”CONTINUOUS” SMOKE TESTING
Following the warm-up sequence, the AUTO600 can be used for
continuous smoke testing and will monitor the exhaust smoke opacity
continuously in “real time”. In fresh air the reading will be zero.
Setting up test parameters
To change the measurement units press the “UNITS” button to select
either %H (Hartridge) or k (/m).
To change vehicle category press “MODE” until “MENU” option is
displayed. Press “ENTER” and scroll to “Cat A/B” using the “UP” or
“DOWN” key. Press “ENTER”. Select “CatA” or “CatB” and press
“ENTER” to confirm the option required.
It is important that the end cap is fitted for Cat B vehicles and not fitted
for Cat A vehicles. The smoke test results obtained will not be within the
stated accuracy unless the cap is fitted as described.
Press “MODE” to exit back to the main test screen.
CAUTION:
Ensure the vehicle is at normal operating temperature
particularly its oil temperature!
