13. Warning! 

Electrical ignition systems have voltages up to about 30 kV. It is mandatory to observe the general safety 
guidelines for workshops. 

 
 

         

14. Warning! 

Unauthorised opening of the tester including accessories or tampering may cause substantial hazards for 
the person doing it and the device. 

 
 

         

15. Warning! 

If the mains cable, a diagnostic or test lead, the tester or any other accessory under voltage is damaged, it 
must not be used until a qualified specialist has given a clearance. 

 
 

         

16. Warning! 

If you are not going to use the device for a long time, please switch if off using the on/off button and isolate  
it from the mains, if the battery is charged. Just switching off is not sufficient to isolate the power supply, 
charging circuit and any connected accessories from the mains. 

 
 

         

17. Warning! 

During a thunderstorm data transmission lines must not be connected or removed and the device must not 
be operated. 

 

 

18. Caution!  Workshop vehicle - ventilation 

 

When operating the VAS 6150 in a workshop vehicle, take care that the table power supply for the tester 
and printer has sufficient ventilation. Remember that even when the tester is switched off, the battery is 
getting charged and the printer is on-line. This is true even for the energy saving mode.
