Bosch diagnostic tools give workshops a boost
Among the workshop equipment range available from Bosch is a solution for vehicle ECU diagnosis, in the form of the KTS 900 Truck and ESI[tronic] 2.0 products.
The complete mobile system consisting of the KTS Truck module and the DCU 220 diagnostic control unit is powered by the separately available ESI[tronic] 2.0 Online diagnostic software.
“The information types Truck and/or OHW (off-highway) enable workshops to perform effective diagnoses on trucks, LCVs, buses, agricultural vehicles and construction machinery,” said the company.
“Besides ECU diagnoses, the workshop software includes technical information such as circuit diagrams, service and repair instructions as well as the system information of common CV manufacturers.”
Further diagnostic equipment in the range includes the FSA 500 vehicle system analysis solution.
“The handy and battery-operated measurement module can be connected to the computer via Bluetooth,” said Bosch.
It includes approximately 30 preset component test routines, including important electric and electronic components of 12V, 24V and 48V on-board electrical systems.
Meanwhile, Bosch’s DCI 700 injector test benches are said to provide a future-proof solution for testing car and truck diesel injectors by Bosch and other manufacturers.
“This includes VCC/NCC technologies often used in vans and LCVs as well as pressure-controlled truck technologies,” said Bosch.
“The test routine lasts approximately 15 minutes. For this purpose, the devices are equipped with quick measurement systems featuring a high measurement accuracy and latest electronics.”
Also available are the BEA 950 emission testers, said to enable workshops to perform quick and accurate exhaust-gas emission analyses.
The measurement modules and control unit testers are compactly stored on a trolley equipped with a Windows computer, a 24” display, a keyboard and an A4 laser printer.
“The wireless connection between computer and exhaust-gas opacimeter, rpm and temperature sensors as well as the ECU testers and truck-specific accessories make the BEA 950 particularly user-friendly,” said Bosch.
The company’s BAT 645 and 690 battery chargers are said to allow straightforward servicing of automotive batteries, meanwhile, ensuring reliable vehicle operation – and are also suitable for use on commercial vehicles.
“These particularly compact devices feature back-up and buffer modes, but they can also be used for fully automatic charging. To keep them up to date, they are equipped with a USB interface for updates.”
Bosch also supplies air conditioning servicing equipment.
“The ACS 810 air-conditioning service unit was developed to meet the specific requirements of buses, trucks and R134a-based A/C systems,” said the firm.
“It comes with a user-friendly navigation menu and a custom-made range of accessories. For A/C service on trucks and cars, Bosch also offers ACS 863 with integrated refrigerant identification and ACS 753 units.”
