GxT Ferret 54 ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC CENTER - Manual (Page 7)

INTRODUCTION
The Ferret 54 Engine Diagnostic Center is
a professional grade tool for diagnosing
automotive ignition, fuel injection, electrical,
and emissions systems. Programmed sensor
tests, including O2 and TPS, augment a
meter function capable of reading a variety
of AC, DC, and frequency sensor outputs.
Four or two stroke engines powered with
gasoline, propane, gasohol, or compressed
natural gas, with DIS or distributor ignitions
can be tested. Diesel tests are possible with
an adapter.
Diagnostic messages, based on test results,
suggest probable engine defects. A built-in
printer records current readings or data
saved from tests.
A large, backlit LCD display with four lines
of forty characters shows test readings, bar
graphs, messages, and help screens.
A 12 volt power cable connects to the
vehicle battery, so no AC power is necessary.
Test leads are non-intrusive and include a
cylinder #1 inductive pickup, a coil negative
clip for distributors, a coil primary inductive
pickup for DIS, an auxiliary meter lead for
general troubleshooting and sensor testing,
an inductive amp probe, and a temperature
probe.
A multi-clip capacitive KV harness allows
quick connection to DIS engines. Cylinder
order and polarity are automatically detected
for fast, foolproof hookups.
Engine timing can be measured with the
digital-advance stroboscopic timing light or
with a magnetic timing detector.
The attractive, functional stand has large
wheels for easy, stable transport. An
adjustable boom and large hooks allow easy
management of leads and hoses. Storage is
provided by a drawer and shelves.
The optional Gas Analyzer, designed to
BAR 90 and O.I.M.L. (International) accuracy
standards for measurement of vehicle
emission systems, is ideal for Pre-
Certification Emission Testing, Shop
Diagnostic Testing and Post-Repair Emission
Testing. Included with the Gas Analyzer are
a sampling hose assembly, power/data cable,
and a road test kit.
Other options include:
Vacuum/Pressure Transducers
Magnetic TDC Detector
Diesel Injection Detector
10 Cylinder DIS Ignition Adapter
1-2
