PIWIS Tester III (PT3)

9.1 VCI configuration
The VCI (Vehicle Communication Interface) hardware is now a compact, slim component.
The diagnostic connector is connected permanently to the electronics. There is no
longer a lead between the connector and hardware. The connection parameters to
the VCI can be set via the configuration software. The VCI is always connected to the
vehicle during a diagnostic session (even if the tester is connected via WLAN). The VCI
itself always needs an external power supply (either the vehicle or VCI docking station)
because it does not have its own battery. At the very beginning, the PT3 and VCI must
be configured together (pairing). This involves writing the serial number of the VCI into
the tester and writing the serial number of the tester into the VCI. One PT3 can only
be paired with one VCI.
9.1.1 Pairing
To perform pairing correctly, the PT3 and VCI must be connected using the Y-shaped USB
cable supplied in the white case. Then open the ‚General‛ tab under ‚VCI configuration‛.
After a waiting time of 90 ” 120 seconds with the devices connected, the ‚Perform
pairing now‛ button on the tester interface turns black and can be activated. When
‚pairing‛ is finished, the serial numbers of the VCI and PT3 are exchanged and stored.
To confirm the ‚pairing‛, a green confirmation tick appears on the PT3 screen and
the LEDs on the VCI turn green and light up continuously. The warning buzzer in the VCI
comes on automatically and is preset to a time of 45 minutes. The warning buzzer and
activation time can be changed or deactivated.
