Sampling Pipes
Sampling pipe DX210-5C
The sampling pipe DX210-5C has remote control and is used to access mid-chassis exhausts
on large commercial vehicles. To use, hold the sampling pipe and the sampling head as shown
in the illustration with the arm rest under the forearm. The head of the pipe has a pivoting action
so that the 'aim' of the pipe can be changed by moving one arm forwards or backwards relative
to the other arm.
Use the hand lever to operate the jaws and clamp the pipe in position, then allow the remote
control and the sampling head to rest on the floor.
NOTE:
CAUTION:
WARNING:
Before fitment of a sampling pipe, inspect its 'O' ring for damage and renew if
necessary (order part number DX210-5/60).
Periodically apply a smear of grease to the 'O' ring to assist fitment of the
sampling pipe to the sampling head.
The results of free acceleration testing will be affected by changes in
sampling pipe diameter and/or length. Only genuine pipes must be used and
their design must not be altered in any way.
The smokehead body must always be positioned in clean air and away from
exhaust fumes when in use.
Sampling pipes can get very hot; take care when disconnecting from the
sampling pipe.
USING THE SMOKEHEAD OUTSIDE
If it is necessary or desirable to test a vehicle outside the workshop, the following points must
be borne in mind.
The sampling head is weather resistant and may be used in temperatures down to a minimum
of -15ºC. But in the case of severe weather and heavy rain
– DO NOT USE OUTSIDE
!
WARNING:
!
The power supply and PC are not weather protected and for the safety
of both the operator and the equipment, these parts MUST be kept
under cover in inclement weather conditions.
