ARAG has designed and manufactured a diagnostics system for Bravo series computers and the systems to which they may be connected.
BRAVO DSB (code 467003) provides reliable diagnostics of computer, control unit or the whole system so as to enable the resolution of any potential

Securing the GPS receiver:
If the support used for fastening the receiver is in iron or steel, use the supplied magnet. Magnet features a threaded pin on which receiver is to be
mounted, by screwing it on until it locks (Fig. 14).
Makesurethatthereceiverismountedtoaperfectlyatmetalsurface,freeofanysurfacetreatmentcapableofreducingthe

If you are not sure that the magnet mounting system is completely secure, you'd better screw pin directly onto the machine chassis, as indicated in
Fig. 16, by drilling and fastening it from inside using an M10 nut.

7.1 Generalprecautionsforcableposition
•Securingthecables:
- secure the harness so that it does not interfere with moving parts;
- route the harnesses in such a way that they cannot come into contact with moving parts.
•Routingthecablestoprotectagainstwaterinltrations:
- branches in the cable runs must ALWAYS be oriented downwards (Fig. 17a).
Fig. 17a Fig. 17b
•Fittingthecablestotheconnectionpoints:
- do not force the connectors by pushing too hard or bending them: the contacts can be damaged and computer operation compromised.
UseONLYthecablesandaccessoriesindicatedinthecatalogue,havingtechnicalfeaturessuitablefortheusetobemadeof
them.
7.2 Power supply connection
Inside the package (component 12, Fig. 1) you will nd the power connector required for the connection to the machine’s battery;
Fig. 18c shows the drilling template for installing the power connector.
Connect the power connector to the battery wires using two 6 mm faston connectors, as shown in gs. 18a and 18b.
Use the cable provided in the package (component 3, Fig. 1) to connect the computer to its power supply.
