Safety After Installation; Electrical Connection - Veratron LINK UP J1939 User Manual

• 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.

SAFETY AFTER INSTALLATION

• Connect the ground cable tightly to the
negative terminal of the battery.
• Reenter/reprogram the volatile electronic
memory values.

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!
• 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.
• Check all functions.
• Use only clean water to clean the
components. Note the Ingress Protection (IP)
ratings (IEC 60529)
• 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.
