The Rotrix TSH-005 is a professional diagnostic tool specifically designed for the fast and accurate testing of 12V and 24V solenoid starter relays (magnetic switches). This device is essential for service centers and workshops that need to reliably diagnose the most common causes of starter motor failure.
The flexibility of the Rotrix TSH-005 allows measurements to be carried out under a variety of conditions:
On-site diagnostics: Testing of the 12V/24V solenoid starter relay directly in the vehicle, while installed.
Workshop testing (as an assembly): When placed on a test bench with the starter motor disassembled.
Standalone testing: The solenoid relay can also be checked independently, disconnected from the starter motor.
This versatility ensures that troubleshooting can be done in the most appropriate manner, minimizing downtime.
The TSH-005 tester is capable of measuring the critical parameters of the magnetic starter switch, which are essential for determining proper operation:
| Measurement Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Pull-in Current | Determines whether the relay receives enough current to close the internal contacts and move the plunger. |
| Holding Current | Measures the current draw after the relay is already closed, ensuring stable contact between the contacts. |
| Voltage Drop | Voltage drop measured across the power contacts, which indicates the condition of the contacts and the internal resistance. |
In the design of the Rotrix TSH-005, user-friendliness and reliable performance were the focus:
Compact Design: The device's small dimensions allow it to be easily portable and stored, making it ideal for mobile diagnostic tasks.
Intuitive Operation: The user-friendly menu system makes starting the testing process and modifying settings extremely simple.
Setting Reference Parameters: It is possible to set the parameters of the reference unit. This is especially useful when diagnosing same-type starter motor solenoids, ensuring consistent and comparable results.
Modern User Interface: The device with a 4.3-inch color touchscreen which provides clear visual feedback on the measured data.
Software updates: The availability of the latest software versions guarantees that the tester always remains up-to-date to support the newest vehicle technologies.

The solenoid relay is a crucial component of the starter motor. If it fails, the starting process will fail. With the TSH-005 tester, mechanics can quickly distinguish between true mechanical failures and simple electrical problems.
A pull-in current its measurement immediately reveals if the relay coil is weak or broken, or if the mechanical resistance is too high. The holding current check helps to identify contact burning or an increase in internal resistance, which can lead to overheating and further failure over time. The voltage drop measurement is the most accurate indicator regarding contact quality.
Testing with the device significantly reduces unnecessary parts replacements as it shows precisely whether the solenoid can be repaired or needs replacement. Furthermore, the ability to set reference values allows workshops to establish their own internal quality standards for inspection processes.
This Rotrix device offers a reliable and efficient solution tailored to the needs of modern vehicle repair for the diagnostics of 12V/24V starter motor relays.
