From standby mode you press the function key and select the menu item ‘DIESEL’ with the up or down keys.
Confirm your selection with the enter key. Now the following screen will appear.
Figure 4. Smoke test
This screen will only appear if the smoke cell temperature is over 80 ºC. If the temperature is lower than 80 ºC the
INNOVA 500 will display the message ‘EDA heating’ and only the cell temperature is displayed.
If the opacity and max.opacity display shows the message ‘----‘, you need to perform a zero calibration. Press the
zero calibration key to activate a zero calibration.

Important!
We advise you to perform a zero calibration regularly. Take care that during a zero calibration the sample is
removed from the exhaust of the vehicle.
Printing
If you wish to print the actual values of the smoke meter, you can press the print key. The thermal printer of the
INNOVA 500 prints all relevant information including the date, time etc at a piece of thermal paper.
Warning: thermal paper has a restricted lifetime. Don’t store thermal paper near ‘hot’ sources.
