IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Important! Read all of the safety precautions:
Warning!
! If the mains cable or the power supply unit is defective or the MIB is
damaged, the MIB may not be used until a qualified expert has
conducted a check.
Warning!
! Mains power cables and measuring cables must not be routed over
tables, benches and cabinets, and they must not become obstacles.
They must not be placed in the vicinity of hot objects or rotating parts.
Warning!
! The mains power cable provided must not be extended. Where
possible, use only the mains power cable supplied.
Warning!
! If you do not use the MIB for a longer time, disconnect it from the power
supply. When you pull the power supply plug, do not pull on the cable,
but instead grasp the power supply plug itself and pull it out of the
power socket.
Warning!
! You may not operate the MIB in the vicinity of open fuel tanks or near
floor level, or in pits or similar, as otherwise there is a danger of
explosion or fire due to gases and/or vapors.
Warning!
! The electrical installation must comply with the requirements specified
in this manual and may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
i-2 BMW Group, Measuring Technology Interface Box

Warning!
! Only use the MIB in the manner specified in this manual. Use only the
recommended and approved devices and components with the MIB.
Warning!
! If you open the unit without authorization or perform improper repairs
on it, you may be exposed to considerable danger.
Important!
Fluctuations and deviations in the power supply voltage outside the
permissible tolerance can lead to operating failures.

General Information
1 General Information
This documentation contains all information required for operation,

maintenance, care and service for the proper use of the Measuring
Technology Interface Box, referred to in the document at the "MIB".
Knowledge of and technically flawless implementation of the safety in-
structions and warnings contained in this documentation are a prereq-
uisite for safe commissioning and for safety during operation and
maintenance of the MIB.
1.1 Reason
The current power stage of the measuring technology of the Group

Tester One (GT1 basic measuring technology) mainly contains the
functionality of the MoDiCIII, i.e. the multifunction cable 1 and 2, as well
as the current clip, 50 A can be connected to the control unit.
To guarantee the measuring technology scope of the DISplus including
the measuring cables, the MIB is offered. All required measuring and
stimulus cables can be mounted on the MIB.
With these measures and the use of the MIB, the GT1 vehicle diagnosis
system is brought up to measuring technology level identical to that of
the DISPlus.
1.2 Safety instructions
Observe the safety instructions for the MIB. The general safety instruc-
tions are provided following the Table of Contents.
Use in Accordance With Intended Purpose

• The described product has been developed, manufactured, tested
and documented taking account of the relevant safety standards.
• The MIB is used in conjunction with the GT1 for conducting mea-
suring-related actions on the vehicle.

4.1 Overview of components/accessories
The MIB is shipped in a carton that contains the MIB itself and the de-
fined connection cables for the measuring technology. A storage case
for the MIB and the cables is not included in the delivery scope.
• MIB
• External power supply unit without connection cable for country-
specific model
• Cables/sensors

Note
The MFK1, MFK2 and the current clip, 50 A (see below) intended for connec-
tion and operation are not accessories in the delivery scope of the MIB. The
MFK1 and MFK2 are shipped with the GT1, while the current clip, 50 A was
supplied with the DISPlus or is available separately.

Installing System
4.2 Installation of MIB in conjunction with workshop

cart GT1
To ensure a high level of mobility of the GT1 and MIB, which can
therefore assume measuring-related measure identical to those of the
DISPlus, a workshop cart was designed.
The concept provides for a fixed location of the GT1 incl. the docking
station and a place for the MIB, the connection cables, a diagnostic
head and an OPPS/OPS.
Two drawers are available for storing various accessories.
Fig. 4-1 Mounting MIB in workshop cart
The compartment below the fold-up surface for the GT1 is used to hold
the MIB. Recesses for the feet of the MIB housing are provided in the
shelf. This already prevents the MIB from sliding. In addition, a retaining
strap is installed via two slots with which the MIB can be secured on the
shelf (Velcro (tm) strip). This secures the MIB on the workshop cart.
In this case, the connection cables for the various measuring
technology measures are connected to the MIB once and hooked into
the cable rack.
Note:
Separate operating instructions "Workshop Cart for the GT1" on the setting
up the workshop cart are provided on the documentation CD.

Care and Maintenance of MIB
6 Care and Maintenance of MIB
6.1 Visual inspection
So that the MIB can be used to optimum effect, it is required that you
keep it in perfect condition.
Perform regular visual inspections of the MIB. Check all components

for damage (e.g. breaks) and soiling.
Regularly check all cables for damage.
Check the pins of the ODU plug or the multi-pin connection plug for
bending.
Warning!
! Damaged connection cables must be replaced in all cases.
6.2 General care instructions
Observe the following instructions for care of the MIB:
• Make sure that your MIB is securely set up, i.e. either in the direct
vicinity of the GT1 docking station location or preferably as a
diagnosis unit together with the GT1 on the workshop cart
designed for this purpose.
• Protect the MIB from moisture, exposure to direct sunlight and
extreme temperatures.
• Further information on the recommended operating temperature
and relative humidity range for the MIB is contained in Chapter 3 of
this manual.
• Protect the MIB from the penetration of liquids.
• Disconnect the MIB from the external power supply unit before you
conduct the maintenance work listed below.

Care and Maintenance of MIB
6.3 Cleaning MIB housing
Wipe the housing of the MIB with a soft cloth slightly moistened with
water. If you use cleaning agents, the coating may be discolored or
damaged.
6.4 Precautionary measures for using cables
Above all make sure that the cables do not become kinked.
Carefully connect cables to the MIB and secure than with the threaded
screws on the plug if necessary.
Only connect adapters/cables to the properly marked connection
sockets on the MIB.
Make sure the cables do not cause people to trip.

If you use the workshop cart, hang the cables/adapters in the intended
positions on the cable rack again after use.

Troubleshooting
7 Troubleshooting
The Measuring Technology Interface Box is a product of SIEMENS. It

was inspected before it left the factory. Carefully selected components
and maintenance of numerous quality controls guarantee high
resistance of the MIB. Should a fault occur in spite of this, please
consult the instructions in this chapter before contacting the Customer
Service responsible.
Faults that can occur on the MIB can be divided into the following
groups:
• Faults caused by environmental influences: ambient temperature,
(aggressive) moisture, dust, soot, grease, flying sparks, mains
supply, transformers, large electric motors, radio-control systems,
vibration.
• Faults in the cable connections to the GT1/vehicle.
• Faults in the power supply via the power supply unit.
• Faults on the GT1 that can affect the operation of the MIB.
Please attempt to determine the fault and localize it as precisely as

possible.
Note
Via the telephone or fax numbers familiar for inquiries on the DISPlus and GT1,
SIEMENS also assumes hotline responsibilities for the MIB and carries out the
agreed upon full range of service.

Troubleshooting
7.1 Fault reports to Customer Service
If the fault cannot be remedied, please contact SIEMENS Service

(see Chapter 8).
Note
You can best send your fault report to SIEMENS Service with a FAX report. The
two-page fault report (see the documentation of the workshop systems under
"GT1/Form") must be filled out completely and faxed to the support center
responsible for your country (see Chapter 8).
Describe the fault pattern as precisely as possible (report etc.), when and after
which action the fault occurred, what you have done to pinpoint the fault, and
what the result of this was.
7.2 Replacing MIB or components
During the warranty period or the three-year term of your Service
