temperatures, dust, dirt or excessive vibration (e.g. due to direct
sunlight or heating vents).
Taking safety precautions
A
Before starting work, disconnect the earth cable from the negative
terminal of the vehicle battery, in order to prevent short circuits. At the
same time, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s safety instructions (alarm
system, airbag, immobiliser, radio coding etc.).
A
Only connect electrical signals to suitable connecting points in the
vehicle.
A
For direct connection of permanent positive (red lead) to the
battery, the fuse must be no further than 10 - 15 cm from the positive
terminal of the battery. If it is necessary to extend the positive lead, an
additional 10 A fuse must be provided close to the battery (max.
distance 10 - 15 cm). Failure to do so may result in a wiring fire hazard.
