1 Introduction

1.1 Exhaust Gas Measuring Device DELTA 1600-L

In our today’s society, the automobile has a fix place. The protection of our lives and our
natural surrounding is our first priority. Therefore reduction of pollutant emission is
demanded. For this, the legal conditions are existent and the best of the necessary and
suitable monitoring and controlling devices are
MRU exhaust gas tester DELTA 1600-L and the
OPAZIMETER MRU-OPTRANS 1600.
All vehicles disposing of a diesel engine or an Otto-cycle-engine, with or without catalytic
converter are to be checked regarding their exhaust gas. In the long run, neither three-way
catalytic converters nor diesel injection systems can warranty a perfect function and thus the
observation of the legal limiting values of exhaust gas emission.
The technology of automobiles keeps on developing. High tech and micro processor
technology is more and more used in the vehicles. The controlling process and the demands
regarding monitoring and controlling devices correspondingly are very complex and costly.
The work shops, garages, the German Boiler Code and the police therefore are in need of
exhaust gas testers that do not only exactly and quickly determine the emission values, but
control also all motor components. Clear diagnosis – high tech and environmental protection
-
the DELTA 1600-L and the OPTRANS 1600.
The DELTA 1600-L determines the emissions of CO (carbon monoxides), CO2 (carbon
dioxides), HC (hydrocarbons) with means of infrared measurement and O2 (oxygen) and NO
(nitrogen oxides) with means of electrochemical sensors. The 5-gas analysis is processed by
the integrated micro processor and described in the display. Simultaneously, the Excess Air
value is calculated. Also the oil temperature of the engine and the engine revolutions are
determined at the same time.
The logical operation menu leads the user step by step through the program. At the end of a
measurement, the measured values, the date and the time can be documented b a
integrated printer.

1.2 Scope Range of Use for DELTA 1600L and OPTRANS 1600
The scope range of use for the MRU emission and soot testers are test units, work shops,
garages, automobiles as well as text benches of the automobile industry (research and
laboratory).
• Mobile use in test drives, control drives as well as function control text of the catalytic
converters
• Use at the police, in schools, formations, guilds
• Use as a diagnosis tester in work shops,
as precaution respectively text examinations before an official examination respectively
exhaust gas emission examination (ASU)
• Use in official exhaust gas emission examinations (ASU)
• Use as a test bench device in the development of engines, engine production, continuous

MRU GmbH operating instructions DELTA 1600-L Security advices 2-8

2 Security Advices
The following security advices have to be strictly observed.

2.1 General Security Instructions

Before commissioning the exhaust gas tester DELTA 1600-L and OPTRANS 1600, please
read carefully the security advices and make sure, that you have understood all correctly.
Only this way, you can avoid any damage to the exhaust gas tester DELTA 1600-L and
OPTRANS 1600, the vehicle measuring instrument and the vehicle itself.
The motor vehicle and particularly the engine compartment itself are a potential source of
danger for the user of test devices. Therefore, any test, adjustment or repair work is only to
be done by trained staff or under direction. This is also valid for the connection and operation
of test devices. Before connecting, operating and starting the test device, it is absolutely
necessary to read carefully its instructions, in order to avoid any uncertainty which can mean
security risk. Not observing the security advices can mean loss of your right to claim under
guarantee.
All operation and works, as well as the connection of testing devices in the engine
compartment are only to be done, then the engine and the ignition are off.
Never use pins or paper clips or other metal parts as electric conductors for the metal tube of
the sensor, as the risk of accidents increases and electronic parts can be destroyed.
To be observed :
- When connecting power supplied tester, the testing device by all means has to be
connected with the protective conductor (power supply) and turned on before being
connected to the vehicle.
- Never turn on vehicle engine or ignition, before the testing device is connected to the
ground conductor respectively B- of the engine.
Exhaust Gas Components :
- Exhaust gas of vehicles contains toxic components (e. g. CO, which does not smell) !
In closed rooms, please turn on and connect the suction installation in order to avoid
intoxication! Some components are heavier than air. Therefore, please be attentive with
works in mines. Always assure sufficient venting respectively suction.
Fuel and Fuel Fumes :
- Fuel and fuel fumes are inflammable and can lead – under certain conditions – to
explosions. Therefore, when working with fuels, the ignition has to be turned off and
smoking should be stopped. In closed rooms, sufficient venting or suction should be
guaranteed. Also see to it, which no fire or spark source is near.
Noise :
- When effecting a measurement, especially with high engine revolutions, noise of more
than 70 dB(A) can develop. In case of necessity, the operator should use personal
sound-absorbing protection. The operator should also – if necessary – protect the
working places near the test space against noise.
Etching Components :
- Caution : Moisture, being pumped out of the condensate trap could be slightly acidic.
- In case of contact IMMEDIATELY : clean affected parts of the body !
- Avoid contact of eyes with liquid.
- Please clean carefully all parts that were in contact with the condensate
- Viton Tubes :
This exhaust measuring device contains flexible tubes of fluoride Elastomers (Viton).
They are needed for the measuring of hydrocarbons. Other flexibles would absorb and
later give up hydrocarbons and therefore change the measured result. Under normal
MRU GmbH operating instructions DELTA 1600-L Security advices 2-9

