Page 10: Set-Up For Testing
SET�UP FOR TESTING Installation of Sensor Head(s) Full Flow Sensor Head Position the sensor head over the top of the exhaust stack with the extension handle. The hook attachment will aid the operator on the ground to visually aid in the placement of the head and the strong magnet clamp keeps the position without effort. -
Page 11: Snap Acceleration Test
SNAP ACCELERATION TEST The Model 6500 Smoke Meter has been designed in accordance with the specifications of SAE J1667. The meter will prompt the operator through the required three test sequence compute the average and the “spread”. However, the operator must be familiar with the document to make the determination if the test(s) meet the SAE J1667 and/or the individual state’s (province’s) test requirements. -

Use extreme caution when working around a hot stack. The tests are numbered sequentially. If the test is printed later, note the number of the record with the vehicle identification. Up to one hundred tests can be saved, until the memory has to be cleared. (See Appendix C for instructions on clearing tests from memory).
- Page 14 Installation for Rolling Test Undo the clamp bolt and nut and remove the extension handle. The magnetic clamp assembly will also separate from sensor head. Reinstall the magnetic clamp assembly directly to the sensor head. If the exhaust stack is equipped with an exhaust flapper, remove the flapper cover assembly. If this is not practical, tighten the hinge bolt on the flapper cover assembly to maintain the flapper in its maximum open position.
- Page 15 To delete test from memory, press ZERO button. Chart Recorder (Optional) The WAGER Model 6500 Smoke Meter outputs a 0 – 1 V signal through the banana jacks (located next to the AC power input plug). The output voltage reflects the opacity output where 0 V is 0 % opacity and 1 V = 100% opacity. Refer to the chart recorder’s documentation for instructions.

Page 18: Appendix A- Maintenance
APPENDIX A. MAINTENANCE Battery Replacement Remove the two screws and carefully lift off the top to expose the attached wires. Remove all four connectors from the front panel. Place the front panel aside. Turn the unit over. Remove the four screws holding the battery bracket in place. Remove the two connectors from each end of the battery. -
Page 19: Appendix B- Verification With Neutral Density Filter
The Neutral Density Filter allows you to verify that that the system operates within the ± 1% tolerance. The purpose of this operation is to verify that your 6500 opacity meter is reading correctly. Each filter or system comes with a document stating its value. If you have two filters, then you should have two separate documents. -
Page 20: Appendix C- Trouble Shooting

APPENDIX F. PRINTER MANUAL Please note that for safety reasons, the printer is shipped with no charge in the batteries. RS232 Interface Printers with an RS232 serial interface are fitted with a D25 socket. Connections to this socket are as follows: Direction Function... - Page 25 Paper Loading If the paper roll needs replacing open the lid and remove the remaining paper using the feed switch. Do not pull paper out of the rear of the mechanism. Reel off a few inches from the new paper roll and check that the end is square. Seat the new roll in the paper well with the paper emerging from the bottom of the roll.
- Page 26 Self Test To initiate self test press the power and feed switch together until the test starts. This will check all the mechanics and a large proportion of the software and hardware (except that dealing with the data interface) without the need for connection to a host. The software issue is printed in double height, double width text, followed by the character set in normal text and a list of the current settings of the user selectable options.
