Frequently Asked Questions - 4954-2 Hazet

What is the Hazet 4954-2 brake fluid tester used for?

The Hazet 4954-2 is used to measure the wet boiling point of brake fluid to determine moisture content and contamination. This helps assess whether the brake fluid needs to be replaced.

How do I connect the tester to a car battery?

Connect the negative terminal (-) first, then the positive terminal (+) of the battery connection cable to the car battery. Ensure the battery voltage is 12 V.

What does error code E-1 mean?

E-1 indicates no fluid or insufficient fluid on the probe. The heating process stops automatically. Ensure the probe is submerged to the 'To The Line' marking and repeat the test.

What does error code E-2 mean?

E-2 indicates a voltage error: either below 10.8 V or above 15.7 V. Check the battery and connections. If voltage is normal and error persists, contact service.

What does error code E-3 mean?

E-3 indicates a problem with the probe or connection cable. Please contact Hazet service center for assistance.

How do I perform a calibration check?

Use clean water instead of brake fluid. If the tester is accurate, it should display 100 °C (212 °F) (boiling point of water). Perform this test periodically to verify accuracy.

How long does a test take?

The heating process takes approximately 19 to 30 seconds. Keep the power button pressed until the test completes, indicated by a beep and yellow indicator lamp.

Can I test brake fluid directly in the vehicle?

Yes, testing directly on the vehicle is permissible if there is space, but using the supplied test container is recommended for accurate results. Ensure proper fluid level.

How do I clean the tester after use?

Allow the brake fluid to drip off the probe, then wash it with clean water and wipe it dry. Do not submerge the probe past the 'To The Line' marking. Also wipe the test container and syringe.

What are the storage requirements?

Store the tool in a dry, dust-free place away from liquids and aggressive substances. Keep out of reach of children. Temperature range: -10 °C to +40 °C, max. 60% relative humidity.

1. Never use the tester without fluid!

2. Do not press the power button if the probe is not submerged to the required fluid level.

3. Make sure the fluid level does not exceed the position TO THE LINE during the test. If an abnormal situation comes up during the test, terminate the battery connection immediately.

4. Use the supplied test container to get accurate test results. Testing directly on the vehicle is also permissible if there is space.

1. Clean the tester before each test. Cleaning: When the test is complete, allow the rest of the brake fluid to drip off the probe, wash it with clean water and wipe it dry. Do not dip the probe into water over the "To The Line" marking. Wipe the test container and syringe dry and carefully place them back into the supplied case.

Instructions

Voltage detection

1. Make sure the battery voltage is 12 V.
2. Connect the battery connection cable as described above with the car battery.

Electrical energy may cause serious injuries! Always wear personal protective equipment!

3. LCD display.

• If the battery is weak, the tester does not activate and the indicator lamp lights up red.
• Energy-saving design: After 1 minute without action, the tester shuts off automatically to save energy.
• Burn protection: If a test is conducted without the probe touching the fluid, "E-1" is displayed and the heating process is stopped. This is a safety concept used to protect the tool.
• If there is no action after the battery is connected, make sure that the battery connection cable is connected to the correct battery terminal.

Preparing the test fluid

1. The indicator lamp lights up red in standby mode. Press the power button to heat the brake fluid and keep it pressed until the test is complete. It takes about 19 to 30 seconds.

1. During the heating process, the LED flashes GREEN and the display (right) moves.
2. The tester emits a short beep after the test is completed. The result of the boiling point temperature is shown on the LCD display.
3. The indicator lamp lights up yellow when the test is completed. Wait until the light is red before starting the test again.

Display of operational failures

E-1: means there is no or insufficient fluid

Notes

If the tester is used without touching the fluid, "E-1" is displayed and the heating process is stopped. This is the security measure used to protect the tester.
② The indicator lamp lights up yellow and emits a longer beep.
③ Release the power button. TEMP> 320 °C / 608 °F fades out and only "E-1" is displayed. After approx. 1 minute, the display automatically fades out on the screen.
4 Reconnect the battery in order to use the tester again. If the problem persists, please contact our service center.

Electrical energy may cause serious injuries! Always wear personal protective equipment!

Display without pressing the power button
