Observe the following safety instructions for handling cables:
 Waterthatentersthecablecoreorcablesleevecandamageelectronic
controlunits.Cableswithopenendsshouldthereforealwaysbe
connectedinthedriver’scabtoensurethatnowatercanenterthem.
Wherethisisnotpossible,useasuitablecablejointbox,e.g.AK190.This
applies in particular when using the prepared brake interface on the
Daimler Econic Euro6.
 Planyourinstallationpositionsothatcablescannotbecomekinked.
 Fastenthecablesandconnectorssothattheplugconnectionsarenot
subjectedtoanytensilestressorlateralforces.
 Neverroutecablesoversharpedgesorinthevicinityofaggressivemedia
(e.g.acids).
 Routethecabletotheconnectionssothatnowatercanenterthe
connector.
 Fastenthecabletiessothatthecableisnotdamaged.
 Whenusingtools,pleasenotetheinstructionsofthecable-tie
manufacturer.
 Ifthecablesaretoolong,donotwindthemupbutlaytheminloops.
Observe the following safety instructions for handling ultrasonic sensors:
 Thesurfacetowhichtheultrasonicsensorismountedmustbeevenand
mustbeatleast2mmlargerthantheultrasonicsensor(thisisrequired
toprotectthedrainageholesintherearagainstdirecthigh-pressure
cleaning).
 UltrasonicsensorsmustnottobemountedinaU-prolebecausethis
couldcausereections.WABCOrecommendstomounttheultrasonic
sensorsmechanicallyprotectedtoavoiddamage.
 Theabilitytodetectobjectslargelydependsontheultrasonicsensors'
positioningonthevehicle.Makesurethattheultrasonicsensorsare
installedataheightofatleast40cm.
 Noothervehiclecomponentsshouldbeinstalledwithintheultrasonic
sensor'srangeofvision.
 Therateofdetectiondependsonobjectsurfaces:
 Ultrasoundisbestreectedbysmoothsurfacesthatarepositionedata
rightangletothesound'sdirection.
 Smallandunfavourablesurfacessuchasmeshedstructures,furry
orhairysurfacesatanobliqueangletothesound'sdirectionarenot
detected so easily.
