8.4. Linux (optional)
The configuration of the DLT-V72 with Linux with regard to radio networks, touchscreen calibration, etc.
is described in the “Advantech Linux Manual”.
Please contact our Technical Customer Support if required.
The DLT-V72 is equipped with an automatic shutdown module.
If wired up accordingly, the DLT-V72 conveniently switches off together with the vehicle’s ignition.
As disconnecting the power supply during operation can lead to data loss, the operating system needs
to be shut down normally using the appropriate hardware and software installed on the system when the
ignition is switched off.
The DLT-V72 is connected to the vehicle with three supply cables.
DC+ and DC- are directly connected to the power supply of the vehicle, the connection is of course run
through fuses.
The supply voltage connected is then linked to the DLT-V72’s ignition input via a switch, for example, the
key switch of the ignition (also with a fuse).
Sequence
When the vehicle ignition is turned on or the DLT-V72 <Power> button is pressed, the DLT-V72 checks
its internal temperature and runs a test to confirm that the automatic shutdown function is working.
If this check of the environmental conditions is successful, the DLT-V72 starts the operating system
normally.
Once these checks have been successfully completed, the DLT-V72 starts the operating system. No
environmental conditions (e.g. the internal temperature of the device or the state of the ignition input) are
checked for one minute during startup.
After one minute, the DLT-V72’s internal temperature and the state of the ignition input are constantly
monitored.
If the DLT-V72’s internal temperature reaches a critical level, a controlled shutdown of the operating
system is carried out. The computer will remain switched off until the temperature is once again within
the permitted range.
If the ignition input is grounded or isolated during normal operation of the DLT-V72, the device will switch
to a delayed shut-off state.
The device will continue to operate normally in this state until the shut-off delay (e.g. 20 minutes) has
elapsed.
If the ignition is turned on again during this shut-off delay, the DLT-V72 will revert to a normal
operational state.
Once the shut-off delay (after run time) has elapsed, the operating system will shut down and the device
will automatically shut down (e.g. after one minute or a signal from the operating system).
If the operating system is shut down, all applications will be notified via the Windows message
“WM_QUERYENDSESSION” first.
Every application must then respond within the time set in the registry. If there is no response within the
preset time, the application will be hard-terminated.
It may not be possible to close an application automatically if it has unsaved data. Example: For
example, the WORDPAD.EXE program (included in Windows) cannot be closed automatically if there
are unsaved changes. In such a situation, WORDPAD.EXE will acknowledge the
“WM_QUERYENDSESSION” Windows message by prompting the user to choose whether to save or
not.
All applications that can be terminated without user confirmation using the keyboard shortcut <ALT> +
<F4> will normally also respond correctly to the “WM_QUERYENDSESSION” message and therefore do
not need to be hard-terminated.
General device configuration
To ensure that important data is saved correctly, the application must respond appropriately to
“WM_QUERYENDSESSION”, i.e. the backup data must be saved without user confirmation and within
the preset time.
8.5.2. Automatic shutdown configuration
Configure automatic shutdown behavior of DLT-V72 with MS Windows
Configuring the automatic shutdown is described in the “DLoG Config Manual”.

11. Mechanical installation
Recommend sequence for the mechanical installation
Requirement: The vehicle/installation location must be prepared (e.g. connection to the ignition, correct
voltage, etc.)
− Determine a suitable mounting position for the DLT-V72.
− Secure device mounting at the vehicle (RAM Mount etc.).
− Connect external accessories to the DLT-V72.
− Install an easily accessible disconnecting device, such as a switch close to the device.
− Connect all cables.
− Close the DLT-V72 with cable cover.
− Mount the DLT-V72 on the device mounting bracket.
11.1. Safety notice – observe before installing
Risk of injury and damage due to improper mechanical installation.
These mounting instruction are directed to skilled personnel. Only qualified skilled personnel
may perform the mechanical installation work on the DLT-V72.
If the DLT-V72 is incorrectly mounted, any Advantech warranty for this device will be void.
The mounting of the DLT-V72 must not endanger the safety of the operating personnel.
Example: When mounting to forklifts, the driver's field of view must remain free.
Hazardous voltage, electric shock from contact with live parts.
Do not put the DLT-V72 into operation if it is visibly damaged.
Do not open or modify the DLT-V72.
Risk of injury due to weight and sharp-edged parts.
The DLT-V72 can fall down and cause injuries due to its weight.
The strain relief rail can have sharp edges and cause cutting injuries.
Always hold the DLT-V72 by the housing with both hands.
Never use the antenna as a handle. It can break due to the weight involved.
Do not hold the DLT-V72 by the strain relief rail.
Risk of accident on vehicles due to unexpected vehicle emergency stop because of
electro-conductive connection of the DLT-V72 to the vehicle chassis.
Due to a variety of technical properties of forklifts and forklift trucks, it can be necessary to
electrically isolate DLT-V72 from the chassis of the vehicle to prevent malfunctions.
