For detailed information about cabling, see the User's Guide of the module.
Requirements for the place of installation
• Place the module or the module block on a smooth, even and firm foun
-
dation.
• The module or module block must always be securely fastened.
Requirements on the ventilation
• Keep the module away from heat sources and protect it against direct
exposure to the sun.
• The free space above and behind the module must be selected so that
sufficient air circulation is ensured.
Fixing the module on a carrier system
When selecting the carrier system, observe the static and dynamic forces that
could be created by the module or the module block at the carrier system.
CAUTION
Potential equalization in the vehicle is possible via the shield of the con
-
necting cables of the modules!
Install the modules only at locations with the same electrical potential or iso
-
late the modules from the installation location.
CAUTION
Damage or destruction of the module is possible.
The modules of series ES400 are approved only for installation and operation
at components or locations that ensure compliance with the technical data of
the modules, such as:
• the resistance to vibration of the modules (for example, install modules
only on spring-loaded bodies, not on wheel suspensions or directly at the
motor) and
• the temperature resistance of the modules (for example, do not install
modules on the motor, turbocharger, exhaust manifold or their environ
-
ments).
CAUTION
During the installation of the modules, observe the permissible temperature
range of the cable ties being used!
