SAFETY INFORMATION
WARNING
•No smoking! No open fire or heat sources!
•The product was developed, manufactured,
and inspected according to the asic safety
requirements of EC Guidelines and state-of-
the-art technology.
•The instrument is designed for use in grounded
vehicles and machines as well as in pleasure
oats, including non-classified commercial
shipping.
•Use our product only as intended. Use of the
product for reasons other than its intended use
may lead to personal injury, property damage
or environmental damage. Before installation,
check the vehicle documentation for vehicle
type and any possi le special features!
•Use the assem ly plan to learn the location of
the fuel/hydraulic/compressed air and
electrical lines!
•Note possi le modifications to the vehicle,
which must e considered during installation!
•To prevent personal injury, property damage or
environmental damage, asic knowledge of
motor vehicle/ship uilding electronics and
mechanics is required.
•Make sure that the engine cannot start
unintentionally during installation!
•Modifications or manipulations to veratron
products can affect safety. Consequently, you
may not modify or manipulate the product!
•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.
SAFETY DURING INSTALLATION
•During installation, ensure that the product’s
components do not affect or limit vehicle
functions. Avoid damaging these components!
•Only install undamaged parts in a vehicle!
•During installation, ensure that the product
does not impair the field of vision and that it
cannot impact the driver’s or passenger’s head!
•A specialized technician should install the
product. If you install the product yourself,
wear appropriate work clothing. 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- oard electronics, do
not wear metallic or conductive jewelry such as
necklaces, racelets, rings, etc.
•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 eing crushed or urned.
•Before eginning, disconnect the negative
terminal on the attery, otherwise you risk a
short circuit. If the vehicle is supplied y
auxiliary atteries, you must also disconnect
the negative terminals on these atteries!
Short circuits can cause fires, attery
explosions and damages to other electronic
systems. Please note that when you disconnect
the attery, all volatile electronic memories
lose their input values and must e
reprogrammed.
•If working on gasoline oat motors, let the
motor compartment fan run efore eginning
work.
•Pay attention to how lines and ca le harnesses
are laid so that you do not drill or saw through
them!
•Do not install the product in the mechanical
and electrical air ag area!
•Do not drill holes or ports in load- earing or
sta ilizing stays or tie ars!
•When working underneath the vehicle, secure
it according to the specifications from the
vehicle manufacturer.
•Note the necessary clearance ehind the drill
hole or port at the installation location.
Required mounting depth: 65 mm.
•Drill small ports; enlarge and complete them, if
necessary, using taper milling tools, sa er saws,

SAFETY INFORMATION

keyhole saws or files. De urr edges. Follow the
safety instructions of the tool manufacturer.
•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 oat. Use of
conventional test lamps can cause damage to
control units or other electronic systems.
•The electrical indicator outputs and ca les
connected to them must e protected from
direct contact and damage. The ca les in use
must have enough insulation and electric
strength and the contact points must e safe
from touch.
•Use appropriate measures to also protect the
electrically conductive parts on the connected
consumer from direct contact. Laying metallic,
uninsulated ca les and contacts is prohi ited.
SAFETY AFTER INSTALLATION
•Connect the ground ca le tightly to the
negative terminal of the attery.
•Reenter/reprogram the volatile electronic
memory values.
•Check all functions.
•Use only clean water to clean the components.
Note the Ingress Protection (IP) ratings (IEC
60529).
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
•Note ca le cross-sectional area!
•Reducing the ca le cross-sectional area leads
to higher current density, which can cause the
ca le cross-sectional area in question to heat
up!
•When installing electrical ca les, use the
provided ca le ducts and harnesses; however,
do not run ca les parallel to ignition ca les or
to ca les that lead to large electricity
consumers.
•Fasten ca les with ca le ties or adhesive tape.
Do not run ca les over moving parts. Do not
attach ca les to the steering column!
•Ensure that ca les are not su ject to tensile,
compressive or shearing forces.
•If ca les are run through drill holes, protect
them using ru er sleeves or the like.
•Use only one ca le stripper to strip the ca le.
Adjust the stripper so that stranded wires are
not damaged or separated.
•Use only a soft soldering process or
commercially availa le crimp connector to
solder new ca le connections!
•Make crimp connections with ca le crimping
pliers only. Follow the safety instructions of the
tool manufacturer.
•Insulate exposed stranded wires to prevent
short circuits.
•Caution: Risk of short circuit if junctions are
faulty or ca les are damaged.
•Short circuits in the vehicle network can cause
fires, attery explosions and damages to other
electronic systems. Consequently, all power
supply ca le connections must e provided
with welda le connectors and e sufficiently
insulated.
•Ensure ground connections are sound.
•Faulty connections can cause short circuits.
Only connect ca les according to the electrical
wiring diagram.
•
If operating the instrument on power supply
units, note that the power supply unit must e
sta ilized and it must comply with the following
standard: DIN EN 61000, Parts 6-1 to 6-4.

WARNING
Before eginning, disconnect the negative terminal on the attery, otherwise you risk a short circuit.
If the vehicle is supplied y auxiliary atteries, you must also disconnect the negative terminals on these
atteries! Short circuits can cause fires, attery explosions and damages to other electronic systems.
Please note that when you disconnect the attery, all volatile electronic memories lose their input values
and must e reprogrammed.
BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY
1.
Before eginning, turn off the ignition and

SOUND PATTERN
It is possi le to choose etween a continuous alarm sound and an intermittent sound.
The selection must e made during the hardware installation and depends on the device’s connection to
ground.
Only one of the two ground terminals should e connected to the warning contact. If the connection is
made with pin 2 (WK1) the device will emit a continuous sound. If the pin 2 remains unconnected and pin 6 is
used instead, there will e an intermittent sound as soon as the warning contact closes.
