Scan tool upgrade

Put Hella’s innovation to work highlighting your vehicle’s good looks

HELLA HAS PUT ITS STRIKING LED LIGHT PIPE TECHNOLOGY TO WORK TO CREATE AN INNOVATIVE POSITION LIGHT INTEGRATED WITH A POWERFUL HIGH-BEAM LIGHT BAR

This new light bar is the natural choice when exceptional durability and long-term reliability are needed.

Hella’s range of award-winning LED Light Bars provide additional light and are approved for use in New Zealand and Australia with ECE compliance (two lamps).

The sleek, low-profile housings are designed and precision manufactured using ultra-durable materials to ensure good looks, long life, and value for money.

Multivolt circuitry means the dual function lamp will automatically recognise either 12V or 24V DC systems, while only consuming 36W on high beam. Any input between 9-33 volts offers optimum brightness.

The adjustable mounting system ensures easy installation and flexibility for any orientation, but naturally the lightbar must be mounted and operated in accordance with regulations governing high beam and position lamps. They feature Hella’s proven durability and long-term reliability.

Built for all weather and conditions, the light bar is hermetically sealed making it completely dust and waterproof to the IP6K7 standard. The housing is precision moulded using a revolutionary noncorrosive, thermally conductive polymer material that delivers unmatched corrosion resistance and toughness. This eliminates any potential issues like rust or powder coating flaking off. The scalloped design is also easy to clean as there are no cavities which can get clogged with dirt, unlike traditional light bars with thin heat fins.

Designed and manufactured in New Zealand for fit-and-forget peace of mind, the completely sealed Hella LED Light Bar series is covered by a five-year warranty.

New Zenith Z5 scan tool from EZDS

NEW SCAN TOOL LAUNCHES WITH NEW ZEALAND MARKET SOFTWARE TO FILL G-SCAN 3 SUPPLY GAP CREATED BY HARDWARE SHORTAGES

For the past 12 years, EZDS has developed the software for the leading scan tool product range in Australia and New Zealand, G-Scan. However, G-Scan 3 production and supply has been interrupted because of worldwide Covid lockdowns, shipping delays, and shortages of silicon chips. This has led EZDS to partner with another Korean worldclass premium hardware supplier, Bluebird (nope, not the potato chips) to create the new Zenith Z5.

Repco’s diagnostic sales and training manager Dean Guilford says the product name may be unfamiliar but many professional automotive repairers will know of EZDS, without knowing exactly what their role is.

What this means for existing G-Scan users is that the Zenith Z5 will feel comfortable and familiar, even though it has improved and enhanced features. An example of this in the Zenith Z5 software is the Kia/Hyundai program, which has been converted to the same menu layout as other car brands, instead of working the same as OEM Kia/Hyundai products. That will be an improvement in consistency welcomed by most. Other Zenith Z5 features include a fast service menu, vehicle report creation, ADAS calibration functions, J2534 pass-through programming, key programming, hybrid and electric special functions, fast data logging and recording, and advanced petrol and diesel special function coverage.

In line with demand from automotive professionals in various world markets including Japan, EZDS has opted for an ergonomic, lightweight, ruggedised tablet with an 8-inch Eyellumicate display. The 8-inch field optimised display offers high resolution and performance in bright sunlight. The touchscreen is designed to work when the operator is wearing gloves.

EZDS’s software has extensive Japanese vehicle coverage, which makes it particularly suitable for the New Zealand market’s second-hand import fleet, 24V HD applications, along with near OEM level Kia/Hyundai Korean software. All this, says Dean, is combined with the accurate and reliable high-level software for Australian, European, USA, Chinese, and other world market vehicles carried over to the Zenith Z5.

These products continue to be fully supported by two years of free software updates, a one-year warranty, and a repair service. The Z5 is imported and supported by Mount AutoEquip Services, the G-Scan and Zenith distributor for Oceania.

Dean recommends the latest Zenith Z5 to any customers looking for a new diagnostic scan tool and especially those who had been considering the G-Scan 3. “The Zenith Z5 is great value for money offering premium hardware, the same trusted, highend, advanced universal software, backed by the same professional, local technical support team, and it comes at a lower price,” he says.
