1 Description
1.1 General Information

The MDO2-LON Diesel Emission Tester is a partial-current turbidity measurement device for the
official emission test for diesel-powered cars and trucks.
Through menu-assisted operator control, the MAHA MDO2-LON opacimeter allows easy testing
and diagnosis of the exhaust emitted from diesel-powered vehicles. The MDO2-LON consists of
at least two components which complement each other:
MDO2-LON BASIC UNIT

The basic unit serves to determine the quantity to be measured, that means the blackening
-1
or turbidity of the diesel smoke. The opacity of the diesel smoke is indicated in the unit k [m
] and in [%]. The RPM and the oil temperature can either be measured in the basic unit or in
the hand-terminal. The basic unit is connected to the hand-terminal via a 4-line cable. The
basic unit is to be positioned near the exhaust pipe.
HAND-TERMINAL WITH DATA PRINTER

The portable hand-terminal facilitates the operation of the whole system and can be taken
into the vehicle. The operational field consists of a membrane keyboard with maximum
protection against environmental conditions; although it is not recommended to expose the
keyboard and/or the entire hand terminal intentionally to corrosive substances. The
integrated LCD-display of the hand-terminal serves to display the measuring results and
leads the user through the various programs.
BASIC UNIT WITH HAND-TERMINAL:
D1 3127BA1-GB02 1.1
MDO2-LON V1.02.1.06.GB Description
1.2 The Measuring Principle

The opacimeter functioning principle rests on the fact that, depending on concentration,
emission exhaust allows less light to penetrate than air would. This principle is put into practice
in the opacimeter; called absorption photometry. The emission exhaust is collected in an
elongated chamber with a transmitter and receiver located at the respective ends.
The transmitter consists of a LED which transmits a wave length of 567 nm. This wave length is
coordinated with the absorption capacity of the emission exhaust. A photo electric cell receives
the impinging light on the opposite side of the chamber.

3 Operation
3.1 Preparations
3.1.1 Connect MDO2-LON
1 Position the basic unit at the location where

it is to be used and connect it to the voltage
supply. Use either the 230 V power supply
cable (B) or the optional cable for the
vehicle’s 12/24 V onboard power voltage
(A).
2 Connect the emission probe (A) to the

emission probe connection on the basic unit
(B) and fasten the emission probe to the
exhaust pipe of the vehicle.
3 If still not done, now connect the hand-

terminal to the basic unit using the special
connection cable.
D1 3127BA1-GB02 3.1
MDO2-LON V1.02.1.06.GB Operation
3.1.2 Install the RPM Sensor „Piezo Clamp“

If the emission measurement is conducted using an RPM sensor, it must be installed at the
respective location on the engine or its periphery depending on the type and version of sensor.
Then connect the RPM sensor to the hand-terminal.
The standard RPM sensor from MAHA is a piezo clamp. The following RPM sensors are also
available:
TDC-sensor Clamp W Optical pick up

Roto-Phon Vehicle-specific adapter
When using a piezo clamp pay attention to the following points to prevent damage to the piezo
clamp:
Install the piezo clamp near the injection pump or injection valve, as vibrations are damped
best in this area and the piezo clamp does not come into contact with other components.
Install the piezo clamp only on a straight part of the fuel pipe line. The piezo clamp will be
damaged if it is attached to a bent piece of pipe.
Pay attention that the piezo clamp does not touch other lines which are close to it!
Do not turn or push the piezo clamp on the line. (Danger of damage!) Enormous shearing
stress between measurement socket and piezo-quartz can lead to loosening or breaking of
the quartz (grooves on the measurement shell).
The piezo clamp will be damaged if a wrong diameter is selected. Piezo clamps are
available in various versions: A 4 mm, 4,5 mm, 6 mm, 6,35 mm, 6,5 mm, 7 mm, 8 mm etc.
The piezo clamp will be damaged if the fuel line is painted or dirty.
(cross section is too large, no mass).
The piezo clamp will be damaged if it falls onto a hard surface. Even small hair cracks in the
piezo quartz lead to RPM signal misses.
No warranty claims will be accepted with mechanical damage!
3.2 D1 3127BA1-GB02
Operation MDO2-LON V1.02.1.06.GB
INSTALLING THE PIEZO CLAMP:
1 Thoroughly clean a straight part of the fuel pipe line

