Power supply lines should only be passed in pairs as close together as possible.
Sensitive signal lines should be shielded to achieve highest possible damping,
and under this shielding they should be still passed twisted.
Metal plug connections should be used for shielded lines.
Cable bundles should be distributed in accordance with their purpose (e.g. HF,
LG, and power supply); the groups thus formed should not be routed in parallel
to the extent possible, and they should be routed with clearance.
The OPUS B2/B2 Plus relies on a connection to an ECU that controls the functions
and features of the target vehicle/machine.
Please keep all the connectors separated. All connection should be done on the
shortest distance to the unit.
