Safety and installation instructions
The manufacturer will not be held liable for claims for damage resulting from the following:
Damage to the appliance resulting from mechanical influences and excess voltage
Alterations to the device without express permission from the manufacturer
Use for purposes other than those described in the operating manual
Caution
e
To prevent the risk of short circuits, always disconnect the negative terminal of
the electrical system before working on the vehicle.
If the vehicle has an additional battery, its negative terminal should also be dis-
connected.
Caution
e
Inadequate supply cable connections could result in short circuits, causing:
– Cable fires
– The airbag being triggered
– Damage to electronic control equipment
– Electrical malfunctions (indicators, brake light, horn, ignition, lights)
Caution
e
Ensure that all lines are connected correctly. The control line may never be con-
nected to earth; doing so can damage the device. Make especially sure to insu-
late the bare end of the control line when it is not in use and not connected.
Therefore, please observe the following instructions:
When working on the following lines, only use insulated cable lugs, plugs and sleeves.
– 30 (direct supply from positive battery terminal)
– 15 (connected positive terminal, behind the battery)
– 31 (return cable from the battery, earth)
– 58 (reversing light)
Do not use terminal strips.
Use a crimping tool to connect the cables.
For permanent connections, you can solder the cable ends together and then insulate
them.
Screw the cable for connections to cable 31 (earth)
– Screw on the cable using a cable terminal and serrated washer to one of the
vehicle's earth bolts or
– Screw the cable to the bodywork using a cable terminal and a self-tapping screw
Make sure there is a good earth connection.
