Safety instructions

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!

No smoking! No open fire or lights!

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.

Procedures for installing

Procedures for installing Sensors 1 to 6

Switch the ignition off

DANGER: Danger of explosion, fire and suffocation!
Inflammatory and harmful vapors / liquids may be present at the installation site (especially the engine compartment).

• Do not smoke. No open fire or light
• Ventilate workplace / installation site of the sensor well

Before beginning work

• Turn off ignition and remove ignition key.
• If necessary, remove the main power switch.

Disconnect the battery

WARNING: Danger from short circuit!

Short circuits in the electrical system can cause cable fires, battery explosions and damage to other electronic systems. All connections to the voltage supply must be provided with weldable butt connectors and be adequately insulated.

• Pay attention to proper ground connections.
• Insulate exposed wires,
• Connect cable only in accordance with the electrical connection plan.
• Disconnect the negative pole of the starter battery.

Information: If the vehicle has additional batteries, the negative poles on these batteries may also need to be disconnected! All volatile electronic memories lose their input values and must be reprogrammed when the battery is disconnected.

• Secure battery against accidental reconnection.

Discharge oil

DANGER

• Complete EMPS-Product Family may only be used in medium Oil (Engine & Gear Oil) and dry, clean air!
• All other media are not allowed.
