General Safety

Danger to life by electric potential on vehicles with high voltage systems

Deadly high voltages are present on the HV energy store (HV battery) and on parts connected to it!

Make sure no-one can come into contact with the connections on the HV battery, connecting cables of the HV battery or other parts under high voltage!

The battery to be tested should be removed from the vehicle. If the measurements are made on an open but still installed in the vehicle battery, the vehicle must be disabled and secured.

Danger to life by electric potential on vehicles with high voltage systems

Please note that work, in particular dismantling, on high-voltage vehicles may only be carried out by suitably trained and authorized personnel.

Danger to life by electric potential on vehicles with high voltage systems

For work under tension special safety and training conditions apply!

In every situation make sure that these are observed!

Danger to life by electric potential on vehicles with high voltage systems

Make sure that all necessary safety precautions have been taken before you start measuring.

Check the HV insulation gloves for suitability before using them!

WARNING

When connecting the cell module, make sure the IR temperature sensor is not covered and ensure direct visibility between the sensor and the module.

AVL DiTEST MCS 120 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

User Manual V

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Read all instructions.

2. Care must be taken as burns can occur from touching hot parts.

3. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or if the equipment has been dropped or damaged - until it has been examined by a qualified serviceman.

4. Do not let cord hang over edge of table, bench or counter or come in contact with hot manifolds or moving fan blades.

5. If an extension cord is necessary, a cord with a current rating equal to or more than that of the equipment should be used. Cords rated for less current than the equipment may overheat. Care should be taken to arrange the cord so that it will not be tripped over or pulled.

6. Always unplug equipment from electrical outlet when not in use. Never use the cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp plug and pull to disconnect.

7. Let equipment cool completely before putting away. Loop cord loosely around equipment when storing.

8. To reduce the risk of fire, do not operate equipment in the vicinity of open containers of flammable liquids (gasoline).

9. Adequate ventilation should be provided when working on operating internal combustion engines.

10. Keep hair, loose clothing, fingers, and all parts of body away from moving parts.

11. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not use on wet surfaces or expose to rain.

12. Use only as described in the manual. Use only manufacturer´s recommended accessories.

13. ALWAYS WEAR SAFETY GLASSES. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

1 General

1.1 General Notes

The Module Conditioning System MCS 120, here after named MCS 120, is able to charge and discharge single cell modules of high voltage batteries from E-cars and hybrid cars. To guarantee an overall equal load of all cell modules on a HV-battery, the new cell module has to be charged / discharged to meet this load of the whole battery.

The conditioned „balanced“ cell module replaces the defect cell module.

MCS 120 is technically identical to MCS (Module Conditioning System). Differences exist only in the appearance of the imprints (front plate and type plate) and in the design of the user interface.

The MCS 120 is designed to use in car shops which have to do HV battery repairs. To use this device you must have a special qualification. See below.

Please follow the regulation valid to your country!

Read this operating manual and follow especially the safety hints!
