1 GENERAL
The smokemeter OPA-105 is an instrument for the measure of light absorption of diesel
engine exhaust fumes.
Before use read carefully this manual and follow the instructions to carry out any kind of
measure and in particular for the maintenance operations.
Open the equipment only for operation where it is clearly requested after having switched
it off, close the instrument and put it in the original configuration before switch on again, in
particular be sure the cover has been locked with the screws.
Pay attention to the correct tubes connection, avoid breathing fumes and make sure they
can be dispersed in an open ambient.
The manufacturer decline every responsibility in case of an incorrect use or a use not
expressly specified in this manual; the responsibility is anyhow limited to the equipment’s
repair operation with the exclusion of any other direct or indirect damage.
For more information please read the chapter “Warranty condition”.
For technical support or spare parts requests contact Assemblad Technical Support
The smokemeter performs measure of exhaust fumes with a partial flow; the measure
bench cell is a “reflection” type.
The equipment are built according to the norms set by the Italian Ministry of Transport and
from which they are all approved and are to be considered in principle Complies with EEC
72/306, Italian regulation 24 and ISO 11614.
The smokemeter is approved for the communication protocol defined by the technical
specifications MCTCNET version 2.10 dated 24/09/2015 and subsequent integrations.

2.6 THE SMOKE METER PROBE
The smoke meter probe is composed with the follow parts:
1 - Terminal probe for exhaust pipe connection
2 - Grip
3 – Extension probe 60 cm
4 – Extension probe 100 cm
The terminal probe (1) must be inserted in the exhaust pipe of the diesel vehicle, in the
final side there is a spring to avoid a position near the side of exhaust pipe.
In the other side there is a junction to be connected to the smoke meter.
It is possible prolong the terminal probe with 1 or 2 extension probes (3) (4), the smoke
meter is homologated for the use with all the extensions supplied.
The grip (2) is useful to avoid to touch hot and dirty parts, moreover the tongs can be used
to close the terminal probe with the exhaust pipe.

4 INSTALLATION AND TRANSPORTATION
Installation is easy and can be performed by the user or, if required, by Assemblad
authorized personnel.
Due to the small dimensions of the equipment, transportation can be done by hand; pay
attention to avoid crashes or falls, damages caused for these reasons are not covered by
warranty.
4.1 CONNECTIONS
The smokemeter works with a nominal 12 Vcc power supply. Use the power supply cable
to connect it to a battery, or use the external supply to connect it to the power network; a
cable with a “cigarette-lighter” plug can be requested as an optional.
If the instrument has a battery, connect this one to the charger, pay attention to don’t
discharge completely the battery.
Connect the smokemeter to the serial port of a personal computer using the RS232 input,
the connection can be replaced with the Bluetooth link, in this case connect the Bluetooth
interface to the smokemeter serial port and the Bluetooth key to the PC.
Connect the probe terminal to the smokemeter joint using one or two extension pipes.
Press the lateral power button to switch on the instrument and verify that the led come on.
4.2 OPERATIONS TO AVOID
Do not bend or stress excessively the fume input tube and avoid any kind of cracks.
Do not leave the instrument directly exposed to the sun light or under the rain.
Do not put the smokemeter over dusty and dirty surfaces or over whatever material can be
suctioned by the lower fans.
Avoid crushes, unstable positions, vibrations and falls.
Do not pull probes or connection cables to avoid instrument falls.
Leave the smokemeter in a dry ambient and, if it possible, at a normal ambient
temperature.
Keep the reference optical filter in the original package and do not get it dirty.
