5 Important Notice Follow the manufacturer's instructions when holding the cut-off speed of diesel engines! All armatures used for NO calibration must be corrosion resistant and suitable for NO and NO x. Venting holes must not be blocked. Only use the supplied network cable with protective ground! Only connect the network cable to a socket with an earth contact! To prevent the tester from becoming damaged, always unplug it before cleaning with compressed air! Never allow the probe to be bent!

7 Connected equipment that uses voltages higher than 50 V AC or 75 V DC must comply with the Low Voltage Directive 73/23/EWG. To comply with the requirements of the 89/336/EWG Directive on electromagnetic compatibility, only shielded cables with appropriately shielded plug connections may be used. Mains connections with standard plugs and the specific cases listed as exceptions do not have to be shielded.

9 Safety Instructions Before using the instrument, ensure that the O 2 sensor and NO sensor outputs are open and not covered by the cap and that the discharge hose is connected. The tester can become damaged or produce errored measurement results if operated with the gas outlet closed. Before using the instrument after moving or transporting it, check that the condensate outlet hose is not obstructed in any way, otherwise condensate may flow back into the measuring cell and contaminate it. After transport or storage at low temperatures and after setting up the tester, remember that it needs at least one hour for the temperature to stabilise before being switched on (to avoid condensed water forming). A tester stored at temperatures below 0 C must be allowed to adjust to at least +2 C before being switched on. Do not allow the tester to draw in exhaust gas for an unnecessarily long time. Only insert the probe into the exhaust pipe when this is necessary for measurements. Otherwise the probe should be continuously purged with ambient air with the pump running. Never let the probe lie on the floor. Never let liquids (e.g. water) or any other impurity be drawn into the tester through the probe. The exhaust gas probe must never by bent. Never place the tester in hot sun, rain, snow, corrosive atmospheres, or atmospheres contaminated with petrol fumes. Ensure that where possible, the tester is connected to a plug socket or mains phases that are not loaded by other equipment with high starting currents (such as welding equipment, drills, compressors, extractor fans). Make sure that within a radius of about 5 m of the tester no equipment is used that causes serious electromagnetic interference (such as radio telephones, electronic welding equipment, large electric motors etc.). The opacity measuring chamber must never be placed directly behind the exhaust pipe of a vehicle (because of the danger of soiling). If the display indicates insufficient gas flow, check whether the hose or probe is kinked or blocked, or whether the filters are soiled and need cleaning or replacing. Only ever use standard DITEST exhaust probes. Only ever use standard DITEST spare parts. Regular maintenance of the filter units (replacing the pre-filter, condensate filter and filter cartridge in the filter housing) is absolutely necessary to ensure long service life and to guarantee that the instrument functions correctly. Before switching the instrument off, the 4/5-gas unit should be purged with clean ambient air with the pump running for a few minutes. The 4/5-gas measuring instrument must be calibrated every twelve months.

10

11 Important Instructions Follow the safety instructions for handling O 2 sensor and NO sensors (see section 5.5.1) for handling calibration gas containing CO (see section ). Check whether the calibration seal is out of date (on side of evaluation unit). If it is out of date, the tester must be re-calibrated by the respective weights and measures office before the equipment is used. Should the calibration seal be broken or damaged, the tester must be re-calibrated. Remember that certain maintenance work carried out by the user (see section 5.1 Maintenance Plan) must be documented (i.e. entered in the maintenance log book).

Measuring rpm on engines with ignition distributor Clip the trigger clamp onto any ignition lead between the distributor and spark plugs. Fig Modern ignition systems with engine map control or loop control are mostly coded, i.e. to adjust the ignition point, you have to implement a measure defined by the manufacturer. For this purpose therefore, always follow the manufacturer s instructions. Angle measurement Use either the trigger cable on cylinder one and a strobe, or a trigger cable on cylinder one and a TDC sensor cable. Drawing a curve with the strobe To record the adjustment with the strobe graphically, the rpm must be increased and held in stages. At each increased rpm stage, adjust the strobe until the marks on the engine are in alignment again. This will give you a stepped representation of the adjustment curve. Drawing a curve with a TDC sensor When using a TDC sensor and trigger clamp, the signals are recorded continuously. Increase the rpm and watch the adjustment curve on the display - the data is recorded and calculated automatically. Operating Manual 2-15

