Safety Introduction Thoroughly read this manual before operating the equipment and comply with the instructions. Always display the manual in a conspicuous location. Personal injury and property damage incurred due to non-compliance with these safety instructions are not covered by the product liability regulations. Symbols and Signal Words 1.2.1 Personal Injury...
Intended Use • The emission tester is intended exclusively for the sampling and analysis of vehicle exhaust gases. • The maximum exhaust gas temperature during use of the supplied probe is 250 °C. • The maximum exhaust gas temperature during use of the optionally available high-temperature probe is 750 °C.
Safety Instructions DANGER • Danger of burns on hot exhaust probe! Only hold the probe with the handle specifically intended for this purpose! • Danger of carbon monoxide poisoning from vehicle exhaust fumes! The oper- ator must ensure that any exhaust emission tests are only performed in spac- es with adequate exhaust gas extraction and ventilation.
Maintenance The MET 6.x must be serviced in accordance with the specifications given in the section entitled ‘Servicing’ and the servicing work must be documented in the servicing log. The following information must be recorded: • When servicing was performed •...

To ensure that any official exhaust emission inspection that is performed is compliant with legal regulations, the unit must be operated via a PC with the corresponding MAHA Emission Software (MES). In such a case, the MET is operated from the PC. The software components for specific countries are described in separate operating instructions.
Basic Settings Display Language Display: Menu > Set language Time MES: Otto or Diesel > Device diagnosis > Time/Date Display: Menu > Set time Date The unit's date setting is configured before delivery. In accordance with official calibration regulations, the date must not be altered by the end customer if the unit is used in connection with the regular technical vehicle inspection as per section 29 of the German Road Traffic Licensing Regulations (StVZO).
Display: Menu > Servicing menu > Leaktightness test Zero Adjustment The MET checks whether zero-balance adjustment is necessary before each measurement. If the last zero-balance adjustment was performed more than 8 minutes ago, an adjustment is automatically performed before the measurement. This involves ambient air being induced through combined particle and activated carbon filter F2.
Measurement When a measurement is started, the display shows the measurement values relevant for official calibrations in the top three lines, with additional information in the bottom line (the information line). You can use the arrow keys to access the following in the information line: •...
"EUROSYSTEM Software for Exhaust Gas Analysers" (TIE10101_009), which is provided on the installation CD. Configuring the PC–MET and PC–MAHA VCI connections The establishment of the WiFi connection for configuring the MAHA VCI is described in the user manual “Establishing and Operating WiFi Networks” (BA315001_002).
Network configurations can be adjusted at the unit. Display: Menu > Network menu > LAN settings Connection Display The LAN connection status is shown in the display: > < Connection is being looked for >–< LAN connection established WiFi Connection As an option, the exhaust gas analyser and control PC can also be connected wirelessly via WiFi.

be significantly shorter if climatic conditions are unfavourable (i.e. high humidity, extreme temperatures). Cleaning the Sampling Probe and Tubing Soot and condensate collects in the sampling tubing. These residues are removed as follows: Detach the sampling tubing from the unit. Use compressed air (5 bar max.) to blow out the tubing towards the exhaust probe until no more condensate and soot comes out.

Open the filters under clean working conditions by turning the filter hous- ing anticlockwise. Open the filter clamp by carefully pulling it off and remove the filter in- sert. Check the filter clamp, filter holder and filter housing for dirt. If neces- sary, clean the affected parts with a dry, lint-free cloth.
Page 22
Insert the new filter insert into the filter holder and fasten it with the fil- ter clamp. Fasten the filter housing by turning it clockwise thoroughly finger-tight on the filter housing. Re-insert the F1 filters. It must be ensured that the marking of the filter holder points upwards (12 o’clock position).
