Use Of Auxiliary Coil; Ignition Coils; Using The Kilovolt Meter; Using The Logical Tip - Gauss BT010 Manual Del Usuario

• To end the test, press the "POWER SUPPLY/RESET"
button
NOTE: If a short circuit occurs between the
the BLACK cable of the module testing harness (RM02),
the power supply is immediately deactivated. Press the
"POWER SUPPLY/RESET" button and then the "MODU-
LE/COIL" button to reactivate the ignition module testing
module.
NOTE 2: In some cases, it may be necessary to reverse
the connection of cables corresponding to the distributor
signal. Where only the + Signal tip is indicated, the other
tip (- Signal) is connected to the ground.

3.4.1 Use of Auxiliary Coil

In the coil testing module, connect the red cab-
le from the auxiliary coil (BA01) to the "R/EXT" plug and
the black cable from the auxiliary coil (BA01) to the "NEG"
plug. Activate the Ignition Coil/Module testing module and
bring the metal tip of the coil closer to the location indica-
ted in the instructions to activate the ignition modules that
require the use of this accessory.

3.4.2 Ignition Coils

The Ignition Coils can be divided into two groups:
ignition coils with integrated module and ignition coils wi-
thout integrated module. Both may have one, two, four or
six high-voltage outputs.
To test them, first find the technical information for
the model to be tested on the website www.gauss.com.br/
bt010:
• Press the "POWER SUPPLY/RESET" button to activate
the power supply testing module. The voltage should be
set to 12 Volts.
• Connect the testing harness (RM02) as indicated in the
instructions for each coil, abiding by the colors correspon-
ding to each function
• At the coil's high-voltage output, connect one of the Tes-
ter's two high-voltage cables. If the coil has two or more
outputs, a pair of high-voltage outputs should be tested
each time. The instructions indicate which high-voltage ou-
tputs form pairs. The cables carry the high voltage to the
SPARK GAP, where the leap of sparks can be observed

during the coil testing
• In coils with built-in ignition module, set the trip signal to
the number 2 (Hall)
RED cable and • Press the "MODULE/COIL" button and note that a high-
-voltage spark appears in the spark gap. If the coil has two
outputs under test, there will be two high-voltage arcs in
the spark gap
• To test the coil at different speeds, press the "SPEED"
button up to increase tripping speed and down to reduce
speed
• To end the test, press the "POWER SUPPLY/RESET"
button
ATTENTION: AFTER CONNECTING ALL THE CA-
BLES, PLACE THE IGNITION COIL ON A NON-
-METALLIC BASE TO PREVENT ACCIDENTS.
WEAR GLOVES THAT WITHSTAND HIGH VOLTA-
GE WHEN PERFORMING TESTS. IF YOU DON'T,
YOU MIGHT RECEIVE AN ELECTRIC SHOCK.
DO NOT REMOVE THE HIGH-VOLTAGE CA-
BLES FROM IGNITION COIL DURING THE TEST
FOR ANY REASON, BECAUSE HIGH-VOLTAGE
SPARKS MAY JUMP TO THE COIL SUPPLY CA-
BLES AND EVEN TO THE EQUIPMENT'S INTER-
NAL ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS, CAUSING DAMAGE
TO THE EQUIPMENT OR TO THE COIL. FOR THIS
REASON, JUST OBSERVE THE SPARK LEAP IN
THE TESTER'S SPARK GAP.

3.4.3 Using the Kilovolt Meter

to the test described above. To use it, follow the procedure
below:
• Install the HIGH-VOLTAGE PROBE at the 3-terminal DIN
type connector at the back of the equipment.
• Activate the Ignition Coil/Module Testing Module. The
digital screen will show the ignition coil's output voltage
value in Kilovolts
• To perform the test, bring the High-Voltage Probe closer
to the point indicated in the image on the website www.
gauss.com.br/bt010. It is crucial for the metal tip of the pro-
be to touch the metal part of the coil's high-voltage output,
otherwise the voltage reading will be incorrect. If neces-
sary, use a metal extender to achieve contact
• The technical information for ignition coils provide the hi-
gh-voltage values for each model. In general, consider that
an ignition coil for contact breaker points generates about
15.0 KV; an electronic ignition coil generates more than
20.0 KV and a DIS system coil (commonly called "Pen")
generates about 14.0 KV