where the piezo clamp is to be installed (approx. 5
cm) of dirt and paint (use abrasive cloth, grain >150).
2 Install the piezo clamp near the injection pump or
injection valve.
3 Install ground connection to the cleaned fuel pipe
line.
Grounding on the battery or the vehicle body may cause problems!
4 Carefully tighten piezo clamp by hand, i.e. turn piezo

clamp 1/8 to 1/4 screw torque after you feel the first
resistance (=^ 20 - 30 Ncm).
Do not use a tool! Risk of damage!!!
3.1.2.1 Piezo Clamp in Connection with Onboard Voltage Operation
If the diesel-emission tester is connected to the vehicle’s onboard voltage supply (cigarette
lighter or clamping claw) and simultaneously the RPM is determined using a piezo clamp, the
following sequence must be strictly maintained!
1 Connect the MDO2-LON basic unit to the onboard voltage (Battery) .

2 Mount piezo clamp.
3 Do the test as described in the operating manual.
4 First remove the piezo clamp and then discount the voltage supply.
D1 3127BA1-GB02 3.3
3.1.2.2 Connect Oil Temperature Probe

If an oil temperature probe is available, the engine temperature can be measured using the oil
temperature. The oil temperature can be read from the display on the hand-terminal after the
MDO2-LON is switched on.
1 Set the oil temperature probe to the correct

length. Remove the oil measuring stick and
insert the oil temperature probe.
2 Connect the oil temperature probe to the
hand-terminal.
3.1.3 Switch on the MDO2-LON
1 Switch on the basic unit at the main switch

(B). As soon as the device is supplied with
electricity, the optical display (A) lights up.

3.1.4 Check Engine Temperature

1 Warm up the engine of the test vehicle up to the manufacturer prescribed oil or cooling water
temperature. With an oil temperature sensor, the oil temperature can be read on the display.
This step is not necessary when the engine has an operational temperature!
D1 3127BA1-GB02 3.5
3.2 Official Emission Measurement Cycle for Emission Inspection

The emission measurement procedure is conducted based on the Irish regulations for emission
testing.
3.2.1 Cleaning Exhaust Strokes (Blow-Out Exhaust Strokes)
Only active if the number of cleaning strokes set in the system variables is not 0. Standard
setting is 0.
Up to 10 cleaning strokes can be conducted before the actual measurements begin. The
number of cleaning strokes can be set in the system-variables. The cleaning exhaust strokes
are not taken into consideration for the test results and serve only to clean or blow out the
exhaust system. There must be an engine rest period of 5 seconds between the gas strokes.
(See Rest Period). After the cleaning blow-out strokes are completed the measurement strokes
are done.
3.2.2 Rest Period

A rest period of 5 seconds is required between the individual exhaust strokes. If the current
RPM is outside the idle RPM limits (measurements with RPM sensor) the engine rest period of
5 seconds is started again. The RPM is displayed as a bar graph with the idle RPM limits. The
max. k-value of the previous exhaust stroke is also displayed. For measurements without RPM
the last max. k-max value is displayed as well as the remaining rest period.
3.2.3 Acceleration Exhaust Strokes (Measurement Exhaust Strokes)

The acceleration measurement is started when the idle RPM is exceeded (for measurements
with RPM sensor) or when the smoke exhaust turbidity increases (for measurements without
RPM).The peak value of the smoke exhaust turbidity, the idle and cut-off RPM and oil
temperature are measured (assuming oil temperature sensor is connected). The measurement
values are automatically stored. After each exhaust stroke the operator is requested to release
the gas pedal. Directly after this the rest period starts. (see Rest Period). If the turbidity climb is
not recognized with measurements without RPM, the measurement can be manually started
with the [ * ] key.
3.2.4 Measurement Categories

There are two different measurement categories available:
Category A for CARS Category B for TRUCKS
The number of tests that must be conducted depends on the chosen vehicle category. The
standard setting of the MDO2-LON is as follows:
3.6 D1 3127BA1-GB02
3.2.4.1 Category A for Passenger Cars

