The Rotrix TSH-50016 is a specially designed diagnostic cable set engineered for seamless integration with the Rotrix TSH-016 tester. This set enables thorough and precise examination of vehicle starter motors, whether testing is performed on the vehicle or on a test bench. The diagnostic cable allows for real-time measurement and logging of critical parameters, which is essential for the quick and efficient diagnosis of starting problems.
This professional tool helps distinguish the source of the fault, which may be the starter motor itself, the associated wiring, or the battery condition. Through the graphical presentation of measured data, specialists can also visually analyze performance and any deviations.
The purpose of the TSH-50016 cable set is to utilize the full potential of the TSH-016 tester to provide reliable diagnostic data on starter motor performance.
Real-Time Diagnostics: Enables measurement of the most important electrical parameters during starter motor operation.
Fault Source Identification: Based on the measured data, it can be clearly determined whether the starting problem originates from the starter motor, the supply wiring, or a lack of battery capacity.
Graphical Data Display: All measured parameters are displayed in graph format on the TSH-016 tester, allowing for excellent visual analysis.
Versatile Application: Usable for testing both starter motors installed in the vehicle and units tested on test benches.
The Rotrix TSH-50016 cable set is used to measure the following critical parameters that are essential for checking the proper functioning of the starter motor:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Starter Motor Current Draw | Measurement of the maximum and average current drawn during the test. |
| Battery Voltage | Monitoring the system voltage level during the starting process. |
| Voltage Between Terminals | Measurement of the voltage drop between the 30 (input) and 45 (control) terminals. |
This accessory has been specifically optimized for use with the following Rotrix tester:
Main Category: Test equipment (Test equipment)
Brand: Rotrix
Subcategory: Testers and tools
In modern vehicles, the starting process is more complex than before, especially due to Start/Stop systems and increased electrical loads. Starter motors must endure significant strain while batteries must constantly ensure stable voltage.
The TSH-50016 cable set enables professionals to determine not only whether the vehicle starts, but also why it does not start if there is a problem.
Starter Current: Excessively high current draw may indicate mechanical resistance in the starter motor (e.g., worn bushings, jammed gear), while excessively low values may indicate a weak magnetic field or an internal short circuit.
Battery Voltage: A significant voltage drop (voltage „sag”) experienced during the starting process clearly indicates insufficient battery capacity or increased resistance in the main power cabling.
Voltage between Terminals 30 and 45: This measurement is critical for checking the integrity of the control circuit. Low voltage reaching terminal 45 points to a fault in the ignition switch, safety relays, or control wires, which prevents the starter motor from engaging properly.
The graphical display assists in analyzing dynamic processes. For example, if the current draw spikes suddenly and then immediately drops, this often indicates improper gear engagement. Conversely, a stable current draw that remains below specifications signals internal wear or weakening of the starter motor.
This Rotrix accessory is an essential tool for any workshop aiming to perform high-level and precise starter motor diagnostics, ensuring fast and accurate repair decisions.