conditions, Viton is not dangerous. Then overheated (more than 250 ° C) or burned, Viton
discharges hydrogen fluoride, an etching gas, which builds together with humidity (water)
hydrofluoric acid. On unprotected skin, this acid causes etchings, the gas attacks the
lungs. Immediately clean etched parts of the skin with water, after that, please
consult a medical doctor.
To assure a secure removal of combustion products, we recommend the following:
- Wear gloves made of neopren or PVC
- Neutralise combustion products with calcium hydrate solution. Un-toxic calcium fluoride
develops, which can easily be washed away.
- O2 and NO Primary Elements :
The O2 and NO primary elements contain alkaline solution. Caution : etching !
The O2 and NO primary elements are hazardous waste and have to be removed
correspondingly.
Turning Parts :
- An energised engine is dangerous due to turning parts. Possibly also when using an
electrically powered fan, although he engine and the ignition have been turned off.
Watch – especially with energised engine – the positioning of the measuring cables.
Hot Parts :
- In the engine compartment – especially the exhaust gas parts – some components can
reach temperatures of some hundred degrees Centigrade. Persons can be in danger of
being hurt.
- After measurement, please vent the device with fresh air and watch that the probe is
getting cold. As long as it is hot, the tube of the probe could burn persons or cause
fire damages on inflammable underground.
Vehicle :
- Please see to it, that during the test the vehicle cannot roll, e. g. by pulling the hand
brake, setting the automatic gearbox into parking position or by locking the wheels with
stop blocks.
Operation Software and Nominal Data :
- In spite of careful programming, assembly and test, we cannot guarantee the correctness
of the operation software.
We refuse any liability regarding consequential damages !
Power Supply :
- The testing device is to be connected only by the enclosed original MRU power supply
cable or a 12V vehicle adapter. Please observe the polarity :
red = + terminal, black = - terminal
Ignition Installation :
- Electronic ignition systems can reach a power output, which can provoke dangerous
voltages in the whole ignition installation, i. e. not only in single boiler units as ignition coil
or ignition distributor, but also in the cable space, on plug-in connections, connections for
testing devices etc. They occur not only as secondary, but also as primary current.
If too high voltage – especially in the ignition installation (secondary and primary current)
– or damaged or porous isolations regarding the ignition cable can be noticed, please
take corrective action before connecting a testing device..
Therefore, please do always turn off the ignition before operating at the ignition
installation.
Operating at the ignition installation is for example
- connecting a testing device
- exchanging ignition parts etc.
- connecting extracted boiler units, in order to test them in test benches.
MRU GmbH operating instructions DELTA 1600-L Security advices 2-10

When the ignition is energised, live wires in the whole ignition installation should not be
touched !.
When effecting testing or adjustment works, this is also valid for all vehicle connections of
testing devices and connections of the boiler units in testing benches.
The connection lines have to be positioned in a matter that the individual lines do not
touch the hot parts of the engine, do not get near the exhaust machine or touch the
exhaust pipe.
Furthermore, it should be observed that the connection lines are not positioned near
rotating parts.
Testing plug-in connections have to be plugged in correctly. If no vehicle-specific plug-in
connections or adapter lines are available and the test connection is effected by
commercially approved plug-in connections, please observe under all circumstances that
they are plugged in correctly, for they cannot be shook off by vibrations.

