    TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS The R.H.W. Series 2 Full Flow Smoke Opacity Meter meets the SAE J1667 specification for diesel emission testing. Accuracy The system is designed to be accurate within + or – 1.0% opacity. The control unit self calibrates each time it is powered on under clear stack conditions with self tests at 0% and 100%.
  • Page 17 MAINTENCE & TROUBLESHOOTING The RHW Series 2 Full Flow is built around the most current technology and high grade components. All parts have a 1 year factory warranty so if the unit is new, do not attempt to alter or replace any of the parts without consent of the factory as this may void the warranty.
  • Page 18 OPTIC CABLES These head duty cables are used to connect the transmitter / receiver to the wireless sensor head black box module. The cables are keyed so they cannot be connected incorrectly Sensor Head Black Box Module The sensor head module is a sealed unit and no maintenance is required for the operation of the meter. Ensure the battery is fully charged as indicated by the Led on the charging unit.
  • Page 19 Each state or country uses different values for different vehicle years to determine if the vehicle is emitting soot in excess of the limits set by the local guidelines. The RHW Series 2 Full Flow does not determine if the vehicle passes or fails a emission test. It is up to the user to know the local regulations and use the average opacity printed out on a valid test report to compare this result with values stated in the local regulations.
  • Page 20 Wireless Channels The system communicates via wireless signals that operate on distinct channels labeled C – N. All devices that are considered a system all must be assigned to the same channel. So if the HC is on channel H, the SH and printer must also be assigned to channel H. The user can run an energy scan to inspect the local environment to see which channel provides the best communication.
