Safety Precautions
2.1.3 Safety Precautions for High Voltage/Line Voltage
Very high voltages occur in electrical systems. Due to voltage flashover on damaged components,
such as marten damage or touching live components, the risk of electric shock is likely. Voltage
flashover can occur e.g. on the primary and secondary side of the ignition system, the connection
to the vehicle, the lighting systems or the wiring harness with plug connections. Therefore
observe the following:
• Only use power supply cables with grounding contact.
• Only use a checked or the attached power cord.
• Always use the original cable set.
• Do not exceed the voltage limits indicated on the connecting cables.
• The voltage values to be measured must be shielded extra or even twice from dangerous line
voltage. The voltage limits printed on the test leads must not be exceeded. Pay attention that
the allowed measuring range of 60 V/DC / 42 V peak is not exceeded when measuring positive
and negative voltage at the same time.
• Regularly check cables and adapters for damage.
• Perform any assembly work such as the connection of the MT 56 to the vehicle or the
replacement of components only when ignition is switched off.
• Do not touch live components when working with ignition switched on.
2.1.4 Safety Precautions – Risk Of Injury
When working on the vehicle, there is a risk of injury through rotating parts or rolling of the
vehicle. Therefore observe the following:
• Protect vehicle against rolling away.
• Additionally place selector lever of automatic transmission vehicles to park position.
• Deactivate the start/stop system to avoid an inadvertent engine start.
• Connect the MT 56 to the vehicle only with engine shut down.
• Do not reach into rotating components when engine is running.
• Do not run cables near rotating parts.
• Check the high-voltage parts for damage.
2.1.5 Safety Precautions Regarding the Risk of Pinching/Crushing
Pay attention not to pinch or crush any limbs when removing/inserting the MT 56 in the mega
macs 56 and MT-HV. Therefore regard the following:
• Pay attention not to reach into the danger zone when inserting the module into the device.