The official emission measurement cycle in category A consists of at least 3 and a maximum of
6 individual measurements. The last 3 successive measurements are evaluated. After each
individual measurement there is a cleaning time of 5 seconds while the engine rotates in idle.
The arithmetic mean value is calculated from the last 3 measurement exhaust strokes:
k n − 2 + k n −1 + k n
k mittel = n: number of the last measurement exhaust stroke
3
The measurement is completed after 3 individual measurements if each of the individual

measurement values of the first 3 measurements has a k-value d 2.00 m -1.
.
If this is not the case, the deviations from the mean value are checked for 75 %. The
arithmetic mean k-mean is calculated from the last 3 exhaust strokes. If all 3
k-values from which the mean value was calculated are not smaller than 75% of the k-mean,
then the acceleration measurement is completed. Otherwise the acceleration measurement
is continued.
After the 6th exhaust stroke is done, the acceleration measurement is completed. The
arithmetic mean value is calculated from the last 3 exhaust strokes. It is checked whether the
last 3 k values from which the mean value was calculated were not smaller than 75% of k-
mean. If one or two k-values are smaller than 75% of the k-mean with the last 3 exhaust
strokes, these k-values are ignored. A new arithmetic mean value k-mean is calculated from
the remaining valid k-values.
3.2.4.2 Category B for Trucks

The official emission measurement cycle in category B consists of at least 4 and maximum of 10
individual measurements. The last 4 successive measurements are evaluated. After each
individual measurement there is a cleaning time of 5 seconds while the engine rotates in idle.
The arithmetic mean value is calculated from the last 4 measurement exhaust strokes:
k n − 3 + k n − 2 + k n −1 + k n
k mittel = n: number of the last measurement exhaust stroke
4
The measurement is completed after 4 individual measurements if each of the individual

measurement values of the first 4 measurements has a k-value d 2.00 m -1.
.
If this is not the case, the deviations from the mean value are checked for 75 %. The
arithmetic mean k-mean is calculated from the last 4 exhaust strokes. If all 4
k-values from which the mean value was calculated are not smaller than 75% of the k-mean,
then the acceleration measurement is completed. Otherwise the acceleration measurement
is continued.
After the 10th exhaust stroke is done, the acceleration measurement is completed. The
arithmetic mean value is calculated from the last 4 exhaust strokes. It is checked whether the
last 4 k- values from which the mean value was calculated were not smaller than 75% of k-
mean. If two or three k-values are smaller than 75% of the k-mean with the last 4 exhaust
strokes, these k-values are ignored. A new arithmetic mean value k-mean is calculated from
the remaining valid k-values.
D1 3127BA1-GB02 3.7
3.2.5 Measurement of the Zero-Point Drift

At the end of the exhaust measurement the device conducts a zero point adjustment. If the
-1
permissable zero point drift of 0.20 m is exceeded (e.g. due to dirty optics), a corresponding
error message appears after the completed measurement and the total measurement is invalid.
-1
If the offset drift is smaller than 0.20 m , this value is deducted from the mean value after the
max. permissable number of measurements has been done.
3.2.6 Evaluation of the Test

After the acceleration measurement is completed, the test is evaluated.
-1
If the k-mean is not larger than the target value k-max (with Turbo 3.00 m , without Turbo 2.50
-1
m ), the test is evaluated as „passed“ , otherwise it has failed.

3.4 Emission Diagnostic

The diagnostic measurement offers the possibility to quickly measure the emission turbidity
without having to run through the entire Official Emission Test cycle. The diagnostic
measurement can also be used to check the vehicle settings e.g. before and after engine repair.
It is sufficient to attach the probe on the exhaust pipe and to do one exhaust stroke. The max.
turbidity appears immediately on the display.

