Veratron EMPS Installation Instructions Manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Pressure Sensors EMPS
The product was developed, manufactured and inspected according to the
basic safety requirements of EC Guidelines and state-of-the-art technology.
Intended use
• The sensor may only be installed and operated if the
safety instructions have been thoroughly read, understood
and followed.
• Sensor only use in earth-bound vehicles and machines
as well as in pleasure boats, including non-classified
commercial
shipping
• Modifications or manipulations of the sensor can affect
safety. Consequently, you may not modify or manipulate
the sensor! Not install damaged sensors!
• Complete EMPS-Product Family may only be used in
medium Oil (Engine & Gear Oil) and dry, clean air!
All other media are not allowed.
Disregard of intended use may lead to life-threatening
personal injuries as well as damage to property or environment!
Instruction before installation:
• The safety instructions should be thoroughly read and
followed!
• Using the vehicle documentation, learn about the vehicle
type and possible special features before installation!
• Note possible modifications to the vehicle, which must be
considered during installation!
• To prevent personal injury, property damage or environmental
damage,
basic knowledge of motor vehicle/
shipbuilding electronics and mechanics is required. The
product should be installed by a specialized professional.
• Use the assembly plan to learn the location of the fuel/
hydraulic/compressed air and electrical lines!
• 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!
• Wear work clothes. Do not wear loose clothing, as it may
get caught in moving parts. Protect long hair with a hair
net.
• When working on the on-board electronics, do not wear
metallic or conductive jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets,
rings, etc.
• Make sure that the engine cannot start unintentionally
during installation!
• When removing/installing seats, covers, etc., ensure that
lines are not damaged and plug-in connections are not
loosened!
• Note all data from other installed instruments with volatile
electronic memories.
• Sensor/wiring as well as vehicle functionality has to be
undamaged!
Instruction during installation:
• When working in the engine compartment of ships with a
gasoline engine: Turn on engine compartment fan.
• If work on a running engine is required, exercise extreme
caution. Wear only appropriate work clothing as you are
at risk of personal injury, resulting from being crushed or
burned.
• When working underneath the vehicle, secure it according
to the specifications from the vehicle manufacturer.
• Note the necessary clearance at the installation location.
• Drilling small ports, cutting threads, deburring edges.
Follow the safety instructions of the tool manufacturer.
Instruction after installation:
• Connect the ground cable tightly to the negative terminal
of the battery.
• Reenter/reprogram the volatile electronic memory values.
• Check all functions.
• Note the Ingress Protection (IP) ratings (IEC 60529).
Instruction for the electrical connection:
• Pay attaention for proper ground connections.
• Connect cables according to the electrical wiring diagram.
• Do not operate vehicle/engine with incorrect or damaged
connections. Have a specialist fix damages.
• 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!
• 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.
• Laying metallic, uninsulated cables and contacts is prohibited.
• When installing electrical cables, use the provided cable
ducts and harnesses; however, do not run sensor 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 at new cable connections!
• Make crimp connections with cable crimping pliers only.
Follow the safety instructions of the tool manufacturer.
• If operating the sensor 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.
