The Jaltest WST (50004011) is a stand-alone tester for brake pad wear sensors. It carries the OE reference K154433N50 from Knorr-Bremse. The device measures 144 x 66 x 40 mm, weighs 193 grams and has an LCD display, a rotary switch and a single socket for the supplied cables.

You disconnect the plug at the brake caliper and connect the matching cable there. The rotary switch selects the sensor type, after which the display shows the measured voltage in volts. You compare that value with the reference table, which gives the wear percentage of the pad. This is done without dismantling, so you can use the brake pad until it is fully worn.

ADVANTAGES

✔Reads the actual position of the sensor as voltage in volts, not just good or bad.
✔Works without dismantling the brake caliper or brake pad, so you can use the pad completely.
✔The rotary switch has dedicated positions for continuous sensors from the major brands and for 2-wire sensors.
✔Supplied complete in a case with foam insert, with a set of brand-specific connection cables, weighing approximately 1,270 grams in total.

POINTS TO NOTE

✕This tester is for wear sensors. For the speed sensors of the braking system, the SST (50004002) is the corresponding device.
✕The voltage reading does not mean anything on its own. You need the reference table for the relevant brand to turn it into a wear level.
✕No measuring range, accuracy or battery type has been published, so these are not listed here.
✕The device does not replace a visual inspection of the brake pad, brake disc and pistons.

Applications and functions

With this tester you read out a wear sensor while it remains fitted to the vehicle. You do not need a Jaltest Link or a computer. The layout of the display, LEDs and rotary switch is shown on the instruction card in the lid of the case.

What is in the case

  • WST (50004011): Tester with display.
  • Connection cables: Brand-specific connectors.
  • Instruction card: Display, LEDs and switch.
  • Case: With cut-out foam insert.

What you can do

  • Measuring voltage: Read in volts.
  • Selecting sensor type: Using the rotary switch.
  • Determining wear: Using the reference table.
  • Following the LEDs: Good, fault and battery.
  • Without dismantling: Measure at the brake caliper.

How to use it

  1. Choosing the cable: Use the cable for the correct brand.
  2. Connecting: Disconnect the sensor plug and connect.
  3. Selecting the position: Set the switch to the sensor type.
  4. Reading: Read the voltage on the display.
  5. Comparing: Look up the value in the reference table.

Compatible sensors and applications

The sensor type is decisive, not the vehicle. The rotary switch lets you choose between continuous sensors and 2-wire sensors. In the wrong position you get a value that does not belong to the sensor and that the reference table cannot translate.

Positions on the rotary switch:

  • Continuous sensors from DAF, Iveco, Mercedes-Benz, Scania and others: A dedicated position.
  • Continuous sensors from MAN and Meritor: A second position.
  • 2-wire sensors: A third position, for sensors that only give a signal at the end of the pad thickness.
  • Off: The extreme position switches the device off.

Brands in the cable set:

  • Connection cables: Renault, Volvo, Scania, Mercedes-Benz, Knorr-Bremse, DAF, EvoBus, Iveco, Hyundai, MAN and Wabco.

Continuous or 2-wire:

  • Continuous sensor: Changes with the wear over the entire range and gives an intermediate reading at any moment.
  • 2-wire sensor: Only gives a signal when the pad reaches the wear limit, and nothing before that.

Wear sensor or speed sensor

Both sensors are located at the wheel, but they measure different things. If you know which of the two you have, you also know which tester belongs with it.

  • Wear sensor: Fitted in the brake pad and reports how much material remains. This is the sensor the WST is designed for.
  • Speed sensor: Sits opposite a toothed ring on the wheel hub and passes the rotational speed to the braking system. The Jaltest (50004002) | SST (Speed Sensor Tester) is intended for this.
  • Difference in signal: A wear sensor produces a value that varies with the thickness of the pad; a speed sensor produces an alternating signal that rotates with the wheel.
💡
Good to know: During fitting, the height difference of the pressure pieces must remain below 0.25 mm. In addition, observe the vehicle manufacturer's instructions, and check that the rotary switch is set to the position that corresponds to the sensor type before reading the value.
