Component Description
DC/AC converter
The converter operates with a series connection
of two power converter circuits. The primary power
converter here is a push-pull converter. It converts
the 12 V supply from the electrical system of the
vehicle to an intermediate direct current link of
approx. 320 V.
From this intermediate direct current link, the
downstream full H-bridge circuit generates a
pulse-width modulated output voltage with 230
V/50 Hz.
A controller modulates the pulse width of the
square-wave output voltage and maintains an
effective output voltage of 230 V under varying
load conditions and under different input voltages.
Here, the rising and falling edge of the positive and
negative square wave pulse are controlled
symmetrically to the ideal shape of a sine wave,
which - among other things - also makes a positive
contribution to electromagnetic compatibility.
DC/AC converters which supply a modified square
wave output voltage are referred to as 'Modified
Sine Wave Inverters".
With this type of system there is no need for a
residual current operated device for protection in
the event of accidental contact, as all of the 230 V
lines are double-insulated. Potential-free separation
of the entire 230 V voltage part from the vehicle is
provided (electrical isolation).
The output voltage of 230 V/50 Hz is not generated
until the switching voltage is present at terminal 1
of the converter via the AC mains outlet switch.
The converter operates with the ignition switched
on and a vehicle electrical supply of between 11
V and 16 V. Internal voltage monitoring in the converter deactivates the system if the input
voltage is outside this range.

In order to prevent accidents and the risk of
electrical shock, the outlet is protected with a child
safety device and the AC outlet switch.
In order to make the system safer for children, the
safety catches for the 230 V contacts can only be
pushed to one side by pressing a Euro plug evenly
into both of the connector openings.
The AC mains outlet switch only activates the
system when a consumer is connected to the
outlet. G1055639en

The contacts of the outlet exert a more powerful
grip on the plug so that it does not shake loose on
poor road surfaces. An orange LED lights up to
show that the unit has been activated.

Audio System – Overview
Keycode entry - vehicle with standard
audio system
The keycode is entered via the MENU button and
the arrow buttons. The keycode is then confirmed
with the rotary/pushbutton in the middle of the unit.
Only a limited number of attempts to enter the
correct keycode are allowed. The number of
attempts already made is shown in the display.
Following every subsequent unsuccessful attempt,
an uninterrupted waiting period must be observed
before a further attempt can be made.
The display then shows "WAIT XX" and counts
down to "0", provided the ignition remains switched
on. Once this time has expired, a new attempt can
be made to enter the keycode.
After a certain number of unsuccessful attempts
at entering the keycode, the display will show
"LOCKED" or "SAFE". The customer will now be
unable to switch on the device.
The authorized Ford dealer can remove the lock
and can make up to three further attempts.
Vehicle Identification Number (VID) -
entry - vehicle with standard audio
system
It is often extremely difficult to return stolen audio
units which have been seized by the police to their
owners.
Therefore, many Ford audio units offer the option
of, for example, entering a vehicle identification
number into the unit.
For Ford audio systems, the abbreviation VID is
used to refer to the Vehicle Identification Number.
The VIN (chassis number) or, for instance, the number plate number can be entered and this
fulfills the security function.
The VIN is programmed ex works. If the unit is
replaced, the VIN is automatically transferred by
the diagnostics system during configuration.
Self-check routine - vehicles with
standard audio system.
The audio unit must be in radio mode before
entering the Self-Diagnostic Mode.
To enter the audio unit Self-Diagnostic Mode,
switch the audio unit ON. Press pre-set buttons 3
and 6 simultaneously and then release them again.
Keycode entry - vehicles with upgraded
audio system
The station keys are used to enter the keycode.
Station key 5 is used to confirm the keycode.
Only a limited number of attempts to enter the
correct keycode are allowed. The number of
attempts already made is shown in the display.
After the second unsuccessful attempt, the person
entering the keycode will have to wait for an
uninterrupted period of time before making the next
attempt.
The display then shows "WAIT XX" and counts
down to "0", provided the ignition remains switched
on. Once this time has expired, a new attempt can
be made to enter the keycode.
After a certain number of unsuccessful attempts
at entering the keycode, the display will show
"LOCKED" or "SAFE". The customer will now be
unable to switch on the device.
