Product description
1.1
Application and function
The DPI (Digital Pressure Indicator) is a powerful and simple-to-use

electronic indication device. It serves to analyze 2- and 4-stroke large
diesel engines in connection with the temperature compensated
pressure sensor, a specially developed measuring procedure allowing a
high level of precision of the measuring results.
An optional TDC sensor enables the display of the pressure curve in
relation to the top dead center of the crankshaft. When a fuel injection
sensor is used, the injection pressure is additionally measured. By using
a crank angle encoder (CAE) or incremental encoder, each pressure
value is measured as a function of the crankshaft angle.
While the measuring series is being recorded, the data may be read off
the LC display of the DPI hand-held unit. At the same time, the data
sets are put into memory and may be transferred to the PC via the
serial interface on completion of the measuring series. The data may be
depicted and administrated with the DPI software.
In order to connect the pressure sensor, the engine to be analyzed must
be equipped with a standard indication valve (Thompson connection). If
such a valve is not available, please contact LEUTERT.
The DPI system works independently of the mains voltage.
The system components of the DPI hand-held unit and pressure
sensor are adjusted to each other when they are delivered.
Readjustment will be necessary if the sensor unit or the DPI
hand-held unit is changed. LEUTERT will be pleased to give
advice.

Fundamental safety advice and recommendations

WARNING:
The DPI may only be employed by trained or qualified staff with
due care and observing the safety regulations for indication jobs
at large diesel engines.
Please disconnect the pressure sensor from the indication
connection on completion of the measuring series in order to
prevent any overheating.
Please take suitable safety measures before touching the pressure
sensor if it is operational as its surface may reach temperatures
of more than 250 C.
Cooling down the sensor with fluids is not permissible.
NEVER put the Pressure Sensor in the transport box when hot.
Wait until the sensor has cooled down.
Please protect the DPI hand-held unit and the charger from
moisture and observe the prescribed operating temperature (see
chapter 1.2).
Do not introduce any tools into the sensor bore.
Switch off the DPI on completion of a measuring series and
after data transfer to the PC, as the working time of the built-in
battery is limited to max. 6 hours.
When the red LED (low bat) is on, the remaining power lasts for
about 20 minutes. You should finish your measurement within
this time and recharge the battery with the AC adapter.
If the message CHARGE BATTERY appears, the remaining
capacity is insufficient to get valid measurement data.
The battery pack must be recharged at least every 9 months,
when not used.
Please ensure that the battery does not end in the domestic
waste for the sake of the environment. Please contact LEUTERT
regarding disposal.

Start of operation
5.1
Principal procedure for operating the DPI system
1) Charge battery

You should charge the battery built into the DPI as a matter of course
when the charge message appears respect. after 6 months of disuse.
2) Configure system

You should prepare the measuring system for the specific operating
conditions, so that it will provide the correct results. This includes
entry of the engine parameters and setting date and time. Enter
these settings on the DPI hand-held unit where they will be put
into memory and will still be available when the unit is switched off
and back on again.
3) Delete data memory

We recommend that you delete the data sets put into memory in
the DPI completely before starting a new measuring series. The
configuration settings are not affected by this!
4) Preset measuring settings

Use the filter or average generation function to prevent unwanted
interference of the measuring results.
5) Optional: Installing and, if applicable, adjusting the TDC
sensor, crank angle encoder (CAE), or incremental encoder

Mount the sensors on the engine in accordance with the
instructions.
6) Install pressure sensor

Install the pressure sensor at the indication bore of the diesel
engine. At the beginning of the measurement, when the sensor still
is cool, do not tighten the sensor hard to the cylinder in order to
prevent it from getting stuck.
7) Install fuel injection sensor

Install the fuel injection sensor on the appropriate mounting hole
of the respective injection pump.
8) Connect sensors at the DPI hand-held unit and record
measuring data

Connect the sensors with the DPI hand-held unit and carry out the
measuring series. The DPI stores the measuring data of a maximum
of 32 cylinders. You have the option of following the measuring
procedure on the display of the DPI and, as necessary, of reacting
to error messages with corresponding measures.
9) Display measuring data

You may view stored data sets independently of the measuring
location on the display or transfer them to a PC, in order to carry
out a machine diagnosis with the assistance of the DPI software.
12
5.2 Charge battery

