ENGLISH 7 / 32 CHAP. 3 - SAFETY CONDITIONS


RISK OF ASPHYXIA

GASOLINE ENGINES Exhaust gases of gasoline vehicles contain carbon monoxide, a colourless and odourless gas which, if inhaled, can cause serious physical problems. Special attention is always required when working within pits, as exhaust gases components are heavier than air and consequently deposit on the bottom of the pit. Attention shall be paid to natural gas vehicles as well. DIESEL ENGINES Diesel engine exhaust gas composition is not always the same. It can change according to: type of engine, intake, conditions of use and fuel composition. Diesel exhaust is made up of gases (CO, CO2, NOX and HC) and particulate (soot, sulphates, etc.); the small particles of carbon making up soot remain suspended in the air and can thus be breathed. Toxic components, albeit in small quantities, are present as well. SAFETY MEASURES:

- Always ensure good ventilation and air aspiration (especially in the pits). - In closed premises, always start the exhaust gas aspiration system.

RISK OF SMASHING

If the vehicles are not correctly secured by means of mechanic devices, the operator might get smashed against a working bench or against a wall. Even the equipment placed on unstable supports might fall and squash the operator’s limbs. SAFETY MEASURES:

- Make sure the vehicle has been secured by pulling the hand brake and locking the wheels. - Make sure the equipment has been positioned on a stable support and, in case of trolley, that its

wheels have been locked before use.



RISK OF INJURY

Engines, both working and in standstill, include moving parts (belts or other parts) which might injure hands and arms. In the vehicles, the cooling fan starts automatically by means of a temperature sensor even when the engine is off; always pay attention when operating close to it and disconnect it if needed. SAFETY MEASURES:

- When the engine is turned on, do not put hands into the moving parts area. - When operating close to electrically started fans, let the engine cool down beforehand and then

remove the fan plug from the engine. - Keep the testing tools connection cables far from the engine moving parts.

RISK OF BURN

When intervening on the engine, protect face, hands and feet with suitable protective devices, avoid contact with hot surfaces, such as sparking plugs, radiators, piping of the cooling system and electro-mechanic sensors. Catalytic mufflers reach extremely high temperatures and can cause burns or fires. Attentions shall thus be paid to avoid touching these objects without suitable precautions. SAFETY MEASURES:

- Wear protective gloves. - Let cool down the engine and other independent accessories, if any. - Do not install testing tools connection cables over or close to hot parts - Do not keep the engine turned on once checks have been completed.

RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION

When carrying out operations on the fuel system (injectors, fuel and gasoline pump, etc.) there is risk of fire or explosion due to the fuels employed and/or vapours formed by them. SAFETY MEASURES:

- Disable start. - Let the engine cool down. - Do not use free flames or sparks sources. - Do not smoke. - Collect the out-flowing fuel. - Start the aspiration units in closed premises.



RISK RELATING TO NOISE LEVEL

During measurements on the vehicle, noise levels can exceed 90dB. Such noise levels can be reached with ultrasonic cleaning or with the vehicle’s engine high rpm. If a person is exposed to such noise sources for a long period of time, this can cause irreversible hearing damage. SAFETY MEASURES:

- The operator shall adopt personal protective equipment (safety ear muffs). - The operator shall also protect from noise the working stations close to the areas where test on

the vehicle.

RISK RELATING TO DANGEROUS VOLTAGE

Civil or industrial electric power distributions, as well as vehicles electric systems, do imply dangerous voltages. When an operator is in contact with testing tools or live parts of the engine, risk of electrocution exists. For instance, this might be caused by cables with damaged insulation (ex. Bites of animals on power cords). This is especially true of the vehicle starting system and testing tools connections. SAFETY MEASURES:

- Connect the testing tools to an electric socket safety relay and correctly grounded. - For the testing tool connection, use exclusively the cables provided with the tool itself, making

sure insulation is not damaged. - Make sure the testing tool is grounded before turning it on. - When carrying out interventions on the electrical system of a vehicle (connection of testing tool,

replacement of starting system parts), supply voltage shall be unplugged (ex. battery). - During checks and setting operations with the engine turned on, attention shall be paid to avoid

touching those vehicle live components (for instance the starting system) without the suitable precautions (for instance insulating gloves).



