7. Securing the Board


It is the responsibility of the installer to ensure that an vibration that the ECU is subjected with the
installed Nistune board (i.e. unsurfaced roads, train lines, speed humps, grates etc) will not affect
to operation of the vehicle.

The Nistune board must be installed using machine drill pin sockets which ensure firm connection
to the ECU. However the board itself must also be secured to the ECU through suitable means
(such as hot glue) to surrounding components.

Also be aware that surrounding components are sprayed with conformal coating. This coating
may lift during vehicle operation and hot glue may become separated from components. Ensure
that either conformal coating is removed where hot glue is adhered to, or sufficient coverage of
circuit board components is made such that vibration will not affect the adhering of hot glue.

WARNING: If removable jumpers are not secured correctly and temporarily or permanently
become disconnected, ECU will not function. Note that the four pin header must be also
secured using hot glue or similar method.
