Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Closed-Circuit Current Cutout
The switching controller (8) , which supplies voltage to the Star Coupler and satellites, is switched off by the microprocessor (3) in sleep mode via the signal SHDN1 (shut down) to reduce the current draw of the module to below 1mA.
In order to ensure the necessary basic functions occur also in sleep mode, a 9.8 V linear controller (1) is switched in parallel to the switching controller and this is permanently in operation.
The wakeable S/E (transmitter/receiver) modules in the Star Coupler and a downstream 5 V linear controller (2) are supplied with this voltage. This second linear controller supplies the microprocessor.
The satellites ( SZL, ZGM ) are connected to the wakeable S/E modules, and these satellites are able to wake up the byteflight. The other S/E modules are supplied via the switch (9) by the switching controller (8) and are switched off in sleep mode.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
