General information1

1.1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Jaltest WST is a portable equipment of small dimensions made for checking the correct operation of brake pad wear sensors as well as their state.
It has a selector that enables the user to choose the type of sensor to be checked and, through a display incorporated to the device, see the voltage value (V) in an easy way.
It enables reducing considerably the time invested in checks thanks to the cable kit that provides an optimal connection.

1.2 INDICATIONS AND SUGGESTIONS

• Use the equipment only as described in the user manual.
• Prevent non-qualified staff from working with this equipment.
• Prevent the equipment f rom being in contact with liquids, do not use it on wet surfaces and avoid exposure to the rain.
• Store the equipment and its components in a dry place, away f rom heat sources and out of the reach of solar radiation.
• Prevent the equipment from being knocked or falling.
• Switch off the equipment after its use to avoid discharging the battery.

1.3 EQUIPMENT COMPOSITION
Jaltest WST is formed by an electronic device with a sensor type selector and a complete kit of connectors.

Procedure

2.1 CHECK OF CONTINUOUS AND END-OF-PAD/2WIRE SENSORS

1. Disassemble the vehicle wheel if needed

2. Disconnect the connector of the brake caliper sensor

3. Loosen the brake pads with the help of the adapter until they can be disassembled
   Important: The pushers must be at the same height, with a difference below 0.25mm.
   Otherwise, the brake caliper must be replaced.

4. Connect the corresponding connector from Jaltest WST to the sensor connector

5. Turn the sensor type selector to the corresponding position. See table 2

6. Adjust the distance between the pusher and the brake caliper according to table of the selected sensor and compare the values shown on Jaltest WST with those of the table (maximum and minimum values)
   Table 3 for manufacturer DAF, IVECO, MB, SCANIA, (+)
   Table 4 for MAN, MERITOR
   Table 5 for end-of-pad/2-wire sensors

Important: Important: The adjustment spindles should not be totally unthreaded, since the synchronisation between the pushers would be lost. Never exceed the absolute minimum dimension “L” shown on table 1.

Note:

• If Jaltest WST indicates 0V during the test, check the position of the selector and the connection.
• If the values are correct and within a tolerance of ± 0.25V, the sensor operates correctly. Otherwise, the sensor must be replaced.

2.2 CHECK OF THE WEAR OF BRAKE PADS AND DISCS
To check the wear, the brake calipers can assemble 2 types of sensors: end-of- pad/2wire sensors and continuous sensors. Depending on the type of sensor, the check must be performed in one way or another. In any case, the following steps must be carried out:

1. Disassemble the vehicle wheel if needed
2. Disconnect the connector of the brake caliper sensor
3. Connect the corresponding connector from Jaltest WST to the sensor connector

2.2.1 END-OF-PAD/ 2-WIRE SENSORS

1. Turn sensor type selector to the position of the end-of-pad/2-wire sensor
2. If the OK LED lights up in green, the wear is correct
3. If the NOT OK LED lights up in red, it must be visually inspected, since Jaltest WST does not indicate any wear value

Note: If Jaltest WST indicates a value below 0.2V or above 4.8V, the brake caliper sensor is an end-of-pad/2-wire sensor and, therefore, it cannot be checked with accuracy the wear state of the pad. The inspection must be performed visually.

2.2.2. CONTINUOUS SENSORS

1. Turn sensor type selector to the position of the corresponding continuous sensor. See table 2
2. Compare the value shown with those of table 3 in case of sensors in DAF, IVECO, MB, SCANIA, (+) and with table 4 or sensors in MAN and MERITOR
3. If the value shown in Jaltest WST is below 2.7V, the OK LED lights up in green
   If the value shown in Jaltest WST is above 2.7V, the NOT OK LED lights up in red. In this case, the wear of brake pads and discs must be visually inspected and it should be considered to replace them.

Note: If it is a continuous sensor and Jaltest WST indicates a value below 0.2V or above 4.8V, the component might have an open circuit or a short circuit.
