Safety
2.4 General safety instructions
The Yard Reader Station has been built in accordance with the
latest applicable directive using state-of-the-art technology in
line with generally recognized safety rules and regulations.
Nevertheless, hazards can arise and damage can occur when
installing and using the Yard Reader Station.
The following safety instructions for the safe installation and
fault-free operation of the Yard Reader Station must be obser-
ved:
●Comply with the occupational safety regulations applicab-
le in the respective country.
●Check all of the parts and connecting cables of the
Yard Reader Station for visible signs of external da-
mage prior to starting work. Do not commission the
Yard Reader Station if it is damaged.
●Repairs to the Yard Reader Station must only be carried

Safety
2.5 Speciic hazards
Danger due to electric current!
Contact with live cables or components poses a risk to life!
●Work on electrical equipment may be carried out only
by qualiied electricians or trained personnel under the
management and supervision of qualiied electricians in
accordance with electrical safety regulations.
●Any defects identiied on electrical systems/assemblies/
operating resources must be rectiied immediately. Until
defects are eliminated, there is a serious risk and the sys-
tem must therefore not be used in a defective condition.
●Never work on live parts! System components on which
repair work is to be carried out must be de-energized, if
speciied. First check that the disconnected parts are in
a de-energized state and then ground and short-circuit
these parts as well as isolate adjacent live parts.
●Fuses must not be repaired or bypassed. Use only original
fuses with the speciied current rating.
●If insulation is damaged, switch o the power supply im-
mediately and arrange for the insulation to be repaired.
●Keep live parts away from moisture to prevent short
circuits.

Design and Functionality
4 Design and Functionality
4.1 Description of function
The Yard Reader Station including the additional antenna is a
hardware component for the digital tire-monitoring platform
ContiConnect™.
The Yard Reader Station receives all of the data from the tire
sensors located in the reception area and transmits this infor-
mation to the Continental database via a mobile radio connec-
tion.
The Yard Reader Station is installed in an area in which vehic-
les stop for at least two minutes as the sensors automatically
send their data every two minutes. The additional antenna can
also be used to improve the reception range and is wired to the
Yard Reader Station.
The Yard Reader Station is a comfort system. It cannot be com-
pletely ruled out in the event of adverse conditions that the
Yard Reader Station does not receive tire sensor data or con-
versely, that the Yard Reader Station does not transmits the
data.
