INTRODUCTION
The method is based on measuring the attenuation of light beam in a cell filled with the measured
smoke.
Both steady-state and acceleration measurements are possible.
The acceleration test (obligatory during the emission inspection) registers the idle and over speed
revolutions, acceleration time and peak opacity.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
The apparatus meets requirements for operation according to the EN 61010-1.
The LCS 2004 must always be connected to the network voltage, supplied by separable feeding
Euro
Removing covers from the apparatus is not allowed, there is danger of injury caused by electric
current.
For emission control working sites and for service working sites, relevant safety regulations are
applied. In that spirit, the operator must organise training course for service staff of the measuring
apparatus. From the point of view of measuring provided on the car, those acts are usual service
actions, which are, however, executed at run.
Therefore, safety precautions must be kept according to the manufacturers of the car and of the
engine that are valid for testing the engine during its run. Sufficient suction must be ensured of
escaping exhaustion gases, and outlet of outleting gases from the analyser, out of the measuring
working site, too.
Safety pins: network plug of sampling unit with fuse T 1.6 A
The device should be protected against ambient water in any form (rain, sprayed water, etc.)

The sampling unit is an integral part of the Opacimeter. It is connected to the PC via interconnecting cables,
which are 7 meters long (connectors K1).
4.2
CONSTRUCTION OF APPARATUS
4.2.1
MECHANICAL PART
Coating of the sampling unit is made out of black matted plastic. Electronics of the sampling unit is situated in
the sheet shading cover. Sampling probes are made of flexible stainless hose, provided with protective braiding.
Prolonging hoses of probes are made of silicone rubber, resistant against crude oil products and increased
temperature.
The stand for LCS 2400 is made of steel material and is sprayed with acrylate two-component paint.
4.2.2
ELECTRONIC PART
Inside electronic system and all clamps, connectors and sensors accessible from outside are galvanically
separated from the network, and there is voltage on them not exceeding the safety voltage.
The sampling unit is fitted with electronic control of opacimeter optical system. Communication with the PC goes
through serial line RS 232C.
Sampling units electronics is placed on two printed wiring boards, namely the microprocessor, memory &
decoder board and board of alternating voltage distribution. Alternating voltage 230 V feeds both two built-in
fans and heating system of measuring cell and detector.
4.2.3
PNEUMATIC PART
Pneumatic part the Opacimeter is placed in the sampling unit and is represented on the Fig. 2. Basis of the
sampling unit is measuring cell (1), light source and detector block (2), with support of which the opacity
measuring itself is processed. Mirror (3) serves for the reflection of the light, which is sent from the light source.
Fans (4) direct the direction of smoke, so that no contamination of optic system occurs. Heating coil (spiral) (5)
serves for the measuring cell warming up.

MEASURING PRINCIPLE
The Opacimeters smokiness measuring method is in accordance with ECE R24 directives for measuring by
free acceleration method.
Principle of opacimeter measuring consists in measuring of amount of light passing through a sample of an
exhaust gas. Absence of smoke in the measuring cell means zero opacity (optical density). Complete shading of
the measuring cell (non-transparent gas) means 100 % opacity. As shown on Fig. 3, exhaust gas is led by
sampling probe (6) to the measuring cell (1) with 364 mm effective length. Smoke column in the cell is
measured by means of an optical system, where a green LED is used as a light source, which emits visible light
of 560 nm. GaAs photodiode is used as a detector, which is heated minimally to 30 C. For stability and
accuracy purposes, the measuring cell is also heated to 75 C.
The free acceleration method is a smokiness test, when engine changes its speed from idle to over speed with
accelerator at full-throttle, and the engine is loaded by its own inertial mass and by clutch and gears at geared
neutral.
During free engine acceleration (caused by setting of its accelerator from position idle speed to position fullthrottle) the opacimeter tests opacity in the given time with sampling time interval of 20 ms. Measured samples
-1
are mathematically evaluated and the front panel display shows resulting opacity k [m ]. This procedure repeats
so many times as prescribed until measured values of smokiness fulfil the reproducibility condition. Resulting
-1
smokiness in absolute units [m ] is calculated as arithmetic mean of last valid readouts.
The instrument also calculates the acceleration time ta using the following formula:
ta = tm
where:

