3.2 Intended Use

The mega macs 56 is a mobile device for detecting and rectifying faults in automotive electronic systems.

It uses a diagnostic interface to establish a connection to the automotive electronics and to provide access to descriptions of the vehicle system. A lot of this data is transferred to the device directly from the Hella Gutmann diagnostic database via online connection. Therefore, the device must be permanently online.

The device is not suitable for repairing electrical machines and equipment or home electrics. Diagnostic devices from other manufacturers will not be supported.

If the device is used in a way not authorized by Hella Gutmann, the safety of the device may be influenced.

The device is intended for industrial use. Outside of industrial environments, e.g., in commercial areas or in the centre of a town, radio interference suppression measures may need to be taken.

3.3 Using the Bluetooth® Function
The terms of use of the Bluetooth® function may be restricted or prohibited through law or corresponding legal regulations in certain countries.

Observe the provisions in force in the respective country before using the Bluetooth® function.

8. Measurements

NOTE
The use of the measuring technology menu requires the optionally available measurement module (MT 56).

Here you can select measured variables and channel. Then you can perform various measurements.

Measurement technology is a digital signal acquisition and output. This means that the voltage signal is detected and saved within a few microseconds. Only if there are enough values saved, the signal will be displayed as a curve on the screen.

8.1 Oscilloscope
The use of the measuring technology menu requires the optionally available measurement module (MT 56).

Use the oscilloscope for measuring and/or depicting the following measured variables:

• Voltage
• Current
• Resistance

Current measurements are allowed exclusively with the clamp meter from Hella Gutmann. Depending on the required measurement, different clamps are to be used.

CAUTION
Overvoltage
Fire hazard/danger of damage to the device and its surroundings
Comply with the max. permitted voltage load of the oscilloscope channels
