CAUTION – cables – overload
Risk of injury
¶
Make sure that any cable
connected to a power source
with the potential of high cur-
rents, such as a 12 V automoti-
ve battery, is in good condition.
VDI III is protected by its own
internal protection device. A
fault in the cable itself, espe-
cially a power-to-ground short,
might create a hazardous situa-
tion that may cause injury.
CAUTION – loopback self-test
adapter – overload
Risk of injury

Do not apply power to VDI III
through the self-test adapter
barrel connector unless the
circuit is protected by a fuse,
circuit breaker or power supply
with a current limiter. The fuse,
circuit breaker or power supply
with a current limiter must be
set to no more than 3 A.
