Some of the leads, probes and adapters supplied with or that may be available, are explained in the following sections.
Visit your sales representative or regional website for more information on ignition test leads and adapters that are applicable with your diagnostic tool, Not all test leads and/or accessories may be available in all markets.
Avoid damaging test leads, do not pull on the wire when removing the leads from their jacks. Pull only on the lead terminal end.
Channel 1 Lead
The shielded yellow lead is used with channel 1, and is color matched with the channel 1 jack on the diagnostic tool.
Yellow Channel 1 Lead
The channel 1 lead includes two black, right-angle common ground connectors:
| ● | (1) Non-stackable - always connect to the ground (GND) jack on the diagnostic tool. |
| ● | (1) Stackable - connect to the channel 2 (green lead) stackable ground connector or other applicable lead ground connector. |
The stackable ground lead is internally connected to the standard ground lead, therefore it does not need to be connected to the diagnostic tool ground jack.
Channel 2 Lead
The shielded green lead is used with channel 2, and is color matched with the channel 2 jack on the diagnostic tool. This lead also includes a black, right-angle stackable ground plug.
Green Channel 2 lead
Channel 3 Lead
The non-shielded blue lead is used for either Channel 3 or Digital Meter minus (–). The lead color matches the color of socket 3 on the Scope Module, as well as the color of trace 3 on the test screen.
Channel 4 Lead
The non‑shielded red lead is used for either Channel 4 or Digital Meter plus (+). The lead color matches the color of socket 4 on the Scope Module, as well as the color of trace 4 on the test screen.
Alligator Clips and Probes
Insulated alligator clips and probes (pointed type) can be attached to the end of the test leads. Each alligator clip is color matched with a test lead, and the probes are available in red and black.
Low Amp Current Probe (optional)
The Low Amp Current Probe is used to measure AC or DC current up to 60A. This probe includes two scales (0 to 20A) and (0 to 60A) that can be used to provide accurate and reliable non-intrusive current measurement for components such as, ignition coils, fuel injectors, fuel pumps, relays, and electric motors.
Low Amp Current Probe
Temperature Probe Adapter (optional)
The temperature probe adapter can be used to measure temperatures ranging from –50° F to 1,800° F. Different probes are available for surface, fluid and air temperature measurements.
Pressure Transducers and Adapters (optional)
Different pressure transducers and adapters are available for measuring positive and negative gas and liquid pressures. Depending on the adapter, measurement capabilities range from 1 to 5000 psi and up to 29 inHg. Measurement and application capabilities vary per device.
Waveform Demonstration Tools (optional)
To help you sharpen your lab scope and graphing multimeter skills, optional waveform demonstration tools are available as a training aid. These demonstration tools generate common waveforms, and allow you to vary their display characteristics by turning glitches on/off, helping you to become more familiar with the lab scope controls. Common waveforms include, AC sine wave, variable frequency and pulse, secondary ignition, and more. There are two tools currently available, the standard model and the vehicle simulator model which produces waveforms (e.g. Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP), Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP), Accelerator Pedal Sensor (APP), Wheel Speed Sensor (WSS) Signals, and more) representative of a 2012 BMW 328i Sedan.
