Scope of Functions

The range of functions of the software may vary depending on the country, the licenses acquired, and/or the optionally available hardware. This documentation may therefore describe functions that are not available on the individual device. Missing functions can be enabled by acquiring a corresponding license subject to charge and/or additional hardware.

Safety Precautions

General Safety Precautions

• The product is intended for use on motor vehicles only. It is a precondition for the use of the product that the user has knowledge of automotive technology and is therefore aware of the sources of danger and risks in the workshop and on motor vehicles.
• Please read the entire instructions thoroughly and carefully before using the mega macs ONE.
• All notes given in the individual sections of the instructions apply. It is important to regard the following measures and safety precautions.
• Furthermore, pay attention to all general instructions from labor inspectorates, trade associations and vehicle manufacturers as well as all laws, legal ordinances and instructions which have to be commonly obeyed by a repair shop.

Safety Precautions – Risk of Injury

When working on the vehicle, there is a risk of injury through rotating parts or rolling of the vehicle. Therefore regard the following:

• Prevent the vehicle from rolling.
• Additionally place gear selector lever of AT vehicles to park position.
• Deactivate the start/stop system to avoid an inadvertent engine startup.
• Connect the ONE VCI to the vehicle only when ignition is switched off.
• Do not reach into rotating components when engine is running.
• Do not run cables near rotating parts.
• Check the high-voltage parts for damage.

Safety Precautions for the ONE VCI

Observe the following to avoid incorrect handling and injury to the user or destruction of the ONE VCI arising from this:

• Protect the ONE VCI from long periods of exposure to solar radiation.
• Protect the ONE VCI from hot components.
• Protect the ONE VCI from rotating parts.
• Regularly check connecting cables/accessory parts for damage (destruction of the ONE VCI due to short circuit).
• Use the ONE VCI only in accordance with these instructions.
• Protect the ONE VCI from fluids such as water, oil or gasoline. The ONE VCI is not watertight.
• Protect the ONE VCI from strong impacts and do not drop it.
• Do not open the ONE VCI on your own. Only technicians authorized by Hella Gutmann are allowed to open the ONE VCI. Warranty and guarantee will be rendered void at any case of unauthorized tampering of the device or if the protective seal is damaged.
• If the ONE VCI is not working properly, contact Hella Gutmann or a Hella Gutmann trading partner without delay.

Safety Precautions for Hybrid/Electric Vehicles

Very high tensions occur on hybrid and electric vehicles. Due to voltage flashover on damaged components, such as marten damage or touching live components, the risk of electric shock is likely. High voltage at or in the vehicle can lead to death in case of inattention. Therefore regard the following:

• Only the following qualified employees are allowed to de-energize the high-voltage system:
  • High-voltage technician
  • Skilled electrician for predetermined operations – Hybrid or rather electric vehicles
  • Skilled electrician
• Place warning signs and warning tapes.
• Check the high-voltage system and the high-voltage lines for damage (visual inspection!).
• De-energizing the high-voltage system:
  • Switch off ignition.
  • Disconnect the service disconnect plug.
  • Remove the fuse.
• Securing the high-voltage system against re-activation:
  • Withdraw the ignition key and keep it safe.
  • Keep the service disconnect plug safe or secure the battery master switch against reactivation.
  • Insulate the battery master switch, the plug connections etc. with dummy plugs, covering caps or insulating tape with the corresponding warning notice.
• Check the de-energized state with a voltage tester. Even with disconnected high-voltage system, residual voltage can still be present.
• Ground and short-circuit the high-voltage system (necessary only if voltage is higher than 1000 V).
• Voltage below 1000 V: Cover the parts which are close to the system or which are energized e.g. with insulating cloth, hoses or plastic coverings. Voltage higher than 1000 V: Cover the parts with insulating plates/protective panels specially developed for this purpose so that sufficient protection against contact to adjacent parts is ensured.
• Regard the following before re-energizing the high-voltage system:
  • All tools and utilities are removed from the hybrid/electric vehicle.
  • Remove the grounding and short circuit of the high-voltage system. Do not touch any of the cables now.
  • Attach the protective paneling that has been removed before.
  • Remove the protective measures at the switching system.

Intended Use

The mega macs ONE is a system for detecting and rectifying faults in automotive electronic systems. This one has been developed especially for tablets with Android operating system.
It uses a diagnostic interface to establish a connection to the automotive electronics and to provide access to descriptions of the vehicle system. A lot of this data is transferred to the tablet directly from the Hella Gutmann diagnostic database via online connection. Therefore, the mega macs ONE should be permanently online. The mega macs ONE software is not suitable for repairing electrical machines and devices or home electrics. Diagnostic devices from other manufacturers will not be supported. If the mega macs ONE software and the ONE VCI is used in a way not authorized by Hella Gutmann the protection of the device may be influenced. The ONE VCI is intended for industrial use. Outside of industrial environments, e.g., in commercial areas or in the centre of a town, radio interference suppression measures may need to be taken.

Using the Bluetooth® Function

The terms of use of the Bluetooth® function may be restricted or prohibited through law or corresponding legal regulations in certain countries. Observe the provisions in force in the respective country before using the Bluetooth® function.

Working with the mega macs ONE

Cyber Security Management

Several manufacturers use security gateway modules to secure the vehicle communication against unauthorized access. This means that unrestricted vehicle communication between the diagnostic device and the vehicle is possible only through prior activation. Therefore, the Cyber Security Management (CSM) function has been integrated to ensure unrestricted vehicle communication. First the CSM user needs to be registered at the manufacturer. For this the manufacturer demands an identity check done with IDnow. The necessary steps are explained in the following sections.

Register New CSM User

Proceed as follows to register a new CSM user:

1. Select > CSM user management.
   The CSM user management window appears. Here the CSM user is managed which is required for the release of the Cyber Security Management. The functions of the Cyber Security Management can only be used after an identity check through Hella Gutmann.

2. Select >Register new CSM user<.

3. Enter the user data and confirm with > Continue<.
   NOTICE
   

   • A verification e-mail will be sent to the specified e-mail address.
   • The verification e-mail contains a token.
