmonk or Tapley electronic decelerometers. Please contact Snap-On directly if you need to add a Bowmonk or Tapley decelerometer to your Snap-On system.
• For earlier version of Snap-On systems that do not work with our decelerometers, and if the Snap-On computer is the machine going to be used to upload brake test results from a decelerometer, then Bowmonk Connected will still need to be installed on the Snap-On computer.

REMOTE SUPPORT

• Bowmonk Ltd. offers a reasonably priced remote installation service. Our IT technicians can remotely connect to your PC and complete the installation or upgrade for you, along with a short ‘how-to-use’ explanation for MOT testers.
