01/16 1-61GBINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: Viewline 52 mmTU00-0752-8707102Technische Änderungen vorbehalten - Technical details subject to changeTU00-0752-8707102AmmeterSafety information• The product was developed, manufactured and inspectedaccording to the basic safety requirements ofEC Guidelines and state-of-the-art technology.• The instrument is designed for use in grounded vehicles andmachines as well as in pleasure boats, including non-classifiedcommercial shipping.• Use our product only as intended. Use of the product for reasonsother than its intended use may lead to personal injury, propertydamage or environmental damage. Before installation, check thevehicle documentation for vehicle type and any possible specialfeatures!• Use the assembly plan to learn the location of the fuel/hydraulic/compressed air and electrical lines!• Note possible modifications to the vehicle, which must be consideredduring installation!• To prevent personal injury, property damage or environmentaldamage, basic knowledge of motor vehicle/shipbuilding electronicsand mechanics is required.• Make sure that the engine cannot start unintentionally duringinstallation!• Modifications or manipulations to VDO products can affect safety.Consequently, you may not modify or manipulate the product!• When removing/installing seats, covers, etc., ensure that lines arenot damaged and plug-in connections are not loosened!• Note all data from other installed instruments with volatile electronicmemories.Safety during installation:• During installation, ensure that the product’s components do notaffect 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 fieldof vision and that it cannot impact the driver’s or passenger’s head!• A specialized technician should install the product. If you install theproduct yourself, wear appropriate work clothing. Do not wear looseclothing, as it may get caught in moving parts. Protect long hair witha hair net.• When working on the on-board electronics, do not wear metallic orconductive jewelry such as necklaces, bracelets, rings, etc.• If work on a running engine is required, exercise extreme caution.Wear only appropriate work clothing as you are at risk of personalinjury, resulting from being crushed or burned.• Before beginning, disconnect the negative terminal on the battery,otherwise you risk a short circuit. If the vehicle is supplied by aux-iliary batteries, you must also disconnect the negative terminals onthese batteries! Short circuits can cause fires, battery explosionsand damages to other electronic systems. Please note that whenyou disconnect the battery, all volatile electronic memories lose theirinput values and must be reprogrammed.• If working on gasoline boat motors, let the motor compartment fanrun before beginning work.• Pay attention to how lines and cable harnesses are laid so that youdo not drill or saw through them!• Do not install the product in the mechanical and electrical airbagarea!• Do not drill holes or ports in load-bearing or stabilizing stays or tiebars!• When working underneath the vehicle, secure it according to thespecifications from the vehicle manufacturer.• Note the necessary clearance behind the drill hole or port at theinstallation location. Required mounting depth: 65 mm.• Drill small ports; enlarge and complete them, if necessary, usingtaper milling tools, saber saws, keyhole saws or files. Debur 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 measurevoltages and currents in the vehicle/machine or boat. Use of conven-tional test lamps can cause damage to control units or other elec-tronic systems.• The electrical indicator outputs and cables connected to them mustbe protected from direct contact and damage. The cables in usemust have sufficient insulation and electric strength and the contactpoints must be safe from touch.• Use appropriate measures to also protect the electrically conductiveparts on the connected consumer from direct contact. Laying metal-lic, uninsulated cables and contacts is prohibited.Safety after installation:• Connect the ground cable tightly to the negative terminal of thebattery.• Reenter/reprogram the volatile electronic memory values.• Check all functions.• Use only clean water to clean the components. Note the IngressProtection (IP) ratings (IEC 60529).Electrical connection:• Note cable cross-sectional area!• Reducing the cable cross-sectional area leads to higher currentdensity, which can cause the cable cross-sectional area in questionto heat up!• When installing electrical cables, use the provided cable ducts andharnesses; however, do not run cables parallel to ignition cables orto cables that lead to large electricity consumers.• Fasten cables with cable ties or adhesive tape. Do not run cablesover moving parts. Do not attach cables to the steering column!• Ensure that cables are not subject to tensile, compressive orshearing forces.• If cables are run through drill holes, protect them using rubbersleeves or the like.• Use only one cable stripper to strip the cable. Adjust the stripperso that stranded wires are not damaged or separated.• Use only a soft soldering process or commercially available crimpconnector to solder new cable connections!• Make crimp connections with cable crimping pliers only. Follow thesafety instructions of the tool manufacturer.• Insulate exposed stranded wires to prevent short circuits.• Caution: Risk of short circuit if junctions are faulty or cables aredamaged.• Short circuits in the vehicle network can cause fires, battery explo-sions and damages to other electronic systems. Consequently,all power supply cable connections must be provided with weldableconnectors and be sufficiently insulated.• Ensure ground connections are sound.• Faulty connections can cause short circuits. Only connect cablesaccording to the electrical wiring diagram.• If operating the instrument on power supply units, note that thepower supply unit must be stabilized and it must comply with thefollowing standard: DIN EN 61000, Parts 6-1 to 6-4.No smoking! No open fire or lights!
