Sontheim_Telemetry_Verona_Gen 4_operations manual.docx Version of the Document: 2.1
7.5. General Implementation Instructions
Reliable operation cannot be guaranteed if samples or prototypes are used in series systems.
The proposed circuits do not imply any technical liability for the system on the part of Sontheim
Industrie Elektronik GmbH.
Incorrect connections could cause unexpected signals at the outputs of the ECU.
The ECU firmware/software must be installed and removed by Sontheim Industrie Elektronik
GmbH or the system integrator in order to uphold the warranty.
It is not permissible to open the ECU or to modify or repair the ECU. Modification or repairs to
the wiring could result in dangerous malfunctions. Repairs to the ECU may only be performed
by Sontheim Industrie Elektronik GmbH.
The Verona Gen 4 / COMhawk xt may not used for functional safety purpose.
When the electronics are not energized, no pins must be connected to a voltage source. Thus,
when the current supply is switched off, the supply for the electronics, the power outputs and
the external sensor supply have to be switched off together.
While commissioning, flashing and maintenance, the ECU and the machine/vehicle may pose
unforeseen hazards. Before commissioning the system, you must therefore ensure that the
vehicle and the vehicle or machine are in a safe condition.
Make sure that nobody is in the system or vehicle or machine‘s danger zone.
No defective or incorrectly functioning components may be used. If the components should fail
or demonstrate faulty operation, repairs must be performed immediately.
ECUs used to develop software may only be installed in series production machines if it can be
guaranteed that these controllers have not been flash programmed with new software more than
500 times. Controllers that have been programmed more than 500 times must not be installed
in series production machines!
7.6. Requirements on the Installation Point and Position
Do not install the ECU close to parts that generate considerable heat (e.g. exhaust).
Radio transmitting equipment and mobile telephones must not be used in the passenger or
driver‘s cab without a suitable antenna or near the control electronics.
A sufficiently large distance to radio transmitting systems must be maintained.
The ECU meets the ECE R 10 requirement for electromagnetic immunity and emissions.
All connectors must be unplugged from the electronics during electrical welding and painting
operations.
Cables/wires must be sealed individually to prevent water from entering the device.
The ECU must not be electrostatically charged, e.g. during painting operations.
Install the ECU in such a way that the electrical plug is not facing upwards. This ensures that
any condensation water that may form can flow out. Also, consider and protect the wiring
harness against water entry and especially in the area of the plugs.
Standing and permanently running water are not permitted anywhere near the circumferential
groove (lid/base connector) or the pressure balance element.
7.7. Notes on Transport and Storage
If the ECU is dropped, the controller must not be used any longer as invisible damage could
have a negative impact on reliability.

Operations Manual
© Sontheim Industrie Elektronik GmbH 13.05.2022 page 7 of 30
Sontheim_Telemetry_Verona_Gen 4_operations manual.docx Version of the Document: 2.1
Control units must be stored with a mean relative humidity of 60% and at a temperature between
-10 °C and +50 °C. Storage temperatures between -40 °C and +90 °C are briefly permissible,
for up to 100 hours.
After a storage time of more than 5 years, the ECU must be examined by the manufacturer.
7.8. Notes on Wiring and Circuitry
The electronics and the power outputs of an ECU must be fed from the same power source.
When wiring the output stages, the maximum cumulative output current for each output stage
group should be noted. The cumulative output current means a permanent, simultaneous
actuation of the output stages.
The product may only be wired when it is de-energized.
Lines to the electronics must not be routed close to other power-conducting lines in the system,
or vehicle.
The wiring harness should be fixated mechanically in the area in which the ECU is installed
(spacing < 150 mm). The wiring harness should be fixated so that in-phase excitation with the
controller occurs (e.g. at the controller bolting point).
If possible, lines should be routed in the vehicle interior.
If the lines are routed outside the vehicle, make sure that they are securely fixed.
Lines must not be kinked or twisted, must not rub against edges and must not be routed through
sharp-edged ducts without protection.
Lines are to be routed with sufficient spacing to hot or moving vehicle parts.
Digital outputs must not be linked or bridged.
Digital outputs with current measurement must not be used to light bulbs (due to very low cold
resistance).
The voltages supplies sources must not be pulled up by an external connection, e.g. the
application of a higher voltage, because they operate only as a voltage source but not as a
voltage sink. Pulling up a sensor supply may result in unexpected malfunctions and damage of
the ECU in lasting operation.
The high side outputs must not be externally connected to battery.
7.9. Intended Use
The ECU is designed for use in automotive applications as vehicle, trucks, busses and trailer
and mobile working machines provided no limitations / restrictions are made to certain
application areas in this data sheet.
Operation of the ECU must generally occur within the operating ranges specified and released
in data sheet, particularly with regard to voltage, current, temperature and other described
environmental influences.
Use outside of the specified and released boundary conditions may cause damage to
components, which could result in consequential damage to the vehicle, trucks, busses, trailer
and mobile working machine.
7.10. Improper Use
Any use of the ECU other than that described in chapter „Intended use“ is considered to be
improper.
Use in explosive areas is not permissible.
Damage resulting from improper use and/or from unauthorized interference in the component
not described in this manual or data sheet render all warranty and liability claims void with
respect to the manufacturer.