RISK OF INTOXICATION

The pipes that are used for exhaust gases sampling if subject to high temperatures (exceeding 250 °C or due to fires) release a highly toxic gas which, in case of inhalation, can be harmful for health. SAFETY MEASURES:

- In case of inhalation, immediately contact a doctor. - To remove combustion residues wear neoprene or PVC gloves. - Fire residues can be neutralized with a calcium hydroxide solution. This leads to the formation of

calcium fluoride that can be removed with water.

3.2 IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON TOOL SAFETY When using the tool, the following operations are not allowed as they might cause, under certain circumstances, danger for persons and cause permanent damage to the tool itself.

- Do not remove or make unreadable labels, signs and/or dangers signs placed on the tool and in the area nearby.

- Do not disable the machine safety devices

- Use exclusively original fuses with the required ampere capacity! In case of electric supply anomalies, the machine shall be powered off immediately. Defective fuses shall not be repaired or excluded but replaced with fuses of the same type.

- The machine electrical connections shall be inspected at regular intervals. Defects, such as slackened connections or burnt cables or cables with damaged insulation, shall be immediately removed and replaced.

- Non authorized personnel must not open the equipment. Within the tool there are parts that, if touched, can cause electrocution: power off before opening the tool to carry out repair operations.

CHAP. 5 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION 14 / 32 ENGLISH


CHAP. 5 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION

5.1 THE FAST SYSTEM One of the main problems car mechanics have to face when carrying out their job is that they often need to use, simultaneously, different software programmes or tools with remarkable difficulties, connected to consultation and waste of time. The FAST system, however, is a software constituted by different applications, that enables the simultaneous management of :

• AUTODIAGNOSIS • WIRING DIAGRAMS • OSCILLOSCOPE AND MULTIMETER

5.2 THE AUTODIAGNOSIS SYSTEM

The autodiagnosis system is a system through which the diagnostic tool can dialogue with the ECU supporting injection, ignition, ABS or other functions and enable the operator to carry out a diagnosis on the basis of the indications the ECU itself can supply to the instrument. Thus the performance level that can be reached does not depend on the instrument, but mainly on the ECU evolution level. From the very beginning of autodiagnosis, different types of ECUs have been developed and they evolved over the time by now enabling the operator to carry out more or less evolved operations. It is hence possible to range from an ECU being able to transfer error codes only (through extremely simple languages such as blinking codes) up to ECUs that can memorize all the failures (even desultory failures) and transfer to the tool not only the parameters in real time but also all of the anomalies that have been detected during a given working interval. In order to correctly read and interpret this user’s manual, it is important to know the used vocabulary and its meaning. The autodiagnosis system (as a function of the type of ECU) enables to carry out the following operations:

Reading information on the ECU Reading of memorized errors Reading of engine parameters (construction parameters) Active diagnosis Adjustments Reading of inputs status

5.2.1 Reading information on the ECU This function allows the operator to read information contained inside the vehicle’s ECU, as for example the hardware or software version of the ECU, the ISO code or the vehicle’s serial number. The type of information displayed depends on the type of ECU.

5.2.2 Reading of memorized errors This function enables the operator to read the errors memorized by the ECU. The errors can either be permanent (the defect is always present) or desultory (the defect occurs only sporadically). As far as the permanent errors are concerned, the ECU stores them in its memory and, upon a precise prompt, sends them to the instrument. As to desultory errors instead, since they are difficult to be retrieved, not all of the ECUs can memorize them (e.g. the ECUs that can only send blinking codes). Hence the memorization of this kind of defects will only be performed by most recently constructed ECUs.

ENGLISH15 / 32 CHAP. 5 - GENERAL DESCRIPTION


After the error has been detected, the operator will have to establish if the error is located in the component or in the wiring system (it is advisable to use texts or software programmes having a data bank and wiring diagrams) and then intervene through repairing. At the end of the operation, the operator has to erase the defect from the memory and then to carry out a further diagnosis to make sure the repair operation succeeded.

5.2.3 Reading of engine parameters (construction parameters) By construction parameters we mean all the values (signals) that the ECU receives from the various sensors located in the engine and the values the ECU processes in order to send them to the other system components (actuators). These values are hence connected to engine temperature and air, pressure, spark advance, injection time etc. and they are sent to the instrument in real time. This function is very important in two particular cases:

The sensor is defective but not broken down Desultory failure not recognized by the ECU

In the first case, a defective temperature sensor could measure an engine temperature of 50°C instead of the real 80°C value. In this condition, the ECU cannot recognize the error (as a matter of fact the sensor is not completely broken down) but the engine is not working properly. Through the reading of the "engine temperature" parameter the operator can detect the defect. In the second case, that is when the ECU is not set to memorize desultory failures, when the defect is originated the operator can, during a road test and by keeping in mind the construction parameters, determine which parameter, and consequently which of the sensors, has caused the defect. For instance, if during a road test the engine temperature value keeps steadily at 80°C and when the defect is originated (indeed just one moment before) it decreases to 30° C, this means that the engine temperature sensor was interrupted for a moment or that it sent a wrong output. Note in any case that not all of the ECUs can support this function.

