Special Safety Instructions for the Device

 

High voltage! Danger to life!

There is danger to life while the engine is operating due to high voltage. The following safety instructions must therefore be observed when the engine is running:

  • Do not touch the ignition sensor unit (ISU)
  • Do not remove the ignition sensor unit (ISU)
  • Do not loosen the wiring

  

Operational safety

The DetCon detonation control system detects knocking as far as possible, but its results are not binding.

    

Operational safety

V engines can only use the DetCon detonation control system with single ignition, not in dual ignition operation.

   

Operational safety

The DetCon detonation control system requires high voltage ignition wires with integrated 5 k resistance, as otherwise interference in the knocking sensor signals may be caused. Any other ignition wires must be replaced.

    

Operational safety

Please note that the knocking sensors must be mounted according to the firing order of the cylinders. Refer to the pertinent section Wiring of the Knocking Sensors.

  

Risk of damage

The knocking sensor attachment screws must not be tightened too firmly, as otherwise the sensors will be damaged and no longer function properly. Please observe the prescribed tightening torques:

  • Cast iron: 30 Nm (20.1 lb-ft) at M8 x 25 mm (0.98")
  • Aluminum: 20 Nm (14.8 lb-ft) at M8 x 30 mm (1.18")
