IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT PERSONAL SAFETY

GENERAL SAFETY AND BEHAVIOUR PRESCRIPTIONS FOR ACTIVITY IN WORKSHOPS OR SIMILAR
PLACES.

DANGER OF SUFFOCATION

GASOLINE ENGINES
Exhaust gases of gasoline vehicles contain carbon oxide, a colourless and odourless gas that, in case of
inhalation, can cause serious physical problems.
When working inside pits, it is necessary to be very cautious since some components of exhaust gases are heavier
than the air and deposit on the pit bottom.
Be careful also in case of gas vehicles.
DIESEL ENGINES
The exhaust gas from a diesel engine has a composition that varies according to: type of engine, of induction, use
conditions and fuel composition.
The diesel exhaust includes gas (CO, CO2, NO and HC) and particulate (soot, sulphates and PAHs).
The small carbon particles forming soot remain suspended in the air and can be breathed.
Moreover, small amounts of toxic components are present.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Always ensure good ventilation and aspiration (especially in inspection pits).
- Always operate the exhaust fan system in closed rooms.

DANGER OF CRUSHING

You may be crushed against the work bench if the vehicle has not been correctly locked in place by mechanical
systems.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Make sure that the vehicle is unable to move by engaging the hand brake and locking the wheels.

ENGLISH

INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION

13EU7102UK
EUROSMOKE MODULE

DANGER OF INJURY

Whether engines are at a standstill or operating, there are mobile parts (belts, etc.) that can injure the hands and
arms.
Amongst the various engine components, mechanics should pay particular attention to electrically operated fans
since these may unexpectedly start up even when the engine itself is off.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Never place the hands near moving parts when the engine is on.
- When working near electrically started fans, let the engine cool first and then unplug the fan.
- Keep the connection wires of the test instruments as far as possible from moving parts of the engine.

DANGER OF BURNS

Some of the components in engines (exhaust gas manifold, etc.) can become very hot, as can certain sensors.
Remember to never touch these parts.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Wear protective gloves.
- Never allow the connection wires of test instruments to rest on or near hot parts.
- Never keep the engine running after the tests.

DANGER OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION

When work is being carried out on the fuel system (gasoline pump, injectors and carburettor, etc.) there may be a
risk of fire or explosion owing to the fuels used and/or the vapours that these products form.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Disconnect the ignition system.
- Allow the engine to cool.
- Do not use open flames or anything liable to produce sparks.
- Do not smoke.
- Collect any spilt fuel.
- Operate exhaust fans in closed rooms.

INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION

ENGLISH

13EU7102UK
EUROSMOKE MODULE

SOUND LEVEL

When working near a vehicle, mainly at high engine speed, noise levels can reach 90dB.
The long exposure to such noise sources can cause hearing damages.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- The user has to protect, if necessary, working locations near test areas.
- If necessary, the operator has to wear personal protection means.

DANGEROUS VOLTAGE

Voltage is always a danger in civil or industrial electricity mains or the electric systems of vehicles.
When a person touches test instruments or parts of engines to which electricity has been applied, there is always a
risk of electric shock due, for example, to damaged connections.
This is true of both the primary and secondary of the ignition system and for test instrument connections.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Only use the supplied cables to connect the test instrument. Make sure that the insulation is not damaged.
- Make sure that you do not touch live parts of the vehicle when testing and regulating with the engine running.
- Only make test connections with suitable systems (test cables, specific adapter cables).

ENGLISH

INTRODUCTORY INFORMATION

13EU7102UK
EUROSMOKE MODULE

DANGER OF INTOXICATION

If subjected to high temperatures (over 250 C or owing to fire outbreaks), the tubes used to sample exhaust gas
release highly toxic gas which, if inhaled, may be harmful to the health.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- Immediately contact a physician if such gas is inhaled.
- Use neoprene or PVC gloves to eliminate combustion residuals.
- Fire residuals can be neutralised with a calcium hydroxide solution. This forms calcium fluoride which can be
removed with water.

DANGER OF CORROSION

Acids and leaches can harm the skin if this is not protected.
The condensate that remains in the gas sampling pipe and condensate separator unit contains acids.
Take great care when the oxygen sensor (O2) and the nitric oxide sensor (NO) are replaced since they contain
highly corrosive substances.
Corrosive liquid may be spilt if a liquid crystal indicator is broken. This liquid should never be touched, inhaled or
swallowed.
SAFETY MEASURES:
- In case of contact with the skin, immediately wash the affected part with water and contact a physician.
- Immediately contact a physician if such products are inhaled or swallowed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT

1.1 INTRODUCTION
The "EUROSMOKE MODULE" is an intelligent module consisting of a physical smoke gauging part and an
electronic part that processes the signal and transmits it through the RS232 serial output.
Built in order to strictly comply with the current provisions in force, this instrument gauges opacity by means of the
partial and continuous flow system.
The automatic carrying out of the tests is permitted to the responsible technician , through the use of the
SOFTWARE 7102 which allows the fast and exact development of the indicated operations.
SOFTWARE with detailed indications guides the operator through the tests and use of the instrument.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INSTRUMENT

ENGLISH

13EU7102UK
EUROSMOKE MODULE

1.2 OPERATIVE PRINCIPLE

EUROSMOKE MODULE is an exhaust gas analyser for Diesel engines.
Thanks to tried and tested technologies, the EUROSMOKE MODULE is essential when conducting the smoke test.
The instrument consists of the following main parts:
- the light detector and generator unit;
- the pneumatic circuit to sample the exhaust gas;
- the pneumatic circuit to clean the measuring chamber;
- the electronic monitoring circuit.

