The STIHL ADG 2 is a digital analyzer designed for testing STIHL and VIKING cordless power tools. It serves as a diagnostic tool for servicing dealers, enabling them to assess the performance and identify potential issues with cordless power tools and their batteries. The analyzer requires an original STIHL battery for testing, with a maximum capacity of 50 Ah and a maximum voltage of 42 V.

Function Description

The primary function of the STIHL ADG 2 is to facilitate diagnostic testing of cordless power tools. When connected to a power tool via an adapter and powered by a suitable STIHL battery, the analyzer can:

• Perform self-tests: Upon connection to a power supply, the analyzer runs a self-test, indicated by a sequence of green, yellow, and red LED glows before turning off.
• Communicate with power tools: It establishes data exchange with the cordless power tool to retrieve diagnostic information.
• Check control operation: The analyzer can monitor the operation of various controls on the power tool, such as trigger switches, displaying their current status (e.g., "OFF 0%", "ON 100%").
• Identify faults: It detects active faults and intermittent faults that occurred in the past, displaying corresponding damage codes. Active faults prevent the power tool from operating, while intermittent faults are stored in the power tool's fault memory.
• Clear fault memory: After repairs, the analyzer allows for clearing the fault memory of the power tool.
• Display battery status: The analyzer works in conjunction with the battery's built-in LEDs to indicate the battery's state of charge and any issues like overheating, overcooling, or general battery faults.
• Support software updates: The analyzer's firmware can be updated to support new cordless power tools, batteries, and diagnostic functions. This can be done directly via diagnostic software with internet access or indirectly through data supplied by the subsidiary.

Important Technical Specifications

• Mains voltage: 220-240 V (50 Hz version) or 120 V (60 Hz version).
• Power consumption: 5 W (220-240 V / 50 Hz version) or 8 W (120 V / 60 Hz version).
• Insulation: Class II.
• Overvoltage category: II.
• Pollution degree: 2.
• Max. operating altitude: 2000 m.
• Max. relative humidity: 80%.
• Max. tolerance of mains voltage: +/- 10%.
• Battery type (for testing): Lithium-ion (original STIHL rechargeable batteries).
• Connectivity: USB interface 1.1 or higher for connection to a computer.
• Display: Integrated display for showing test results and instructions.
• User interface: Two pushbuttons for navigation and confirmation.
• LED indicators: Light Emitting Diodes on both the battery and the analyzer to convey status information (green for normal, yellow for intermittent fault, red for active fault or critical condition).

Usage Features

• Language selection: The analyzer supports multiple languages, which can be selected and confirmed via its pushbuttons.
• Diagnostic software integration: The ADG 2 is designed to work with STIHL diagnostic software installed on a computer. This software provides a more comprehensive interface for diagnostics, updates, and data management.
• Step-by-step instructions: The analyzer's display provides clear, step-by-step instructions during the testing process, guiding the user through procedures like inserting the battery, adapter, and operating controls.
• Safety warnings: The manual emphasizes critical safety precautions, such as eliminating the risk of accidents from power tool attachments before testing, operating the analyzer indoors in dry locations, and using it within specified temperature ranges (+5°C to +40°C).
• Adapter system: A specific adapter is used to connect the cordless power tool to the analyzer, ensuring proper communication and power delivery for testing.
• Fault code display: When a fault is detected, a two-digit damage code is displayed, which can be referenced for repair procedures and warranty claims.
• Data retention: The analyzer temporarily stores data from the cordless power tool for about 30 minutes after the adapter is removed, allowing for review of active faults and fault memory entries.
• Automatic display shutdown: The battery's LED display automatically turns off after 5 seconds to conserve power.

Maintenance Features

• Regular inspection: Users are advised to regularly inspect the analyzer's power cord, connecting cord to the power tool, and adapter for damage. Damaged components should be immediately disconnected and repaired by a qualified electrician.
• Cleaning: Plastic surfaces of the analyzer should be cleaned with a cloth, avoiding aggressive detergents that could damage the plastic.
• Software updates: The diagnostic software and analyzer firmware require periodic updates to ensure compatibility with new products and to incorporate improved diagnostic functions. These updates are crucial for maintaining the analyzer's effectiveness.
• Proper storage: The analyzer and its USB cable should be stored in a dry, locked location, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons, and protected from contamination.
• Battery handling: If the battery's LEDs indicate it is too hot or cold, it should be removed from the analyzer to cool down or warm up before restarting the test. If battery fault LEDs persist, the battery may need to be replaced.
• Disposal: Electrical appliances, including the ADG 2, should not be disposed of in general garbage but taken to an approved disposal site for environmentally friendly recycling. STIHL servicing dealers can provide information on waste disposal.
