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).

DLT-V72 Operating Instructions V2.50 Preliminary 49 / 140

Device shut down

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.

DANGER

NOTICE: Physical damage

account for the specific application area.

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