Charge the battery integrated into the DPI as a matter of course before
first use, always after the red LED (low bat) illuminates or the charge
battery message is displayed and after around 6 months of not
being used. Please use solely the charger which is part of the scope of
delivery.
When put into storage the accumulator must be recharged at
least every 9 months. If the time of storage is longer than that,
you may need to charge the battery pack more than once. It is
also possible that the accumulator cannot be charged at all after
a long term storage.
You may recharge the battery how ever much residual capacity remains.
In order to avoid loss of capacity which occurs if the battery is always
charged after the same period of operation (Memory Effect), we
recommend to fully discharge the DPI from time to time.
1) Before starting the charging procedure, please ensure that the DPI
is switched off.
2) Connect the charger with the DPI hand-held unit using the plugs
3) Connect the charger to the mains voltage. The two LEDs inform
you about the charging procedure:

Green LED illuminated : The charger is connected.

Yellow LED illuminated : The charging is taking place.
Yellow LED off
: The battery is charged 100 %.
The charger switches automatically into maintenance charging

mode as soon as maximum capacity of the battery has been
reached. Charging time may be as long as 2.75 hours depending
on residual capacity.
4) When charging has been completed or after max. 10 hours,

disconnect the charger from the mains.
5) Then disconnect the DPI from the charger. Pull on the beaded area
of the plug. Keep the charger in the carrying case.

5.3 Configure system

Please configure the measuring system when using it for the first
time and when parameters have been changed. The configured
values are maintained even when the DPI hand-held unit is
switched off.
5.3.1 Set time and date

The correct value for time and date is necessary to ensure exact temporal
allocation of the results gained during indicating.
Time and date are pre-set to CET (Central European Time). Due to the
inaccuracy of 1min. per day, you should eliminate any differences
occurring. Also make this correction for changing between summer and
winter time.
The time is displayed in hours:minutes:seconds, the date is displayed in
the format Day - Month - Year.
1) Switch on the DPI hand-held unit by pressing the P button. The DPI

5.3.3 Enter engine parameters

Enter the engine parameters once for every engine when it is put into
operation for the first time, or change engine characteristic values as
necessary. Make sure the entries are correct so that the DPI will supply
you with accurate measuring results.
Starting from version 3.24, the DPI software contains a
password-protected option for locking the engine parameters
and measurement settings. If these have already been entered in
the software and transmitted to the DPI hand held unit, it is not
possible to enter or change engine parameters on the DPI handheld unit with the lock enabled. If required, contact the person
responsible for password administration.
Input of individual parameters into the DPI hand-held unit
The following work steps adapt the measuring system to the diesel
engines to be analyzed. You may enter and store the parameters of a
maximum of 9 engines in the DPI. These settings remain until replaced
by a new configuration.
Always use the correct engine number or name respectively
during indication so that the DPI can work with the pertinent
parameters.
Define the following engine data in the given ranges:
Motor number
19
Number of cylinders 124
Alpha (TDC offset) 0360.0
Boost pressure
05.0 bar
in 0.5 CA steps
in 0.1 bar steps
Allocation of an engine number serves to differentiate between various

engines on board, as necessary, and enables clear allocation of the
measuring data to the engine. The alpha value indicates the TDC offset
of the respective cylinder in relation to the TDC of cylinder no. 1. The
following example shall illustrate this to you:

5.4 Delete data memory

The DPI stores the measured values from a measuring series in the form
of data sets on the cylinder selected in each case.
If you want to record measured values beyond the 32 data sets, you
must replace data already stored, see chapter 6.2.
In order to avoid this, we recommend either completely deleting the
data memory or individually deleting the engine data before starting a
new measuring series.

5.5 Define measuring settings

Starting from version 3.24, the DPI software contains a
password-protected option for locking the engine parameters
and measurement settings. If these have already been entered in
the software and transmitted to the DPI hand-held unit, it is not
possible to enter or change the measurement settings on the
DPI hand-held unit with the lock enabled. If required, contact
the person responsible for password administration.
Make use of the DPIs ability to prevent interference affecting the
measuring results by selecting certain measuring settings. In this way
you get results that enable you to compare the measuring data of the
individual cylinders. For indication the DPI uses the pertinent currently
set measuring settings for all engines. These are stored until redefined.
Provided that you are authorized to do so, you may also define the
measurement settings in the DPI software on the PC and transmit them
to the DPI hand-held unit, see chapter 4 of the DPI software manual.
Access the menu depicted at the very bottom at the DPI to carry out the
following settings. In the meantime you are surely familiar enough with
the button operation that it is not necessary to mention every individual
single actuation of a button.
We recommend to use the values depicted in square brackets
as basic settings. Ensure identical measuring settings for later
measurements on the same engine in order to enable you to
carry out long-term investigations.
Forming an average (Averaging 0 or 1)
Activate the averaging function in order to eliminate existing fluctuations
in combustion between the working cycles from the measuring results.
If averaging is activated, the DPI will additionally store the peak pressures
(ignition pressures) within these individual cycles.

