MS005
Test bench for diagnostics of alternators and starters
The MS005 test bench is designed for fast and accurate diagnostics of alternators and starters for passenger and commercial vehicles. The test bench features high power, which, combined with its electronic control system, enables the diagnostics of a wide range of components. Thanks to the alternator database, the presence of an automatic diagnostic mode, and the ability to use special cables, the time spent on testing components is reduced.
Manufacturer:
MSG Equipment
MS005 is a modern test bench for comprehensive testing of automotive alternators and starters, providing accurate diagnostics and ease of operation.
Diagnostic capabilities:
• Alternators 12 V and 24 V with any type of connection.
• Stop-Start system alternators (12 V) – with the ability to diagnose in both alternator and starter modes.
• I-ELOOP alternators (Mazda).
• Starters up to 11 kW (12 V and 24 V) in no-load mode.
Advantages and features:
• Oscillograms of measured parameters – real-time graphical display of current and voltage.
• Two testing modes: manual and automatic for alternators and starters.
• Alternator diagnostic reports – after an automatic test, the test bench generates a report that can be saved and printed. The report form can be customized.
• User-defined algorithms for alternator autotests – the test bench allows using custom algorithms (scripts) for alternator testing.
• Alternator database with connection diagrams – speeds up and simplifies diagnostics.
• Thermal imaging camera – monitoring the unit’s temperature and detecting local overheating.
• 12" touchscreen display – convenient and clear control.
• Multilingual interface – user-friendly operation.
• Easy fixation of the unit on the test bench.
• Possibility of using special cables. These cables have connectors matching the alternator connector, ensuring quick, correct, and safe connection (purchased separately).
• Free automatic software updates – always up-to-date functionality.
