EOBD RPM

The TEN EOBD adaptor is a digital EOBD adaptor which can be used on all existing TEN multigas analysers and smokemeters. The EOBD RPM is connected to the EOBD connector of the examined vehicle and through a communication lead connected to the multigas analyser/smokemeter. 

EOBD is an abbreviation which stands for European On Board Diagnosis. This means that through defined communication protocols the vehicle is able to send vehicle related information to external equipment like motortesters, fault code readers or gas analysers.

The EOBD RPM supports the next communication protocols:

- ISO 15765-4 (CAN)

- ISO 14230-4 (Keyword Protocol 2000)

- ISO 9141-2

- SAE J1850 PWM

- SAE J1850 VPW



The TEN EOBD adaptor records the engine speed, the engine temperature and the standard EOBD DTC's, (Diagnostic Trouble Code). All values are displayed at the host device, the gas analyser or smoke meter.

Not every vehicle which is built after the year 2000 supports EOBD. It can be that the vehicle is provided with an EOBD connection, but communication is not possible. This applies for petrol as well as diesel vehicles.

Also there are vehicles which communicate though different communication protocols, so not the above mentioned EOBD protocols.
