Bosch Automotive Diagnostics Equipment (Shenzhen) Limited 6  |  VCI  |  Safety instructionsen2.3  Obligation of contractorThe contractor is obliged to ensure that all measures geared towards the prevention of accidents, industrial diseases, labor-related health risks are taken and mea-sures towards making the workplace fit for people to work in are carried out. Specifications for electrical systems (BGV A3)Electrical engineering in Germany is subject to the ac-cident prevention regulations of the trade association "Electrical Plant and Equipment as under BGV A3 (pre-viously VBG 4)". In all other countries the applicable national regulations or acts or decrees are to be adhe-red to.Basic rulesThe contractor is bound to ensure that all electrical equipment and operating material is set up, modified and maintained by skilled electricians only or under the guidance and supervision of a skilled electrician in ac-cordance with electrical engineering principles. Furthermore, the contractor must ensure that all elec-trical equipment and operating material is operated in keeping with electrical engineering principles.If a piece of electrical equipment or operating material is found to be defective, i.e. it does not or no longer complies with electrical engineering principles, the con-tractor must ensure that the fault is rectified immedia-tely and, in the event that imminent danger exists, also ensure that the electrical equipment or the electrical operating material is not used.Tests (taking Germany as an example): RThe contractor must ensure that all electrical equip-ment and operating material is tested to see if it is in proper working order: $Before starting up for the first time and, following any modification or repair work, before a restart by a skilled electrician or under the guidance and supervision of a skilled electrician. $At specific time intervals. Intervals are to be mea-sured such that faults that must be expected to occur, are determined in good time. RThe test is to take the electrical engineering princip-les relating hereto into account. RUpon request of the trade association a test manual is to be maintained into which specific entries are made. 3.  Safety instructions3.1  Risk of electric shocks3.1.1  Low voltages, high voltagesHazardous voltages occur in both the lightingsystem and the electrical system of a motorvehicle. If contact is made with live parts (e.g.with the ignition coil), there is a risk of electricshock from flashover voltages caused bydamaged insulation (e.g. ignition cables whichhave been attacked by martens). These apply to the secondary and primary sides of the ignition system, the wiring harness with con-nectors, lighting system (Litronic) as well as connection to the vehicle.Safety measures: ¶Only  connect to a properly grounded outlet. ¶Only the enclosed or a tested power supply cable is to be used. ¶All extension cables must be fitted with shock-proof contacts. ¶Any cables with damaged insulation must be repla-ced. ¶First connect the lighting system and turn it on befo-re connecting it to the vehicle. ¶Before switching on the ignition connect the (B-) cable to engine ground or the battery (B–) terminal. ¶Always switch off the ignition before performing any work on the electrical system of the vehicle. Inter-vention includes, for instance, connection to the vehicle, replacement of ignition system components, removal of equipment (e. g. alternators), connection of equipment to a test bench. ¶Wherever possible, tests and settings should always be caried out with the ignition switched off and the engine stationary. ¶If tests or settings are carried out with the ignition switched on or the engine running, care must be taken not to touch any live parts. This applies to all connection cables and leads as well as to connec-tions of equipment to test benches. ¶Test connections must always be made using sui-table connectors (e.g. Bosch testing cable set or vehicle-specific adapter cables). ¶Make sure that all test connections are properly plugged in and secure. ¶Before disconnecting the (B-) cable from the engine ground or battery (B–), switch off the ignition. ¶Never open the enclosures.
