2. AUTO PARTS TESTER DESCRIPTION

It is advisable to read the content of this manual
before using the Tester. The four main testing modules that
make up the equipment will be described in this section:

• Sensor Testing Module

• Power Supply Testing Module

• Regulator Testing Module

• Ignition Coil/Module Testing Module

2.1 Sensor Testing Module
It consists of a 2x16 character LCD screen, three
plugs and a push button, allowing for testing the sensors
as described in section 3.1 - Sensor Testing.
2.2 Power Supply Testing Module
This consists of a DC power supply with 12 and 24
Volts, with maximum current capacity of 10 Amperes.
This module has a digital screen that shows the voltage
(Volts) or current (Amperes) provided. Right beneath the
digital screen is a switch for change the unit of measure
between "VOLTS" and "AMPS".
NOTE: In case of short-circuit, the power supply is imme-
diately deactivated to prevent damage. To reactivate it,
press the "POWER SUPPLY/RESET" button.
When the Tester is turned on, the power supply
testing module will be deactivated. To turn it on, press the
"POWER SUPPLY/RESET" button. The default start-up
voltage is 12 Volts. To switch to 24 Volts, press the corres-
ponding button.

2.3 Regulator Testing Module
The regulator testing module consists of:
• Red button, "ALTERNATOR REGULATOR" – starts up
the regulator testing module. To exit, press the "POWER
SUPPLY/RESET" button
• "TYPE A" and "TYPE B" switch – selects the type of regu-
lator field to be tested
• "TEST" switch – hold it down to perform the test on the
regulators
• LEDs in the colors yellow, green and red identified as:
"LOW, NORMAL, HIGH" – serve to determine the voltage
range of the regulator ("SET POINT")
• 25-pin connector for connecting the regulator testing har-
ness (RM01)
• "FIELD" lamp – works like the alternator rotor and allows
for observing the control performed by the regulator
• "PILOT" lamp – works as the lamp on the dashboard of
vehicles and indicates a failure in the loading system
NOTE: The rated voltage of the regulator is selected with
the "12" or "24" Volts buttons on the power supply testing
module. The adjusted voltage of the regulator is shown on
the digital screen, on the left side.
To end the test with regulators, press the "POWER
SUPPLY/RESET" button.
2.4 Ignition Coil/ Module Testing Module
The Ignition Coil and Ignition Module testing mo-
dule only operates at 12 Volts. In order to enter this mo-
dule, the Tester must be in starting condition, in which the
power supply is at 12 Volts and the regulator testing modu-
le is deactivated.
This module consists of the following parts:
• "MODULE/COIL" button – allows for starting up the tes-
ting system. To exit, press the "POWER SUPPLY/RESET"
button
