SAFETY INFORMATION
B001032
•
Pay attention to how lines and cable harnesses are laid so
that you do not drill or saw through them!
•
Do not install the product in the mechanical and electrical
airbag area!
•
Do not drill holes or ports in load-bearing or stabilizing stays
or tie bars!
•
When working underneath the vehicle, secure it according
to the specifications from the vehicle manufacturer.
•
Drill small ports; enlarge and complete them, if necessary,
using taper milling tools, saber saws, keyhole saws or files.
Deburr edges. Follow the safety instructions of the tool
manufacturer.
•
Use only insulated tools, if work is necessary on live parts.
•
Use only the multimeter or diode test lamps provided, to
measure voltages and currents in the vehicle/machine or
boat. Use of conventional test lamps can cause damage to
control units or other electronic systems.
•
The electrical indicator outputs and cables connected to
them must be protected from direct contact and damage.
The cables in use must have enough insulation and electric
strength and the contact points must be safe from touch.
•
Use appropriate measures to also protect the electrically
conductive parts on the connected consumer from direct
contact. Laying metallic, uninsulated cables and contacts is
prohibited.
SAFETY AFTER INSTALLATION
•
Connect the ground cable tightly to the negative terminal of
the battery.
•
Reenter/reprogram the volatile electronic memory values.
•
Check all functions.
•
Use only clean water to clean the components. Note the
Ingress Protection (IP) ratings (IEC 60529).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
•
Note cable cross-sectional area!
•
Reducing the cable cross-sectional area leads to higher
current density, which can cause the cable cross-sectional
area in question to heat up!
•
When installing electrical cables, use the provided cable
ducts and harnesses; however, do not run cables parallel to
ignition cables or to cables that lead to large electricity
consumers.
•
Fasten cables with cable ties or adhesive tape. Do not run
cables over moving parts. Do not attach cables to the
steering column!
•
Ensure that cables are not subject to tensile, compressive or
shearing forces.
•
If cables are run through drill holes, protect them using
rubber sleeves or the like.
•
Use only one cable stripper to strip the cable. Adjust the
stripper so that stranded wires are not damaged or
separated.
•
Use only a soft soldering process or commercially available
crimp connector to solder new cable connections!
•
Make crimp connections with cable crimping pliers only.
Follow the safety instructions of the tool manufacturer.
•
Insulate exposed stranded wires to prevent short circuits.
•
Caution: Risk of short circuit if junctions are faulty or cables
are damaged.
•
Short circuits in the vehicle network can cause fires, battery
explosions and damages to other electronic systems.
Consequently, all power supply cable connections must be
provided with weldable connectors and be sufficiently
insulated.
•
Ensure ground connections are sound.
•
Faulty connections can cause short circuits. Only connect
cables according to the electrical wiring diagram.
•
If operating the instrument on power supply units, note
that the power supply unit must be stabilized and it must
comply with the following standard: DIN EN 61000, Parts 6-
1 to 6-4.
