STARDEX® 0602
Safety rules for working with STARDEX 0602.
Before using the device STARDEX 0602 (further “the test bench”) read this manual
carefully.

The test bench should be plugged only in a three-phase circuit of alternative current 380W
with grounding. In order to power up the test bench use only a supply cable from the
delivery kit.

Getting of electrical charges on the body of the test bench is strongly prohibited!

Getting of liquid inside the test bench is strongly prohibited!

Test bench body is constructed to protect its components from mechanical impact while
operating. Avoid body damage, do not drop the test bench and do not put any heavy
objects on its cover.

At any sign of defect as smoke, sparking or specific smell, unplug the test bench
immediately and contact the nearest STARDEX service center.

All cables connected to the test bench must be supplied with standard plugs without
mechanical damage.

Opening operating test bench is strictly prohibited.

Store and use away from children and pets.

The test bench is designed to work with Common Rail system. A user must understand the
structure and principle of operation of high pressure injection systems.

Incorrect use of the test bench may lead to breakage of the equipment or user’s injury.

Purpose and range of application.

 STARDEX 0602 is a highly professional universal test bench for testing injectors of
Common Rail system of different manufacturers, brands and models.

 STARDEX 0602 is reliable and easy to work with. The process of injector testing is
completely automatic and does not require any specific knowledge and skills from an
operator. STARDEX 0602 contains more than 1150 automatic testplans for testing
Bosch, Delphi, Denso, Siemens (Сontinental), Caterpillar injectors. The test bench is
equipped with a measuring unit which measures delivery and return flow quickly and
accurately and automatically puts results into the summary table. It is enough to
install injectors onto STARDEX 0602, select their type and serial number and start
test by pressing only one button, at the end the test bench creates a detail report of
injectors’ test.

 The test bench is specified to test from one to four injectors simultaneously.

 It works both with electromagnetic and piezoelectric Common Rail injectors.

 The test bench is able to produce pressure up to 1700 bar. A protective shroud made
of transparent plexiglas closes the working area, ensures good protection of a user
from every possible accident on high-pressure lines.

 There is a mode of hand control for advanced users when an operator can choose
pump revolution speed, width and frequency of injection pulse, pressure in the fuel
rail, measuring units. There is a possibility to create and save own testplans.
  STARDEX 0602 enables to conduct a test of current characteristics of an injector,
with the precise diagram which is displayed on the screen.

 STARDEX 0602 also enables to get a repair code for Delphi injectors.

 The test bench is controlled by a keyboard and a mouse or by navigating buttons on

the front panel. All necessary information is displayed on the colour LCD screen (6.5
in). It is possible to connect the test bench to a detachable screen (included in the
supply kit).

Installing and connecting.

 Remove package from the test bench and set it on its wheels.

 Distance between the wall and the back panel must be not less than 0,3 m for free
work of the cooling fan.

 The front and back panels must be opened with the help of special key from the
supply kit in order to make sure there are no damages of the equipment, wiring and
fuel lines which may be caused by incorrect transporting.
 Pour a calibration fluid into the mouth of the tank and open its ventilation by turning
a special valve on the cover of the tank.

 Switch on the power module by its button situated on the back panel of STARDEX
0303.
 Connect a wireless module for the mouse and the keyboard to a free USB port.

 (By option) Connect the detachable screen from the supply kit.

 Fix back and front panels on the test bench again.

 Plug into a three-phase circuit of alternative current 380W with grounding with the
power cable.
  Fix the automatic power valve situated on the left panel of the test bench in ON-
position.

 Run the loading of the operation system by the ON button on the front panel of
STARDEX 0303.

 The test bench is ready to be used after the operation system is loaded.

 The test bench is switched off by the OFF button on the front panel of STARDEX
0303. When the light diode on the front panel of STARDEX 0303 is red, switch the
lever of the automatic power on the left panel of the test bench in OFF-position.

① Headline is a line where manufacturer and serial number of tested injectors are shown.

② Test step shows the name of the current testing mode, horizontal arrows change
modes.

③ Target revolutions. If you activate motor control using ON/OFF switch in the section
MOTOR or by START/STOP button, the speed of the test bench high pressure pump
revolution will be established on the level of target revolutions.

④ Target pressure. If you activate fuel rail pressure control by ON/OFF switch in the
section PRESSURE or by START/STOP button, real pressure in the fuel rail will be
established on the level of target pressure.

⑤ Pulse width is the exact period of time when the injector is operating, which is called
pulse width of injection or duration of injection, it is measured in microseconds.

⑥ Pulse frequency is the number of complete injections per 1 sec measured in Hz.

⑦ Delivery/back flow data is reference values for results of injector delivery/back flow for
the current test step.

⑧ Result field serves for inserting the value of delivery or back flow of injectors into
report. Numeral on the left of the field corresponds to the number of the injector tested.
Quantity of fields for inserting displayed on the screen depends on quantity of tested
injectors.

⑨ Information area is an opening section where the mode of the current test step is
described.

⑩ Motor revolutions are real revolutions of the high pressure pump measured by RPM
sensor.

⑰ Pressure control is ON/OFF switch in the section PRESSURE. If the switch is ON, control
of the reduction valve in the fuel rail will start so that real pressure in the rail will be kept
on the level of target pressure. If the switch is OFF, control of the reduction valve in the rail
will be over and pressure will fall to minimal.

⑱ Injector pulse control is ON/OFF switch in the section INJECTORS. If the switch is ON,
the pulse on selected injectors with given width and frequency will be launched. If the
switch is OFF, the pulse of injectors will be stopped.
⑲ Quit to Main screen.

and fuel rail pressure are set on the given level. Wait about a minute so that injectors fill
line of the flow meter and make it free from air. Measure quantity of delivery and back flow
using flow meter menu in the right part of the display or by button AUTO. Proceed to the
next test step and continue this succession of actions. After the results of delivery and back
flow are inserted into the last test, press START/STOP in order to stop the test bench. Go to
the result screen.
