PERATORS MANUAL Page 6 The lenses are protected by an air curtain which reduces sooting In addition the sampling head has an autorange feature which can provide a step change in LED intensity to compensate for dirtiness The measuring tube contains rings to eliminate reflection and the LED is pulsed so that the detection system can ignore any ambient light level Mid point calibration is provided by automatically interrupting this pulse train to provide for example 3 pulses out of 8 to give a calibrated light level of 3 8 or 37 596 patented Sampling pipes are available to suit most exhaust systems including mid chassis and vertical Extension poles are available for very high vertical exhausts The interface unit is connected to the sampling head by a single cable of up to 20m in length DX260 or via cableless Bluetooth communications DX260BT The cable carries power to the head and data in both directions for the cableless system the smokehead derives its power from internal rechargeable batteries All information is sent to the host computer via a single RS232 link This link also carries the control commands from the computer to the Smokemeter system Headings of RPM and oil temperature are routed to the computer from other peripherals typically a Petrol EGA or from the DX211 12 RPM Adapter or via a cableless Bluetooth comms system The host computer controls the test sequence and carries out all processing of the test