3.7 Linearity Control
3.7.1 General Information

The linearity control has to be carried out every 7 days. The linearity is checked using a filter
disc (accessory) .
When the linearity control is due, the emission test is not possible. Only a diagnostic
measurement is possible.
After the menu-point OFFICIAL DIESEL EMISSION TEST has )+"/)16 ,+1/g
been called up, a display message appears informing the user
when the next linearity control has to be conducted, e.g.:
)+ 5 !60
If the linearity control is due, the following message appears: ,+!2 1
)+"/)16 ,+1/g
The filter disc must be clean and free of dust before it is used for checking the linearity. In case
of doubt, always clean the filter disc with a clean, fluff-free cloth! It is very important that the
black plastic covers which protect the optics are properly placed when checking the calibration!

Then the automatic calibration is continued. The remaining waiting time is shown on the
display during calibration. During calibration the 100% and the 0% light intensity of the optic
is automatically measured for the calculation of the k-value turbidity. If an error occurs during
calibration, this is shown. For more detailed information see Chapter „Error messages“. The
end of the calibration is indicated with a beep tone.
⇒ Now the current k-value and the deviation from the target ' S g * M9

If the deviation is too large, the program can only be ended with the [ESC] key. The linearity
control cycle is not reset. In order to minimize the deviation, clean the filter glass with the cloth
which is supplied. If there is no improvement do the cleaning cycle . (see user manual).
If the given value is still not reached inspite of cleaning, the unit must be calibrated anew by
customer service!

5.2 Problems with Piezo Clamp

Should there be problems with the piezo clamp go through the following checklist:
Is the piezo clamp well tightened?

Does the ground line short circuit? This is caused e.g. by contact with other injection line ,
among other things.
Is the piezo clamp attached to the pipe bend?
Is the ground line of the piezo clamp connected with the vehicle mass?
Does the line piece oscillate? The reason for this may be a long injection.
Is there dirt on the fuel line on which the piezo clamp is attached?
Does the piezo clamp being used have the right size for the fuel line cross-cut?
Has the piezo clamp been damaged by unskilled attachment (e.g. by turning it on the fuel
line, letting it fall, etc.? A hairline crack could be in the piezo clamp ceramic.
The correct connecting of the piezo clamp is described in Chapter 3, paragraph 3.1.2
5.3 Equipment does not heat up

The optical temperature display does not move forward, i.e. the
equipment is not heating up.

5.6 Error in the Voltage Supply

If the ready lamp does not light up although the voltage supply is connected, then there is no
230 V power voltage available.
1 Check the voltage supply.

2 If necessary change the fuse on the outside of the MDO2-LON.
5.7 Keys Defective

If various keys do not react to the entry of vehicle data or similar , the keyboard is most likely
defective. In this case the hand terminal must be exchanged. Please contact your technical
service representative in your area.
5.8 No Display on the Hand Terminal Display

No display appears on the hand terminal.
1 Check the power connection as well as the cable and plug connections.

5.9 K-value changes too small

The changes to the k-value is too small or the k-value does not change at all.
1 Check whether the vehicle is equipped with a soot filter.

If there is a soot filter: the measurement is OK.
The vehicle is not equipped with a soot filter: Call up the cleaning mode.
2 Check whether the scavenging valve switches after calling up the cleaning mode.
The scavenging valve switches: Insert a clean hose instead of the exhaust probe and
blow into the hose with your mouth. Check when switching the valve, if there is alternately
through put or not. If yes, the defect is probably on the hand terminal. If not, the defect is
probably on the valve.
The scavenging valve does not switch: Check the connection cable between the hand
terminal and basic unit. If necessary, exchange the cable.

The MDO2-LON must be serviced every 6 months. For a description of the cleaning procedure
and calibration of the opacimeter, see chapter 4.
A display message that appears each time after the opacimeter is switched on will inform the
user when the next servicing is due. After 6 months, the display message Time for servicing
appears on the display.
The menu point CLEAN UNIT must be called up in the setting ("+ 2+)1 →
menu.

6.1 Battery
The hand-terminal is fitted with a real-time clock, which is supported by a storage battery. This
battery has a longevity somewhere between 4 - 6 years. It depends upon environmental
conditions (location, location temperature).
If the clock is slow this means that the battery needs to be changed (see chapter 5, paragraph
5.14.).
A completely discharged battery can leak and thus damage or destroy component parts! Such
damage is not covered by the guarantee!
A battery change must be done by customer service!
