2.1 For your safety
Observe the following remarks before you commission
the device. Kistler accepts no responsibility for damages
that could arise from improper use of this product.
Prerequisite for the proper and safe use of the device is
that it is correctly stored, professionally installed and com-
missioned, as well as operated as intended and carefully
maintained.
Only persons who are familiar with the installation, com-
missioning, operation and maintenance of comparable
devices and who possess the qualications necessary for
the given task may work with the device.
Mounting a device on the outside of the vehicle may inval-
idate the general operating permit of the vehicle for use
on public roads. Observe the relevant legal requirements!
Risk of injury!
Do not mount the KiRoad Wireless Onboard Unit, mon-
itor(s), or any other item in any location that may come
into contact with the airbag in the event of air bag deploy-
ment.
If the KiRoad Wireless Onboard Unit, monitor(s), or any
other item is placed in the passenger seat, deactivate the
air bag to prevent accidental contact with the airbag in
the event of air bag deployment.
Equipment must be mounted firmly and securely. Improp-
er use or mounting of the equipment may affect the safe-
ty of the vehicle and/or occupants. The equipment must
not be mounted and/or operated in any way that may
compromise vehicle and/or occupant safety.

Do not use defective or damaged equipment, compo-
nents and/or accessories.
Do not modify or change the equipment or its accesso-
ries in any way.
Always observe the correct operating voltages when
connecting the equipment (power supply, data acquisition
and evaluation systems and other system components).
The surface temperature of the device can be
above 60 °C during operation.
Use only original equipment, components and/or acces-
sories included in the scope of delivery.
We recommend using only the cables included in the
scope of delivery. If you think it is necessary to use your
own cables, take special note of the correct pin assign-
ment.
Kistler assumes no liability for damages caused due to
the use of cables other than those delivered by Kistler.

2.3 Handling of Wheel Units
The Wheel Units are equipped with a built-in, high-
performance battery with a capacity of 6.5 Ah.
2.3.1 Further documents
UL (Underwriters Laboratories Inc.):
Standard for Lithium Batteries
UL 1642 - Fifth Edition, March 2012
UN (United Nations):
UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; Model Regulations.
UN Recommendations on the Transport of Dangerous
Goods; Manual of Tests and Criteria; Part III, sub-sec-
tion 38.3.
IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission):

alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes - Secondary lith-
ium cells and batteries for portable applications - Part:
3 – Prismatic and cylindrical lithium secondary cells
and batteries
IEC 60079-0 Electrical apparatus for explosive gas
atmospheres, General requirements
IEC 60079-11 Explosive atmospheres – Part 11:
Equipment protection by intrinsic safety "i"
IEC 62133-2 Secondary cells and batteries containing
alkaline or other non-acid electrolytes – Safety require-
ments for portable sealed secondary cells, and for
batteries made from them, for use in portable applica-
tions - Part 2: Lithium systems.
2.3.2 Storing the Wheel Units
During storage, the power connector must be removed
and the dummy plug installed in order to separate the
battery from the other electronics to inhibit parasitic
capacitance.
Self discharge
The typical self discharge in the rst year when held at a
temperature of 20 °C is less than 5 %, with a charge level
between 15 and 50 %.

KiRoad Wireless P1 System, Type 9813B... and Type 9811B...
9813B_002-790e-11.23Page 8
Storage temperature
The recommended storage temperature is between 15
°C and 30 °C without direct sunlight in a dry, clean, well-
ventilated place.
Storage outside of these temperatures can lead to a
greater amount of self discharge, lower performance and
swelling of the battery cells.
Minimum charge level during storage
A minimum charge level of 3.62 V at the end of storage is
necessary to prevent deep discharge.
If the battery voltage is low or even 0 V after storage, the
battery must be charged as quickly as possible to avoid
the voltage of one or more cells falling below a level
where the cell can be damaged.
To do this, "wake up" the battery by connecting the
supplied charging device.
When the battery receives no charge, it is likely that the
voltage in one or more cells has fallen below the voltage
level below which it is prohibited from accepting a charge
for safety reasons. Because of this, the electronic protec-
tion circuit is activated and inhibits further charging.
A deep discharge (below 2.0 V) can seriously and
irreversibly inuence the performance and service life of
the battery!
If the battery is to be stored for more than 3 months to
less than one year, proceed as follows:
Regular monitoring of the battery voltage, at least
once every 6 months
If necessary: Charge the battery up to 50 % of its
capacitance
