Battery replacement

1. Place the NVH Interface face down and remove the four securing screws.
2. Remove the base cover from the NVH Interface.
3. Lift the old battery away from the connections.
4. Place the new battery in position. Make sure it has

the correct orientation.

5. Replace the base cover and secure it.

Connections

1. Connect the oscilloscope to your computer with the blue

USB cable supplied with the oscilloscope.

2. Connect the NVH Interface box to the PicoScope with the supplied BNC cables.

You will require one BNC cable when you use a microphone and up to three when

you use an accelerometer.

3. Connect either the microphone (a) or the accelerometer (b) to the NVH Interface.

Note: The extension cable provided may be used to extend the reach of either the 

microphone or the accelerometer.

4. Run the PicoDiagnostics software.

2. Slide the keeper off the mounting magnet(s).
3. Mount the magnet/sensor assembly to the prepared test surface by gently rolling

it into place. This will avoid damaging the surface.

The magnet can attract metallic objects or other magnets from large 

distances, causing trapping injuries unless care is taken when handling.

WARNING

To avoid an accident do not operate PicoDiagnostics or the kit while driving 

the vehicle. Take a passenger with you to operate the software.

CAUTION

To prevent damage or measurement errors make sure that you only use

To avoid entrapment take care to route any cables away from moving parts 

when you use the propshaft balancing accessories.
To avoid melting of cables take care to route them away from hot engine 

components when you use this product.
In order to protect the NVH magnet as well as nearby objects, make sure that

To conserve battery life do not store the NVH interface with a sensor 

connected. The interface is powered on whenever the sensor is connected.
Do not apply a voltage to the BNC or sensor connectors on the NVH 

interface. The BNC connectors are outputs only.
