Sealing of the DTCO 1381
Notes
5 - 10
According to CR (EEC) 3821/85, annex I B, the following device parts
must be sealed:
•
Every connection that, if separated, would lead to non-docu-
mentable changes or non-detectable loss of data.
•
The installation plate, unless it is installed in a way that it cannot
be withdrawn without destroying the information it provides.
Note the legal provisions applicable in your country and check
whether further lead-sealing of the EC recording equipment is pre-
scribed.
The German Federal Vehicle Office has granted the EEC design
approval number "e1-84" for the EC recording equipment
DTCO 1381.
The following types of sealing are required by law for the
DTCO 1381 components:
•
Lead sealing to prevent opening of the housing
•
Lead sealing to prevent opening of the battery compartment
•
Sealing to prevent unscrewing of the KITAS 2171 pulse gen-
erator at the transmission
– With sealing wire and two-hole leading
– With KITAS hexagonal leading
•
Sealing of the installation plate (sealing foil)
Observe the following notes when sealing the DTCO 1381 compo-
nents:
•
When sealing, use only original tools from Siemens VDO Auto-
motive and the sealing parts available as accessories.
•
The components can be lead-sealed during the individual oper-
ating steps.
•
It may not be possible to remove or decommission the elements
secured by the seal without destroying the seal or causing rec-
ognizable damage.
•
When sealing, note especially that:
– the sealing pliers are properly adjusted and the assigned seal
number is used,
– the seal wire is short so that the connections cannot be
unscrewed;
– the seal wire will not cause short circuits
