Safely using the DIS 90

Warning

Do the following to avoid electrical shock, fire, or personal injury:

•

Turn the engine off before making any connections.

•

Use the DIS 90 only on properly insulated ignition cables.

•

Keep the Fluke 98 and the DIS 90 leads away from rotating parts and engine parts producing heat.

•

Thoroughly fix all test leads before doing a road test.

•

Read the safety section in the Fluke 98 Users Manual (from page VI).

Connecting the DIS 90 for measurement

Figure 3 shows a connection example for a 4-cylinder DIS engine. General connection procedure:

1. Connect the DIS 90 Adapter to the Fluke 98 Automotive ScopeMeter as shown in Figure 3. Use a ground lead to connect the COM input on the small connection unit to ground e.g. battery ground.

2. Connect the round cable plug of the

Automotive Application Example

The following is an application example of how to measure a DIS system (with dual-spark ignition coils) for a 4-cylinder engine. See Figure 3.

Test Tool Key Sequence

Connect the DIS 90, the Capacitive Secondary Pickup, and

the ground leads as displayed on the Fluke 98 and depicted in the example of Figure 3.

Start the engine and observe the measurement result. See an example display in Figure 5.

Measurement Result

Indication of wrong polarity connections

Figure 6. One red (positive) and one black (negative) secondary pickup swapped (4-cylinder system).

If you connect a pickup to a cable with the wrong polarity, the ignition pulses of the related cylinder are displayed upside down and the RPM display is not correct. In the example of Figure 6, where two out of four pickups are wrongly connected, the RPM display is half the real value.

Service and Maintenance

Storing the DIS 90

If you are storing the DIS 90 for an extended period of time, the battery should be removed and stored separately. To remove the battery, see Figure 7.

Replacing the 9V Battery

Warning

To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the DIS 90 from the ignition cables before replacing the battery.

Note:

This instrument contains an alkaline battery. Do not dispose of this battery with other solid waste. Used batteries should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Contact your authorized FLUKE Service Center for recycling information.

Replace the 9V battery when the ‘BATTERY OK’ LED on the IGNITION ADAPTER unit remains off when the power is switched on.
