The following sections contain general information applicable to all test
procedures. Specific information relating to the performance of tests
using the Free Measurement Procedure may be found in 8: „Operation
- The Free Measurement Procedure‟.
Information necessary to conduct country specific tests (MOT, AU, APK
etc.) will be provided in separate documentation.
7.1
Testing Tips
•
Read and follow the procedures in this manual.
•
Keep the probe tip openings clean and free from debris.
•
Do not place the probe tip in liquids or allow liquids to be drawn into
the analyser sampling system. Contamination will affect the accuracy
of any future tests.
•
Do not insert the probe into an exhaust pipe until the vehicle engine is
at normal operating temperature. This allows time for the exhaust
system to vaporize any residual moisture.
•
Never move the analyser by pulling on the probe, sample hose or
power cord.
•
Never drive over the probe, sample hose or power cord.
•
Never place any liquids on the analyser that could spill and run into
the ventilation holes.
•
Clean any spilt liquids (gasoline, brake fluid, cleaning solvents etc)
from the exterior of the analyser immediately in order to protect the
finish.
•
In order to ensure accurate test results, perform a daily Leak Check
(Vacuum) as described in 9.2: „Leak Check (Vacuum)‟ below. This
check should also be performed after probe changes or filter service.
•
Prolonged use of the analyser in conjunction with a dynamometer and
a hot running vehicle under load may damage the sample probe and
affect readings. An alternative sample probe (P/N: 7009-1869-00) is
available for use in these circumstances.
