Electrical connections
12.1 General notes on laying cables
Cables and connections which are not installed properly will cause malfunc-
tions or damage to components. Correct installation of cables and connections
is the basic prerequisite for a lasting and trouble-free operaiton of the retro-
fitted components.
Observe the following points:
– Wherever possible lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better pro-
tected inside than outside the vehicle. If you do need to lay a cable outside
the vehicle, ensure that it is well secured (use additional cable binders,
insulating tape, etc.
– When laying cables ensure that there is sufficient distance to hot or moving
vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light systems, fans etc.)
to prevent damage to the cables.
– Wrap insulating tape around every connection on the cable (even inside the
vehicle).
– When laying electric connections, ensure that
1. They are not kinked or twisted
2. They do not rub on edges
3. They are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection.
– Protect every through-hole made in the outer shell against water penetra-
tion , e.g. by using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the
the cable sleeve with sealant.
Caution!
The plug connection of the system does not offer any protection against water
penetration. It is essential that you wrap the connection with sealing tape. the
most suitable tape for this is self-vulcanising tape e.g. from 3M.
Tip
To minimise corrosion in the plug we recommend using a little grease e.g. pin
grease inside the plug.
12.2 Using branch connections
To prevent loose connections in the branch connectors, it is important to ensure that the
cable cross sections fit into the branch connectors.
Working steps for connecting the branch connectors:
➤
Insert the cable to be tapped in the front groove of the cable connector (see fig. 11.A,
page 12)
➤
Insert the end of the new cable up to approx. 3/4 of the way into the rear groove (see
fig. 11.B, page 12)
➤
Use a pair of combination pliers to close the connector by pressing the metal pin in.
This creates an electrical connection (see fig. 11.C, page 12).
➤
Press down the safety cap until it latches into place.
Check that the connection is secure by pull on the cable (see fig. 11.D, page 12).
