Safety precautions and warnings
Read this instruction manual rst and then use the device. Make sure you’re
aware of the instruction manual information. The Manufacturer isn’t responsible for
accidents involving injuries, except equipment manufacturing defects.

QUANTEX GmbH 2014
Poisoning
Test an operative vehicle in a well ventilated work area. The engines
vent the carbon oxide, it’s an odourless toxic gas with slow reaction
time that can result in a serious injury or death.
Personal injury
Link on the hand break before using the device. Use break shoes
for front drive vehicles, as the hand break doesn’t block major front
wheels.
Test during driving
Don’t test the car while driving. Carelessness may lead to a fatality.
One person must do the test while another one is driving the vehicle.
Don’t place a laptop or a tablet PC ahead when driving a car. The
laptop may cause an injury to you if a safety bag comes into ac-
tion. Don’t scan safety bag system SRS while driving the car, as the
safety bag may operate unintentionally.
Electrical elements
Always cut the ignition off by connection and disconnection of elec-
trical elements, if there aren’t any other special instructions.
Battery energy storage (BES)
Don’t put a device on the BES of a vehicle. It can short the BES ter-
minals out, that may result in a personal injury as well as device and
the battery fault.

The device is switched off.
The PC is connected to Wi-Fi.
The data interchange is in process.
When it is on:
Integral hardware- based test is run. The red indicator
should go off in a while after it’s been switched on.
• If the indicator is dull, then there are not any pro-
grams in the adapter or the program is corrupted. To
restore it, one should activate the device.
• If the indicator ashes on and off and doesn’t go off,
then the unit is out of service. Contact your seller.

ScanDoc program description
Program settings
The section Options contains 3 subsections, connected to the device operation
and program settings.
System
This tab is for the program system settings. It contains the basic information on
the scanner connected (the serial number, type, IP-address, database version, etc.),
and can update its rmware, run the connection test, view the log-les folder and
activate the device.
Database version:
Make sure you use the latest database version. New program version can be al-
ways downloaded from the corresponding section at our site: www.quantexlab.com
Serial number:

11
QUANTEX GmbH 2014
The serial number of the device is read. This number is used by dealers request-
ing when buying the new brands.
Select the button Read to read the device serial number. The program will also
read and show the adapter type.
Beta-test
It’s used by beta-testers. Brands and units are discovered, which haven’t been
fully tested yet. Errors can occur in these units.
Device operation
Connection test
The test checks if the device connected or not and its quality. When one presses
the button, 2 types of tests are run.
• Ping-test checks if the device can be connected or not.
• Complete packages test sends the maximum length package and controls the
surge protector and Ethernet controller properties.
IP-address change
It can assign a device an IP- address.
An IP-address in a device or in a program is not necessary to be changed as a
rule. If there is a plant LAN, where IP-addresses have been already assigned, it’s
necessary to do it. Buttons for an IP-address change are shown by selecting the fol-
lowing keys: Ctrl+Alt+Y.
Beware! An expert is the only person to change the IP-address in the
device.

12
QUANTEX GmbH 2014
Log-les Folder
It opens the folder containing log-les.
Read
The device serial number, its type and list of open brands are read. Information on
opened brands is saved to the device by activation.
Access Level
This is the level, giving additional opportunities when working with a brand (only
the rst basic level is being currently supported).
Color
In the tab Color one can change the text and diagrams colors displayed by the
program.
Averaging
The averaging mode engaging adds to the datastream diagram the averaged
data. These data are displayed both in the digitalized and graphical forms. The aver-
age is calculated from operation start to the current moment.
The above sections are always accessible in the ScanDoc program interface
whether the scanner is connected to the car or not. The rest program sections are
displayed when the scanner is switched on and the connection to the car is made.

13
QUANTEX GmbH 2014
Main menu
To start the work, one should select the car and the system to work with. All the
car brands are divided into regions (Europe, Americas, Asia, etc.). Please, double
click the left mouse button on the icon and choose the option you need, for exam-
ple, the car brand or the car model.
The right eld of the “Menu” section contains information on car brands which
have been activated, the left one contains the activation time and more detailed
data on the car selected.
After the car model is selected, one can either search for units automatically or
choose necessary ECU (Electronic Control Unit) manually.
Identication
After the connection to Electronic Control Unit (ECU) is made, the program will
display the ECU identity. These data are necessary to determine the software and
hardware versions, control units calibration versions. The identity data contain ad-
ditional information, necessary to test this control unit correctly.

14
QUANTEX GmbH 2014
It may take from 0,5 to 15 seconds to get an ECU started depending on the Elec-
tronic Control Unit type or the diagnostic protocol. Some ECU-s need more time. It
can happen because of both diagnostic protocol features or the car conguration
reading by the scanner.
Beware! The program controls software versions within ECU and iden-
tities. If the program nds an unknown identity, the message will be
displayed. Further operation is then not possible or limited as a rule. In
some cases a user can continue operating being fully responsible for
the risks.
Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC)
The tab “Codes” displays the error codes (DTC), which have been saved to the
Electronic Control Unit.

15
QUANTEX GmbH 2014
Code and error name
The scanner reads out the error code and decodes it. An error can have number-
ing assigned by the manufacturer or by the OBD-II standard. The OBD-II standard
also admits codes, assigned by a manufacturer. These codes start from the number
P1000.
Errors in accordance with OBD-II standard:
Symbols Description
P
P - Powertrain.
B - Body.
C - Chassis.
U - Communication.
00 - Codes are assigned by the OBD-II standard.
1 - Codes are assigned by the manufacturer.
1System or car component code.
1Error code.
2Error code.
Some manufacturer’s standards involve the error digital value.

16
QUANTEX GmbH 2014
Errors statuses
Most ECU-s can display current error status besides the error saving. Statuses
show additional information on the code. For example, the code is active or it has
been active but it’s currently not having the code.
Saved data when there are errors (Freeze frame)
Some units support the Freeze frame mode. When an error appears, information
on denite settings is saved to the control unit memory. This enables to determine
conditions under which the error appears. Freeze frame is saved for each error
separately.
To get the information, use left mouse button and select the error’s name. Freeze
frame will be displayed for selected error.
Some ECU-s can show several Freeze frames for one error code.
Data before, during and after DTC (Diagnostic trouble code) appeared are usually
saved.

Additional Information
If the error code doesn’t have any descriptions, please, contact support or consult
the dealer to nd the car repair information.
If there is an error additional description in the database, an icon with the question
mark will appear before the number of this error. Use left mouse button to select this
icon and you will see a window with the additional information.