When selecting this option, i.e. averaging 1, the average is formed

from the cylinder pressures of a defined number of working cycles. The

line using buttons or for selecting the filter.
Filtering (Filter 0, 1 or 2)
Use the filter function of the DPI to suppress the occurrence of unwanted
vibration, e.g. whistling vibrations. These are interfering vibrations
covering the measuring signal which can be caused by the indicating
channel.

Choose between filter 1 or filter 2, to achieve a targeted bandlimit, i.e. smoothing of the measuring signal. Due to the strong
smoothing factor of Filter 2 it should only be used in exceptional cases.
Starting from version 3.24, the DPI software contains a filter
function. We recommend that you disable the filter function
in the DPI hand-held unit by setting it to Filter 0. This will
enable detailed, unfiltered data to be stored. You can decide
subsequently in the DPI software, based on the curve shape,
whether you wish the data to be displayed with or without filter
on the monitor.
For switching between filters 0, 1 or 2 press button P when the cursor
is in the line filter. When the required value is displayed, switch to

If no TDC sensor is connected, you must enter the value 0, otherwise
an error message will appear on the display. In order to take the TDC
signal of an installed TDC sensor into consideration, select value 1. The
functions averaging and filtering work independently of whether a TDC
sensor is activated or not.
Use button P to choose between TDC sensor 0 and 1. Then switch to
line back using button or and quit the measuring settings with P.
FI sensor, CAE sensor, show mip (0 or 1)
For the FI sensor the same procedure as far the TDC sensor has to be
used. This setting is only available if the TDC sensor is enabled (set to 1),
because the CAE depends on the TDC sensor.
If the setting show mip is enabled (set to 1), the DPI calculates and
displays the mean indicated pressure (mip) and the indicated power.
Incremental Encoder
If you are using an incremental encoder instead of the TDC or
CAE sensor, respectively, set both the TDC and the CAE sensor
to 1 in the menus shown on the left side.
25
5.6 Install and adjust TDC sensor

The use of a TDC sensor is optional. Due to the multitude of engines
available, we can only give you general installation advice for the TDC
sensor which you must adapt to the local conditions.
DANGER: Works on the TDC sensor may only be carried out
when the engine is at a standstill.
1) Determine a suitable place for mounting the sensor. Then adapt the
base holder, which is supplied on request with the TDC sensor, to
the place of installation or create you own holder in order to ensure
a stable and low-vibration fastening of the TDC sensor.
2) Mount the sensor holder and the sensor at the chosen place of
installation.
3) First place the magnet without adhesive on the flywheel in TDC
position (cylinder 1). Clean and degrease this area prior to this and
remove the protective coating if necessary.
NOTICE: Make sure that the side of the magnet marked red faces
the sensor.
Leutert DPI

4) Move the sensor until its distance to the magnet is 22.5mm, see
Fig 4. Use the distance gauge for this.
5) Plug the TDC sensor cable into the pertinent connecting socket of
the DPI.

until you see the message TDC signal off on the display of the
DPI hand-held unit. Use the distance gauge to move the magnet if
necessary.

9) Now move the magnet carefully back as far as necessary until TDC
signal on appears again on the display. Mark this position.
10) In the case of a surface mounting like in Fig. 4, fix the magnet with
adhesive exactly on the marked position. Please also read the advice
for using the adhesive supplied.
11) To implement a flush mounting as in Fig. 5, do the drilling in such a
way that the magnet projects at least2.5mm after being inserted.
Then readjust the distance of the magnet to the sensor.

