OBU Manual
Intended use
The DKV BOX EUROPE On Board Unit (OBU) is intended to be used for electronic toll collection and other
telematic services, and may only be used for this purpose, unless explicitly stated otherwise. Any other use is
considered to be a prohibited misuse and results in the denial of any claims.
Safety Instructions
General instructions:
Do not operate the OBU with pointed or sharp-edged objects. For cleaning use only, a damp
cloth, no solvents or abrasive cleaners. Replace damaged power supply cables immediately
to avoid any risk of short circuit or fire.
Usage in potential explosive atmosphere:
The usage of the EETS OBU in potential explosive atmosphere in general is not permitted.
Destruction caused by over-voltage:
The OBU is designed for a voltage range of 8 V – 32 V DC and must therefore be used inside
this voltage range. If your on-board network can generate higher voltages (e.g. jump-starting
from an external power source or from additional stronger power generators in the vehicle),
then you must disconnect the unit from the on-board network for the duration of the over-
voltage.
Danger caused by (rechargeable) battery:
Protect the battery from mechanical strain (shock, drop, vibration) as well as from
temperatures >+85 °C as this may create a potential Fire hazard! For further safety
precautions and directives, please, follow the detailed user manual.
Danger of explosion:
For ADR vehicles (European Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous
Goods by Road) only a fixed installation is permitted. This must be performed by authorized
staff. If you wish to install the device into an ADR vehicle contact your Customer Service.
Danger of obstructed line-of-sight:
Always mount the OBU in such a way that the driver's field of vision is not impaired! If in
doubt, please contact Customer Service.
Risk of accident:
Handling of the OBU while driving is not permitted! The navigation button is locked to
prevent any operation during vehicle movement.
Environmental pollution:
Do not remove the batteries from the OBU. Return the OBU completely to your Service
Partner. Contact your Customer Service to get further information.