DIRECTIONS FOR CORRECT FUNCTION
In order to ensure correct function of the sampling unit it is necessary to observe the following directions:
1.
2.
3.
4.
The sampling unit must be fixed vertically (with its handle upwards) in the stand. It is not allowed to
use the sampling unit in other position, or without the stand, for the air and outlet holes must be
accessible.
The interconnecting cables must be connected correctly.
Check if both two fans work.
After start-up period, check if both two heater work (temperature of the measuring cells outer metal
cover should be about 10 C higher than ambient air temperature).

ENGINE SPEED MEASURING
The measurement can be done by one of the following devices:
11.1
UNIVERSAL SPEED SENSOR
The measuring is carried out by connecting a suitable cable to the battery of the vehicle. There are two options
to select from:
Connect it to the auxiliary power outlet (cigarette lighter socket)
Connect it to the vehicles battery terminals: Red terminal is + pole; Black terminal is pole
Ignition sensor
11.1.1
MEASUREMENT PRINCIPLE
The universal speed sensor performs frequency analysis of the battery voltage. The ripple waveforms added to
the DC battery voltage by the alternator allow engine speed to be computed.
11.1.2
RECOMMENDATIONS
It is advantageous not to have fully charged battery - switch the headlights on for a while before
measurement.
While the measurement is in progress try to increase the current consumption (e.g. switch headlights
and/or other electrical instruments on).
Direct connection to the battery terminals usually gives more reliable results than other points.
In case of implausible speed readings try to resynchronise the sensor by pressing the F9 key
(position 5 - Fig. 23).
11.2
MULTI-DIAG MOTORTESTER
Measurements shall be made connecting the appropriate sensor. The choice of three options
Ignition sensor
Induction sensor
Piezo Semiconductor (optical) sensor

11.3
MULTI-DIAG MINITESTER
Measurements shall be made connecting the appropriate sensor. The choice of three options
Ignition sensor
Induction sensor
Piezo Semiconductor (optical) sensor

11.4
MULTI-DIAG
The measurement is performed by reading the values from the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle. The
communication with the vehicle can be started or ended by pressing the F9 button (pos.5 - Fig. 23).
If the F9 button is:
Smoke_manual_en.doc
17
Green communication with the vehicle electronic control unit is under way
Red communication is stopped
Warning:
You should disconnect the EOBD cable when no communication with the control unit (the F9 button is red) is
present, only. Therefore, if you want to disconnect the cable from the EOBD connector quitthe communication
by pressing F9 first.
12.
OIL TEMPERATURE MEASURING
The measurement can be performed by one of the following devices:
12.1
OIL TEMPERATURE SENSOR
The proper oil temperature sensor type (with correct

length set) should be used. After removing oil dip stick,
set the thermometers rubber stop (with help of the dip
stick) so that the thermometer is about 20 mm deep
(30 mm max.) in the oil.
12.2
UNIVERSAL SPEED SENSOR
The measurement is performed by means of a thermometer probe (see oil temperature sensor).
12.3
MULTI-DIAG MOTORTESTER
12.4
MULTI-DIAG MINITESTER
12.5
MULTI-DIAG
The measurement is performed by reading the values from the electronic control unit (ECU) of the vehicle.
13.
LINEARITY TEST AND CALIBRATION
As soon as the cell is heated up to the required temperature, the linearity test and calibration will be carried out
before the test is started, the probe shall be removed from the exhaust. If the probe is not removed from
the exhaust, the calibration may be carried out incorrectly and error will be displayed.
Smoke_manual_en.doc
18
During this process the info box shows the

Initialization text (Pos.1)
Fig. 23 Initialization (calibration + linearity test)
Then the program is automatically switched over to the Current Opacity Mode, see Chap. 15.1 in which the
current values are measured.
Note:
Within the first 15 seconds or so after the initialization is completed, the speed and temperature values may be
scored out (----) because of the initial synchronization of the Speed Sensor. Then the speed and temperature
values shall appear.

