In this manual, the abbreviation MVB always refers to the module, not to

When talking about the Multifunction Vehicle Bus, the entire name is used.
This manual includes instructions for the following tasks:
Installing the MVB into a rack
Troubleshooting the MVB on board
Troubleshooting the MVB with software
Note that this manual does not include instructions for the installation or maintenance
of the rack or its components. For these instructions, refer to the manual provided by
the rack manufacturer.
Also, this manual does not include information on other EKE-Trainnet

products. If you
need to check other modules than the MVB during troubleshooting, refer to the manual
of the corresponding module.
1.2 Safety considerations
The MVB is a low voltage device. In a normal situation, it presents no safety risk to the
user. However, in case of a severe train malfunction or wiring errors, there is a risk of
an electric shock through the bus cables.
