4.2 Installation of the MVCD control unit
• Select an installation location that is not subject to
excessive vibrations.
• Do not install the unit next to a heat source.
• If installed externally, avoid areas subject to an
increased risk of contamination.
• Ensure all plug connectors are easily accessible.
• Use the standard safety socket covers, included as a
standard, and plug them into outlets that are not being
used.
4.3 Installation of monitor
• Always install the monitor outside of the effective area
of the air bags and head impact zone; otherwise there
is a risk of severe injuries.
• Avoid installation positions that restrict the direct view.
• If possible, select an installation position that allows the
driver a direct view from the front and at the same time
provides unobstructed access to all controls.
• Ensure the mounting area is vibration-free.
• If making vehicle-specific brackets, ensure the stability
of the support and the mount is adequate.
4.4 Laying cables
CAREFUL
Damage to the vehicle’s body!
Improper and unsuitable drilling holes can damage the
bodywork and cables.
• Only drill in places without cable runs.
• ensure to protect drill holes with corrosion protection.
CAREFUL
Damage to cables!
Cables can be damaged by mechanical devices or
chemicals.
• Never paint the cable or bring in contact with solvents
of any kind.
• Never install cables near a heat source.
• Compliance with installation instructions is
mandatory.
Since the installation of the cables depends on the
respective vehicle, only general information on cable
routing can be provided.
If in doubt, consult with the vehicle manufacturer to
determine the best possible route.
4.4.1 Preparing for laying
In order to install the cables, you must drill cable glands at
this step and install cable ducts or cable conduits to protect
the cables.
1. Pilot-drill each cable feed-through and then drill the
hole to the required diameter.
2. Deburr all cable feed-through.
3. Drill holes for cable ducts.
4. Install cable ducts or cable conduits.
4.4.2 Laying cables
1. Use cable ties to secure cables and to minimize
mechanical stress
2. If the cables are too long install the cables in loops,
taking into account the minimum installation radii.
