in the mega macs 66 or on the DVD enclosed.

2.1.2 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.

User Information
Safety Precautions

2.1.4 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.

2.1.5 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.

Safety Precautions

2.1.6 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.

2.1.7 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 66) first.
• Do not touch the connections/measurement points during the measurement.

Provision of HGS PassThru

5 Installation of the HGS PassThru Software

5.1 Provision of HGS PassThru

Since 2010, the Euro 5 standard has been applicable for all new vehicles. It regulates, among other things, the type­approval of vehicles with regard to emissions. With the Euro 5 standard, manufacturers are obligated to provide independent repairers with unrestricted Internet access to all information relating to the maintenance and repair of the vehicles.
Only Euro 5-capable devices may be used to to program the ECUs. HGS PassThru is an interface used to install the latest software version from the online portal of the manufacturer on the vehicle ECU. The PassThru function is an add-on and does not replace the diagnostic procedure. Here, Hella Gutmann establishes a direct communication between the manufacturer's OEM server (Original Equipment Manufacturer) and the vehicle.
Provision of the software varies depending on the manufacturer. The following options are available:
• Download the PC software
• Request the PC software on CD or DVD
• Online solutions
Here charges may accrue depending on the manufacturer e.g. for:
• Registration
• Licenses
• Software
The software content (scope of information and function) varies depending on the manufacturer. Some manufacturers provide the legally required functions and information only, whereas others provide additional data.

5.2 Supported Operating Systems for HGS PassThru

• at least Microsoft Windows 7 (32/64 bit)
