6 General information on the electrical connections
6.1 Laying cables
NOTICE!
A
Cables and connections which are not properly installed will cause malfunctions
or damage to components. Correct installation of cables and connections en-
sures lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted components.
Please observe the following instructions:
As far as possible, use original openings or alternative openings for the connecting ca-
ble duct, e. g. the paneling edges, ventilation grilles or blank panels. If no openings are
available, you must drill holes for the cables. Check beforehand that there is sufficient
space on the other side for the drill head to come out.
Wherever possible lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected there than
outside the vehicle.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well secured (use
additional cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).
To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them, ensure that they are far enough
away from hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light sys-
tems, fans, heater etc.).
Wrap insulating tape around the plug connections of the connecting cables and every
connection on a cable (including inside the vehicle) to protect them from exposure to
water (fig. 9, page 6). The most suitable tape for this purpose is self-vulcanising
tape, for example from 3M.
When laying electric connections (fig. 3, page 4), ensure that
– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
– They are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection
Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use cable
binders, insulating tape or glue the cables in place.
Protect every through-hole made in the bodywork against water penetration, e. g. by
using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the the cable sleeve with
sealant.
NOTE
I
Do not start sealing the through-holes until you have completed all installation
work on the camera, and the required cable lengths have been laid.
