3 Thank you for purchasing the ChassisEar electronic stethoscope Bluetooth. This is a diagnostic tool. You will find in the following paragraphs the ideal method to use it. However as any diagnostic tool it allows to pinpoint a default or mechanical failure. The interpretation of it is still within your realm. Only use and experiment of this tool will help you refine your prognosis. Do not perform this diagnosis alone. You must be helped by a driver during the test. Installation of Software Download BlueSoleil driver zipped file and the CHASSISEAR -NVH app at: steelmanpro.com/bt-chassisear Make sure you have administrative rights during installation Connect USB Bluetooth Dongle Unzip the BlueSoleil driver Run setup from Unzipped Directory/BlueSoleil Driver/Install. Follow the instructions to install the BlueSoleil Driver. After Driver install, it may be necessary to restart your device/computer. Run the CHASSISEAR -NVH setup file, this will install CHASSISEAR -NVH Return to the Quick Set-up Guide instructions, Step 7 1

4 Initializing Program and Interface Window To initiate application, click the Steelman PRO CHASSISEAR -NVH shortcut from the desktop of your Windows device Once the application has finished loading, it will take you to the user interface where the user will be able to navigate throughout the application USER INTERFACE 2

5 Pairing Bluetooth Modules Click on the CHASSISEAR -NVH button Switch power on for Bluetooth Module by inserting into either the Sound Wand or Sensor Clamps. Ensure Modules are fully charged before each use. NOTE: The lights on the Bluetooth Modules will flash RED and BLUE intermittently to show the Modules are powered on, and app is initiated A Bluetooth Setup window will pop up. Click on the button to initiate pairing. A list of discoverable devices will appear. For ease of pairing, each Bluetooth Module has its serial number printed on the back. It may take up to 15 seconds to have all powered Bluetooth Modules show up after clicking the button. Next, designate a channel for each Bluetooth Module by clicking the box next to the device name. A drop-down box of channels will appear where each Module will be assigned its own color code. At this point, each Module can be fitted with the corresponding Color Boot for each channel, if not done so already. Once each Bluetooth Module has been assigned a designated channel, they can be connected to the device by clicking the button. In addition, the Bluetooth Module lights will begin flashing BLUE intermittently. If it does not turn BLUE, please go back to start all over again (from Click on the CHASSISEAR -NVH button ). If it still does not work, restart the BlueSoleil application. If connection is successful, the Choose Audio Output window will appear Choose an Audio Output preference. You may select either PC speakers or headphones. If sound is not working on the selected audio output, you must re-pair the devices and choose another audio device. Re-pair devices by clicking the button and follow the steps from the beginning of this page (to start re-pairing, the user must disconnect the Bluetooth Modules and then reconnect to begin the pairing process again). After initial setup, each time the software is restarted, it will automatically reconnect old pairings Return to Quick Set-up Guide to complete setup, Step 8. 3

Available locations include: Front, Left-Front, Right-Front, Left-Rear, Right-Rear, or Rear. Click when desired location is set to save that location Create clamp locations for each of the other corresponding channels to be used in the test in the same manner as previously described To reset clamp location names, click the button to clear all previously selected locations When finished assigning channel locations, close the window to return to the user interface 11 CHANNEL LOCATION SETUP WINDOW

15 Isolating Specific Sounds Using FFT Graph and Equalizer As any diagnostic tool it allows to pinpoint a default or mechanical failure. The interpretation of it is still within your realm. Only use and experiment of this tool will help you refine your prognosis. Using a combination of the graphing features and the equalizer allows Steelman PRO CHASSISEAR -NVH to enhance or mute specific sounds. By isolating frequencies, sounds that you want to hear can be enhanced, while other sounds can be eliminated. To isolate sounds, select FFT Graph from the Wave Form Type dropdown menu on the user interface. The FFT Graph displays the entire spectrum of sound on the active channel. The horizontal axis of the graph shows which frequency a particular sound occupies. The vertical axis shows the decibel level of the sound. The highest point on the graph indicates the frequency with the most prominent sound. FFT GRAPH Using data from the FFT Graph, the equalizer can be used to hone in on sounds. On the User Interface, click the button. In a separate window, the equalizer will open. Each slider on the equalizer represents a range of sound frequency that can be amplified or reduced. Based on the frequency you identified on the FFT graph, manipulate the sliders until other noises are eliminated and the sound you want to listen more closely to is the only sound you can hear. 13 EQUALIZER

20 Charging Instructions To charge the Bluetooth Modules, use the 5VDC 2A wall charger. Plug the 5.5mm male plug into the back of the Docking Station. The BLUE light indicator should light up to indicate that the Docking Station has power. Next, plug in the Bluetooth Modules into the Docking Station. The GREEN indicator lights should light up indicating that the Bluetooth Modules are charging. Once the Bluetooth Modules are fully charged, the GREEN indicator lights should dim down indicating that the Bluetooth Modules are in standby mode and ready for use. Allow 2-3 hours for the Bluetooth Modules to charge for the first time to ensure that they are fully charged. 18
