AUTOOL AS503 Engine Oil Tester User Manual

1. Wprowadzenie

The AUTOOL AS503 Engine Oil Tester is a specialized device designed for automotive inspection and maintenance. Its primary function is to measure the transparency of engine oil in both gasoline and diesel engines. This measurement helps assess the presence of impurities and contaminants, providing insight into the oil's quality and performance. By using the AS503, you can effectively prevent potential engine issues and malfunctions, ensuring optimal engine operation and efficiency.

The device utilizes an optical principle for precise testing and features a clear 2.8-inch backlit LCD for easy readability in various lighting conditions.

2. Główne cechy

• Optical Principle Precision Test: Utilizes an optical principle to check engine oil condition, providing accurate results.
• Wyświetlacz cyfrowy: 2.8-inch backlit LCD screen for clear display of results, readable in bright daylight or dim nighttime.
• Alarm dźwiękowy: Alerts the user when oil transmittance falls below 30%, indicating an immediate need for oil change.
• Oil Temperature Measurement: Built-in temperature sensor measures and displays actual oil temperature in °C or °F, reflecting engine operational status.
• Szeroka kompatybilność: Suitable for the majority of gasoline and diesel engine lubricant oils.
• Flexible Hose Probe: An 800mm long probe made of PTFE material, highly resistant to oil and oxidation, for convenient testing.
• User-Friendly Handheld Design: Silicone-lined for excellent grip and lightweight for single-handed operation.

3. Informacje i środki ostrożności dotyczące bezpieczeństwa

Please read and understand the following safety information before using the AUTOOL AS503 Engine Oil Tester.

• Oil Extraction: In cases where the oil filler cap of certain vehicle models does not allow direct insertion of the testing probe, it is necessary to extract a portion of the engine oil from the vehicle before conducting the test.
• Incompatible Substances: This product relies on optical detection probes to analyze the particulate content in oil. As a result, it is not suitable for analyzing automotive engine oils containing components such as molybdenum disulfide (MoS₂), organic molybdenum, graphene, and similar substances.

4. Konfiguracja

The AUTOOL AS503 is powered by 4 x 1.5V batteries. Ensure fresh batteries are installed in the battery compartment located at the back of the device (refer to Figure 4, point G for battery cover location).

5. Instrukcja obsługi

Follow these steps to accurately test your engine oil:

1. Wyczyść sondę testową: Before each use, ensure the probe tip (A in Figure 4) is thoroughly cleaned to prevent contamination and ensure accurate readings.
2. Wyjmij bagnet poziomu oleju: Locate and remove the engine oil dipstick from your vehicle.
3. Wybierz typ silnika: Naciśnij ↶ button (D in Figure 4) to toggle and select the correct engine type (Gasoline or Diesel) on the display (B in Figure 4).
4. Zanurz sondę testową: Carefully insert the probe into the engine oil through the dipstick tube or into an extracted oil sample. Ensure the probe tip is fully immersed in the oil.
5. Rozpocznij test: Naciśnij ► button (E in Figure 4) to initiate the oil quality test.
6. View Wyniki: The interface will display the test results, including oil transmittance percentage i temperatura.

Zrozumienie wyświetlacza

The 2.8-inch LCD provides comprehensive information:

• Poziom naładowania baterii: Wskazuje pozostałą moc baterii.
• Rodzaj oleju: Shows whether 'Gasoline' or 'Diesel' engine oil is selected.
• Analog Bar Graph: Visually represents the oil transmittance percentage.
• Temperature of Engine Oil: Displays the current oil temperature.
