USER GUIDE

Safety InformationBefore using this equipment, carefully read, understand and follow instructions and safety messages on equipment and in this guide.

This guide cannot anticipate or provide advice and cautions for all situations encountered by technicians. With this in mind, always follow and refer to the manuals provided by the manufacturer of the vehicle or equipment being tested or used for all information and testing procedures whenever diagnosing, repairing or operating such vehicle or equipment.

Failure to follow the instructions, cautions and warnings provided here as well as those provided by the vehicle and equipment manufacturers can result in fire, explosion, bodily injury and property damage.

In addition to the information listed below, additional warnings and cautions are listed throughout the guide. Please read them carefully.

Fuel vapors are toxic and explosive, which can cause severe injury or death.• Useproperventilationtoavoidbreathingfuelvapors.

• Minimizecontactwiththeskinwiththeuseofgloves(suchasnitrilegloves)whenthereispossibility of getting methanol fuel on your hands.

• Iftheskinisdirectlyexposed,washtheareaimmediatelyandchangeanyclothesthathavebecome wet with fuel.

• Alwayswearapprovedsafetyglasseswhentesting.Shouldfuelgetintoeyes,flusheyesimmediately with water and consult your physician.

Vehicles emit flammable vapors which can ignite.• Keepflames,sparks,cigarettesandotherignitionsourcesawayfromthevehicleatalltimes.

• Incaseoffire,neverusewatertofightflamescausedbymethanolormethanolblendedgasoline.Thiswillcausetheflamestospreadinsteadofextinguishingthem.

• Useadrychemicalextinguishertofightflames(preferablyonemarkedABC,thoughBCisacceptable).AfoamextinguisherisacceptableonlyifitisARFgrade,whichisresistanttoalcohol.

Before beginning any tests, make sure the test environment is safe and the vehicle meets these conditions:• Testareashouldbewellventilated.

• Vehicleshouldbeinpark.

• Wheelsshouldbeblocked.

Technical Information

Time ScalesWhen setting the time scale for viewing and capturing a wave it is important to choose the right time scale. The chosen scale during live viewing sets the sample rate and the saved wave length since the wave buffer is always 4096 samples long.

All warranty claims must be submitted as outlined by the manufacturer and shall be processed in accordance with the manufacturer’s established warranty claim procedures. These procedures include provisions that proof of purchase must be established (by either warranty card from the seller or by point of purchase receipt) and that the manufacturer will make every attempt to return ship the product within one business day from receipt of the returned product, freight prepaid.

In addition, all maintenance procedures, as outlined by the product manuals, should be followed for the warranty to be kept in force. Should the product not be used in accordance with procedures as specified, or if the product otherwise fails outside of the warranty, the manufacturer reserves the right to make such judgment and the party returning the product will be notified that written notification will be necessary to repair the product at a cost which the manufacturer deems as reasonable. The product will then be shipped back to the customer, COD; or as the manufacturer deems appropriate.