1.2.1 LIGHT DETECTOR AND GENERATOR CIRCUIT

When the rays of light from a led are reduced by a disturbing element (exhaust gas), their intensity also
diminishes and this variation is detected by a special highly sensitive and accurate silicon sensor.
In this case, the led with relative optic unit and sensor are installed at the ends of the chamber through which
exhaust gas is allowed to pass. This ensures that the gauged measurement will be absolutely accurate.

1.2.2 PNEUMATIC EXHAUST GAS CIRCUIT

The exhaust gas is picked up by a special sampling probe and is conveyed, only when necessary, inside the
measuring chamber. This operation is carried out by a solenoid valve installed in series with the measuring
chamber. This is kept at a permanently constant temperature in order to prevent the formation of condensate
which could alter the reading. The exhaust gas is outlet through two openings at the ends of the chamber
thanks to its natural pressure.

1.2.3 PNEUMATIC CLEANING CIRCUIT

The exhaust gas from Diesel engines sometimes possesses a very evident feature: it may dirty the measuring
parts. To prevent this from happening, there are two protective slides which can be easily removed for cleaning.
These guard the led and silicon sensor. Compressed air blown on to the two slides means that cleaning
operations can be less frequent. To ensure that the measuring chamber is correctly cleaned, a solenoid valve
installed in series with the exhaust gas circuit conveys fresh air inside whenever necessary.

1.2.4 ELECTRONIC CIRCUIT

The measuring accuracy and reliability of EUROSMOKE MODULE is also ensured thanks to an electronic
circuit based on a microprocessor which handles all elements and gauges all the necessary data.
The gauged values are transmitted outside via an RS232 serial output.

4.2 DISPLAYS
The basic data displayed by the SMOKE MODULE during the smoke test are two: opacity and engine rpm.
Opacity is expressed in two different measuring scales: 1/m and %.
1/m: it represents the opacity value stated in optical density (K).
%: represents the opacity value stated in luminous absorption percentage (N).
RPM (revolution per minute): during the exhaust gas analysis test, it is also necessary to check
that the engine rpm rate is correct. The rpm value is detected by connecting the relative clamp to an
injection tube.

Other important data are also displayed:

ENGINE TEMP: Engine temperature measured as engine oil temperature.
SMOKE TEMP: Temperature of the smoke and the measuring chamber.
PRESSURE: Pressure inside the measuring chamber. This parameter , according to some
regulations, can be used also to detect the accelerations.

The two entities 1/m (red) and RPMx1000 (yellow) are also graphically displayed in the lattice during operation.

5.1.1.3 VISUAL INSPECTION

After having entered the nominal data, MULTEX will ask the operator to visually check the exhaust system in
order to identify any leaks which could alter the test result. This inspection is very important since any leaks
from the exhaust circuit could give very much lower opacity readings. Unfortunately, some operators never
make this inspection, thus conducting an inaccurate test.

Having passed the test confirmed by F5, MULTEX will automatically wait for the minimum temperature to be
reached.
If this fails to occur, the test may proceed but the final print-out will indicate that the temperature value was
wrong.

Once the minimum required temperature has been reached, the instrument will either automatically switch to
the next phase or will do so when F5 is pressed, during which time the instrument will proceed with the
resetting phase.

5.1.1.4 UNRESTRICTED ACCELERATION TEST

After reset, the instrument will ask the operator to make 6 accelerations in order to clean and stabilise engine
operation.

The true test may now start. This consists of 4 accelerations plus a relative calculation of the average of the
peak values gauged during each (see delta): if the average of the gauged values and the difference between
one acceleration and the next are below the values set during the initial phase, the test can be considered as
having been passed. Failing this, the test can be repeated until a positive result has been obtained.
Begin with the first acceleration: the request is displayed by the following figure:

After acceleration, the instrument will automatically gauge the maximum peak opacity value of the tested
vehicle. By means of a beeping signal and video message, it will now ask the operator to release the
accelerator pedal. The values shown on the graph correspond to the opacity and rpm rate measured during
acceleration.
This procedure must be repeated four times.

At the end of the four accelerations, the instrument will display the obtained result.
If the result is positive, the operator can CONTINUE (F5) and issue the relative receipt.
If, on the other hand, the result is negative, the operator may proceed with other accelerations REPEAT (F6)

After the Test, MULTEX will tell the operator whether to assign the inspection receipt or not.
A set of notes can also be entered and issued on print-out, eg.: "Test not passed, test again within one
week." (this will justify the use of a vehicle with off-limit values for a limited time).
