The PQ345 PicoBNC+ 1400V Differential Probe Kit, part of the PicoBNC+ family, changes the game for high-voltage measurements. With the hallmark benefits of PicoBNC+ connectivity, including probe recognition, it connects seamlessly with PicoScope 4425A oscilloscopes, eliminating manual range switching and battery concerns. With up to three probes usable at once, technicians can ensure safety compliance without compromising efficiency.

PicoBNC+ 14 bar pressure transducer with Foster adaptor

Traditional pressure gauges do not provide technicians with a graphical representation of their measurements so they can’t show and/or record the pressure values and trends they observe during the test. As such, they can’t easily share their results with customers, colleagues or technical support and warranty teams. Nor can they come back to them when they need reference data in the future.

The PQ334 PicoBNC+ 14 bar pressure transducer with Foster adaptor fulfils these needs and, in addition, offers all the PicoBNC+ ease of use benefits, such as not needing a battery, software probe recognition, and software probe range control.

Pack contents

• TA393 PicoBNC+ 14 bar pressure transducer
• TA413 Foster series 2 to ¼"NPT adaptor

The pack includes the TA393 PicoBNC+ 14 bar pressure transducer with a 1/4" NPT output and a TA413 Foster series 2 to ¼" NPT adaptor so that the transducer can connect with our existing range of pressure test adaptors and accessories.

Flow Meters

To further the hydraulic testing capability of your PicoScope, we can supply a range of hydraulic flow meters. The Pico flow meter range has been developed in conjunction with industry-leading flow meter supplier Webtec and is based on their very popular range of turbine flow meters

Ultrasonic Parking Sensor Detector

This 2-meter long lead with a detector is intended to allow a technician to prove the correct operation of each of the ultrasonic parking sensors in turn. By directly showing the strength of the signal from a given sensor, it can also be used to identify problems with the masking of sensors due to the fitment of aftermarket accessories such as tow bars or lights. 

Keyless Entry Detector

The TA330 is a detector intended to allow a technician to detect the presence of the keyless entry carrier frequency in the range 125 kHz to 140 kHz (as used by most manufacturers). The device has a short range by design, allowing the technician to check each pickup coil in turn and hence identify a faulty unit. The detector does not pick up or decode the high-frequency secure information used to unlock the vehicle.

Coil On Plug Ignition Probe

The TA398 COP and signal probe from Pico Technology is the easiest and fastest non-intrusive way to check coil-on-plug ignition coils and spark plugs.

Features

• Find misfires fast
• Displays scope patterns of the secondary, faster than scoping the primary
• Can also be used to investigate injectors and other inductive actuators
• Flexible design allows for easier access to hard-to-reach components
• No batteries required

Like distributors, spark plug wires are starting to disappear from cars. With the new COP ignition systems the ignition coils are connected directly to the spark plugs — eliminating the need for the spark plug wires. With no high-voltage spark wires, a COP probe is required to be able to pick up the secondary ignition waveform.

Unlike the BNC TA204 COP Probe, the connecting lead is integral to the TA398 BNC+ COP Probe, therefore no TA033 (BNC to BNC lead) is required.

This lead is fitted with a PicoBNC+ interface, allowing it to be recognised by the software for auto-configuration. The lead requires a PicoScope featuring the PicoBNC+ such as the 4225A or 4425A.

Fuse Extension Leads Kit

Fuse extension leads are a simple accessory that can save you valuable time.

Fuse extension leads are quick and easy to use: simply remove the fuse (of the circuit you wish to test) from your fusebox and replace it with a fuse extension lead. Now insert the fuse into the extension lead. To measure the current drawn, just connect your Pico current clamp to the extension lead.

4 fuse extension leads are supplied, allowing you to use the leads with ATC, mini-ATC, JCASE, and Maxi style fuses.

CAN Test Box

At first glance, the need for a breakout box may not be apparent as you can probe the OBD connector terminals quite easily to measure the values present on each of the 16 pins. However, the 16-pin BOB comes into its own when we start looking at speed, accuracy and security, which is essential during any diagnosis.

Simply connect the 16-pin BOB to the OBD connector and you can immediately confirm the presence of battery voltage and vehicle ground. This is thanks to the illuminated LEDs around the respective 4 mm banana sockets for pins 16 and 4. We can now instantly confirm that power and ground are present at the OBD connector and our 16-pin BOB can now provide additional information on the status of the remaining OBD terminals.

Depending on the age and style of the vehicle,  LEDs 6 and 14 may be flashing to indicate activity on both CAN Hi and CAN Lo circuits along with LED 5, to confirm the presence of signal ground for several power unit sensors.

At this stage, no additional test equipment has been installed and yet we have gathered a wealth of diagnostic information. To monitor the signals present on any terminal of the OBD connector, the 4 mm banana sockets on the BOB allow for secure connection of PicoScope probes that will remain connected during road testing or wiggle testing of the wiring harness.

16 Pin CAN Test Box

The CAN Test Box gives you easy access to the 16 pins of the diagnostic connector that is fitted to all modern vehicles. Depending on the configuration of the vehicle, this may allow you to check power, ground and CAN Bus signal quality. With the test adaptors supplied you can connect your PicoScope automotive scope, or any other suitable scope, to the CAN Test Box to monitor any signals present, such as the CAN High and Low signals.

The CAN Test Box connects to a vehicle᾿s OBDII / EOBD connector and lets you easily diagnose electrical faults.

• Instantly check power and ground circuits
• Identify communication link protocols
• Connect an oscilloscope for signal capture and collection of signal waveform data
• Compatible with both 12V and 24V vehicles

Back Pinning Probes

First and foremost the TA008 is a back pinning probe. In fact, it's the smallest diameter back pinning probe that we know of. This is essential for probing today's small, fragile connector. It is also very sharp, so it slides past connector seals with ease.

This product solves most of the problems associated with traditional back–pinning methods.

The TA008 is a piercing probe

Secondly, the TA008 is a piercing probe. Its small diameter, extra sharp pin makes it ideal for piercing the insulation on small gauge wires where traditional piercing tools might cause damage.

The TA008 is field repairable

And finally, here's the best part. Don't you just hate it when you are using a back pinning probe and it bends or breaks? Before the TA008 came along, this meant that you had to buy a whole new back–probe. Not with the TA008; it's repairable. If the pin becomes damaged or useless in any way, simply take your pocket screwdriver, remove the set screw, pull out the old pin and install the new one! There's no need to replace the whole probe.

Contents:

• 5 Complete Backpinning probes
• 5 Screws
• 30 Replacement needles

Pico insulation piercing probes (set of five)

These easy-to-use probes are designed for technicians in automotive repair workshops who need to quickly establish a reliable connection to wiring when back-pinning is not permitted or recommended, and no suitable breakout connection is available.

When insulation piercing is the preferred solution, these Pico probes deliver outstanding performance, minimising the risk of wire damage and maintaining the standard over an extended lifetime of more than 5000 insertions. The insulation piercing probes are supplied as a set of five colored probes, allowing rapid visual identification of each connection to the colored channels of the PicoScope.

Premium Test Leads

You've got the best oscilloscope, now get the best leads!

Our premium leads are colour–coded so that the colour of the lead in the engine bay matches the colour of the on–screen waveform in PicoScope Automotive — never again will you waste your time wondering which lead is what.

Like our standard test leads, the premium leads are fully screened to minimise noise pick–up so you can have complete confidence in the signal that you are measuring.
