Safety Precautions
2.1.3 Safety Precautions for High Voltage/Line Voltage
Very high voltages occur in electrical systems. Due to voltage flashover on damaged components,
such as marten damage or touching live components, the risk of electric shock is likely. High
voltage via the vehicle and line voltage via the building's mains supply can cause severe injury or
even death if adequate care is not taken. Therefore regard the following:
• Only use power supply cables with grounding contact.
• Only use a checked or the attached power cord.
• Always use the original cable set.
• Regularly check cables and adapters for damage.
• Always connect the ground cable from device to vehicle first.
• Perform any assembly work such as the connection of the device to the vehicle or the
replacement of components only when ignition is switched off.
• Do not touch live components when ignition is switched on.
2.1.4 Safety Precautions – Risk of Injury
When working on the vehicle, there is a risk of injury through rotating parts or rolling of the
vehicle. Therefore regard the following:
• Prevent the vehicle from rolling.
• Additionally place gear selector lever of AT vehicles to park position.
• Deactivate the start/stop system to avoid an inadvertent engine startup.
• Connect the device to the vehicle only when engine is shut down.
• Do not reach into rotating components when engine is running.
• Do not run cables near rotating parts.
• Check the high-voltage parts for damage.
2.1.5 Safety Precautions – Chemical Burns
If the TFT display is damaged, there is a danger of chemical burns due to the escape of liquid
crystal. Therefore regard the following:
• Immediately rinse affected parts of the body or clothing with water (consult a doctor).
• Seek medical attention immediately after inhaling or swallowing.
2.1.6 Safety Precautions Regarding the Risk of Pinching/Crushing
Pay attention not to pinch or crush any limbs when removing/inserting the modules in the mega
macs 56 Bike. Therefore regard the following:
• Pay attention not to reach into the danger zone when inserting the module into the device.

Safety Precautions
2.1.7 Safety Precautions for Hybrid/Electric Vehicles
Very high tensions occur on hybrid and electric vehicles. Due to voltage flashover on damaged
components, such as marten damage or touching live components, the risk of electric shock is
likely. High voltage at or in the vehicle can lead to death in case of inattention. Therefore regard
the following:
• Only the following qualified employees are allowed to de-energize the high-voltage system:
– High-voltage technician
– Skilled electrician for predetermined operations – Hybrid or rather electric vehicles
– Skilled electrician
• Place warning signs and warning tapes.
• Check the high-voltage system and the high-voltage lines for damage (visual inspection!).
• De-energizing the high-voltage system:
– Switch off ignition.
– Disconnect the service disconnect plug.
– Remove the fuse.
• Securing the high-voltage system against re-activation:
– Withdraw the ignition key and keep it safe.
– Keep the service disconnect plug safe or secure the battery master switch against re-
activation.
– Insulate the battery master switch, the plug connections etc. with dummy plugs, covering
caps or insulating tape with the corresponding warning notice.
• Check the de-energized state with a voltage tester. Even with disconnected high-voltage
system, residual voltage can still be present.
• Ground and short-circuit the high-voltage system (necessary only if voltage is higher than
1000 V).
• Voltage below 1000 V: Cover the parts which are close to the system or which are energized e.
g. with insulating cloth, hoses or plastic coverings. Voltage higher than 1000 V: Cover the parts
with insulating plates/protective panels specially developed for this purpose so that sufficient
protection against contact to adjacent parts is ensured.
• Regard the following before re-energizing the high-voltage system:
– All tools and utilities are removed from the hybrid/electric vehicle.
– Remove the grounding and short circuit of the high-voltage system. Do not touch any of
the cables now.
– Attach the protective paneling that has been removed before.
– Remove the protective measures at the switching system.

2.1.8 Safety Precautions for Testing/Measuring Devices
• Perform measurements only on electric circuits that are not directly connected to the line
voltage.
• Never exceed the maximum permissible voltage load of 30 V alternating voltage (AC) or 60 V
direct current voltage (DC) respectively.
• Do not exceed the voltage limits indicated on the connecting cables.
• The voltage values to be measured must be shielded extra or even twice from dangerous line
voltage. The voltage limits printed on the test leads must not be exceeded. Pay attention that
the allowed measuring range of 60 V/DC / 42 V peak is not exceeded when measuring positive
and negative voltage at the same time.
• Never perform measurements on ignition systems.
• Regularly check the test and measuring devices for damage.
• Always connect the test and measuring devices to the measurement module (MT 56) first.
• Do not touch the connections/measurement points during the measurement.
