Before beginning work the negative Terminal of
the battery should be disconnected.
Use of information provided by the VDO 110mm gauge does not release
you from the responsibility over your ship and demands good
seamanship. Always use your nautical experience in interpreting the
displayed values.
If you carry out this work yourself, wear suitable working clothes. Do not
wear wide fitting clothes. If you have long hair, wear a hair-net. Clothes
and hair can get caught in moving and rotating parts.
Wearing of metallic or conductive jewellery, such as necklaces, bracelets,
rings etc. is not allowed when working on the electrical installation on
board.
Please note that with disconnection of the battery, all volatile electronic
memories lose their input values and must be reprogrammed.
Explosion hazard! Before beginning work on
the engine compartment of petrol engines,
switch on the ventilator of the engine
compartment.
Ensure that necessary clearance is provided behind the cable opening, at
the position where the gauge is to be installed.
When selecting the installation position for the gauge, take care that no
stringers are drilled. Be careful also of furniture, floorboards,
superstructure boxes, cables etc.
When carrying out installation work with a sealing compound, solvent
vapours can be formed. Make sure of adequate ventilation and follow the
instructions for use of the sealing compound manufacturer.
