Safety Precautions
2.1.3Safety Precautions for High Voltage/Line Voltage
Very high voltages occur in electrical systems. Due to voltage flashover on damaged components,
such as marten damage or touching live components, the risk of electric shock is likely. High
voltage via the vehicle and line voltage via the building's mains supply can cause severe injury or
even death if adequate care is not taken. Therefore regard the following:
•Only use power supply cables with grounding contact.
•Only use a checked or the attached power cord.
•Always use the original cable set.
•Regularly check cables and adapters for damage.
•Always connect the ground cable from device to vehicle first.
•Perform any assembly work such as the connection of the device to the vehicle or the
replacement of components only when ignition is switched off.
•Do not touch live components when ignition is switched on.
2.1.4Safety Precautions – Risk of Injury
When working on the vehicle, there is a risk of injury through rotating parts or rolling of the
vehicle. Therefore regard the following:
•Prevent the vehicle from rolling.
•Additionally place gear selector lever of AT vehicles to park position.
•Deactivate the start/stop system to avoid an inadvertent engine startup.
•Connect the device to the vehicle only when engine is shut down.
•Do not reach into rotating components when engine is running.
•Do not run cables near rotating parts.
•Check the high-voltage parts for damage.
2.1.5Safety Precautions – Chemical Burns
If the TFT display is damaged, there is a danger of chemical burns due to the escape of liquid
crystal. Therefore regard the following:
•Immediately rinse affected parts of the body or clothing with water (consult a doctor).
•Seek medical attention immediately after inhaling or swallowing.
2.1.6Safety Precautions Regarding the Risk of Pinching/Crushing

Safety Precautions
2.1.7Safety Precautions for Hybrid/Electric Vehicles
Very high tensions occur on hybrid and electric vehicles. Due to voltage flashover on damaged
components, such as marten damage or touching live components, the risk of electric shock is
likely. High voltage at or in the vehicle can lead to death in case of inattention. Therefore regard
the following:
•Only the following qualified employees are allowed to de-energize the high-voltage system:
– High-voltage technician
– Skilled electrician for predetermined operations – Hybrid or rather electric vehicles
– Skilled electrician
•Place warning signs and warning tapes.
•Check the high-voltage system and the high-voltage lines for damage (visual inspection!).
•De-energizing the high-voltage system:
– Switch off ignition.
– Disconnect the service disconnect plug.
– Remove the fuse.
•Securing the high-voltage system against re-activation:
– Withdraw the ignition key and keep it safe.
– Keep the service disconnect plug safe or secure the battery master switch against re-
activation.
– Insulate the battery master switch, the plug connections etc. with dummy plugs, covering
caps or insulating tape with the corresponding warning notice.
•Check the de-energized state with a voltage tester. Even with disconnected high-voltage
system, residual voltage can still be present.
•Ground and short-circuit the high-voltage system (necessary only if voltage is higher than
1000 V).
•Voltage below 1000 V: Cover the parts which are close to the system or which are energized e.
g. with insulating cloth, hoses or plastic coverings. Voltage higher than 1000 V: Cover the parts
with insulating plates/protective panels specially developed for this purpose so that sufficient
protection against contact to adjacent parts is ensured.
•Regard the following before re-energizing the high-voltage system:
– All tools and utilities are removed from the hybrid/electric vehicle.
– Remove the grounding and short circuit of the high-voltage system. Do not touch any of
the cables now.
– Attach the protective paneling that has been removed before.
– Remove the protective measures at the switching system.

7.4.3Parameters
Many of the on-board systems supply digital measured values in the form of parameters for fast diagnostics.
Parameters indicate the present state or nominal and actual values of the components. The device displays the
parameters alphanumerically and graphically.
Example 1
The engine temperature can be within a range of -30 °C to 120 °C.
If the temperature sensor reports 9 °C but the engine actually has a temperature of 80 °C, the ECU calculates an
incorrect injection time.
A trouble code is not stored, as this temperature is logical for the ECU.
Example 2
Fault text: Oxygen sensor signal faulty
In both cases, diagnostics can be significantly eased if the corresponding parameters are read out.
The mega macs 56 Bike reads the parameters and displays them in plain text. It additionally provides information on
the parameters.

NOTE
The use of the measuring technology menu requires the optionally available measurement
module (MT 56).
Here you can select measured variables and channel. Then you can perform various measurements.
Measurement technology is a digital signal acquisition and output. This means that the voltage signal is detected and
saved within a few microseconds. Only if there are enough values saved, the signal will be displayed as a curve on the
screen.
8.1Oscilloscope
Use the oscilloscope for measuring and/or depicting the following measured variables:
•Voltage
•Current
•Resistance
Current measurements are allowed exclusively with the clamp meter from Hella Gutmann. Depending on the required
measurement, different clamps are to be used.
CAUTION
Overvoltage
Fire hazard/danger of damage to the device and its surroundings
Comply with the max. permitted voltage load of the oscilloscope channels:
•Alternating voltage (AC): max. 30 V

8.1.3Setting Measuring Ranges
The measuring range can be set in three different ways in the device:
•manual
The user adjusts the measuring range.
•automatic
The measuring range is adjusted automatically once depending on the input signal.
•continuously automatic
The measuring range is continuously adjusted to the input signal.
At the beginning of each measurement you need to set the measuring range manually. Resistance measurements are
excluded from this rule. Here the measuring range is being adapted automatically and continuously (Auto Range
function active).

8.1.4Configuring the Trigger
The signal pickup is realized in the trigger mode if the time axis in the oscilloscope is set <1.0 s.
The depiction of the signal is only triggered once the signal reaches a certain voltage point. As the device always fixes
the voltage point at the same position on the screen, it appears as a still image to the human eye. In most cases, the
default trigger settings are sufficient for expressive signal depiction. If the default trigger settings are insufficient,
however, the depiction can be influenced by certain trigger parameters:
•Trigger mode
•Trigger edge
•Trigger level
8.1.4.1Setting the Trigger Position
By adjusting the trigger position, you can shift the signal depiction to the left or to the right.
Proceed as follows to set the trigger position while measurement is in progress:

available:
•Automatic (standard setting)
The oscilloscope generates a triggering in regular intervals and depicts the signal on the screen, even if the
recorded signal delivers no trigger conditions.
•Normal
The signal will be only displayed and actualized if it passes the manually prescribed trigger level. The former
depiction remains on the screen until the signal passes the trigger level again.

CAUTION
Overvoltage
Fire hazard/danger of damage to the device and its surroundings
Comply with the max. permitted voltage load of the oscilloscope channels:
•Alternating voltage (AC): max. 30 V
•Direct current voltage (DC): max. 60 V
The coupling is used to set which shares of the input signal shall be indicated. If signals with direct-current voltage and
alternating voltage interfere, the DC voltage signal can be filtered out by setting the coupling, e.g., when checking the
alternator.
Proceed as follows to set the coupling while measurement is in progress:
1. Call up Settings with
2. Select >Miscellaneous<.
3. Open the list under Coupling with
4. Select >Alternating voltage (AC)< or >Direct-current voltage (DC)<.
If you select >Alternating voltage<, the DC voltage share of the input signal is filtered out.
If you select >Direct-current voltage<, the device indicates the complete input signal.
5. Confirm the selection with
The signal indication will be adapted.
