In order to avoid personal injuries and damage to property, you must read and understand the following
safety instructions and hazard warnings prior to installation and use of this device. Keep this documentation
(and manual) always near the device.
1.1.1 Proper Use and Intended Purpose
The GLA618 is an extension device for the G.i.N. data logger, which is mainly used in the automotive and
commercial vehicles industries. The device is an AUX+splitter designed for industrial needs that can connect
multiple additional devices to a data logger via the AUX+ interface.
The device may only be operated in a closed state. In particular, PCBs must not be visible. The device may
only be operated according to the instructions and descriptions of this manual. Only suitable electric power
supply designed for the device and accessories manufactured or approved by G.i.N. GmbH may be used.
The device is exclusively designed for use by skilled personnel as its operation may result in serious
personal injuries and damage to property. Therefore, only those persons may operate the device who have
understood the possible effects of the actions which may be caused by the device; are specifically trained in
handling the device, bus systems and the system intended to be influenced; and have sufficient experience
in using the device safely.
To ensure the operation of the GLA618, connected cables should not exceed a length of 30 m.
1.1.2 Hazards
The device may control and/or otherwise influence the behaviour of electronic control units. Serious hazards
for life, body and property may arise, in particular, without limitation, by interventions in safety relevant
systems (e.g. by deactivating or otherwise manipulating the engine management, steering, airbag and/or
braking system) and/or if the device is operated in public areas (e.g. public traffic, airspace). Therefore, you
must always ensure that the device is used in a safe manner. This includes, inter alia, the ability to put the
system in which the device is used into a safe state at any time (e.g. by „emergency shutdown“), in
particular, without limitation, in the event of errors or hazards.
Comply with all safety standards and public regulations which are relevant for the operation of the system.
Before you operate the system in public areas, it should be tested on a site which is not accessible to the
public and specifically prepared for performing test drives in order to reduce hazards.

errors are caused by improper use of the device or use not according to its intended purpose. The same
applies to damage or errors arising from insufficient training or lack of experience of personnel using the
