When installing the DTCO 1381 (ADR variant) into a vehicle used for
the carriage of dangerous goods, the following instructions must be
complied with:
•
The DTCO 1381 was designed for installation in a radio com-
partment. In order to preserve the protection afforded by the
housing of the ADR variant, installation is permitted in a radio
compartment only.
•
Circuits that carry current continuously must comply with the
regulations of the usual EN standards to the explosion pro-
tection and of ADR.
•
No additional units or loads may be connected to the intrinsi-
cally-safe electrical circuit.
•
All electrical wires must be fastened well and placed in a way
that protects them from mechanical and thermal stress.
•
Electrical wires outside of the driver's compartment must be pro-
tected against impact, wear, and abrasions when the vehicle is
in operation. This can be achieved by means of:
– a protective covering or corrugated tubing made of
polyamide
– a protective covering or corrugated tubing made of poly-
urethane
– metal wire mesh with inner and outer wrappings.
•
Plug connections must be locked in place in order to prevent
unintended loosening.
•
The zone approval or zone division must be observed for the
safety device.
•
The length of the sensor cable may not exceed 20 meters.
•
When connecting external devices to the download-, remote or
info interface (pin D8) of the DTCO 1381 the "Requirements for
the connection of external devices" on page 5 are to be con-
sidered.
Please note!
Only authorized repair centers may perform repairs to the
DTCO 1381 and the KITAS 2171!
Never attempt to open or make changes to the DTCO 1381 and the
KITAS 2171.