EMISSION TEST OPACIMETER CALIBRATION
Step 4
A check that the probe is not in the exhaust is

performed before zeroing.
When the device detects smoke a message is issued
(see Fig. 33) and the user should remove the probe
and press the Enter button to continue.
Fig. 32 Emission test - opacimeter calibration
Warning:
It may happen that opacimeter will detect the probe
in exhaust pipe while this is not true. This may be
caused by the opacity fluctuations due to dirtiness
and device zeroing should fix the difference.
Note:
In the event that the probe is removed from the
exhaust and still is performed calibration, the
measured value will be wrong
Fig. 33 Calibration can not continue because of the probe in

the exhaust
Step 5
If the calibration is carried out correctly, insert the

probe into the exhaust again. Press Enter.
Note:
If the calibration is not successful for any reason (e.g.
excessive dirtiness of the unit), the fault is signalled
and the emission test is terminated. The application
should be switched off and the problem fixed (e.g.
cleaning the unit).
The calibration can be repeated with pressing the
Repeat button.

automatically continues with the next step of the
emission test after 3 seconds
Fig. 35 Engine temperature test - satisfactory
Note:
If you want to continue with the emission test, it is
necessary to fulfill the condition of the minimum
engine temperature. If the engine is still cold (see Fig.

pressing the ESC button.
Fig. 38 Idle speed measurement
Fig. 39 This message shows that the result of the idle speed test is unsatisfactory
15.3.7
EMISSION TEST SPEED OF REGULATION MEASUREMENT
This step of the emission test serves for measuring the real speed of regulation. The speed of regulation is the
speed in the moment when the increase of the engine speed is reduced by the control unit or mechanically.
Therefore if the limiter mechanism functions, this is the maximum speed at full throttle.
Step 9
Slowly accelerate to reach the speed of regulation

(by the Pos.3 - Fig. 28.
The speed shall not increase any more. Watch the
speed in the speed box.
Note:
As soon as the maximum speed is reached and
revolution are stabilized the program automatically
continues with the step of the emission test.

the acceleration test
Note 2:
If the speed of regulation is exceeded by 5%
above the measured speed during the
acceleration, it is also indicated as an error (in this
case there is a possibility of non-functioning speed
limiter and therefore there is a risk of engine
damage if you continue with the test).
The test is interrupted with a negative result.

PROBES AND SENSORS
23.1
SAMPLING PROBES
Various variants of sampling probes are supplied to Opacimeter. For measuring on tractors, the probe of U
shape is determined. Sampling probe 10 mm is determined for the vehicle with exhaust pipe to diameter 70
mm. Sampling probe 27 mm is determined for the vehicle with exhaust pipe over diameter 70 mm. The
vehicle producer can change this regulation in the diameter range 60 80 mm.
Probes are connected to the outlet opening of the sampling unit. Probe terminal, designed for being inserted
into the car exhaust, shall be during measuring placed in the exhaust pipeline in the distance that is equal to at
least diameter of the exhaust.
Correct placing of the probe in the car exhaust is shown in Fig. 61. Probe can be fixed to the exhaust using
fixing tongs.

23.2
OIL TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The proper oil temperature sensor type (with correct

length set) should be used. After removing oil dip stick,
set the thermometers rubber stop (with help of the dip
stick) so that the thermometer is about 20 mm deep
(30 mm max.) in the oil.
24.
RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE
The Opacimeter instrument is designed so that it needs almost no maintenance. However, some components of
the sampling units optical assembly do require regular maintenance. It is recommended to check visually
cleanness of optical lens one time per month, and, using soft moistened cloth, remove possible stuck soot. It is
prohibited to use any cleaning liquids!
Possible soot deposit inside the measuring cell caused by measuring of smokiness before sufficient heating of
the cell can be removed by means of the nylon brush, which is a part of instruments standard equipment. Prior
to cleaning, it is necessary to disconnect the sampling unit from the mains supply.
