3.2.2 Risk of Asphyxiation
Exhaust gas from internal combustion engines, whether they may
be petrol or diesel, are hazardous to your health and can cause
serious harm to your body.
Safety Precautions:
•
•
The workplace must be equipped with an adeguate ventilation and air
extraction system and must be in compliance with standards according to
current national laws.
Always activate the air extraction system when working in closed
environments.
11
3.2.3 Risk of Impact and Crushing
The vehicles which are undergoing A/C system recharging
operations and the devices, must be properly blocked using the
specific mechanical brakes/blocks, while being service.
Safety Precautions:
•
•
•
•
Always make sure that the vehicle is in neutral gear (or that it is set in parking
position in case of a vehicle equipped with automatic transmission).
Always activate the hand brake or parking brake on the vehicle.
Always block the wheels on the vehicle with the specific mechanical blocks.
Make sure the device is stable, on a flat surface and the wheels are locked
with the specific brakes.
3.2.4 Hazards Caused by Moving Parts
Vehicle engines include parts that move, both while running and
not running (eg: the cooling fan is controlled by a thermal switch
in connection with the coolant temperature and become activated
even when the vehicle is off), that can injure the operator.
Safety Precautions:
•
•
•
•
Keep hands away from moving parts.
Disconnect the engine cooling fan each time the engine you are working on
is still hot. This will avoid the fan from becoming activated unexpectedly even

are moving or have just stopped could burn the operator.
Remember that catalytic mufflers reach very high temperatures,
able to cause serious burns or even start fires.
Acid in the vehicle batteries is another potential hazard.
Safety Precautions:
•
•
12
Protect your face, hands, and feet by using suitable protection.
Avoid contact with hot surfaces, such as spark plugs, exhaust pipes,
radiators and connections within the cooling system.
en
•
•
Make sure there are no oil stains, rags, paper or other inflammable material
near the muffler.
Avoid splashing electrolyte on skin, eyes and clothes, as it is a corrosive and
highly toxic compound.

Collect any refrigerant that might have spilled.
Make sure you are always working in an environment equipped with a good
ventilation and air extraction system.
Always activate the air extraction system when working in closed
environments.
Cover the openings of the batteries with a wet cloth in order to stifle the
explosive gases before proceeding in testing or recharging.
Avoid causing sparks when connecting cables to the battery.
3.2.7 Noise Hazard
Loud noises that may occur within the workplace, especially during
service operations may damage the operator's hearing.
Safety Precautions:
•
Protect your ears with suitable protective ear wear.
3.2.8 High Voltage Hazard
The voltage supply from the mains that powers the devices in the
workplace and the voltage within the vehicle starter system is a
potential shock hazard to the operator.

5 ENVIRONMENTAL INFORMATION
For information regarding the disposal of this product please
see the pamphlet supplied.
22
en
6 OPERATION OF THE TOOL'S RADIO DEVICES
Wireless connection with Bluetooth, WiFi and HSUPA technology
Wireless connectivity through Bluetooth, WiFi and HSUPA is a technology
that supplies a standard, reliable method for exchanging information
between different devices using radio waves. Many other products besides
those built by TEXA use this technology, such as mobile phones, portable
devices, Computers, printers, cameras, Pocket PCs etc.
The Bluetooth, WiFi and HSUPA interfaces search for compatible
electronic devices based on the radio signals they emit and establish a
connection. TEXA tools only select and prompt compatible TEXA devices.
This does not exclude the presence of other sources of communication or
disturbance.
THE EFFICIENCY AND QUALITY OF BLUETOOTH, WiFi AND HSUPA
COMMUNICATION MAY BE AFFECTED BY THE PRESENCE OF RADIO
DISTURBANCE. THE COMMUNICATION PROTOCOL IS DESIGNED TO
MANAGE THESE TYPES OF ERRORS; HOWEVER, IN SUCH CASES
COMMUNICATION MAY BE DIFFICULT AND CONNECTION MAY
REQUIRE SEVERAL ATTEMPTS.
SHOULD THE WIRELESS CONNECTION ENCOUNTER SERIOUS
PROBLEMS AND COMPROMISE REGULAR COMMUNICATION, THE
SOURCE
OF
THE
ENVIRONMENTAL
ELECTROMAGNETIC
DISTURBANCE MUST BE IDENTIFIED AND ITS INTENSITY REDUCED.
Position the tool so that the radio devices it is equipped with can work
properly. In particular, do not cover it with any shielding or metallic materials
in general.
23
7 INFORMATION REGARDING REGULATIONS

8 AXONE 4 DISPLAY UNIT
AXONE 4 is the new and most advanced TEXA display unit, inspired and
built for easy and safe use in the most diverse working conditions.
AXONE 4 is designed and built to conform with military drop standards MIL
STD 810F, which means the tool can be used in unconventional working
conditions.
AXONE 4 can be used in exacting environments: inside and outside the
workshop, in agricultural settings, in the mud and the dust, or specifically
in the marine sector.
AXONE 4 is available in two different versions distinguished by different IP
levels:
•
•
IP65: casing completely protected against powder and jets of water.
IP67: casing completely protected against powder and the effects of
immersion in water.
AXONE 4 is fitted with a large touchscreen that allows all the operations
requested by the software to be carried out, and a multifunction key.
The display unit is equipped with an accelerometer which switches a
vertical software view to a horizontal one according to the position of the
device and, thus, the needs of the operator.
AXONE 4 is equipped with a VGA camera with a CMOS sensor which is
useful for photographing, for example, components to be replaced and
spare parts for ordering.
AXONE 4 is designed to exploit the most modern wireless communication
systems thanks to specific inbuilt communication modules.
25
Both AXONE 4 versions are availble in three configurations:
Configuration Bluetooth WiFi GPS HSUPA
Base
GPS
GPS + HSUPA
Thanks to the Bluetooth technology in the AXONE 4 it is possible to work
moving freely around the vehicle, or sitting comfortably inside it.
The Bluetooth module built into the AXONE 4 allows the display unit to
connect to a wide range of diagnosis and measurement tools and devices.
The DUAL CONTOL function allows the AXONE 4 to interface with two
diagnosis devices at once.
26
en
The WiFi module built into the AXONE 4 allows the display unit to connect
to the internet and download updates by connecting to a router/access
point or smartphone.
The GPS module built into the AXONE 4, its navigation software and
attached maps transform the display unit into a useful satellite
navigator.
The HSUPA module built into the AXONE 4 allows the display unit to
connect to the internet without using any other routing devices.
AXONE 4 can also be used alongside different models of docking
stations designed to further increase pratical use.