6.5 Calibration and Warm-Up Stage

As long as the infrared measurement unit is in the warm-up stage, in the main menu and in the
window New Vehicle first the indication Cal. and later the indication Cal. 240 appears (i. e. the
remaining warm-up time is about 240 seconds). This time indication is updated app. Every 8
seconds.

During the calibration and warm-up stage, no adjustment and no exhaust gas measurement can be
effected. However, you can use the calibration time for preparation of the measurement by inserting
the vehicle data. If during the calibration and warm-up stage you would like to change from the
vehicle input to the exhaust gas measurement, the following is displayed :

Infrared Measurement Unit Calibration

not ready yet !
(warm-up stage) not finished yet !

The time needed for the calibration and warm-up stage can differ. Among other, it depends on the
ambient and inner temperature of the device. I. e. generally spoken it is shorter, if the device has not
been switched off for a long time, as the inner temperature still is relatively high.

Reaching the end of the calibration and warm-up stage, the following messages are displayed :

O2 Sensor Adjustment Measuring Unit Calibration finished

Zero Point Adjustment All sensors ready
Please wait... Please wait ... Device ready for

• Print : present values are printed

MRU GmbH operating instructions DELTA 1600-L Operation 6-23
What happens after ending the measurement with Stop / Enter ?

• you will be back to the main menu, except for an automatic measurement

• if you did effect an automatic measurement, the measured values will be printed and you will be
sent directly to the input of the next vehicle

• if you did effect a measurement with a diesel engine vehicle and the setting Diesel-Opaz is
activated (=AN), you will be sent directly to the opacity measurement

How does an Automatic Measurement work ?

If the setting Automatic Measurement is activated (=ON) see chapter 6.8 Device Configurations), the
device DELTA 1600-L watches the measured values during measurement and ends the
measurement automatically, as soon as the measured values are stable (as you would, too). Also,
when ending the measurement process automatically, the measured values are saved and printed.

6.6.1 Double-Speed-Test-Method (DSTM, resp. 2-point-measurement)

The Delta 1600L offers the possibility to make a combined, automatic double-measurement at 2
different rpm’s. The analyzer determines an average for each rpm-value over a period of 30
seconds.

The operator sets the rpm for both measuring segments, as well as tolerance (acceptable ± -
deviation from the nominal rpm-value). Further more he decides whether the calculated averaged
values are to be saved and/or printed.

If while entering the vehicle data (see chapter 6.6) the load-method „Dbl. Sp. Test Method“ is
chosen, then the following window (on the right side) will appear after pressing F4 "OK":

key F4 =>

Operation:

• Scroll Keys Up / Down: Move Cursor to Revolut. 1/2, tolerance, Store, Print

• Scroll Keys Left / Right: changing of Revolut. 1/2, tolerance, Store, Print

• OK / Enter: end input, save and start measurement

After entering the options F4 „OK“ will lead you to the

measuring window where you can see the status of the
2-point-measurement (DSTM) below the measurement
values:
MRU GmbH operating instructions DELTA 1600-L Operation 6-24

In the last line you can see the remaining time until the 30-second-average values are calculated, as
well as the preset rpm-range (nominal-value ± tolerance). The seconds-countdown will begin under
the following conditions:

• the measurement has been active for at least 15 seconds

• the O2-value is smaller than 20% (otherwise it couldn’t be exhaust gas))
• the measured rpm-value is within the preset tolerance

Should the measured rpm-value be outside of the preset tolerance, you will hear a beep every
second.

As soon as the 30-second-average values of the lower

rpm-range are calculated, the analyzer prints and/or
saves – depending on the settings – the average
values. Immediately thereafter the rpm tolerance-range
will be changed to the preset, higher values and the
measurement will continue:

As soon as the 30-second-average values of the upper rpm-range are calculated, the analyzer prints
and/or saves – depending on the settings – the average values and stops the measurement.

Note:

By selecting the load method „Dbl. Sp. Test Method“ the settings „Automatic measurement“ and
„Continuous measurement“ (see chapter 6.9) will be switched off.

