On-board computer Multitronics cl 590: main features and customer reviews
Content
The on-board computer Multitronics cl 590 performs most of the functions of a diagnostic scanner. It monitors the parameters of not only the main, but also secondary systems, such as electrical accessories or ABS.
An on-board computer is a device that monitors the status of various vehicle systems. The stores offer different models of such equipment. One of the universal on-board computers is Multitronics cl 590.
On-board computer Multitronics cl 590: description
This multifunctional model supports most diagnostic protocols. It is able to monitor the computer for 200 parameters.
Устройство
Multitronics SL 590 is equipped with a powerful 32-bit processor. Thanks to this, the device works quickly and accurately assesses the condition of the car. It can also be connected to one or two parking aids of the same model. The best compatibility is noted with Multitronics PU-4TC parking sensors.

The equipment has a compact size. For installation, choose the place where the standard central air duct is located. It is in the car:
- Nissan Almera;
- Lada - Largus, Granta;
- Renault-Sandero, Duster, Logan.
In Gazelle Next, the computer is installed on the dashboard in its central part. On other brands of cars, other suitable seats are also found.
Principle of operation
Multitronics cl 590 is connected via the diagnostic block. So he gets access to data on the status of all systems. A detailed description of the installation is in the instructions for the device. The bookmaker compares the information with the data embedded in its software and makes an alert if a discrepancy occurs.
The trip computer immediately displays the error code and its interpretation. This makes it possible to decide whether it is possible to continue driving and whether there is an urgent need to contact the service station.
Equipment
The computer is enclosed in a round case made of durable plastic. It has a built-in color LCD display, the design of which can be adjusted manually.
Control keys are located above and below. Basic settings are made using a PC, to which the Multitronics SL 590 is connected via a USB port.
The kit, in addition to the on-board computer, includes an OBD-2 connecting cable, a special connector with three pins and detailed instructions.
On-board computer capabilities
The on-board computer Multitronics cl 590 performs most of the functions of a diagnostic scanner. It monitors the parameters of not only the main, but also secondary systems, such as electrical accessories or ABS.
The model is also able to accurately determine the remaining fuel for vehicles operating in mixed mode. The switch on the HBO cannot calculate this parameter without a significant error. The device also indicates which type of fuel is being used at a particular moment.
The model has a countdown function. The system analyzes the performance of systems. Graphs are compiled from the data obtained, along which you can move in the opposite direction.
Trip computer
The computer also provides fuel quality monitoring. Tracking is not only fuel consumption, but also the duration of its injection. Thanks to the "Econometer" option, you can calculate the mileage with the remaining fuel in the tank.
This trip computer model is also capable of performing the functions of an oscilloscope. This requires a connection via the Multitronics ShP-2 cable. The device diagnoses malfunctions that are difficult to establish: short circuit, low signal level, wear of parts.
This is possible due to the fact that the equipment monitors the speed of information transfer from sensors. The obtained data are compared with the reference ones. Also BC "Multitronics":
- controls trigger and sweep;
- estimates the amplitudes with which the signals are transmitted;
- measures time intervals.
Working with automatic transmission
Mounting Multitronics cl 590 is recommended for those who want to extend the life of the automatic transmission. The device analyzes its state:
- shows what the temperature in the coolant is in real time;
- gives a warning if the automatic transmission starts to overheat;
- shows what speed is used at a particular moment;
- displays the parameters of the gearbox;
- reads and updates oil aging indicators, warning of the need for an oil change.
Also, the on-board computer reads errors that occur in the automatic transmission control module and resets them after elimination.
Keeping statistics
The device not only reads data, but also keeps statistics. It determines the average parameters of the system parameters for:
- the whole day;
- a specific trip
- refueling.
For mixed-duty vehicles, two types of fuel consumption statistics are kept:
- common;
- separate for petrol and gas.
The average fuel consumption in traffic jams and without them is also displayed.
Setting up the on-board computer
The Multitronics cl 590 on-board computer is easy to set up. Users have the ability to independently set:
- type of diagnostic protocol;
- notification period;
- mileage, upon reaching which it is necessary to report on the passage of MOT;
- fuel tank volume.
You can also choose from which source the parameters will be read:
- turnovers;
- speed;
- switching between gas and petrol consumption;
- remaining fuel;
- fuel consumption rate.

To adjust the settings, you need to connect to a PC. It happens through the mini-USB connector. It can also be used to send files with statistical data to a computer and update the firmware. To connect to a PC, a special program must be installed.
Connecting to external sources
The model connects to the following external sources:
- ignition;
- nozzle;
- a sensor that determines the level of fuel;
- side lights.
Price of the device
The average retail price of BC "Multitronics SL 590" is 7000 rubles. Accessories - parking lot and cable "Multitronics ShP-2" - are purchased separately.
