LAUNCH KES-200 Cylinder Analysis
G-3
Cylinder analysis function includes power
balance test, cylinder efficiency test and
cylinder relatively compression pressure
test.
Power Balance
The relative efficiency of each cylinder of an
engine can be measured by the drop in RPM
when that cylinder is disabled. This is stated as
a % of the total RPM.
Note:
The power balance test is only applicable to
engines with 6 cylinders or less.
Units and Parts Required
To perform the power balance test, following
units are required:
z
KES-200 main unit (1PCS)
z
Engine analysis cartridge (1PCS)
z
Main cable (1PCS)
z
Battery cable (1PCS)
z
Cylinder 1 signal cable (1PCS)
z
Cylinder disabling cable (1PCS)
Connection
Refer to Fig.7-01 for connection of the test
cables.

Distributor
1.
Insert the engine analysis cartridge into
the cartridge slot of the KES-200 main
unit.
2.
Power the main unit from the battery or
the cigarette lighter.
3.
Connect one end of the cylinder 1 signal
cable to the channel 3 of KES-200, and
clip the other end (signal clamp) to the
cylinder 1 high-tension cable. Make sure
to let the side printed “plug side” towards
the spark plug.
4.
Connect the end with clamps of the
cylinder disabling cable to the primary
ignition coil (red to “+” and black to “-”);
connect the 15PIN connector to the main
cable. Connect the other end of the main
cable to KES-200 main unit.
Note:
♦
Make sure to connect the test cable
before starting the engine;
♦
As there is voltage on the probe while
testing, take care not to touch the
probe;
♦
The power balance test cannot be
performed if the unit is not properly
connected.
Operation Procedures
Insert the engine analysis cartridge into the
main unit. Then switch on the main unit. The
unit will enter the start interface. On the start
interface, press any key (except [Reset], [Power]
and [Exit]), the screen will display the main
menu as shown in Fig.7-02.
