Sensor installation at an improper location can promote
aging, corrosion, movement and thereby impair the
effectiveness of the system in an accident. The sensor
must be installed on a rigid structure which does not move
and is in a protected location where it is not exposed to
extreme humidity, heat or dust and cannot be
unintentionally moved out of alignment.
* Do not install the sensor in the engine compartment
(Dust, Water, Salt).
* Do not install the sensor in the footwell (dust and
moisture from shoes).
To install the sensor, you have to drill holes for the
attachment bolts! Be very careful, make sure that you
do not damage the body, the fuel tank, fuel lines,
brake lines or other important components! Apply
the same care when tightening the attachment bolts.
To prevent injury, bolts must never protrude into
passenger compartment.

When the sensor is properly installed in a vertical position, it
will function with the same level of sensitivity locking the
retractor when acted upon by sufficient deceleration from any
direction.
Make sure to have enough space underneath the sensor for
the electrical connections.
minimum 1“ !
Short circuits can cause severe damage to your car and its
electrical system. To avoid short circuits, connect the wires
only after installation of all parts of the belt.
Follow on the instructions of paragraph 7.

Do not remove any insulation from the wire!
1. Position power supply lead (from terminal 15 in cars of
German manufacture) in groove (1) of cable connector.
2. Turn shackle (3) including the wire to position it onto the
contacts (2).
3. Press the connector with pliers until the shackle (3) is
engaged securely.
The power supply is now connected.
Now attach the main wire (red/blue) running from the sensor to
the fuse holder.
Excess wire length may be cut off.
Make sure no wire is protruding into the passengers
compartment.
The operational safety of the foot controls must not be
restricted!
Do not remove any insulation from the wire!
1. push the wire into the openings (4) of the fuse holder.
2. turn to close the shackle of the fuse holders and press it
with pliers until it is engaged securely.
3. Plug the 5 Ampere fuse into the fuse holder.
The harness belt system will function after the ignition is turned

7.3.3 Wiring of a second SCHROTH asm-autocontrol
harnessbelt system
As described in paragraph 7.3.1 (Current supply wire), it is not
necessary to connect the fuse wire of the second SCHROTH
asm-autocontrol harnessbelt system to the power supply lead
at socket 15 in a vehicle of German manufacture or a similar
socket in another car.
The connection must be made following the instructions in
paragraph 7.3.2, but directly to the main wire (red/blue) of the
first installed harness belt system between its fuse holder and
sensor.
Never connect the fuse wire of the second harness belt
system to the control wire of the first system!
The interaction of both electromagnetic systems may
severely damage other electronic systems of your vehicle.