86 Maintenance AVL Changing the O 2 and NO Sensors When the O 2 sensor or the optional NO sensor needs replacing, the appropriate message is output on the display. Switch the tester off and disconnect it from the mains. Remove the cover plate on the right-hand side of the tester rear panel by undoing the four screws. Changing the O 2 sensor Note If the optional NO sensor is installed, the O 2 sensor is on the right-hand side on the mounting. Disconnect the lead from the sensor. Unscrew the sensor out of the mounting. Screw in the new O 2 sensor (ident. no. EZ0147). Reconnect the lead to the sensor. Changing the NO sensor Pull the NO sensor (located on the left-hand side on the mounting) backwards out of its mounting. Insert the new NO sensor (ident. no. EZ0206). Screw the cover plate back onto the rear panel of the tester, ensuring that the ground cable on the plate is plugged in. Observe the safety instructions for handling O 2 and NO sensors (section 5.5.1)! Old sensors must be properly disposed of (they are highly toxic waste)! O 2 and NO sensor replacement must be documented (i.e. entered in the maintenance book). After replacing a sensor, the new sensor must be re-parametrised. For calibration instructions for the NO sensor, see section Gas Calibration. Parametrisation of the O 2 sensor: Reconnect the mains cable and switch the tester on. Connect the probe (including all probe filters) to the tester. Press the following keys when the main menu appears: Service mode 4/5-gas analyser O 2 sensor The tester will then draw in fresh air for 10 minutes, during which time the O 2 sensor stabilises itself (the time left to wait is continuously displayed). A new O 2 sensor must be parametrised to prevent any damage occurring to the 4/5-gas analyzer. O 2 sensor replacement must be documented (i.e. entered in the maintenance log book). 5-6 Operating Manual

87 4000 Maintenance Safety Instructions for Handling O 2 and NO sensors The O 2 and NO sensors are supplied fully sealed and under normal circumstances do not represent any hazard to health. The following instructions apply in the event of a sensor developing a leak. Before you remove a sensor from the gas-tight original packaging, check it for leaks. If you detect damage caused by a leak, always avoid contact with the skin. In this event, use rubber gloves and goggles. The O 2 and NO sensors contain caustic and other substances that are hazardous to health (e.g. caustic potash solution and lead). When replacing sensors, check both the old and the new one for leaks. First Aid Contact with the eyes Rinse eyes with water for at least 15 minutes - consult a doctor immediately. Contact with the skin Remove contaminated clothing immediately. Wash the affected part of the body thoroughly with water. If a burning sensation is felt on the skin, consult a doctor immediately. Swallowing Drink a lot of cold water. Consult a doctor immediately. Operating Manual 5-7

88 Maintenance AVL Condensate Trap The condensate trap at the rear of the tester is designed to prevent water and condensate from entering the 4/5-gas measuring instruments. Empty and clean the condensate trap, when it is about 2 3 full (don t wait until it automatically disables the intake), if the measurement values for hydrocarbon (HC) are too high when air is drawn in. Cleaning Switch the tester off. If the float switch in the condensate trap has already blocked the intake, open the particulate filter housing to release the underpressure. Unscrew the collecting vessel of the condensate trap and empty if necessary. Only use warm soapy water to clean it. Rinse after with clean water. Screw the collecting vessel back on tightly (but do not force it). Close the particulate filter housing again, if applicable. Carry out a leak check (see section 5.8). When unscrewing and screwing the collecting vessel back on, be careful not to damage the float! 5-8 Operating Manual

89 4000 Maintenance 5.7 Cleaning the Condensate Side of the 4/5-Gas Measuring Instruments This part should be cleaned every six months or once a year, especially if the instrument is often used to test non-catalytic-converter vehicles or 2-stroke engines. It should also be cleaned if the condensate end of the pump starts to leak. Accessories: Cleaning hose with filter Length l = m; diameter d i = 6 mm and hole diameter max. 1 mm (the best way to clean it is by drawing through a 50/50 % mixture of air and cleaning fluid) Connector Hose fitting for connecting the condensate discharge hose and the probe hose Cleaning fluid approx. 2 5 l (water with non-foaming detergent) Procedure Switch the instrument off. Open the hose connection between the condensate filter and check valve. Connect the cleaning hose with filter straight to the check valve. Clean the probe hose and probe with clean, oil-free compressed air. Caution: the probe hose must not be connected to the exhaust gas tester! Connect the probe hose and the probe to the condensate discharge hose (on the pump) using a connecting piece Now set up a rinsing fluid circuit as shown: 4 10 Hole Cleaning hose with aperture 2...