The necessity of this must be studied on a case-by-case basis, however, it is recommended for
vehicles with potential-free chassis.
For example, using rubber buffers ensures that the terminal has no electrically conducting
connection to the vehicle chassis.
If peripheral equipment (such as scanners, printers, scales or similar), which has its own
power supply unit is used, you must ensure that the power supply units of these peripherals
are galvanically separated from the supply of the vehicle. Moreover, the peripheral
equipment and its cabling must be attached electrically isolated.
If external antennas are being used, you must ensure that the antennas are isolated at the
mounting point on the vehicle chassis.
Installation environment without cooling air can overheat/damage the DLT-V72.
The DLT-V72 employs a passive cooling concept whereby the waste heat generated inside the
device is emitted from the surface of the housing.
For this system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required.
If there is no access to fresh cooling air, it may result in overheating and severe damage to the
device.
Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to dissipate
accumulated heat to the outside.
The maximum permissible ambient temperature for the entire system needs to be taken into
Only use mounting brackets, accessories and mounting materials that have been tested and
approved for the respective DLT-V72. Otherwise, any warranty for this device will be void.
All mounting brackets, accessories and mounting materials supplied by Advantech are only
intended to be used for attachment of the Industrial Computers and the peripheral devices and
11.3.1. VESA mounting hole pattern
The rear side of the DLT-V72 has a VESA-compatible mounting hole pattern with 75 x 75 mm for a RAM
Mount bracket or swivel mounting.
Fig. 11.1: VESA mounting hole pattern on the rear side of the DLT-V72
Risk of accident during vehicle operation if the mounting of the DLT-V72 becomes loose
and breaks while driving.
Ensure the following when attaching the mounting on the VESA mounting hole pattern:
− Special mechanical knowledge is required for correct mounting!
− Use suitable mounting material.
− Use suitable screws: Screws that are too long can penetrate the back of the DLT-V72 and
cause irreparable damage. Screws that are too short do not provide secure mounting.
− Use suitable washers.
− Observe the maximum screw-in depth of the hole of the mounting hole pattern: The
recommended screw-in depth of Dx1 always applies (screw diameter x 1).
−If you ordered a bracket from Advantech, it includes the suitable screws and washers.
Please use them (see examples).
Screw-in depth VESA mounting hole pattern: M6 x 6 mm
Risk of injury and damage due to improper electrical installation.
These instructions are directed to skilled personnel.
Only qualified skilled personnel are permitted to perform the electrical installation of the
DLT-V72.
Comply with the appropriate national installation regulations for any and all cable routing.
Electrical shock due to insufficient EMERGENCY shut-off of the vehicle.
If the EMERGENCY-OFF switch of the vehicle does not switch off the DLT-V72, there is a risk
of electrical shock.
Install the DLT-V72 and the EMERGENCY-OFF switch so that the DLT-V72 also switches
off when the EMERGENCY-OFF switch is operated.
Important: If a DLT-V72 with integrated UPS is installed in a vehicle, the EMERGENCY-
OFF switch of the vehicle has no effect on the DLT-V72. This also applies to the
peripherals supplied by the device.
Deployment location fueling stations, chemical plants.
The operation of electrical equipment at locations where flammable gases or vapors are present
poses a safety hazard.
Turn off the DLT-V72 when you are near gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or
places where blasting operations take place.
Overvoltage on the DLT-V72 when charging the vehicle battery.
The DLT-V72 must be disconnected from the vehicle battery while the vehicle battery is being
charged. Or it must be ensured that the maximum permitted input voltage of the DLT-V72 is
an adequate cross section and ampacity at the connection point.
12.3. Inserting the rubber seal in the cable compartment
Place the rubber seal in the frame of the cable compartment (see figure).
Press the plugs of the rubber seal into the holes of theframe.

Electric shock, fire due to incorrect cable routing or insufficient grounding.
Use only original Advantech power cables; these meet the specific requirements for low-
temperature flexibility, UV resistance, oil resistance, etc.
Make sure that the power supply cables are run without kinks and are protected (securely
protected against crushing and abrading).
The DLT-V72 may only be connected to a SELV circuit (Safety Extra Low Voltage). The
SELV circuit is a secondary circuit that is designed and protected so that its voltages will
not exceed a safe value both when operating correctly or if a single error occurs.
The DC+ connecting cable must be protected by a fuse (30 AT max.).
The ignition connecting cable must be protected by a fuse of the following type:
5x20 mm T 125 mA L / 250 V, for example, a Wickmann 195-125 mA / 250 V.
Observe correct voltage ranges.
Ensure that power supply cables are fused correctly.
Read the labeling on the cable and connect the power supply cable with the correct
polarity.
Cut the supply cable to the minimum length. This avoids tangled cables and improves the
quality of the power supply.
Connect the power supply cable to a suitable place. Ensure that the connecting cable has
