Abstract:
A multi-test, hand-held instrument and method for testing engine sensors and ignition modules includes a housing enclosing a battery and an electrical circuit. The electrical circuit includes a first test circuit electrically interconnected with said battery for testing potentiometer-type, temperature-type and Hall effect type sensors and ignition modules, a second test circuit electrically interconnected with the battery for testing oxygen, reluctance and knock sensors, and a third test circuit for testing the battery in the instrument. A first switch selects between the first or second test circuits, while a second switch selects between a component testing mode and a battery testing mode. Electrical leads extend outwardly from the housing and are connectable to the engine component being tested. A pair of light indicators, with each light indicator including a LED and a resistor connected in parallel, provide a variable output display to allow the test instrument to be used to test various engine sensors and ignition modules, and to test these components on different types of vehicles.
Abstract:
In multimeters having a plurality of input connections there is a danger of the measuring conductors being incorrectly connected in such a manner that the setting of the measurement range switch does not correspond to the input connections to which contact is made. In order to avoid damage which may be caused by making an incorrect contact to the input connections, an electrically and/or mechanically acting disabling device is coupled to the measurement range switch for permitting a disabling of particular input connections. The disabling is carried out in such a manner that contact can always only be made to that input connection for receiving a test signal through the measuring conductors, to which a measurable variable is assigned that corresponds to the measurable variable set with the measurement range switch.
Abstract:
A measuring amplifier device is provided with an input circuit producing different functions of an input signal in order to permit output signals in different measuring ranges to be produced. The circuit can be constituted by an operational amplifier having a feedback connection composed of a series arrangement of several elements each defining a particular measuring range together with subtraction stages forming signals corresponding to each range, or by a plurality of diodes or diode-resistor networks connected to divide the input signal between them and each defining a different measuring scale.
Abstract:

The device is integrated in a housing including at least one unitary block, the unitary block including a through-slot suitable for receiving an electrical conductor of the electrical installation, the through-slot extending along a main axis. Each unitary block includes: a current measurement module, configured to measure an electrical current flowing in the electrical conductor; a voltage measurement module for measuring voltage through capacitive coupling; and a power supply module, configured to pick up an electrical energy from the electrical conductor, the modules being arranged around the through-slot. The device is configured to obtain at least one electrical quantity on the basis of the current and voltage measurements, and to transmit the at least one electrical quantity via a communication interface.
