INSTRUCTIONS FOR

TIMING LIGHT DIESEL CONVERTER BOX

MODEL NO: TL95

Thank you for purchasing a Sealey product. Manufactured to a high standard, this product will, if used according to these instructions,

and properly maintained, give you years of trouble free performance.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY. NOTE THE SAFE OPERATIONAL REQUIREMENTS, WARNINGS & CAUTIONS. USE

THE PRODUCT CORRECTLY AND WITH CARE FOR THE PURPOSE FOR WHICH IT IS INTENDED. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY CAUSE DAMAGE AND/OR

PERSONAL INJURY AND WILL INVALIDATE THE WARRANTY. KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS SAFE FOR FUTURE USE.

1. SAFETY

▲DANGER! - BE AWARE, LEAD-ACID BATTERIES GENERATE EXPLOSIVE GASES DURING NORMAL BATTERY OPERATION.

FOR THIS REASON IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ AND FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY, EACH TIME YOU USE THE

CONVERTER BOX AND ASSOCIATED EqUIPMENT Follow these instructions and those published by the battery manufacturer and

the maker of any equipment you intend to use in the vicinity of the battery. Remember to review warning marks on all products and on

engines.

1.1. PERSONAL PRECAUTIONS

9Ensure there is another person within hearing range and close enough to come to your aid should a problem arise when working near

a lead-acid battery.

9Wear safety eye protection and protective clothing. Avoid touching eyes while working near battery.

9Have fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts skin, clothing, or eyes.

9 Washimmediatelywithsoapandwaterifbatteryacidcontactsskinorclothing.Ifacidenterseye,usheyeimmediatelywithcool,

clean running water for at least 15 minutes and seek immediate medical attention.

9Remove personal metallic items such as rings, bracelets, necklaces and watches. A lead-acid battery can produce a short circuit

current high enough to weld a ring or the like to metal and may cause severe burns.

9Ensure hands, clothing (especially belts) are clear of fan blades and other moving or hot parts of engine, remove ties and contain

long hair.

8DO NOT smokeorallowaspark,orame,inthevicinityofbattery,engineorfuelinjectionpump.

9 Rememberthatwhenusedinconjunctionwithatiminglight,theashingfromthelightcan‘freeze’rotatingcomponents.

DO NOT be tempted to touch an apparently stationary component which is, in fact, rotating.

WARNING! When ignition is on DO NOT touch any ignition components - very high voltages are present.

1.2. GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING! When running an engine in an enclosed space ensure adequate ventilation or ducted exhaust. Exhaust gases kill.

9Keep children and unauthorised persons away from the working area.

9Ensure vehicle transmission is in ‘Neutral’ (manual) or ‘Park’ (automatic) and the parking brake is applied.

9Ensure the ignition is switched off before attaching the power clamps to the battery.

9Keep tools and other items away from the engine and ensure that you can see the battery and working parts of engine clearly.

9If the battery terminals are corroded or dirty, clean them before attaching any clamps.

WARNING! DO NOT allow metal tools or equipment to accidentally touch battery terminals since this may produce sparks or a short

circuit resulting in an explosion.

8DO NOT cross-connect leads from the converter box to the battery. Ensure positive (+) (RED) is to positive and negative (-) BLACK

is to negative. If the battery symbols cannot be distinguished, the negative terminal is normally the one directly connected to the

vehicle bodywork (check vehicle hand-book).

8DO NOT allow inductive pick-up, or leads, to contact exhaust or other engine parts as the heat will cause damage.

8DO NOT pull the cable or clamps from the battery terminals.

8DO NOT use the converter box in damp, or wet locations.

8DO NOToperatewithinthevicinityofammableliquidsorgases.

5. SET UP & OPERATIONt

5.1.  Youmustuseamonitoringdevicesuchasatiminglight,engineanalyser

 ormultimeterinconjunctionwiththedieselconverterboxinordertobeable

to read RPM on the device’s display. The most common use for this

information will be for setting a constant engine speed for diesel engine

smoke testing. Remember to set up your monitoring device for the correct

number of cylinders.

5.2. Ensure that the vehicle ignition is off. Locate the fuel pipes connecting the

 pumptothefuelinjectors.ForenginetimingpurposesthePiezoClamp

should be attached to the pipe going to the No.1 cylinder.

5.3.  FixthePiezoClamp(5)ontoastraightsectionoftheInjectorfuelpipefor

the No.1 cylinder as close to the pump as possible in order to get the

strongest reading. The Piezo Clamp and fuel pipe should be clean and dry.

Make sure that the Piezo Clamp is in full contact with the fuel pipe but

DO NOT overtighten as this could cause damage to the sensor within the clamp.

5.4.  TaketheSensorLeadandconnecttheYELLOWclip(8)tooneofthe

 adjustablefixingsontheclampandtheBLACKclip(7)tothesameInjector

fuel pipe to which the clamp is connected.

WARNING! Ensure that the Black Sensor clip DOES NOT touch any of the

Glow Plugs and associated mountings or wiring as this may cause a short

circuit which could disable engine operation and may damage any connected

monitoring device.

5.5. Take the Power Lead and connect the RED clamp (2) to the positive side of the vehicle battery and the BLACK clamp (1) to

the negative of the battery. Note: The monitoring device used i.e. A Timing Light, Engine Analyzer or Digital Multimeter may also

be powered from the vehicle’s battery.

5.6. Attach the inductive pickup from your chosen monitoring device e.g. a timing light, onto the Pickup Loop (3) on the converter box. If the

timing light inductive pickup has an arrow mark, ensure that the mark is face up when attached to the Pickup Loop.

5.7. Start the engine and allow it to reach operating temperature, then read the results from the timing light. The Indicator Light on the

 converterbox(4)shouldflashconsistently.Iftheindicatorlightdoesnotflash,checkalltheconnectionsorrelocatethePiezo 

 Clamptoanothersectionofthefuelpipe.Note:Lowvehiclebattery,defectiveInjectorPump,orlackoffuelmaypreventtheIndicator

Light from flashing.
