1.6 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The base vehicle has been tested and certified
to all relevant legislation relating to
Electromagnetic Compatibility. All retrofitted
equipment must also comply with the relevant
legislation.
In addition, 2-way radio communication and other
equipment with built in radio transmitters (for
example anti-theft alarms, tracking devices)
should only be fitted to the vehicle if they operate
within the listed frequency bands and do not
exceed the maximum transmission output power
specified below
Frequency Overview
Maximum Output
Power (W)
Frequency (MHz)
501-54
5068-87.5
50142-176
50220-225
50380-512
10806-940
101200-1400
101710-1885
101885-2025
1.6.1 Antenna Location
The antenna can be placed on the roof of the
vehicle with the exception of cellular phone car
kits which transmit power below 2W. Such low
power devices may also be installed at the
bottom of the A-pillar behind the trim or on the
front windscreen.
Installation must be performed by suitably
qualified personnel in accordance with the
equipment manufacturer's installation instructions
and comply with the ISO technical specification
ISO/TS 21609: Road Vehicles - Electromagnetic
Compatibility guidelines for the installation of after
market radio frequency transmitting equipment.
In addition, the following guidelines must be
followed during installation:
•Do not mount any transceiver, microphones,
speakers or any other item in the deployment
path of the airbag system.
•Do not attach antenna cables to any part of
the original vehicle wiring or fuel and brake
pipes.
•Antenna and power cables must be a
minimum of 100mm from any electronic
modules and airbags.
•Make sure that any additional power feed is
taken directly from the SVO fuse box (when
available) or a recommended connection
point.
•Power and ground cables should be of higher
current capacity that the protection fuse.
Ground feed must be taken directly to the
battery.
Post installation checks must be made for
disturbances from and to all electrical equipment
in the vehicle both in the standby and transmit
modes. Checks should be carried out with the
ignition ON, engine running and be followed by a
road test at various speeds.

1.8 End of Life Vehicle (ELV) Directive
The EU End-of-Life Vehicle (ELV) directive
requires that environmental and recycling aspects
are integrated in the development process of
new components and vehicles. This includes
requirements with aspect to:
•The overall recyclability (85%) / recoverability
(95%) of vehicles.
•Limited use of hazardous substances including
the elimination of prohibited substances such
as lead, hexavalent chromium cadmium and
mercury).
•Publication of dismantling information.
•Parts Marking according to the corresponding
ISO Standards: ISO 1043-1, 1043-2 and 11469
for plastics and ISO 1629 for rubber materials.
•Increasing use of recycled materials.
•Producers meet all, or a significant part of, the
costs to take back End-of-Life Vehicles
In addition to the requirements resulting from the
End-of-Life directive other environmental targets
should be taken into consideration such as:
•minimizing costs and environmental burden
along the product life-cycle.
•Maximizing use of renewable materials e.g.
natural fibres.
•minimizing the presence of substances
impacting vehicle interior air quality / clean
compartment or allergenic reactions (please
refer to 'Technischer Überwachungsverein
TÜV TOXPROOF). This refers to aspects like
smell, fogging, toxicity and allergy coming from
material in the interior.
•eliminate use of prohibited substances which
are listed in the Global Automotive Declarable
Substance List (GADSL) at
http://www.gadsl.org.
For continued legal compliance and
environmental performance of all Ford products
it is essential that any conversion of the vehicles
is in compliance with the requirements listed
above.
This is not a complete list of all legal requirements
to be met by every converted vehicle.
NOTE: For further information please contact
your local National Sales Company representative,
or Local Ford Dealer. If they are unable to help
you then please contact the Vehicle Converter
Advisory Service at [email protected].
