1. DESCRIPTION
The Adapter MS013 COM is used for diagnostics of alternator voltage regulators. The device gives an
opportunity to test voltage regulators both separately from the alternator and in assembly with the
alternator with the test bench for diagnostics of alternators, or directly in the car. Contemporary
voltage regulators (alternators) with COM (LIN/BSS) terminal cannot be properly tested without
such diagnostic adapter. The diagram below provided by the company Bosh illustrates that these
types of voltage regulators oust the others and can be mounted in low-cost cars by now:
The Adapter MS013 COM simulates control signals for the tested voltage regulator. It contains
integrated physical interfaces and program protocols of all actually existing voltage regulators. The
device’s control is easy and user-friendly, the indication is very convenient due to the color 4.3” TFT
display.
The main feature of this device is an opportunity to update software through USB port if new
protocols appear.
The adapter has additional functions: a PWM generator and an oscillograph. They can be useful
when repairing both the alternator and the whole car.
