2.1 Safety Precautions

2.1.1 General Safety Precautions

• The PC VCI is intended for use on motor vehicles only. It is a precondition for the use of the PC VCI that the user has knowledge of automotive technology and is therefore aware of the sources of danger and risks in the workshop and on motor vehicles.
• Please read the entire user manual thoroughly and carefully before using the mega macs PC. You can also find the user manual under
• All notes given in the individual sections of this user manual apply. The following measures and safety precautions must also be followed.
• Furthermore, pay attention to all general instructions from labor inspectorates, trade associations and vehicle manufacturers as well as all laws, legal ordinances and instructions which have to be commonly obeyed by a repair shop.
in the mega macs PC.

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 PC VCI 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.
10

2.1.3 Safety Precautions for the PC VCI

Observe the following to avoid incorrect handling and injury to the user or destruction of the PC VCI arising from this:
• Protect the PC VCI and the connecting cables from hot parts.
• Protect the PC VCI and the connecting cables from rotating parts.
• Regularly check connecting cables/accessory parts for damage (destruction of the PC VCI due to short circuit).
• Connect the PC VCI exclusively according to user manual.
• Protect the PC VCI from fluids such as water, oil or gasoline. The PC VCI is not watertight.
• Protect the PC VCI from strong impacts and do not drop it.
• Do not open the PC VCI on your own. Only technicians authorized by Hella Gutmann are allowed to open the PC VCI. Warranty and guarantee will be rendered void at any case of unauthorized tampering of the device or if the protective seal is damaged.
• If the PC VCI is not working properly, contact Hella Gutmann or a Hella Gutmann trading partner without delay.

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.
• Perform any assembly work such as the connection of the PC VCI to the vehicle or the replacement of components only when ignition is switched off.
• Do not touch live components when ignition is switched on.
12

2.1.5 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.

mega macs PC Device Description
Intended Use

3.2 Intended Use

The mega macs PC software and the PC VCI are systems used for detecting and rectifying faults in automotive electronic systems.
It uses a diagnostic interface to establish a connection to the automotive electronics and to provide access to descriptions of the vehicle system. A lot of this data is transferred to the PC directly via an Internet connection from the Hella Gutmann diagnostic database. Therefore, the PC should be permanently online.
The mega macs PC software is not suitable for repairing electrical machines and devices or home electrics. Diagnostic devices from other manufacturers will not be supported.
If the mega macs PC software and the PC VCI is used in a way not authorized by Hella Gutmann the protection of the device may be influenced.
The PC VCI is intended for industrial use. Outside of industrial environments, e.g., in commercial areas or in the centre of a town, radio interference suppression measures may need to be taken.

3.3 Using the Bluetooth® Function

The terms of use of the Bluetooth® function may be restricted or prohibited through law or corresponding legal regulations in certain countries.
Observe the provisions in force in the respective country before using the Bluetooth® function.

3.4 Range of Functions

The range of functions of the mega macs PC software depends on the country, the licenses acquired, and/or the optionally available hardware. This documentation may therefore describe functions that are not available on the individual device. Missing functions can be enabled by acquiring a corresponding license subject to charge and/or additional hardware.

8.1 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:
