Product description

3.1 Intended use
The FSA 500 is a portable diagnostic device for use in motor vehicle workshops.
The FSA 500 is suitable for the checking of vehicles with spark ignition, Wankel and diesel engines and can be used for testing all the electrical and electronic systems on passenger cars, commercial vehicles and motorcycles.
The FSA 500 picks up vehicle-specific signals and relays them via Bluetooth or the USB interface to e.g. DCU 120, DCU 220 or a PC/laptop (not included in the scope of delivery). The software FSA 500 CompacSoft [plus]must be installed for this.
The FSA 500 is not suitable for use as a measuring instrument for test drives.
The maximum permissible measurement voltage at the Multi measurement inputs is 200 V. FSA 500 is therefore not to be used for measuring isolation from the supply on electric and hybrid vehicles.
FSA 500 CompacSoft [plus] features the following functions:

• Motor vehicle identification
• Settings
• Test steps for checking spark-ignition and diesel engines
• Multimeter measurements for voltage, current and resistance
• Signal generator (e.g. for testing sensors)
• Component test (checking of vehicle components)
• Characteristic curve tracer
• 4-channel/2-channel universal oscilloscope
• Primary ignition oscilloscope
• Ignition oscilloscope Secondary
• Insulation measurements with FSA 050 (special accessory)

For the assessment of measurement results, confirmed “go” measurement curves can be stored as reference in the quantity measurement system.
3.2 Prerequisites for operation with FSA 500 CompacSoft [plus] 3.2.1 Hardware
DCU 120, DCU 220 or PC/laptop required.
Minimum requirements for PC/laptop

• Operating system: Windows 10
• CPU (processor): 2 GHz or more
• RAM (working memory): 4 GB or more
• Free disk space (SSD or HDD): 5 GB or more
• USB ports (USB 2.0 or USB 3.0): A USB interface for the Bluetooth USB adapter or the USB connection cable

3.2.2 Software
Current version of FSA 500 CompacSoft [plus] installed on DCU 120, DCU 220 or PC/laptop.
For control unit diagnostics with CAS[plus], the current ESI[tronic] software (info type SD) must be installed and licensed on the PC/laptop. Control unit diagnosis is possible only with a KTS module. This is subject to additional cost.

3.5 Product description
The FSA 500 consists of the measuring unit with internal battery supply and a power supply unit with power supply cable for supplying the measuring unit and charging the internal storage battery. The USB connecting cable or Bluetooth USB adapter is used for connection to DCU 120, DCU 220 or a PC/laptop. Various sensor cables are also supplied for measured value recording.
DANGER – Risk of tripping when transporting and taking measurements with the FSA 500 and the sensor cables! The sensor cables represent a greater tripping hazard during transportation and measurement.
Always remove the sensor cables prior to transportation!
Route the sensor cables such that there is no risk of tripping.
DANGER – Risk of injury from unexpected closing of the hood!
If the FSA 500 is suspended from the hood, there is a risk of injury from unexpected closing of the hood if it is not firmly fixed in position or if the gas-filled struts are too weak to support the additional weight of the FSA 500 and the connected cables.
Make sure the open hood is firmly in position.
The FSA 500 could fall on the ground, for example, if not properly mounted. This could then result in damage!

5.2 Notes on measurement
DANGER – Risk of electric shock if measurements are taken on motor vehicles without the battery B– cable!
Measurements taken with the battery B– cable not connected to vehicle ground or the battery negative terminal will result in injury, heart failure or fatal electric shocks.
For all measurements, connect the FSA 500 by way of the battery B– cable to vehicle ground or the battery negative terminal.
DANGER – Risk of electric shock from excessively high measurement voltage!
The measurement of voltages in excess of 200 V using CH1 / CH2 multi measurement cables will result in injury, heart failure or fatal electric shocks.
CH1 / CH2 multi measurement cables are only to be used for measuring voltages up to max. 200 V.
Never use CH1 / CH2 multi measurement cable to measure mains or similar voltages.
Measurements with FSA 500 are allowed only in a dry environment.
The FSA 500 is not to be used for measuring isolation from the supply on electric and hybrid vehicles. Measurements on high-voltage capacitor ignitions are not allowed as voltage values greater than 300 Volt may occur in this type of ignition.
Measurements on the passenger car piezo common rail injector are only permitted with special adapter cables (optional accessories).
The test prods supplied with the test prod set (1 683 050 050) can only be used for measurements below 30 volts.
Basic approach to measurements on the vehicle:

1. Switch off the ignition.

2. Connect FSA 500 to the battery (B–) or engine ground via the battery B– cable

3. Connect the required measurement cables to the vehicle.
    During a measurement, do not hold the measurement cables by hand.

4. Switch on the ignition.

5. Perform the measurements.

6. Switch off the ignition after measuring.

7. Disconnect the measurement cables from the vehicle.

8. Disconnect the battery B– cable.
   Measurement complete.

Observational errors may occur while the storage battery is being charged.
During a 24 h measurement, storage battery operation is not possible (battery life < 4 h).
FSA 500 must then be supplied with voltage from the power supply unit. The DCU 120, DCU 220 or PC/laptop must also stay enabled during that time (e.g. sleep mode in Windows operating system should not be set).
5.3 Updating the software
Updating the “FSA 500 CompacSoft [plus]” software is done via DDM (Diagnostic Download Manager).
For further information, see Help Center DDM, which can be opened with “?”.

1. Connection at the input secondary measuring sensor
2. 1.6 Vpeak ±30% at 100 mA current change within 200 ns with connection at input clip-on sensor (L/C approx. 136 µH/5 nF)
3. For voltages >60 V, U[V] x t[ms] ≤ 10000 V/ms applies, e.g. a voltage of 200 V can be applied no longer than 50 ms. The maximum voltage reduces at frequencies of >1 MHz with 20 dB/decade, e.g. sine 1 MHz maximum peak = 200 V / sine 10 MHz maximum peak = 20 V
