1 Safety
1.1 Introduction
Please read the standard operating procedures and users manual thoroughly and carefully before commissioning the machinery and comply with the instructions. The operating manual should always be conveniently stored to be readily available at all times.
This operating manual is an addition to the operating manual for the testing lane Eurosystem TRUCK. All safety instructions provided in chapter 1 of these operating instructions must be complied with.
Apart from the safety instructions mentioned above, no additional safety instructions apply for the operation of the speedometer tester. The speedometer tester is not equipped with any additional safety features.
1.2 Safety Instructions
The speedometer tester may only be operated by trained, authorized personnel.
The speedometer tester may only be used and operated for its intended purpose: Testing the tachometer function up to 160 km/h up to 13 t axle load.
Sudden or strong braking actions and jerky accelerations are forbidden.
The vehicle must be secured with tightening belts onto the roller set.
Always drive straight onto the test stands rollers. Front-wheel drive vehicles must maintain a straight driving direction.
Running vehicle engines represent potential carbon monoxide poisoning. The operator/owner is responsible for providing sufficient air ventilation.
Due to the high noise level (>90 dB), appropriate ear protection should be worn.
No persons are allowed in the vicinity of the rollers while the test stand is in operation!

2 Description
2.1 Introduction
The speedometer tester is designed for vehicles with their speedometer connection at the driven axle
2.2 Usage, Range of Application
The speedometer tester is a roller tester for the inspection of the speedometer function of passenger cars and transporters. The speedometer tester permits the measurement of speed deviation as well as the deviation of the mileage meter.
Trucks, passenger cars and transporters up to a total axle load of 13 t can be tested. The speedometer tester and the surrounding work area must be kept clean.
The tester is automatically on when the test vehicle is driving at more than 5 km/h on the rollers. If the speed falls below 5 km/h, the tester switches off automatically.
The recorded measuring values are transmitted to the Eurosystem communication desk and then displayed on the screen. The storing and the reviewing of measurements is described in the operating manual for the testing lane Eurosystem TRUCK.
2.3 Installation
The test stand may only be installed and commissioned by the manufacturer's trained authorized personnel or other qualified technicians of MAHA dealers or representatives. MAHA instructions must be followed when installing or expanding the testing device.
The manufacturers CE conformity declaration becomes invalid when the installation is not don e by qualified service technicians. MAHA is not liable for damage caused by unqualified, unautho- rized installation. Further, the manufacturers warranty also becomes invalid.

2.4 Noise Emission
The noise emission test was conducted during the speedometer test, at the highest test speed of 160 km/h.
Test results
A-evaluated sound pressure level: 105,0 dB(A) (averaged with all measuring points, see
measuring protocol) A-evaluated acoustic power level: 103,4 dB(A) (calculation based on DIN 45635 Part 1) Due to the high noise in the test room, ear protection should be worn.

3.1 Introduction
Please also read chapter 3, Eurosystem PC-Program, in the operating manual for the testing lane Eurosystem TRUCK.
The storing and the reviewing of measurements is described in the operating manual for the testing lane Eurosystem TRUCK.
3.2 Testing Procedure
In order to start the test procedure, the monitor must show the main menu. The instruction line must show the following message:
No vehicle loaded. Select with <1>.
If this message does not appear press <F8 NEW VEHICLE>.
Now the test lane is ready for a vehicle to be driven on.
When the vehicle drives onto the individual equipment the corresponding test screen is blended in.
Always pay attention to the (in the description this is indicated by
The recorded measurement values are automatically taken over in the temporary memory and remain there until they are stored in connection with customer/vehicle or until they are overwritten when a new test is conducted.
The following guides the user through the testing procedure step by step. You should be familiar with the usage of the individual screen elements and the keyboard. If this is not the case, please read the following sections of the operating manual for the testing lane Eurosystem TRUCK:

3.2.1 Securing the Test Vehicle
It is highly recommended to tie down the test vehicle with a restraining strap system. The tie plates for fastening the restraining straps are available at the manufacturer. The restraining strap system avoids skidding of the test vehicle within the roller set.
In order to secure the vehicle, the two restraining straps must be laid around the vehicle’s towing lug and fixed on the tie plates. Front-wheel drive vehicles have to be secured at the front, rear-engine drive vehicles at the rear. Cover the restraining straps in the area around the towing lug with a wear-resistant hose to avoid excessive abrasion.
3.2.2 Speedometer Test
Rotating test stand rollers are potentially dangerous! Risk of injury!
The speedometer tester permits the measurement of the difference between the actual vehicle speed and the speed displayed on the tachometer of the vehicle.
The speedometer test can be conducted by using the keyboard or the remote control. If a remote control is not available, a second person will be needed to perform the test.
