Safety

3.1 Intended use

The display is only intended for displaying the data detected by the CPC
system (air pressure and temperature of the tires) as well as warning
messages.

The pressure control indicator installed in the trailer is intended to be
used for displaying the status of the CPC system at the trailer using light
signals.

Use for any other purpose is not considered as intended use.

No claims of any kind will be accepted for damage resulting from use of
the appliance for other than its intended purpose.

In such cases, the risk must be borne solely by the user.

WARNING

Danger resulting from improper use!

Any use other than and/or going beyond the intended
use of the CPC system can lead to damage and serious
injuries.

► Use the system only for its intended purpose.

3.2 General safety instructions

Observe the following general safety instructions to ensure safe handling
of the CPC system:

■ The operator must ensure that tires in which tire sensors are

installed, are only operated in vehicles, in which monitoring is
ensured by the CPC system.

■ If continuous technical monitoring is not ensured, the operator

must make sure that the condition of the tire sensor is checked
regularly, at the latest after 20,000 km (12,425 miles).

■ In the case of continued use of the tires on other vehicles where

monitoring is not ensured, the tire sensors must irst be removed
from the tires.

■ The operator of the vehicle must ensure that the CPC system is

properly installed and put into operation. This includes setting the
nominal pressures recommended in the tire guide, correct assign­ment of the tire sensors to the wheel position, etc.

Observe the following general safety instructions to ensure safe handling
of the display:

■ Check the display for visible damage before using. Do not put a

damaged display into operation.

■ Never open the housing of the display.

■ The display is designed for a temperature range from -40 °C to

85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) however, temporary display errors may occur
at temperatures lower than -20 °C (-4 °F) or above 80 °C (176 °F).

■ Protect the display against moisture and penetration by liquids.

Safety

3.3 Particular hazards

Special characteristic in the case of vehicles for hazardous substances
(ADR):

■ If the CPC system is installed in a vehicle for hazardous materials

(ADR) and the CPC system remains switched on although the vehi­cle ignition is switched o, it is possible that sparks, other ignition
sources or similar could lead to a reaction with the hazardous
material in the event of a fault. This can result in accidents and
serious injuries.

– For this reason, it is absolutely necessary when parking vehicles

for hazardous substances to disconnect the CPC system fro the
power supply (normally via the battery main switch)

Risk of injury!

The risk of injury cannot be ruled out if the installation
instructions are not followed.

► Mount the display oset to the side of the driver and

the front passenger(s).

► Do not mount the display in the impact zone of the

body or the head and not in the airbag area (driver &
front passenger).

The vehicle driver must have a suicient ield of view
under all operating and weather conditions.

► Mount the display so that the ield of view of the

driver is not restricted.

WARNING

NOTE

15

Mounting the display

5.1 Display holder with suction caps for attaching to the
windscreen

To attach the display to the windscreen to the display holder, use the suc­tion caps.

 Connect the display with the display holder supplied. Make sure

that the display is completely snapped and locked into the holder.

 Choose a suitable location on the windscreen. Pay attention to

possible dazzling by sunlight.

NOTE

National regulations!

► If national regulations stipulate that devices may no

be attached to the windscreen, mount the display
with the holder according to chapter “5.2 Display

holder for screwing to the dashboard”

5.2 Display holder for screwing to the dashboard

To mount the display to the dashboard, glue and screw the display holder
to the dashboard.

 Connect the display with the display holder supplied.

 Chose a suitable location on the dashboard. Pay attention to possi-

ble dazzling by sunlight.

ATTENTION

Damage!

In the case of improper screwing of the display holder, it
is possible to damage components or cables in the dash­board of the vehicle:

► Before screwing tight, maker sure that components

or cables cannot be damaged when ixing the display
holder.

16

Mounting the display

 Remove the display from the holder.

 Pull of the protective foil of the contact surfaces on the holder and

glue the holder to the desired location.

 Also screw the holder into the dashboard with the 2 screws sup-

plied.

 Connect the display with the display holder supplied. Make sure

that the display is completely snapped and locked into the holder.

It is recommended to ix the display by gluing and
screwing!

► The adhesive foil compensates unevenness between

the holder and installation location and ensures a
tighter it.

► The screws secures the holder against vibration during

operation and therefore against unintentional loosen­ing.

Dismantling the display holder!

► After dismantling the display holder, two holes remain

in the dashboard. In addition, residual adhesive could
remain on the dashboard.

NOTE

NOTE

5.3 Adjusting the display