Bosch Automotive Diagnostics Equipment (Shenzhen) Limited Safety instructions  |  VCI  |  7VCI  |  7  |  7 en3.1.2  High voltages in hybrid vehicles and electric ve-hicles as well as their high-voltage componentsIf high-voltage components or high-voltage wires are inexpertly handled, there is a risk of fatal injury from high voltages and the possib-le transmission of current through the body.  ¶Deenergization is only to be performed by a qualified electrician, a qualified electri-cian for specific tasks (hybrid) or a power systems engineer.   ¶Work on vehicles with high-voltage compo-nents is only ever to be performed in a safe, deenergized condition by persons with the minimum qualification "Trained to perform electrical work".  ¶Even after deactivating the high-voltage vehicle electrical system, the high-voltage battery may still be live. ¶Operating condition cannot be established from any running noise, as the electric ma-chine is silent when stationary. ¶In gear positions "P" and "N" the engine or electric motor may start spontaneously depen-ding on the charge of the high-voltage battery.Safety measures: ¶Never open or damage high-voltage batteries. ¶On accident vehicles, never touch high-voltage com-ponents or exposed high-voltage wires before deacti-vating the high-voltage vehicle electrical system. ¶Avoid contact with any high-voltage components and high-voltage wires (orange sheathing) when in operation. ¶Secure against unauthorized renewed start-up  (e.g. by means of a padlock). ¶Always wait at least 10 seconds after deactivating the high-voltage system. ¶Visually inspect the high-voltage components and high-voltage wires for damage. The power systems engineer responsible should always be immediate-ly notified of any irregularities, doubts or defects found. $High-voltage components must never exhibit signs of external damage. $The insulation of the high-voltage wiring must be intact and undamaged. $Watch out for any abnormal deformation of the high-voltage wiring.3.2  Danger of acid burningWhen exhaust gas measurements are taken, the sampling hoses which are used release a highly caustic gas (hydrogen fluoride) that can cause acid burning in the respiratory system when heated to temperatures in excess of  250 °C (482 °F) or in the event of fire.Rules of conduct: ¶Consult a doctor immediately after inhaling! ¶Always wear gloves made of neoprene or PVC when removing residues left after a fire. ¶Neutralize any residues left after a fire with a cal-cium hydroxide solution. This produces non-toxic calcium fluoride, which can be washed away.Acids and alkalis can cause severe burning on unprotected skin. Hydrogen fluoride in combi-nation with moisture (water) forms hydroflu-oric acid. The condensate, which accumulates in the sampling hose and in the condensate container likewise contains acid.Rules of conduct: ¶When replacing the O2 measuring sensor, bear in mind that it contains alkali. ¶When replacing the NO measuring sensor, bear in mind that it contains acid. ¶Rinse any affected parts of the skin immediately in water, then consult a doctor! ¶NO and O2 measuring sensors are hazardous waste and must be disposed of separately. Your Bosch spe-cialist equipper can dispose of sensors in the proper manner.If liquid crystal escapes from a damaged liquid crystal display, it is imperative to avoid direct skin contact, inhalation and swallowing.Rules of conduct: ¶If you have inhaled or swallowed liquid crystal, con-sult a doctor immediately! ¶Wash the skin and clothing thoroughly with soap and water if it has come into contact with liquid crystal.If fluid (electrolyte) escapes from batteries and rechargeable batteries, avoid getting it on your skin or in your eyes.Rules of conduct: ¶If contact with skin or eyes happens nevertheless, wash the affected parts immediately with clean wa-ter and then consult a doctor.