5.7 Install Crank Angle Encoder CAE

The optional CAE provides a good reading of the angle. Therefore the
correlation to the pressure is much better and gives an accurate result.
Measurements with the CAE sensor are only reasonable when made in
combination with TDC sensor measurements.
DANGER: Works on the crank angle encoder may only be carried
out when the engine is at a standstill.
Fig. 6 - Crank Angle Encoder
When installing the Crank Angle Encoder (CAE) take care that the
flywheel teeth are not deformed by the turning gear. The best position
to install the Crank Angle Encoder is the outer edge of the flywheel,
because the gear mostly affects the middle of the teeth. Due to the
deformation, the distance between the CAE and the flywheel teeth
may decrease, and the CAE may be destroyed.
The Crank Angle Encoder has to be mounted such that the flat faces
of the CAE housing are parallel to the turning direction of the flywheel
(Fig. 6).
Alternatively, the CAE may be mounted pointing to one side of the
flywheel to prevent this problem. In both cases, the holder for the
CAE must be installed and the minimum distance must be determined
between holder and teeth that is required for one complete turn of
the engine. The CAE may be mounted at a minimum distance of one
millimeter to this minimal distance. This way, a possible later increase
in the play of the bearing would be taken into consideration. The
maximum distance should not exceed 2.5 millimeters.
28
The CAE and TDC sensor are linked to and inter-connected inside a
junction box. The linked data stream is transferred to another junction
box, which is equipped with a bushing for connecting to the DPI handheld unit (Fig. 7).

5.8 Installing the incremental encoder

The use of the incremental encoder is optional. It delivers up to 2048
pulses to the electronics system, thereby enabling a very precise
recording of the engine data, such as the position of the top dead
centre, or of the crankshaft angle. Therefore, no additional TDC
and CAE sensor is required here.
The incremental encoder is delivered to you with a complete assembly
kit for mounting on Wrtsila RT-flex engines (see Fig. 8).
The sensor can be installed without having to carry out mechanical
modifications on the engine, such as e. g. drilling holes.
Figure 8 Incremental encoder incl. mounting elements
DANGER: Works on the incremental encoder may only be carried

out when the engine is at a standstill.
1) Turn engine with turning gear until no. 1 cylinder is at TDC.
2) Take off rear cover from RT-flex sensor by removing the four M12
screws.
3) Install the mounting plate for the torque support on the RT-flex
sensor housing using the three M12x60 screws, M12 spring washers
and spacers.
4) Attach torque support to incremental encoder by means of the M4
screw.
5) Connect the sensor cable of the incremental encoder to the lower
junction box. Make sure to pull the cable through the mounting/
spacer ring from inside before connecting it to the junction box.
6) Plug the DPI connecting cable into the pertinent connecting socket
of the DPI-2.

8) Now turn the incremental encoder by hand until TDC signal on is
shown in the display of the DPI handheld unit, using the red mark
on the incremental encoder for orientation. This procedure may
take some time and requires a steady hand.
9) When the correct position has been reached, slide the incremental
encoder over the 10 mm diameter shaft protruding from the RTflex sensor.
10) Attach the torque support to the mounting plate using the M6
screw.
11) Subsequently, readjust the incremental encoder, if required (see
step 8). To assist turning, you may insert an Allen key into one of
the mounting bolts of the incremental encoder. Observe the display
of the DPI hand-held unit.
12) If the DPI handheld unit indicates TDC signal on, as shown in the
lower display, tighten the two mounting bolts of the incremental
encoder. The incremental encoder is now fixed on the shaft (see
fig. 9).

13) Reinstall the cover of the RT-flex sensor using the M12x60 screws
(see fig. 10).
14) Install the upper junction box on the top platform of the engine.

Indication procedure
Install pressure sensor

CAUTION: Before installing the pressure sensor, clean the relevant
indication channel by fully opening the indicator valve briefly
while the engine is running in order to blow out the channel.
You thus avoid the sensor membrane being contaminated or
damaged.
Then fasten the pressure sensor at the indication bore of the engine.
When starting the measurements, tighten the initially cold sensor only
slightly in order to prevent it from seizing.
Measuring conditions
Before beginning the test series, check whether the TDC is configured
correctly (chapter 5.3), the data memory has been deleted (chapter 5.4)
and the measuring settings (chapter 5.5) are applicable.
To achieve comparable results, ensure that the load remains as stable
and the number of RPM of the engine as constant as possible during
the measuring. If, for example, a TDC sensor with activated averaging
is used when the load and RPM vary, this may cause additional angle
errors in the depiction of the TDC position.
Note down engine settings and operating conditions in order to
reproduce them for later measuring.
After you have connected the pressure sensor, switched on the DPI
hand-held unit and opened the indication valve completely, wait
for another 1.5 Minutes with a 4-stroke engine and 3 Minutes with
a 2-stroke engine respectively before recording the measured values
(once per engine), so that the sensor can work in its optimum operating
temperature range of 100C to 250 C. Then carry out the measuring
series quickly to ensure identical conditions for all cylinders.

