Infrared Transmission Device (IR)

MODELS:
DIS Tester

Situation:
The DIS Tester has been prewired for the IR transmitter that will operate your printer. If you have not yet received a printer for your DIS, please fax the following to Product Engineering at (201) 930-8401:

1. Dealership Name

2. Contact Name

3. Phone Number

4. Dealer Number

Your printer shipment will be traced and you will be contacted. The printer is a Hewlett Packard HP4ML. At this time a limited quantity of IR Transmission Devices are available. One will be sent to your dealership as they become available. IR Transmission Devices cannot be ordered from the Parts Department.

Included with the Infrared Transmission Device is a printer enclosure. The enclosure must be mounted in a suitable location (refer to instructions for mounting location) and the printer must reside inside.

The enclosure is equipped with a fan and air filter. It is designed to protect the printer from the harsh shop environment. The printer must be mounted in the enclosure. Noncompliance with this will result in non-warranty repairs.

Before you start your installation, make sure that your tester has been prewired as follows:

1. Remove rear vertical boom cover (fig. 3/d in the installation instructions included with this bulletin).

2. There should be two cables with connectors (unattached) in the boom. One thick black or grey cable, the other a black/brown two-wire cable with a brown plug.

If you do not see both of these cables, go no further. Contact the Siemens Hotline at (800) 215-1646. All future service for the IR Transmission Device will be handled by Siemens. The printer service will be handled in accordance with the instructions in Service Information 04 16 94 (4026).

A set of corrected installation instructions has been included with this bulletin. Please remove and discard the instructions that are in the box. If you have difficulty with the installation, contact the BMW Technical Hotline at (800) 472-7222. There will be no extra charge for the IR Transmission Device. The IR unit must be installed by dealership personnel. Any installation costs, such as wall anchors, are the responsibility of your dealership.

The IR unit and printer enclosure remain the property of BMW of North America, Inc.
