Scrutineer
Hope Scrutineer
With the costs of operating and new vehicle costs spiralling, along with the costs associated with the sophisticated systems fitted to today's new vehicles, there is a constant demand to monitor overheads and identify maintenance and breakdown costs quickly and precisely.
Hope is well known for providing innovative equipment for commercial vehicles, and are specialists in the field of commercial vehicle braking. Scrutineer is a world leader in diagnosing air leaks, poor brake adjustment, faults in lighting circuits, ABS and EBS faults and problems with supply circuits.
By allowing brake adjustment to be checked and reset, Scrutineer helps to achieve a better brake balance thus increasing trailer performance and making the tractor/trailer combination more fuel efficient. By using all of the above features, Scrutineer reduces roadside failures and helps pass stringent M.O.T. spot checks.
Scrutineer is a small price to pay for such a huge return in trailer productivity. Our team of experts have applied the most relevant techniques to effectively check trailers quickly and accurately. Our close collaboration with the transport industry has resulted in the Scrutineer being highly regarded for its technical excellence.
From the smallest fleet to trailer manufacturers over 50% of the fleet operators in the UK use the Hope Scrutineer.
The Advantages of Scrutineer
- Scrutineer's proven reliability lowers maintenance costs - giving you increased operating profits.
- Scrutineer is easy to use thanks to its specially designed colour coded control panel.
- Scrutineer eliminates noise and fumes in the workshop.
- Scrutineer is the most comprehensive trailer test unit available.
Hope Compact Scrutineer
The Hope Compact Scrutineer is a portable, re-chargeable 24v trailer tester designed to enable one operator to test complete trailer lighting systems using the 24N and 24S 7pin sockets and to test the ABS and EBS function via the ISO 7638 socket.
The Hope Compact Scrutineer is supplied with 3M leads in a robust lockable weather resistant case and weighs just 9 kgs.
The battery state is constantly monitored, an audible warning will sound to alert the operator that the unit requires re-charging and to prevent the logging of a low voltage fault with the ABS/EBS.
Energy saving relays allow maximum test time before the Hope Compact Scrutineer requires re-charging. If left unattended for longer than 10 minutes the Hope Compact Scrutineer will turn off automatically to save power. The anti lock circuit will remain powered for 60 minutes via the ISO 7638 to allow end of line checks.
Unique auto cycle feature allows the operator to carry out a full lighting circuit check, with the push of one button the Hope Compact Scrutineer will automatically cycle through all the lights.
