Safety Instructions

Meaning of symbols

The safety instructions in the Operating Manual, the Startup/Unpacking Instructions or in

other documentation provided, on screen displays on the tester during operation and on

the products themselves use symbols with the following meanings:

The WARNING symbol warrants particular attention for your safety.

The Caution symbol tells you that if the information is ignored, damage to the

vehicle and/or the tester could result (e.g.: Ensure that the touchscreen is not touched

with sharp, edged objects).

A Note symbol contains other, special instructions for using the device, and related

information.

Warning!

Text with this symbol contains information for your safety and how you can reduce the

risk of severe or fatal injury.

Caution!

Text with this symbol contains information about how you can avoid damage to the vehi-

cle and the tester.

Note

Text with this symbol contains additional, useful information.

Note

The general safety instructions are listed in the following. Further instructions are to be

found in the Operating Manual. Therefore read the Operating Manual before use.

Safety instructions may also appear on the screen of the tester. Follow all the instruc-

tions displayed.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Warning!

Read all instructions.

2. Warning!

Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been damaged

- until it has been examined by a qualified serviceman.

3. Warning!

Do not let cord hang over edge of table, bench or counter, or come in contact with hot

manifolds or moving fan blades.

4. Warning!

An extension cord is not allowed. For testing use only specified cables.

5. Warning!

Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use. Never yank cord to pull

plug from outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

6. Warning!

To protect against risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open contai-

ners of fuel (gasoline).

Risk of explosion

This equipment has internal arcing or sparking parts wich should not be exposed to

flammable vapour.

This equipment should be located at least 460 mm (18 inches) above the floor.

7. Warning!

Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating combustion engi-

nes.

8. Warning!

Use only as described in this manual. Use only manufactures’s recommended attach-

ments.

9. Warning!

When connected to electrical power supply, the devices correspond to protection

class 1 and are fitted with a safety-tested power cable. They may only be connected to

electrical networks with an earthed protective conductor (TN networks) or electrical out-

lets with earthed protective conductors.

10. Warning!

All measurement probes shall be used within their specifications and as described

within these instructions. All measurement clamps shall be used on appropriate insu-

lated wiring. Do not conduct measurement, if the wiring is damaged.

11. Warning!

During test drives, secure the tester with a strap on the vehicle's back seatand connect

it to the vehicle using the diagnostic cable. A second person must operate the tester

from the back seat. Operation from the front seat is too dangerous, e.g. in the event of

airbag activation.

VAS 5051

To supply the VAS 5051 with power from the vehicle battery, use only the 3 m diagnostic

cable.

12. Warning!

Electrical ignition systems carry currents of up to approx. 30 kV. Observe general safety

guidelines for workshops at all times.

13. Warning!

If you open the tester or its accessories without authorisation or carry out improper alte-

rations to them, considerable risk to you and to the device may result.

14. Caution!

Fluctuations and deviations in the power supply beyond the permitted range of toler-

ance can lead to malfunctions and damage.

15. Caution! VAS 5051 - changing fuse

For inline current measurement with the VAS 5051, only a replacement fuse of the

same type and same amperage may be installed in order to avoid risks of fire and to

protect the device. To order original parts, refer to the corresponding chapters of the

Operating Manual.

16. Caution! when connecting other vehicle makes

The VAS 505x diagnostic devices were developed for vehicles from the Volkswagen

group. If the tester is connected directly to vehicles from other manufacturers, damage

to the vehicle could result.

Therefore if vehicles of other makes are to be tested using the general OBD functions in

the self-diagnosis application, the OBD adapter cable VAS 5052/16 needs to be con-

nected between the diagnostic cable and the diagnostic connection on the vehicle (with

fewer cable connections).

17. Caution!

•Battery change may only be performed by qualified personel.

•Do not short out the battery.

•Do not incinerate the battery.

•Dispose/recycle the battery in accordance with local environmental regulations.

Warnings because of built-in Bluetooth transceiver

18. Warning!

FCC 15.105: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a

Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed

to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installa-

tion. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not

installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference

to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur

in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or

television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following

measures:

•Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

•Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

•Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the

receiver is connected.

•Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

19. Warning!

FCC 15.19: This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules and with RSS-210 of

Industry Canada.

Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

1. this device my not cause harmful interference, and

2. this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may

cause undesired operation.
