PICO Diesel Engine and Hydraulics Diagnostic Kit (PQ117)

The Pico Engine and Hydraulics Kit combines Pico Technology’s Diesel Diagnostics Kit with two WPS600C dual-range Hydraulic Pressure Transducers, to help accurately and quickly diagnose faults on various types of mobile machinery. PicoScope is already the preferred diagnostic tool choice by many vehicle and equipment manufacturers because it offers a unique combination of value, reliability, performance, and diagnosis guidance. 

With this PicoScope kit, technicians can now look at hydraulic pressures in the same time frame as the engine control signals.  This gives complete operational visibility of a system being observed:  see the exact moment valves start to move in the hydraulic system and compare this directly to the relevant electronic controls; investigate stalling and 'no start' conditions due to the comprehensive coverage of engine and electrical systems.

PicoScope gives direct access to over 150 built-in guided tests covering engine and electrical sensors, actuators and systems. These include both voltage and current measurements and covers camshaft, crankshaft, oxygen sensors, injectors and many more. These tests simplify diagnosing and fixing engine faults correctly, and first time; when combined with the hydraulic system observations, this allows efficient diagnosis of complex interactions in hydraulic and engine systems.

WPS600C Pressure Transducer

This transducer offers high accuracy and a wide measuring range, and connects to a PicoScope for the analysis and diagnosis of pressurized systems. Note that it is not designed for continuous operation.

• Accurately measure up to 600 bar (8700 psi)
• Ultra-fast 100 microsecond response time (0% to 90% of full scale)
• Internal rechargeable LiPo battery
• Industry-standard M16 x 2 test point connector
• Auto zeroing
• High noise immunity
• Temperature compensated

Due to the wide range of hydraulic fittings in use, Pico does not supply any specific adaptors or hoses for use with this product.  Note that those provided with the low pressure WPS500X are not suitable for use with the higher pressure hydraulic systems.

We recommend contacting your regular hydraulic hose supplier for any additional fittings or custom hose assemblies required to suit your specific system.

Pressure ranges

Two pressure ranges for increased versatility

The two pressure ranges of the WPS600C allow accurate measurement and diagnosis of permanent and non-permanent automotive and industrial hydraulic systems.

Range 1

The first range, 0 to 600 bar (approximately 8700 psi) gives you high resolution and accuracy for high-pressure tests in hydraulic systems.

Range 2

The second range measures from 0 to 60 bar (approximately 870 psi). This range is ideal for low-pressure hydraulic systems and oil pumps.

Typical Uses

The Engine and hydraulics kit is designed for you to be able to diagnose problems on your equipment, relating to either engine or hydraulics. Allowing pressures up to 600 bar to be monitored against time enables the technician to connect the WPS600C to the relevant hydraulic test port, then view activity and transitions in hydraulic pressure that were never previously visible with conventional gauges.
