Komatsu WA380-8, Operation & Maintenance Manual, Page: 5 / 432

Electrical and electronic equipment and/or components which have been installed subsequently, emit electro-
magnetic radiation which can influence the function of the electronic components and sections of the machine.
This can have an influence on the safety of the machine and endanger persons. For this reason, please ensure
that the following safety instructions are observed.
If you are installing electrical or electronic equipment and/or components in the machine and connect them to
the vehicle electrical system, you must check at own responsibility that the installations do not cause any dis-
turbance to the vehicle’s electronic system or other components. Above all, you must ensure that any subse-
quently installed electrical and electronic components comply with the EMV Directive 2004/108/EC in its current
edition and bear the CE mark.
The following requirements also have to be met for subsequent installation of mobile communication systems
(e.g. radio, telephone):
• Only equipment approved by national legislation (e.g. BZT approval for Germany) may be used.
• The unit must be fixed in position.
• Portable or mobile units may only be used inside the vehicles if they are connected to a fixed outside anten-
na.
• The transmitter unit must be spatially separated from the vehicle’s electronic system.
• Make sure when installing the antenna that this is installed correctly with good earth connection between
antenna and vehicle mass.
Also observe Komatsu and manufacturer’s installation instructions for wiring, installation and maximum permit-
ted power consumption.
