The G7ATL Roller Brake
Tester has been designed as a VOSA MOT approved product capable of testing
Class 1 & Class 2 motorcycles, class 3 trikes, class 4 cars, class 5L (up 5
tonne, 16 seats with seatbelts) and class 7 light commercial motor vehicles.
The G7ATL is
controlled using an infra-red remote control backed up by using a secondary
manual operating function. The G7ATL also has an integrated weighing system
and onboard capability to capture left / right braking efforts and braking
imbalances as well as parking brake effort during a single simple operating
cycle, and then automatically calculate the result of the brake test,
including overall efficiencies, as either a PASS under normal conditions;
PASS with some conditions; or FAIL. This feature removes the responsibility
of these calculations from the MOT tester and introduces a standard test.
For this reason, VOSA prefer this method of testing to be used, where
possible, for new applications.
Once a brake test has been completed and the result displayed, the data is downloaded
automatically by wireless blue-tooth to the GETECH ATL PC. This data is then
automatically archived for use in the FREE MOT manager software which enables
integration to produce a mail-shot to allow you to use
your gathered customer data for marketing purposes at a later date.
Apart from the control system, there are other back-up features of this
product which will ensure that, in rare times of crisis, the product can
still be operated to ensure that you can continue testing: This is known as
manual mode where in the unlikely instance of the ATL software and or
integrated weighing system failing to operate, tests can still be performed with
the MOT tester manually operating the rollers and storing the data by
assigning in to the appropriate axle on the remote control in a similar
fashion to a
GE7 brake tester.
Once the test is completed in manual mode the MOT tester can add the vehicle
weight, from data charts, and then the unit will automatically display
measured forces, imbalances and overall efficiencies the data for entry to
the VTS device.
As the unit is designed in a modular format, it is possible to upgrade from
a GE7 to this G7ATL enabling garage owners the option to minimise their
outgoing expenditure now and keep the option to upgrade to ATL testing in
the future. The unit requires a three phase, 32 Amp electrical supply and,
like other GETECH brake testers, is usually available from stock.
