An Easier Option for Monitoring Engines
Cummins Inc. introduces QuickCheck 5100, the next generation of QuickCheck engine information tools. This new product brings the power of a portable computer and proprietary engine monitoring software into one hand-held device.

The QuickCheck 5100 is a self-contained device that makes capturing and reading engine data faster and easier. It connects to any electronic engine via standard J1587 or J1939 data links with supplied six- or nine-pin cables. A supplied USB cable can be used to link the device to a desktop PC.

The unit runs on the Windows CE operating system and is pre-loaded with QuickCheck CE and PowerSpec CE applications. QuickCheck CE allows the user to monitor a range of data from any manufacturer's engine with electronic controls, transmission, braking and vehicle systems. PowerSpec CE is a proprietary application for Cummins engines. Its Transfer HotSpec function allows you to download and customize engine parameter settings on your own PC.

In addition, the QuickCheck 5100 can provide a convenient trip summary report compiled for 10 data fields. This data can be captured, then transferred to a desktop computer for analysis using optional Cummins QuickReports software.