Bosch Automotive Diagnostics Equipment (Shenzhen) Limited 8  |  VCI  |  Safety instructionsen3.3  Danger of injury, Danger of crushingThe vehicle has rotating and moving parts that can injure fingers and arms.If the vehicle is not prevented from rolling away, there is a danger of people being crus-hed against a workbench, for example.There is the risk with electrically operated fans in particular that the fan can start run-ning unexpectedly even when the engine and ignition are off.Safety measures: ¶Take steps to prevent the vehicle from rolling away while it is being tested. Select the park position if the vehicle has an automatic transmission and apply the handbrake or lock the wheels with chocks (wedges). ¶Operating staff must wear work clothes without loose bands and loops. ¶Do not reach in any area with rotating or moving parts. ¶When working on or in the vicinity of electrically driven fans, allow the engine to cool down first, then disconnect the plug of the fan motor. ¶Route cables at a suitable distance from rotating parts. ¶Secure the trolley against rolling away by setting the brakes. ¶Do not place heavy objects on or lean on the sensor holder. ¶Transport and operate the equipment only in ac-cordance with the operating instructions.3.4  Danger of burningWhen working on a hot engine, there is a risk of injury from burning if such components as the exhaust gas manifold, the turbo-charger, the Lambda sensor, etc. are touched or if parts of the body come too close to them. These components may be heated to tempe-ratures of several hundred degrees Celsius. Depending on the duration of the exhaust gas measurements, the sampling probe of the exhaust gas measuring instrument may also become extremely hot.Safety measures:: ¶Always wear protective clothing, e.g. gloves. ¶Allow the engine to cool down first. This also applies to auxiliary heating systems. ¶Keep connecting cables well away from all hot parts. ¶Do not leave the engine running any longer than necessary for the test or setting.
Bosch Automotive Diagnostics Equipment (Shenzhen) Limited Safety instructions  |  VCI  |  9VCI  |  9  |  9 en3.5  Danger of fire, Danger of explosionThere is a risk of fire and explosion from fuels and fuel vapors when work is performed on the fuel system or on the mixture control system.Safety measures: ¶Switch off the ignition. ¶Allow the engine to cool down first. ¶Avoid naked flames and potential sources of sparks. ¶Do not smoke. ¶Collect any leaked fuel. ¶Always ensure effective ventilation and suction when working in closed areas.3.6  Danger of asphyxiationCar exhaust fumes contain carbon monoxide (CO) - a colorless, odorless gas. If inhaled, carbon monoxide causes an oxygen deficiency in the body. Extreme caution is therefore es-sential when working in a pit, as some of the components of the exhaust gas are heavier than air and settle at the bottom of the pit. Caution is also necessary when working on LPG-driven vehicles.Safety measures: ¶Always ensure effective ventilation and suction (es-pecially when working in a pit). ¶Always switch on and connect the suction plant in a closed area.3.7  NoiseNoise levels in excess of 70 dB(A) can occur when measurements are carried out on a vehicle, especially at high engine speeds. Da-mage to hearing may result if human beings are exposed to noise at such levels over an extended period of time.Safety measures: ¶Noise protection facilities must be provided by the ow-ner at all workplaces in the vicinity of the testing area. ¶Suitable personal noise protection facilities must be used by the operator.3.8  Danger of trippingWhen conducting tests or making adjust-ments, the sensor and connection cables increase the risk of tripping.Safety measures: ¶Route the connecting cables such that any risk of tripping up is prevented.
Bosch Automotive Diagnostics Equipment (Shenzhen) Limited 10  |  VCI  |  Safety instructionsen3.9  FCC WarningThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:(1) this device may not cause harmful intererence, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired opera-tion.Note: changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. This equip-ment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, us-ers and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communica-tions. However, there is no guarantee the interference will not occur in a particular insatllation. If this equip-ment does cause harmful interference to radio or televi-sion reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: RReorient or relocate the receiving antenna; RIncrease the separation between the equipment and receiver; RConnect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connec-ted; RConsult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV tech-nician for help.3.10  WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network)3.10.1  Important information on WLANWLAN stands for Wireless Local Area Network. As  with Bluetooth, WLAN provides a radio link on the free 2.4 GHz ISM band (ISM: Industrial, Scientific, Medical). This frequency range is subject