CPS MOTORVAC Cool Smoke MP User manual
INTRODUCTION
Congratulations! You are in possession of the most advanced and powerful
(yet simple to operate) multi-pressure diagnostic leak test machine available.
Our patented MotorVac® Cool Smoke® “no heat” technology creates a high
volume, smoke-like vapor eliminating the need for high temperature glow plugs
or resistance coils. The Cool Smoke® MP was specifically developed to OEM
specifications for diagnosing leaks in high pressure air systems such as turbo
chargers and charge air coolers. The Cool Smoke® MP can be used to not only
determine if there is a leak in a system and pinpoint its location, it can also
determine the actual size of the leak allowing the technician to decide whether
a repair is necessary.
The MotorVac® Cool Smoke® MP uses advanced dynamically controlled pneumatics
and microprocessor technology to determine the actual leak size throughout the
entire operational pressure range. The Cool Smoke® fluid will deposit ultraviolet
(UV) dye at the location of small leaks where it would be difficult to see smoke.
The MotorVac® Cool Smoke® MP comes with both a powerful UV light to easily
locate the UV dye deposits at leak points, as well as a powerful white light to
locate the smoke at visible leak points.
The MotorVac® Cool Smoke® Fluid is a unique solution that allows for highly visible
vapor (smoke) to carry UV dye to leak points. The UV dye will be deposited at small
leak locations where the smoke is forced out during a test. Your MotorVac Cool
Smoke MP can perform smoke or leak tests between 3-60 psi (0.2-4.1 bar) while in
MP mode and 0.5 psi (0.03 bar) while in EVAP mode. The MotorVac® Cool Smoke MP
comes prefilled with a charge of Cool Smoke® Fluid and is refillable by the end- user
when the smoke-producing solution is depleted. The smoke it produces, as well
as the UV dye, is non-toxic, solvent free and noncorrosive. The MotorVac® Cool
Smoke® MP needs no assembly and requires no maintenance.
Your MotorVac® Cool Smoke® automatically sets the critical pressure that must
be maintained during EVAP testing. You don’t need to set flow rates and you don’t
need to be concerned with ambient temperatures or barometric pressures. The
MotorVac Cool Smoke® is refillable by the end-user when the smoke-producing fluid
is depleted.
Please review this User Guide to become familiar with the Cool Smoke® MP and
all its features. Thank you for choosing the MotorVac® Cool Smoke® MP.

SAFETY INFORMATION & PRECAUTIONS
To prevent personal injury and / or damage to vehicle or equipment:
• Many automotive manufacturers require the use of nitrogen to be used while
testing the EVAP system. This is because a high heat source or spark could
ignite fuel vapors mixed with air. The Cool Smoke® does not use potentially
hazardous high temperature glow plugs or resistance coils to create smoke.
However, nitrogen should be used to reduce the ignition risk if other potential
ignition sources are nearby. The Cool Smoke can perform its functions using
clean and dry conventional shop air.
• Use this equipment in the manner specified by the manufacturer.
• Understand operating procedures and all safety precautions.
• Correctly connect power supply to battery and chassis ground.
• Use only Cool Smoke® Fluid in the Cool Smoke® MP. Altering the fluid, hoses,
cables, or any other replacement parts will void the warranty; may cause
machine malfunction; may cause damage to the vehicle, to property or may
cause personal injury.
• To view the dye deposit, use the included UV Light and UV enhancing safety
goggles.
• Do not use when vehicle engine is running.
• The 12V DC battery source you use to power the machine must be in good
condition and fully charged.
• Machine input pressure must be 90—150 psi (6.2—10.3 bar). Operate the machine
in an upright position.
TIP: Whenever possible allow the system to vent as far away from where the smoke
is being introduced. This will purge the air and quickly fill the system with smoke.
Once the system is filled with smoke, close the vent, and allow the system to be
pressurized.
TIP: When testing an engine’s intake or exhaust system for leaks, it is recommended
that the engine be cold. Small leaks may be sealed due to thermal expansion
WARNING: Do not overfill unit.
CAUTION: Gloves and safety goggles
must be worn at all times by users and
bystanders when performing this service.
