• Drill small openings first, then enlarge them with a cone cutter, hole saw, jigsaw
or file, if necessary. Deburr sharp edges. Always observe the safety instructions
of the tool manufacturer.
• If it is necessary to work without interrupting the power supply, always use an
insulated tool.
• To measure voltage and current in the vehicle, machine or ship, always use
multimeters or diode test lamps specially designed for this purpose. Using con-
ventional test lamps can damage control units or other electronic systems.
• Ensure that the electrical outputs of the display unit and the cables connected
to it are protected against direct contact and damage. This means that the ca-
bles used must have sufficient insulation or voltage stability and the contact
points must be protected against contact.
• Also take appropriate measures to ensure that the electrically conductive parts
of the connected loads are protected against direct contact. Use of bare metal
cable and contacts is not permitted.
