Safety regulations for the installation
ATTENTION:
The installation of the heater must only be performed by Valeo-
trained personnel.
Electrical work may only be performed by a qualified electrician for
HV systems in motor vehicles, craftsman, activity with repetitive
character. Training acc. to DGUV 200-005 (previously BGI 8686)
Installation, maintenance and repairs may only be carried out when
the vehicle's engine is not running and the high voltage supply is
switched off.
Before starting the work at the heater, it is to make voltageless acc.
to DIN VDE 0105-100 and this state must be ensured for the dura-
tion of the work.
The following safety precautions must be observed:
– switch off the power supply to the heater
– ensure it cannot be switched on again
– verify, system is voltage-free, all poles
– ground and short ( the de-energized circuit)
– cover or block neighbouring parts under voltage
Electrical cables and operating elements of the heater must be ar-
ranged in the vehicle in such a way that their functioning is fault-
less under normal operating conditions and cannot be hampered.
Work at electrical equipment may only be started if protective
measures against electric shock, short circuits and arcing faults
have been carried out.
NOTE:
The provisions of these Regulations are binding within the territory
governed by DGUV Regulations and should similarly be observed in
countries without specific regulations.
Under no circumstances touch the heat exchanger and the water
hoses during operation, in particular when they are overheated due
to lack of water.
Ensure an adequate distance to all surrounding parts and a sufficient
ventilation during installation.
Alternately use fire resistant materials or heat shields (see Statutory
Regulations governing installation, para. 5.3.2.2).
ATTENTION:
Failure to follow the installation instructions and the notes
contained therein will lead to all liability being refused by Valeo.
The same applies if repairs are carried out incorrectly or with the
use of parts other than genuine spare parts. This will result in the
invalidation of the type approval for the heater and therefore of its
ECE Type Approval.
High voltage! Danger to life!
