Safety Information For your own safety and the safety of others, and to prevent damage to the device and vehicles upon which it is used, it is important that the safety instructions herein presented throughout this manual be read and understood by all persons operating or coming into contact with the device. There are various procedures, techniques, tools, and parts for servicing vehicles, as well as in the skill of the person doing the work.
certain that any condition or service procedure encountered does not jeopardize your personal safety. DANGER When an engine is operating, keep the service area WELL VENTILATED or attach a building exhaust removal system to the engine exhaust system. Engines produce carbon monoxide, an odorless, poisonous gas that causes slower reaction time and can lead to serious personal injury or loss of life.
Refer to the service manual for the vehicle being serviced and adhere to all diagnostic procedures and precautions. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or damage to the test equipment. To avoid damaging the test equipment or generating false data, make sure the vehicle battery is fully charged and the connection to the vehicle DLC is clean and secure. Do not place the test equipment on the distributor of the vehicle. Strong electro-magnetic interference can damage the equipment.

4 CV Diagnostics Operations By establishing a data link to the electronic control systems of the vehicle being serviced through the VCI device, the Diagnostics application allows you to retrieve diagnostic information, view live data parameters, and perform active tests. The Diagnostics application can access the electronic control module (ECM) for various vehicle control systems, such as engine, transmission, antilock brake system (ABS), airbag system (SRS) and more.
12-volt power through the cigarette lighter receptacle or a connection to the vehicle battery. OBD II Vehicle Connection This type of connection only requires the main cable without any additional adapter. To connect to an OBD II vehicle 1. Connect the main cable’s female adapter to the Vehicle Data Connector on the VCI device, and tighten the captive screws. 2. Connect the cable’s 16-pin male adapter to the vehicle’s DLC, which is generally located under the vehicle dash.
NOTE Some adapters may have more than one adapter or may have test leads instead of an adapter. Whatever the case, make the proper connection to the vehicle’s DLC as required. To connect the cigarette lighter 1. Plug the DC power connector of the cigarette lighter into the DC power supply input port on the device. 2. Connect the male connector of the cigarette lighter into the vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle. To connect the clipper cable 1.
Pairing Up via BT Among all methods, BT pairing is recommended as the first choice for the communication between the MaxiSys Display Tablet and the VCI device. The working range for BT communication is about 210 feet (70 m); this means you can perform vehicle diagnosis freely around the workshop with greater convenience. When your customers are more than one, you need to connect two or more VCI devices to test vehicles.
USB Cable Connection The USB cable connection is a simple and quick way to establish communication between the MaxiSys Display Tablet and the VCI device. After properly connecting the USB cable from the tablet to the VCI device, the VCI navigation button at the bottom bar of the screen shows a green tick icon in a few seconds, and the USB LED on the VCI device illuminates solid green light, indicating the connection between the devices is successful.
Check if the Error LED on the VCI device is on, this may indicate there is a communication error between the devices, in this case try re-establishing the connection again; if this does not work, there may be a hardware problem with the device, in this case contact for technical support. B: If the VCI device is unable to establish a communication link, a prompt message displays with check instructions.

This function provides all the features needed for performing electrical and electronic circuit tests as well as monitoring signal activities on any modern vehicles, which shows you what is really going on with a vehicle’s electrical system.
DANGER The scope’s ground connection through the USB cable is for measurement purposes only. The oscilloscope does not have a protective safety ground. Do not connect the ground input (chassis) to any electrical power source. To prevent personal injury or death, use a voltmeter to check that there is no significant AC or DC voltage between the oscilloscope ground and the point to which you intend to connect it.
WARNING Do not tamper with or disassemble the oscilloscope, connectors or accessories. Internal damage will affect performance. Do not block any of the instrument’s air vents as overheating will cause damage to the oscilloscope. When cleaning the oscilloscope, use wet soft cloth with mild detergent in water. Do not allow water to enter the oscilloscope casing, as this will cause damage to the electronics inside. Glossary AC/DC Control Each channel can be set to either AC coupling or DC coupling.
compensate for the differences in data transfer rate from one device to another. Sampling Rate This term is used to define the number of samples per second captured by the oscilloscope. The faster the sampling rate of the scope, the more frequently it measures the signal voltage, and so the more detailed will be the trace that appears on the scope screen. Streaming Mode This term indicates a sampling mode in which the oscilloscope samples data and returns it to the computer in an unbroken stream.
Figure 15-1 Sample Sinusoidal Waveform Amplitude This term indicates the maximum voltage generated from the zero volts line of the oscilloscope. Frequency This term describes the number of signal occurrences per second. Frequency is measured in Hz (hertz). Square Waveform This term describes the waveform characteristics normally generated by signals switching between clearly defined voltage levels, such as a Hal effect sensor signal may create by switching a voltage to ground.
Figure 15-2 Sample Square Waveform Peak to Peak Voltage This term indicates the difference in voltage between the minimum and maximum voltages occurring in the waveform. MaxiScope Module The MaxiScope Automotive Oscilloscope tool kit is optional and available for purchase along with the MaxiSys package. There are 2 versions (basic and advanced versions) available.

18 Compliance Information FCC Compliance FCC ID: WQ8MAXISYSMY908 This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
FCC is 1.6 W/Kg. Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network.
