Notes:
◆ Earth applied e.g. to connector D contact 15.
◆ The voltage at terminal 58d is generated as a square-wave signal by the dash panel insert. The brightness
of -E87 displays is determined by the actuation time. The measuring instrument displays the average value.
◆ The actuation time at terminal 58d is governed by the illumination control setting and the brightness level
determined by the photosensor in the dash panel insert.
