3.3 Communication interfaces
In addition to the USB connection, a Bluetooth or WLAN interface is available for
communication with the computer system, depending on the model of the device.
The Bluetooth interface is based on the Bluetooth standard V2.0 and has the
following properties:
•
•
•
High data rate (max. 2Mbit/s)
Pico net and scatter net
WLAN coexistence (802.11) support (adaptive frequency hopping)
The alternative WLAN interface supports the IEEE 802.11g standard and is
backwards compatible with existing 802.11b installations.
When using several BlueVCIs at the same location, the devices can be differentiated
from one another by one’s own identification. An area is available on the top of the
housing in which an own label can be attached for identification purposes.

Mechanical design
Mechanical design
The BlueVCI housing is made of two plastic shells that are held together by four
TORX screws. The parts of the housing made of soft plastic (soft components)
protect the device against shocks, prevent damages to surfaces and make it easier
to handle.
The housing cover is held in place by two hexagon socket screws (width 2 mm) and
can be removed to replace the OCA (see figure 4.1).
The rating plate, specifying order and serial number and rated voltage, and a safety
notice label are attached to the base of the housing.
Figure 4-1 Mechanical design and assembly
To open the BlueVCI, unscrew the two hexagon socket screws, carefully lift off the
cover and remove the OCA by lifting it slightly and pulling it forward out of the
housing.
Note
Further dismantling of the BlueVCI voids the warranty.

5.1 Startup
Before using the BlueVCI several software settings must be configured. That is done
by the diagnostic software. Please contact your supplier of the diagnostic software for
further information.
5.2 Operation
1.
2.
3.
Connect the BlueVCI to the diagnostic interface on a vehicle. The LED must be
continuously lit in green.
If necessary, connect the USB cable. The LED blinks green. Establishing a USB
connection disconnects any existing Bluetooth or WLAN connection.
Perform vehicle diagnosis by using the diagnostic software installed on the
computer system.
Please find further information about operation in the documentation of your
diagnostic software supplier.

Troubleshooting and Self-Test
Troubleshooting and Self-Test
The BlueVCI was tested before leaving the factory. Carefully selected components
and performance of comprehensive quality inspections guarantee that the BlueVCI is
extremely reliable. However, if a fault should occur, refer to the information provided
in this section.
You should attempt to identify and localize the fault as accurately as possible. Follow
the solutions presented and perform all of the actions described.
6.1 Self-Test
Handling and sequence of the BlueVCI self-test are performed with the diagnostic
software application. The test adapter cable is required to do this. The power supply
is ensured by the USB connection.
6.2 Symptoms, causes and solutions
Symptom
LED continuously
lit in green.
Possible cause
Communication link lost.
Solution
Attempt to establish a different
type of communication link.
See also for specific instructions
of the diagnostic application
supplier.
LED 3 flashing red. Excess temperature in
Communication link BlueVCI during operation
interrupted.
Disconnect the BlueVCI from the
diagnostic interface and, if
applicable the USB connection
and allow it to cool.
LED constantly lit
in yellow.
Unable to start firmware.
Disconnect the BlueVCI from all
connections and re-connect.
LED constantly lit

Maintenance and support
7.1 Visual inspection
Perform a regular visual inspection of the BlueVCI. Inspect all parts for damages e.g.
breakages and dirt.
Regularly check the device, all cables and the accessories for damage.
If the housing is dirty, clean it with a lint-free moist (not wet) cloth.
7.2 Firmware update
To update the firmware, a corresponding update file must be stored on the computer
system. The update is done under the control of the diagnostic application software.
7.3 Replacing the diagnostic plug
The diagnostic plug is attached to the BlueVCI with two hexagon socket screws and
can easily be replaced in case of damage (see section 4).
Note
Further dismantling of the BlueVCI voids the warranty.
