(1) be a manufacturer's model certified by NYSDEC as having satisfactorily demonstrated an acceptable ability to comply with the recommended test standard contained in SAE J1667;

(2) at a minimum, have the ability to measure, where appropriate, and print out the following:

(3) The smokemeter shall be capable of:

(1) Determine the engine horsepower from the engine identification plate or engine serial number. Refer to Table 2 of this Subpart and input the nominal stack size into the smokemeter. If the engine identification plate is missing, inaccessible or illegible, measure the outside diameter of the exhaust pipe extending from the exhaust manifold with a precision caliper or equivalent gauge, rounding to the nearest inch.

(2) During an annual emissions inspection only, performed at an ODEIS:

(3) Affix the smokemeter according to the instructions of the manufacturer to the end of the exhaust pipe of the vehicle. For full-flow smokemeters, ensure that the final two feet and the exit of exhaust pipe is straight, with an internal diameter not to exceed five inches. Appropriate exhaust pipe adapters shall be used as necessary to comply with these specifications. Do not use full-flow smokemeters on vehicles with underbody exhaust pipes which direct the exhaust flow to the ground unless the exhaust gases are redirected away from the ground by the appropriate exhaust pipe adaptor mentioned above.

(4) Ensure that the vehicle is restrained to prevent the vehicle from moving during the test.

(5) Ensure that the smokemeter is warmed up and calibrated according to the instructions of the manufacturer. Initiate the test sequence on the smokemeter.

(6) Select the appropriate smoke opacity pass/fail standards, set forth at Table 1 of the Subpart, based upon the engine model year. If using a full-flow smokemeter, enter the engine horsepower and stack diameter as measured from the vehicle exhaust stack.

(7) If using a smokemeter without horsepower input, select the appropriate stack size from Table 2 of this Subpart, based upon the engine horsepower of the vehicle.

(8) With each prompt from the smokemeter to accelerate engine, ensure the accelerator pedal is rapidly depressed to the floor and held there until prompted by the smokemeter to release the pedal. For those vehicles with electronic engine controls, engine diagnostic equipment should be used to allow acceleration to governed speed.

(9) Repeat procedures described in paragraph (8) of this subdivision at least four more times. This shall include, at a minimum, two preliminary snap accelerations to remove loose soot from the exhaust system for a stabilized reading, and a minimum of three snap accelerations for the official test, the average of which shall constitute the final test result.

(10) The pass/fail determination shall be based upon three valid smoke opacity test results averaged arithmetically and compared to the pass/fail standards appropriate for the engine model year.

(11) Issue a printout including the items listed in paragraph (a)(2) of this section.

(1) an engine oil temperature sensor; and

(2) an engine RPM sensor.
