lowed. All applicable regulations and statutes regarding operation must be
strictly followed when using this product.
2.3 Intended Use
The ES910.3-A has a simulation controller and the ECU interfaces CAN, LIN, ETK
and XETK and also one interface for Daisy Chain modules (ES4xx/ES63x/ES93x
modules).
If additional interfaces are required, the extension slot of the ES910.3-A can be
used with the ES920.1 FlexRay Module, the ES921.1 CAN Module or with the
ES922.1 CAN FD Module.
Application area of the product
This product was developed and approved for applications in the automotive
sector. The module is suitable for use in interiors, in the passenger cell or in the
trunk of vehicles. The module is not suitable for installation in the engine com-
partment and similar environments. For use in other application areas, please
contact your ETAS contact partner.
Note
Carefully read the documentation (Product Safety Advice and this User's Guide)
that belongs to the product prior to the startup.

ETAS Basic Safety Notices
Requirements for the technical state of the product
The product is designed in accordance with state-of-the-art technology and rec-
ognized safety rules. The product may be operated only in a technically flawless
condition and according to the intended purpose and with regard to safety and
dangers as stated in the respective product documentation. If the product is not
used according to its intended purpose, the protection of the product may be
impaired.
Requirements for operation
• Use the product only according to the specifications in the corresponding
User's Guide. With any deviating operation, the product safety is no lon-
ger ensured.
• Observe the requirements on the ambient conditions.
• Do not use the product in a wet or damp environment.
• Do not use the product in potentially explosive atmospheres.
Electrical safety and power supply
• Observe the regulations applicable at the operating location concerning
electrical safety as well as the laws and regulations concerning work
safety!
• Connect only current circuits with safety extra-low voltage in accordance
with EN 61140 (degree of protection III) to the connections of the module.
• Ensure that the connection and setting values are being followed (see the
information in the chapter "Technical data").
• Do not apply any voltages to the connections of the module that do not
correspond to the specifications of the respective connection.
Power supply
• The power supply for the product must be safely disconnected from the
supply voltage. For example, use a car battery or a suitable lab power sup-
ply.
• Use only lab power supplies with double protection to the supply network
(with double insulation/reinforced insulation (DI/ RI)).
• The lab power supply must be approved for an operating altitude of
5000 m and for an ambient temperature of up to 70 °C.
• In regular operation of the modules as well as very long standby opera-
tion, a discharge of the vehicle battery is possible.
Connection to the power supply
• The power cable must not be connected directly to the vehicle battery or
lab power supply, but via a fuse of up to 20 A.
• Ensure that the connections of the lab power supply, the power supply at
the module and the vehicle battery are easily accessible!

ES920.1 - User’s Guide 10
ETAS Basic Safety Notices
• Route the power cable in such a way that it is protected against abrasion,
damages, deformation and kinking. Do not place any objects on the
power cable!
Approved power supply cables
Power supply cables suitable for the ES910.3-A module can be delivered in two
designs:
• power supply cable CBP120 with standard banana plugs (current design)
and
• power supply cable CBP1205 with safety banana plugs (new design).
De-energizing the module
The module does not have an operating voltage switch. The module can be de-
energized as follows:
• Disconnecting the cables from the measurement inputs
and
• Disconnecting the module from the power supply
– Disconnecting the module from the lab power supply
Separating device is the lab plug of the power cable or the plug of the
power cable at the connection of the module
or
– Disconnecting the module from the vehicle battery
Separating device is the lab plug of the power cable or the plug of the
power cable at the connection of the module
or
– Disconnecting the vehicle battery.
DANGER!
Dangerous electrical voltage!
Connect the power cable only with a suitable vehicle battery or with
a suitable lab power supply! The connection to power outlets is not
allowed!
To prevent an inadvertent insertion in power outlets, ETAS recom-
mends to equip the power cables with safety banana plugs in areas
with power outlets.
Note
Power supply cables with safety banana plug are suitable only for connection
to voltage sources with safety socket.
Note
Application, permissible voltages and all the other technical data of the power
supply cables are identical for both designs.
