SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Safety instructions

Please respect all instructions in this manual.

Please pay particular attention to text marked with this symbol, which indicates an important aspect of system operation and safety.

Using the compass system does not relieve you of the responsibility for your ship, and requires good seamanship. Always rely on your nautical experience for the interpretation of the indicated values.

Safety Instructions for installation:

The anemometer system should be installed by your shipyard or by a specialist. Adequate working clothes should be worn if you install it yourself. Avoid loose clothing and use a hair net if your hair is long. Clothing and hair may be caught in moving parts. Remove all metallic or electrically conducting jewelry, such as chains, bracelets, rings, etc. when working on the on-board electrical system. Disconnect the minus polarity of the battery before starting your work to prevent the risk of a short-circuit. Short-circuits can cause harness fires, battery explosions and damages of other electronic memory systems. Please note that all volatile electronic memories will lose their contents, and will have to be re-programmed if you disconnect the battery. VDO instruments are not equipped with volatile memories.

Risk of explosion! Run the engine blower for a certain time before starting work in a gasoline engine compartment.

Check for sufficient clearance behind the mounting hole when selecting the location for the indicating instrument. Pre-drill the hole and finish with hole or keyhole saw (respect the safety instructions of the tool manufacturer).

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

If you must work without disconnecting the power supply, insulated tools should be used.

The electrical outputs of the anemometer system indicating instrument and the cables connected to them must be protected against direct contact or damage. This means that the cables must have a sufficient insulation resistance or voltage rating, and that touching the contact points is prevented.

Adequate measures are taken to ensure that electrically conducting parts of the connected consumers are protected against direct contact. The use of non-insulated wires and contacts is strictly forbidden.

Safety Instructions for maintenance

Anemometer system components can only be repaired by specialists authorized by VDO Kienzle. The VDO LOGIC anemometer system fulfills the applicable safety regulations.

Note: Capacitors in the unit can retain their charge, even if the unit is separated from its power supply.

Check that replacement fuses are of the indicated type and current rating. The use of temporarily repaired fuses or jumpering the fuse holder is strictly forbidden.