to government regula-tions, but may be used without a license in most coun-tries. Consequently a large number of applications and devices employ this frequency band for transmission. This can result in frequency interference.Depending on ambient conditions, the WLAN link may therefore deteriorate, e.g. in the case of Bluetooth links, cordless telephones, radio-controlled thermometers, radio-controlled garage door openers, radio-controlled light switches or radio-controlled alarm systems. iBluetooth can lead to interference in the bandwidth of the WLAN network. The antennas of Bluetooth and WLAN devices should be at least 30 centimeters apart. Do not plug Bluetooth USB adapters and WLAN sticks into adjacent USB slots on PCs/laptops. Use the USB extension cable (special accessory) to main-tain a distance between the Bluetooth USB adapter and the WLAN stick on the PC/laptop. iExercise extreme caution if wearing pacemakers or other vital electronic devices when using radio systems, as proper functioning of these items could be impaired.Note the following to ensure the best possible connec-tivity: RThe WLAN radio signal always tries to find the most direct path. When setting up the PC/laptop and ac-cess point (see section 2.6.2), make sure there are as few obstacles as possible (e.g. steel doors and concrete walls), which could interfere with the radio signal from and to the KTS 340. Inside buildings, the range of the WLAN is also greatly influenced by the construction materials used. Conventional masonry, wooden walls and certain types of dry construc-tion wall scarcely impede radio waves. Thin gypsum walls can however cause problems, as considerable amounts of moisture may accumulate in the gypsum and result in the absorption of radio signals. Con-crete (and in particular reinforced concrete) largely blocks out radio waves. Cellar ceilings are often impenetrable. Generally speaking, walls with a lot of installed metal (e.g. pipes, wires) obstruct radio waves.  RRadio reception is also impeded by large metal objects such as radiators and window frames as well as active sources of interference such as DECT telephones and microwave ovens. RHave your network infrastructure installed and tested in advance by a data systems expert.
Bosch Automotive Diagnostics Equipment (Shenzhen) Limited Safety instructions  |  VCI  |  11VCI  |  11  |  11 en RKeep the SSID and the codes for the radio link in a safe place. Make sure these data are readily to hand in case faults occur. RWe recommend a thorough inspection of the pre-mises on commissioning: Establish where in the building the VCI works properly and where the oper-ating limits are. RIf the VCI is to be used in a vehicle, radio communi-cation can be severely limited. RThe radio link is affected by weather conditions. The reception signal may therefore vary.  RPlease contact your network administrator with any queries.3.10.2  Information on access pointsA wireless access point is an electronic device, which acts as an interface between a radio network and a  cable-connected computer network. It provides a wire-less connection between the KTS 340, the PC/laptop with ESI[tronic] Startcenter and a printer, for example. iWe recommend using WLAN standard IEEE 802.11b (data transmission rate max. 11 Mbps) for the access point. The "extended range" function is not supported. Please note the following: RThe access point should be located as centrally and high up as possible, ideally under the ceiling. RThe access point antenna should face downwards towards the floor.  RIn the event of a poor connection it may be useful to change the set channel on the access point. If pos-sible, avoid using neighboring channels to channels that are already in use. RWe recommend that encryption of radio communica-tions is configured at the access point. 3.11  Satety Warning RInspection shall be carried out in good ventilation. Connect the exhaust pipe to outside if there is no enough ventilation; RSmoking and open fire are prohibited in the inspec-tion; RThe battery liquid contains sulphuric acid that could erode the skin. Avoid battery liquid from touching the skin directly in operation, especially note that the liquid shall not be splashed into eye; RThe engine temperature is high when running. Avoid touching the high-temperature parts, such as radia-tor and exhaust pipe; RPull manual brake before starting the engine. Block the front wheels and place shift lever at P or neutral gear to avoid accident when starting the engine; RIf external batter is used as power supply, pay attention to the electrode; use red alligator clip to connect anode and black alligator clip to connect cathode; RKeep all the power cables, pens and tools away from belt or other moving parts if using instrument in engine compartment; RDo not wear watch, ring and loose clothes in mainte-nance for engine compartment; RWear approved safety glasses in all inspection pro-cesses; ROnly the enclosed power adapter or power supply cable can be used for supply connection; RIf the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.