6.7 Opacity Measurement

Please select Opacity Measurement in the Main Menu with Scroll Keys and confirm with
Enter . Afterwards, the following window appears :

Before reaching the opacity measurement itself, you have now the possibility to enter the following
data regarding the vehicle :

• State : selection from a list of international vehicle country abbreviations (pre-setting GB)

• R.No : the license plate number can be inserted

• Cat. : catalytic converter, selection from none / open-loop / comp. controlled (pre-setting : none)

• Eng. : engine, selection from fuel, diesel, fuel 2-stroke (pre-setting : fuel)

• Load : selection from idle, under load, double-speed-test-method (see chapter 6.6.1)
MRU GmbH operating instructions DELTA 1600-L Operation 6-25
In the last two lines you can see the name of the presently logged-in user as well as the number of
free data blocks, i. e. the number of measurements that still can be archived in the data storage.

Operation :

• Scroll Keys Up / Down : move cursors to State, R.No, Cat., Eng. or Load

• Scroll Keys Left / Right : modification of State, Cat., Eng. or Load

• edit : insertion of the license plate number (see chapter 6.13)

• Last : take over of data of the last entered vehicle

• abort : back to the main menu

• OK / Enter : end input, save and start measurement

During the calibration and warm-up stage, you can see in the right upper corner e. g. Cal. 240.
However, you can start the opacity measurement now.

When starting the opacity measurement, the following is displayed :

illustration 6.7/1 illustration 6.7/2 illustration 6.7/3

The time needed for the warm-up stage (see illustration 6.6/2) depends on the ambient and inner
temperature of the OPTRANS 1600. I. e. generally spoken it is shorter, when the device has not
been switched off for a long time, as the inner temperature still is relatively high.

After the warm-up stage the Zero Point Adjustment follows, you will see the following message :

- Zero Point Adjustment -

Probe to fresh air

The Opacity Measurement demands three gas ejections up to the dam-in revolutions. The DELTA
1600-L independently calculates the three maximum values of clouding. Between the gas ejections
should be a break of a least 10 seconds.

As soon as the device calculates the clouding value of a gas ejection, the pace indicator in the right
upper corner of the display increases (pace 1, 2 or 3) and the measured values are set to zero.
MRU GmbH operating instructions DELTA 1600-L Operation 6-26

Only as soon as the measured values are updated again (a diesel engine does produce a
percentage of clouding even with low idle), you can give the next gas ejection, as the 10 seconds are
over now.

After the third gas ejection, the opacity measuring process is quit automatically and the calculated
values are saved. If the setting Automatic Measurement is activated (=AN) (see chapter 6.8 Device
Configurations), the measured values will also be printed.

Operation :

• abort : quit measurement, values will not be saved, back to the Main Menu

• remote : take over of the measured values of a OPTRANS 1600 hand-control unit

• Stop / Enter: end measurement, save values up to now, back to the Main Menu

• Print : start print (see chapter 6.8.3)

In the Measuring Data Storage you will find saved measuring data blocks, which are consisting of
vehicle data and measuring data. The user who has effected the measurement, the date and the
time of the measurement are also saved.

The data blocks can be printed and / or be transferred to a PC. The Administrator can also delete
data blocks.

The device is equipped with a limited data storage with a standard configuration of 100 vehicle /
measuring data blocks (optional 300). When entering a new vehicle, the number of free storage
locations is always indicated.

If now more remaining free data blocks are left (free data blocks : 0), it is nevertheless possible to
effect and save further measurements, however, the new data block will overwrite the oldest one.

If all space is about to be occupied, we recommend the following procedure :

• Save all data blocks (either all or the oldest ones up to a certain date) by printing or transferring
them to a PC.

• Delete the data blocks after saving them as above mentioned, as they are no longer needed in
the Measuring Data Storage of your DELTA 1600-L..

6.8.1 Transfer of stored measurements to PC

Press key F1 =>PC in the window Stored measurements. Now the device asks you, if you would like
to transfer all data blocks or only the presently visible one :

After selecting F1 or F2, the data is outputted via the serial interface. In normal writing, the data is
outputted the same way as it would appear by printing it.

Three reasonable receivers are :

• A standard terminal program (terminal adjustment ANSI) which runs on a PC or notebook and
which can save the received data. Afterwards, the data could be outputted e. g. on the PC printer
or be filtered with a macro of a chart calculation.

• A serial printer.

• A purpose-made PC program for this data format, which processes the data at will.