6.3 Check measuring settings and loading pressure

Within the menu pressure measurement you also have the option of
changing the loading pressure of the engine independently of the
configuration of the engine parameters according to chapter 5.3.3.
Furthermore, you may alter the stored measuring settings for averaging
and filter functions, please also refer to chapter 5.5.
This procedure is particularly suitable for individual measurements.
We recommend that you do not carry out changes during the course
of a measuring series as you need identical measuring conditions for
comparable data.
Please consider the steps to be carried out in this chapter as a special
case within the operation of the DPI as they deviate from the system of
button assignment described so far.

for this cylinder. In order to prevent incorrect measurements, the DPI
signals differences of more than 16shaft with the message wrong
alphavalue.

Supplementary explanations
With the defined trigger level of 30 % peak pressure and the correlated
crank angle of -25CA, the ignition interval related is determined. This
is a control function to verify the entered angles for the TDCs.
If the criteria is exceeded, the calculated angle will be displayed and
can be accepted or modified by the user. The maximum error of the
calculation may be 8CA. Please regard the measured apha values
only as an orientation.

6.5 Complete measuring series and remove pressure

sensor
Do not forget to switch off the DPI hand-held unit after every use to
relieve the battery. After 10 minutes of standby the DPI hand-held unit
turns off automatically.
Leave the DPI hand-held unit switched on if you wish to index
several engines in succession in order to avoid unnecessary
warm-up phases of the device.
CAUTION: After completion of the measuring series, remove
the pressure sensor from the indication bore in order to avoid
overheating. To do this use the box spanner supplied.
If the pressure sensor cannot be screwed off, open the indicator valve
for a short time in order to release combustion pressure. Be sure to close
valve immediately after removing the sensor. Afterwards the pressure
sensor can be unscrewed.
Observe the safety advice in chapter 2.
Pull the connecting cable out of the DPI hand-held unit and keep those
system components in the carrying case which are supposed to be
stored there.

Maintenance
7.1
Maintenance of the pressure sensor
The DPI hand-held unit is maintenance-free. Make sure that the device
and the pertaining pressure sensor are returned to the company Leutert
for control of the calibration data after approx. 100 operating hours or
after 3 years, respectively.
While the calibration settings are controlled at LEUTERT, the
pressure sensor will be cleaned simultaneously.
7.2
Cleaning of the sensors
Cleaning of the pressure sensor

Remove regularly any soot or carbon deposits from the pressure
sensor since they might interfere with the measuring operation. The
contamination rate depends on the indicated engine and its operating
conditions. The cleaning intervals given below should, thus, be
considered as a rough guide:

after some 5 operating hours for a diesel engine running on heavy

fuel
after some 30 operating hours for an diesel engine running on
diesel oil
When using the equipment on gas driven engines, cleaning is not

required.
No warranty claims will be accepted for damage or destruction of the
pressure sensor due to non-respect of the following safety instruction.
CAUTION:

Before cleaning, allow the sensor to cool down to less than 50C.
Use only the supplied cleaning agent.
Do not introduce any tools into the sensor bore.
Do not disassemble the sensor unit.
Wear safety glasses when blowing out the sensor bore.
43
For cleaning the pressure sensor proceed as follows:

1) Fix the sensor unit in upright position, with the sensor access bore
pointing upwards.
2) Pour the cleaning liquid in a mixture ratio of 1:10 into the sensor
bore and allow to react for about 30 min. to 1 hour.
3) Remove the introduced cleaning agent by turning the device upside
down.
4) Afterwards, blow out the sensor bore by means of compressed air
(max. 4 bar).
5) Any remaining cleaning agent may be removed with clear water by
repeating steps 3 and 4.
If the sensor is heavily stained repeat the cleaning procedure.
Cleaning of the TDC sensor and the CAE
For a perfect operation, remove oil and dirt from the TDC sensor and
Crank Angle Encoder.

Do not use any aggressive cleaning agents such as e. g. cleaners

naphtha.
DANGER: This work must be done only when the engine is
stopped!
