AU Tool DOT3 Manual de usuario

Foreword

This manual provides the usage of this brake fluid tester and the basic profes-

sional knowledge required, including the safety instructions and effective test

instructions for the device, so that the technician can use the device to

perform brake fluid testing. Please read this manual carefully before using the

product for the first time and refer to the following documents to assist in

diagnosis.

● Vehicle Original Service Manual

● Related technical bulletins

● The Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) provided by brake fluid

manufacturer. Please put the relevant documents in the portable box of this

device for easy checking at any time.

Safety instructions

General safety guidelines

● Please read this manual before the first use

● Please wear goggles when working and be careful not to splash brake

fluid into your eyes

● Do not perform the test without sufficient liquid in the beaker (the test

stick can be damaged by empty boiling)

● Do not touch to avoid burns after the test, as the test stick and liquid

are at high temperature.

● Do not pour the brake fluid back into the reservoir as the structure of

the fluid has been damaged and the boiling point has been lowered,

otherwise, it will affect driving safety.

● After the test, please empty the brake fluid and fill another 50ml of

water to test the boiling point in order to clean the residual brake fluid of the

test stick.

● If the same brake fluid sample is tested continuously and the data

varies, this is normal because the test sample has been boiled and the

structure has changed.

Statement

● This equipment is designed for brake fluid detection and is not responsi-

ble for any product damage or property damage caused by its use for other

purposes.

● This equipment requires a professional technician or trained service

personnel. Please do not touch or use this equipment with non-automotive

technicians or by children.

Instructions

Sampling operation

（1）The unit needs to use a 12 V battery as a working power supply.

● Clamp the power clip of the main unit to the 12V battery, and be careful

not to connect the positive and negative reversely or short-circuit with the

vehicle.

（2）Use the injection sampler to suck the brake fluid, take out 50 ml of

fluid, and then fill it into the beaker to be tested.

● Caution! The brake fluid to be tested should be filled into the beaker

over the 40 ml scale and not more than 50 ml.

（3）Put the test stick into the beaker and make sure the sampling hole of

the test stick is immersed in the brake fluid and the air bubbles are bled

from the cavity inside the test head to avoid affecting the test results.

● Do not shake, knock or drop the test head (heater bar) to avoid injury to

the sensor and other parts.

Detection Operation

● The red power clamp is connected to the positive of the battery, and the

black power clamp is connected to the negative, and then the tester is

automatically powered on.

● Select measurement mode: normal mode or brand mode.

● Select the brand and brake fluid type (DOT3\DOT4, etc.).

● After entering the ready interface, press and hold the S button for about

16s, and wait for the progress bar to run full to complete the test. During the

test, the live fluid temperature and battery voltage will be displayed.

● When the test is complete, remove the unit vertically to avoid brake

fluid from being spilled.

Maintenance and Calibration

Maintenance

● When it is not in use for a long time, please detect it with water, so that

the corrosive brake fluid can be removed vertically from the test stick and

dilute the corrosiveness, and then leave the heating stick to dry in the air at

room temperature.

Calibration

● Fill the beaker with water and test if the boiling point is at 100 °C (212 °F)

± 3 %, and make a quick initial diagnosis of whether the tool is working

properly. If more rigorous standards are required, it must be returned to the

factory for re-testing and calibration.

Brake fluid boiling point reference value

Remarks:

DOT 4 + (or Super DOT 4) does not have a standard specification. There are

currently three statements:

● The boiling point specification is in accordance with DOT 4, but the wet

absorption performance is lower.

● The boiling point specification is based on DOT 5.1, but the low tempera-

ture fluidity is based on DOT 4.

● The boiling point specification is 300 °C/ 195 °C, and other properties are

in accordance with DOT 4.

Why do we need to detect the boiling point of brake fluid

● Brake fluid is essentially a corrosive, water-soluble fluid for low-tempera-

ture hydraulics and is not an actual oil. Brake fluid tends to absorb wetness

in the air causing the boiling point to decrease and the brake fluid disc to boil

due to prolonged friction. Brake fluids with lowered boiling points are more

likely to boil and generate vapor due to heat absorption. Since the brake fluid

circuit is a sealed fluid system and no air is allowed to exist, the boiling steam

will affect the transmission of the fluid pressure channel and finally cause

brake failure.

● Generally, the brake fluid should be changed every 20,000 kilometers or

within two years. Detecting the boiling point of brake fluid is to determine

whether the brake fluid is good or bad, which is closely related to driving

safety.

● In addition to the above-mentioned reasons that will cause the air lock

phenomenon to cause the brake to fail, it will also greatly consume the

additives in the oil, causing the brake fluid lose its protective ability and acidify

the brake fluid. And it will produce copper ions, which will cause metal corro-

sion and produce sludge, and finally, jam the master cylinder and sub-cylin-

der of the brake system, and damage the ABS.

Why the actual boiling point is lower than the detected boiling point

● The typical working temperature of brake calipers is about 150°C~200°C.

If the boiling point of the brake fluid is detected to be 180°C when the brake

fluid is taken out from the mouth of the reservoir, the brake fluid caliper point

is actually only about 155°C, because the rubber tubing easily absorbs water,

resulting in a large difference.

How to prevent/remove vapor

● In fact, it is impossible to completely prevent vapor from entering, so

vapor will enter the brake fluid from the brake fluid reservoir cover, rubber

hose, and connector gap.For the majority of cars, vapor increases by about

2% over a year, and this alone can significantly affect brake fluid quality, so it

should be taken seriously.

● The only way to remove water vapor is to use twice the amount of brake

fluid. One bottle is used for rinsing to remove residual vapor in the pipeline,

and the other bottle is used for adding and refilling the pipeline.
