 Changing
brake fluid is often thought of as time consuming and tricky, but
it is also an excellent way to improve the margins on servicing.
A recent survey has highlighted that 80% of cars need their fluid
changed, which represents a considerable profit potential.
Liquid
Levers Innovations, market leaders in brake fluid testing technology
have introduced a new generation of brake fluid safety meters that
are unbeatable for accuracy, safety and cost effectiveness. Powered
by 12v (from the vehicles battery), the new meters are user-friendly
and specifically designed for the MOT market, already complying
with proposed European legislation. The position of master cylinders
often hinders accurate measuring of fluids but our safety meter
can test at angles of up to 30° from vertical, at a minimum
depth of 19mm and brake fluids with boiling points of 260°C.
A large, clear digital display gives the fluid temperature, readable
at a distance of 5 metres, easily seen by the customer from the
MOT viewing area.
The Liquid Levers Innovations Brake Fluid Tester now has the capability of interfacing with garage diagnostics systems laptops / computers, making possible a whole new approach to the testing of brake fluid. A custom RS232 type cable (supplied) will connect the tester to any PC Windows based testing system ( 2000, XP or Vista only) to facilitate the printing of test results for each vehicle, simply and conveniently and without the requirement for staff training other than a reasonable familiarity with the diagnostics system or PC itself. We can supply a dongle to enable connection to laptops and computers without an RS232 (9 pin) socket. In some countries it is or may soon will be a legal requirement for such verifiable data to be available in vehicle testing stations as part of regular roadworthiness tests. Up to 10 readings may be obtained and stored for each vehicle tested and the results displayed in various ways. |