90 Maintenance AVL 4000 N.B. Large amounts of deposits tend to be washed away when you first start cleaning. Do not therefore feed the cleaning fluid back into the circuit to start with. The length of time depends on the level of soiling; guideline ~30 s). Switch the instrument on and activate the pump. The cleaning process itself should take about half an hour When cleaning is completed, rinse the system in the same way with cold water. Remove the cleaning hose from the check valve and let the pump run on for ~30 s. Switch the pump off. Remove the cleaning hose and the probe hose. Clean the probe hose and probe with clean, oil-free compressed air. Caution: the probe hose must not be connected to the exhaust gas tester! Replace the condensate filter on the rear panel of the instrument. Connect the hose between the condensate filter and check valve. Replace the filter in the probe hose. After cleaning, carry out a leak check Operating Manual

91 4000 Maintenance 5.8 Leak Check The tester automatically prompts you to carry out a leak check once a day. Carry out an extra leak check when you change the filters and clean the condensate side of the 4/5-gas measuring instruments (for manual call-up of the leak check, see below). To carry out the leak check, follow the instructions on the screen. The hose and probe must be connected when a leak check is carried out! Manual call-up of the leak checks When you are in the main menu, press the following keys Service mode 4/5-gas analyser Leak check Leak check failed If the tester fails the leak check, check the entire sampling line for leaks from the tip of the probe to the inlet on the rear panel of the tester. Check whether the gas flow is insufficient (see section 3 Diesel Measurements). If you find no leaks, disconnect the probe hose from the tester. Connect a 2 m hose that is guaranteed leakproof to the inlet port of the tester, close it off and carry out another leak check. If the system passes the test, the leak must be in the probe/hose assembly. If the system fails the leak check, check the O-rings in the filter housing and condensate trap and check whether the connections for the probe hose and condensate drainage hose are leaking. Replace all the tester s filters, including the probe pre-filter. If the system still fails the leak check, there must be a leak inside the system or the pump is too weak. Contact your service engineer. Also check whether the tester has been stored with condensate in it at temperatures below 0 C (leaks may be caused by ice). Operating Manual 5-11

92 Maintenance AVL System Check With Filter Switch the tester on. From the Diesel menu, select controlling measurement (CONTR) and then Verification with Filter (FLT).

95 4000 Maintenance Gas Calibration This tester must be calibrated every twelve month. Each gas calibration (using the calibrating gas certified by the gas gas supplier) must be documented (i.e. entered in the maintenance log book). The optional NO sensor should be calibrated every 1 to 3 months. All armatures used for NO calibration must be corrosion resistant and suitable for NO and NO x. The gas calibration can and may only be carried out by authorised personnel! The calibration process is for calibrating both the 4/5-gas unit and the optional NO sensor. The component that is defined by the input of the calibration values is calibrated (see below). Current meas. value Display/input of calibration values MEAS. VAL. CAL.

If the values are input correctly, acknowledge this message by pressing >>. Fig. 5-6 The equipment must have stabilised for 30 minutes. It cannot be used until after the internal check (or wait) period has elapsed. WAIT 30 MIN Sometimes stability is not achieved after 30 minutes, in which case the tester continues to stabilise (although 0 MIN continues to be displayed). Fig. 5-7 Observe the safety instructions for handling calibrating gas containing CO (see section ). The calibrating gas flowing out of the tester must be conducted as far away as possible - preferably, out of doors. Calibrating one or more testers repeatedly can cause damage to health as well as resulting in faulty calibrations. After 30 minutes (or earlier if it has already stabilised), the following message is displayed: KEEP GAS CYLINDER CLOSED Connect the calibrating gas to the CAL GAS connection and keep the cylinder valve closed. Then press >> Fig. 5-8 The system then resets for about 35 s. Operating Manual 5-17

To obtain the correct hexane concentrations, multiply the propane gas concentration of the gas by the PEF (see page 5-16). Error message Calibration not possible Make sure that the concentration of the calibrating gas lies within the specified tolerance and that the correct calibrating gas is being used. Check the calibration values that have been input. Check the calibrating gas pressure. Switch the tester off and on again at the main switch and repeat the calibration. If the calibration is still unsuccessful, there is a fault in the 4/5-gas measuring instruments. Operating Manual 5-19

100 Maintenance AVL Safety Instructions for Handling Calibrating Gas Containing CO or NO x Carbon monoxide (CO) is a colourless and odourless gas and cannot therefore be seen or smelt! NO is a colourless gas - in air it can be recognised because of its stinging smell caused by reaction with humidity. Safety instructions When you have finished calibrating the tester with gas, always remember to close the gas cylinder containing the calibrating gas. Headaches, dizziness, buzzing in the ears and fainting (after several hours or at the end of the working day) are signs of CO poisoning. Smoking raises the CO concentration in the blood and can cause symptoms of poisoning even if there is only a low level of CO in the air. Take care that all necessary safety devices are available! First Aid in the event of poisoning Fainting or unconsciousness indicate acute danger to life! (The person affected is usually red in the face, not pale!) Close the calibrating gas cylinder immediately. Place an oxygen mask over the person s face. Call an ambulance and a doctor immediately. Thoroughly ventilate the premises.
