SubscribeCummins today announced the release of the next generation of engine information tools - the QuickCheck 5100.
This revolutionary new product brings the power of a portable computer and engine-monitoring software into one handheld device. It not only allows monitoring of Cummins engines, but other electronic diesel engines as well. The QuickCheck 5100 is a self-contained device that makes capturing and reading engine data easier and faster, helping industrial professionals to better manage equipment and operations. The rugged, weather-resistant handheld device is specifically designed and built for extreme environmental conditions. The QuickCheck 5100 connects to any electronic diesel engine, using standard J1587 or J1939 data links with supplied 6- or 9-pin cables.
A supplied USB cable allows users to link their QuickCheck 5100 to a desktop PC. Ready to work straight from the box, the QuickCheck 5100 is preloaded with QuickCheck and PowerSpec applications, and runs on Windows CE. QuickCheck software accepts data from any diesel engine with standard connectivity to an electronic control module. It reads and captures fault codes, parameter values, lifetime trip data as well as the data plate. QuickCheck allows the user to monitor a range of data from any manufacturer's engine with electronic controls, transmission, braking and vehicle systems.
PowerSpec software is a proprietary application for Cummins engines that allows users to take full advantage of the computing power of this revolutionary handheld device. The "Transfer HotSpec" function gives customers the ability to download and customize engine parameter settings on their own PC. Plus, the QuickCheck 5100 provides a convenient job summary report which can be captured and transferred to a desktop computer for analysis using optional Cummins QuickReports software.
The QuickCheck 5100 is enclosed in a strong case, surrounded by a rubber guard so it's easy to grip and protected from damaging blows. Operating commands are minimal. Its push-button touch-screen navigation is quickly learned and simple to operate. The QuickCheck 5100 is equipped with a large, 97mm LCD screen that is backlit for all viewing conditions.
