Safety information Safety information
Avoid electrostatic charge and uncontrolled discharging (ESD):
Note during construction and building the vehicle:
„
Prevent potential differences between components
(e.g. axles) and the vehicle frame (chassis).
„
Make sure that the resistance between metallic parts of the
components and the vehicle frame is less than 10 ohms.
„
Establish an electrically conductive connection between moving or
insulated vehicle parts, such as axles, and the frame.
„
Prevent potential differences between the towing vehicle and the trailer.
„
Make sure that an electrically conductive connection is made between
metal parts in the towing vehicle and the coupled trailer via the coupling
(king pin, fifth wheel, claws with pins), even without a cable being
connected.
„
Use electrically conductive bolted connections when fastening the
ECUs to the vehicle frame.
„
Run the cable in metallic casing if at all possible (e.g. inside the
U-beam) or behind metallic and grounded protective plating to minimise
the influence of electro-magnetic fields.
„
Avoid the use of plastic materials if they can cause electrostatic
charging.
While carrying out repair or welding work on the vehicle, observe the
following:
„
Disconnect the battery (if installed in the vehicle).
„
Disconnect cable connections to devices and components and protect
connectors and ports against contamination.
„
Always connect the grounding electrode directly with the metal next to
the welding point when welding to prevent magnetic fields and current
flow via the cable or components.
„
Make sure that current is well conducted by removing paint or rust.
„
Prevent heat influences on devices and cabling when welding.
