Cat 285-0910 Multi-Tool Group Build Up and Activate the Individual Tool Functionalities According to the Growing Demands of Your Service Operation The concept of the 285-0910 Multi-Tool Group is simple...provide the functionality of several diagnostic tools in a single, menu-driven, handheld unit This multi-tool arrives with the software already preloaded for four individual tools...a blowby/airflow indicator, an electronic position indicator, a signal generator and counter, and an engine timing indicator. The technician activates an individual tool’s functionality by inserting the appropriate software license card. Once activated, that specific functionality remains permanently accessible from the menu. The remaining license software cards can be purchased as service requirements dictate. The technician needs only to insert the card in order to activate the functionality. If more than one functionality has been activated, the multi-tool will display data from only one tool at a time.

Since the multi-tool replaces four existing tools, the multi-tool is designed to use the same sensors as the “green box” tools. The diagnostic interface module, which is part of the multi-tool, allows the multi-tool to use all of these sensors. For this reason, many dealers will not need to purchase any of the new sensors.
Dealer Service Tools’ multi-generational plan is to develop more tools in addition to the initial four included in the multitool. Additional functionality will be offered as software updates, and the new functionalities will be activated with software license cards. The Cat 285-0910 Multi-Tool Group sets a new standard with a diagnostic tool that grows according to the demands of your service operation. Your dealership purchases what it needs, as it needs it.
Multiple Tool Functionality From Dealer Service Tools Ordering the Cat 285-0910 Multi-Tool Group Step 1. Order the basic multi-tool group The 285-0910 Multi-Tool Group consists of those items shown in the chart below. The multi-tool is the diagnostic tool itself. It features a bright color display with large digits that are easy to read in sunlight. Its large, left- and right-handed buttons are easy for your technician to use, even with gloved hands. The diagnostic interface module (Module - DIM) plugs into the multi-tool and adapts the various sensors and cables required for different functionalities to the multitool. This module allows dealers to use the existing sensors from the “green box” tools with the multitool, reducing the overall investment for the collective tool functionalities. The modular design also facilitates additional software and functionality updates planned for the future.The universal power supply, internal battery, and DC cable for the vehicle battery provide three options to power the multitool worldwide.
The universal power supply accepts voltages from 90 to 240 volts AC for worldwide use. Power cords also are included for worldwide use. The internal battery is a rechargeable, nickel metal hydride acceptable for worldwide use. The DC cable accepts voltages from 9 to 32 volts DC and has large alligator connectors. This allows the

Blowby/Airflow Indicator The blowby/airflow indicator allows your technician to measure the volume of blowby gases released through the crankcase breather or the air velocity through a component such as a radiator core. Blowby measurements provide helpful information when planning engine repairs. Airflow measurements identify plugged or partially restricted areas of the cores. Both large and small blowby groups are available. The large blowby group checks blowby on 3500 Series and 3600 Series Engines, including ACERTTM models as well as on the larger 300 Series Engines. The small blowby group works on engines smaller than 3500 Series and the smaller 300 Series Engines. The blowby/airflow indicator displays blowby and airflow. It also displays
strip charts, maximums, and minimums with the differences. The sample rate is adjustable, and your technician can easily select between SAE and metric units of measure.

Signal Generator Group with Counter The signal generator group is primarily used to simulate the signal from a magnetic speed pickup for troubleshooting electronic controls for transmissions. It also serves as a frequency counter for pulsating AC or DC input. The signal generator group can be used for calibration of a number of electronic diagnostic tools. As part of the multi-tool group, this signal generator group allows your technician to make frequency and amplitude adjustments simply by pushing a button. All of the cables in the 285-0899 Signal Generator Group (with Counter) were part of the “green box” 8T-5200 Signal Generator/Counter Group. If your dealership has that previous group, you can use the cables from the previous group. The five-pin DIN adapter, which is part of the basic 285-0910 Multi-Tool Group, must be used to connect these cables to the diagnostic interface module. 285-0899 Signal Generator Cable Group (with Counter) Quan.

Engine Timing Indicator The engine timing indicator allows your technician to measure an engine’s fuel injection timing. During the timing test, the multitool will chart engine RPM’s vs degrees on the display. For diesel engines the multi-tool must be used with the existing 8T5301 Diesel Group - Engine Timing and the 285-0897 Engine Timing Pickup Group. When used with the existing 6V-9060 Gas Group - Engine Timing and the 2850897 Engine Timing Pickup Group, the timing indicator will check the engine timing on natural gas engines. The timing indicator also can check the automatic timing advance unit on engines so equipped. The 6V-3093 Transducer Adapter, the 6V-2199 Transducer Adapter,
the 6V-2197 Transducer, and the 5P7362 Signal Cable Assembly are parts of the 8T-5300 Engine Timing Indicator Group. Dealers who
already have these cables do not have to purchase them.
