4.6 Taking an oil temperature reading (Certain analyzers only)
Connect the oil temperature probe to the instrument and check it reads ambient temperature. Turn off the
vehicle engine. Remove the oil dip stick from the engine and set the depth of the probe to that of the dip
stick using the stop. Insert the probe into the engine.
The oil temperature will be displayed :
4.7 Reading the engine speed (RPM) (Certain analyzers only)
Connect the induction pickup to one of the spark plug leads ensuring the side indicated by ‘SPARK PLUG SIDE’
points to the spark plug. Connect the pickup to the instrument ensuring correct polarity, "+" to red and "-" to
black. Set 4 cycle/2 cycle or DIS as detailed in section 5.2.2.
NOTE:
If the pickup is positioned close to other leads false readings may occur. For some types of ignition
system (eg DIS) the probe may need to be fitted "reversed" to produce readings.
4.8 Regular Checks During Sampling
Care must be taken at all times not to exceed the analyzers operating specifications, in particular ensure
the following :
• DO NOT PLACE THE INSTRUMENT IN THE ENGINE BAY.
• The analyzer is not exposed to temperatures outside its normal operating range.
• DO NOT PLACE THE INSTRUMENT ON A HOT SURFACE.
• Liquid in the water trap does not go over the level indicator. Note! The indicator only works
while the trap is vertical. Water condenses in the probe line and can quickly fill the water trap
when the probe is moved.
Take care
, watch the water trap closely and empty any water when
it is noticed.
• The in-line particle filter is clean and does not become blocked. If this filter is allowed to
become dirty then damage may occur inside the analyzer.
• Do not start up or zero the unit in an area exposed to exhaust gas emissions.
