Motoplat puts power in technician’s hands
POS Service Holland has announced
the arrival of two innovative, handheld
alternator testers from Motoplat.
The Motoplat VC-series starts with
the VC-11R “on-car” alternator tester.
After connecting the VC-11R to the
alternator, the tester automatically starts
to identify the control system, allowing
technician’s to start testing the alternator,
as well as receive the commands from and to - the car’s ECU and wiring harness.
This handheld on-car alternator tester
tests all modern computer controlled
alternators, even those with start/stop
technology. “Modern” alternators can’t be
diagnosed with a regular voltage meter.
The VC-11R can diagnose an alternator
that is communicating with the ECU of the
car. The tester is a portable, easy to use
device, perfect for workshops, diagnostic
stations, authorised service stations and
rebuilders.
diagnostic stations, authorised service
stations and rebuilders.
The VC-11R is the world’s only tester
that allows you to read the commands
demanded by the ECU
and also send commands
to the regulator.
It allows technicians to diagnose an
alternator that is computer controlled,
the difference with the VC-11R is that
the VC-15W works with all conventional
test benches.
The ECU communication systems
found in all cars made since 2002 are
either LIN (Local Interconnect Network)
or BSS (Bit Synchronous Single-wire).
Earlier Ford and GM models used PWM
(Pulse Width Modulation) systems – all
of which can be handled by Motopart’s
VC Series.
Also the later RLO protocol, C protocol
(all 3 types), PD-connection… All 4th
generation alternators will b e able to
be test!
Meanwhile, the
VC-15W alternator
tester is also a portable and
easy to use device, used by car garages,
