ground with handbrake applied and
gear lever in neutral or park position.
Turbocharged engines should be
allowed to idle for 10 to 15 seconds
before switching o to ensure
maximum turbocharger life.
It is recommended that prior to carrying
out the M.0.T. test, the engine speed
governor is checked as follows:
Fit the engine speed adapter (see
section 'Engine Speed Adapters' in the
Hardware Operators Manual). SLOWLY
raise the engine speed and check that
the engine manufacturer's maximum
speed cannot be exceeded.

TACHOMETER SETUP
1. CDSS4/6: Ensure engine is o. BEWARE
ROTATING PARTS. Set the correct number of
cylinders on the screen as prompted and attach
the CDSS4/6 clips to the battery noting the
correct polarity. Start the engine and allow to idle.
Check that the engine has reached operating
temperature. Ensure all other accessories, internal
blower, screen heater etc. are o but turn on the
vehicle headlights. Allow the engine to idle while
the CDSS4/6 initialises, approximately 17 seconds.
When complete the unit will read engine speed
on the bar graph.
SMOKE MEASUREMENT
1. Sit in the vehicle sothat the screen is visible
and prepare to open the throttle.
2. 'Blip' the throttle briey and then allow the
engine to idle for 10 seconds. A
countdown will be displayed during this period.
3. (If you are using the optional remote Indicator
Handset you can initiate the procedure
using the handset control instead of 'blipping'
the engine).
NOTE:
If you have a Bluetooth VCI congured,
it will be an available option for reading
RPM. Choose ‘EOBD Interface’ and
follow on-screen instructions.
NOTE:
Not every vehicle supplied with a 16-pin
EOBD connector supports EOBD. This
applies to petrol and diesel vehicles.
Communication will not be possible for
vehicles which use unsupported
protocols.

4. When instructed fully depress the accelerator
pedal and hold.
5. Release the accelerator pedal immediately
when instructed and wait.
6. The result of that free acceleration will be
displayed and the engine allowed to idle for
10 seconds.
7. The MOT procedure allows a 'fast pass', the
limit is dependent on the category of the vehicle.
If the vehicle emissions are below this limit on the
rst free acceleration, the vehicle will be
considered to be a pass and the test will end.
However this feature will be disabled if RPC
test is selected (Cat B Vehicles only). If the vehicle
emissions are above the limit, further free
accelerations will be prompted up to a maximum
of six. The program will then perform
another zero/span check to ensure that the optics
of the smokehead have not become
contaminated causing inaccurate readings. If the
Zero/Span check has passed, the results
will then be displayed and a printout may be
obtained.
TEST RESULTS PAGE
Click on the printer icon to obtain a printout.
A failure will result in the option of a re-test.
If the test vehicle was dened on the DVSA MTS
on-line service, you will have the option to
publish the results to the service after the test
results view is closed.
NOTE:
During the zero check, if the drift is
positive but less than the allowed limit
of +0.1m-1 or 5% of arithmetic mean
(whichever is greater), it is simply
subtracted from the calculated mean. If
the drift is above the limit, the results
are void and will not be displayed or
printed. The optics should be cleaned
and a retest carried out.
Manual CCP800/CSP800 Emissions Tester
13
Conrmation of the publishing will be displayed.
4. LIVE READINGS
To enter Live Readings, select the following icon:
This selects a continuous 'live' and peak
readings mode enabling a single free
acceleration to be carried out.
The unit will perform a zero/span check and then
display the live readings screen. A printout of the
readings is also available.
Force a zero/span if necessary
Resets the peak value
PRINT, press this to operate printer
RPM setting
TIME ADJUSTMENT
To alter the time setting, select the following icon.
This allows setting of the time only. The
date setting can only be carried out by a
UKAS accredited engineer.
The new time must be entered in 24-hour clock
format then click on PROCEED icon. To exit
without changing the time, click on EXIT icon. The
unit will automatically compensate for
daylight saving changes between summer time
and winter time.
CALIBRATION
To recalibrate the system, select the following
icon.
DVSA Calibration Checks
It is a DVSA requirement that all makes
of smokemeter used for M.O.T. testing
are calibrated at intervals specied by them.
Currently these are:
A. A check by the operator at least once a week.
Because the automatic calibration check
described below occurs every time the
Smokemeter is switched on there is no
requirement for a weekly check.
B. UKAS calibration once a year.

Manual CCP800/CSP800 Emissions Tester
14
A manual calibration check must be carried out
by an approved technician; please contact the
manufacturer for this service.
AUTOMATIC CALIBRATION CHECK
(ELECTRONIC METHOD)
The Smokemeter takes its smoke readings on a
percentage scale; 0% denotes clean air (i.e.
no smoke at all), and 100% denotes total
obscuration of the light beam (i.e. totally black
smoke). These two values are set automatically;
the rst by having the light beam in clean air,
and the second by switching the beam o so that
the sensor sees no light at all.
A calibration check at a light level of 37.5% is
then performed (equivalent to k = 1.88m-1).
No optical lters are used for this check; the light
level is electronically generated by special
circuitry (patented).
It is necessary for the calibration to be checked
regularly since the 0% point (full light through
chamber) can be aected by any soot which may
land on the lenses during use. For this reason, the
Smokemeter automatically performs a zero/span
check at the start of each test or at any time that
the Calibrate icon is selected.
The tolerance on the 'mid point' calibration check
is 35.9% to 39.0% (equivalent to k = 1.88 ± 0.1
m-1). If it fails outside this limit, a warning is
displayed and the 'MOT' test modes will be
disabled. If this situation occurs - contact the
manufacturer.