5.2.4 Active diagnosis Through this test the operator can enable (for some seconds) the selected actuator to acoustically check its functioning or to test its electric values to detect the failure. By actuators we mean all the components that are actuated by the ECU (e.g. injectors, relays, solenoid valves, coils etc.).

WARNING !!!: The functioning of the actuators in a given condition can involve risks or damages. Only enable the actuators after taking the necessary precautions.

5.2.5 Adjustments In some systems it is possible to carry out some adjustments (e.g. CO value, spark advance value, keys coding etc.). These operations depend on the kind of system and ECU and they are subdivided into three phases:

• Access to the adjustment function • Parameters change • Memorization of the new adjustments

5.2.6 Reading of inputs status This function enables the operator to check the status of some ECU inputs that are used for further adjustments by the ECU itself (e.g. engine started, A/C system enabled, automatic transmission etc.) The display is obtained through an ON-OFF message, which indicates whether the parameter is enabled or not (for example in the "engine started" input the ON message means that the engine is started, while the OFF message means that the engine is not started).



IMPORTANT !!! All the operations or the parameters allowed by the ECU are directly reported on the corresponding screen page. The parameters and the errors that are not reported may not be displayed; this is due not to a limit of the instrument, but to the fact that the ECU does not allow this. It is to be pointed out that many times some functions cannot be executed not because the instrument functioning is defective but because the ECU cannot execute some of the functions.

5.3 THE WIRING DIAGRAMS Once the defect has been detected through the autodiagnosis system, the FAST software also includes the consultation of the wiring diagram to enable the operator to obtain the necessary information to intervene on the failure. For this function, it is necessary to install the proper software application on a Personal Computer

5.4 OSCILLOSCOPE AND MULTIMETER After detecting the defect, consulting the wiring diagram, and after pointing out the test on the component, to carry on with the diagnosis process, always from the FAST programme, it is possible to activate the oscilloscope and multimeter function, by launching the proper software application.

5.5 THE "SMART CARD" SYSTEM The Fast system is based on a periodic update of the vehicles database (2 months). The update is executed by downloading data from the web site. The update of the vehicles database must then be enabled through the use of a SMATR CARD.

5.5.1 DIFFERENT TYPES OF SMART CARD There are two different types of Smart Card: for Vehicles and Trucks. Smart Card for Vehicles enable the diagnosis of Cars and Commercial vehicles. Smart Card for Trucks enable the diagnosis of Commercial Vehicles, Heavy vehicles, Trailers and Buses. Inside these two groups of Cards, there exist several subtypes that enable different possibilities: in order to get to know them all, it is necessary to contact one’s own Agent.

CLEANING: the power supply unit cleaning can be performed even by unskilled personnel provided they have been previously informed about the main controls to cut the power supply unit from the mains. When the outer surfaces need to be cleaned, avoid using detergents containing alcohol, ammonia or gasoline; only use neutral detergents with slightly moistened soft cloths.

DISMANTLING AND DISPOSAL: The product was designed and assembled with high quality materials and components that may be recycled and reused. If one product displays a symbol showing a bin with wheels barred by an “X”, this means that the product meets the requirements of the Community Directive 2002/96/CE. For the disposal no particular devices are needed since the power supply unit is not made with noxious materials. The disposal shall have to be carried out by complying with the local regulations for the disposal of waste: do not throw the product into the ordinary domestic waste but bring it to the special collection centres present over the territory according to what is provided for by the current regulations in force. An adequate disposal of the products helps preventing environmental pollution as well as possible damage to health.

Before carrying out any maintenance operation, be sure the appliance is disconnected from the mains socket.

In case of appliance malfunction (i.e. the mains switch does not light on when put to the “I” position), perform the necessary check and, if it is the case, replace the mains fuses (see §10.1).

In case the appliance stops functioning (there is no serial communication through the RS-232 or USB ports), exit and then access again from the communication software or from the Suite Sw-800.
