• 25-pin connector - connection for the ignition module
testing harness (RM02)
• "SPEED" switch – allows for reducing or increasing
signal frequency, simulating the speed variation in the
vehicle
• "SIGNAL SELECTOR" switch – allows for selecting the
EN
type of input signal for operating the ignition module
o Position 1 – magnetic "PICK-UP" signal
o Position 2 – "HALL" effect signal
o Position 3 – default "RENAULT" signal
o Position 4 – default "DELCO-DIS" signal
The testing method is described in section 3.4 of this
manual
• Spark Gap - allows for observing the high-voltage spark
when testing the ignition coils and modules
• "R/EXT", "R/INT" and "NEG" plugs – connection for
cables for testing the ignition coils (PU02)
• High-voltage cable for testing the ignition coils
• 3-pin DIN type connector – High-Voltage Probe
connection (KV40)
• High brightness LEDs – allow for analyzing some ignition
module output signals, testing optical sensors and Hall
type signals built into the modules
• Digital screen – indicates the high-voltage value (in Kilo-
volts) generated by the tested ignition coil
NOTE: If a short circuit occurs between the
BLACK test tips of the module testing harness (RM02), the
power supply will be deactivated immediately to prevent
damage. To reactivate the ignition coil and module testing
module, press the "POWER SUPPLY/RESET" button and
then the "MODULE/COIL" button.

3. TESTING METHODS

3.1 Sensor Testing

This module allows for testing sensors with va-
riable voltage or variable frequency signals. In addition, it
allows for checking the output signal from the regulators
controlled by the vehicle's ECU and the output signal to
the tachometer in some ignition modules.
The sensor testing module is always active, so
that it can be used by other testing modules of the equip-
ment.
To start the test, first select the type of signal to be
measured: Variable voltage or variable frequency.
There are three plugs: RED, reference voltage +5 Volts;
GREEN, input signal to be measured, and BLACK, ground
signal.
The procedures to test each type of sensor can be
found on the website www.gauss.com.br/bt010

3.2 TESTS WITH THE POWER SUPPLY MODULE

The power supply allows for testing automotive
parts that require 12 or 24 volts for operation.
To use it, turn on the Tester, press the "POWER SUPPLY/
RESET" button and the green LED should light up. The
initial available voltage is 12 Volts. To change it to 24 Volts,
press the 24V button. The power output plugs (positive
and negative) are right beneath the "12V" and "24V" se-
lection buttons. They are used to supply power to the part
to be tested.
The digital screen shows the DC voltage or cur-
rent consumed. Right below the screen is a switch that
allows for select reading in Volts or Amperes.
RED and
ATTENTION: The maximum current capacity of the
power supply is 10 Amperes, so don't test parts that
consume current above this threshold to avoid over-
loading the power supply, which could damage it.
The power supply has short-circuit protection. If
this occurs, to reactivate it, remove the short circuit betwe-
en the testing cables and press the "POWER SUPPLY/
RESET" button.

3.2.1 Lamp Testing

First select the voltage at the Tester power supply (12 Volts
or 24 Volts) that corresponds to the rated voltage of the
lamp, then connect the connection cables at the points
indicated below, remembering that incandescent lamps
have no polarity.
NOTE: To test halogen lamps with three terminals (two
filaments), connect the connection cables for the "Low Li-
ght" test and then for the "High Light" test. If one of the
filaments doesn't light up, the lamp is defective.
If the voltage applied to the lamp does not match
the manufacturer's specification, it may present low light or
immediately burn out.
