Basic safety guidelines
2. Basic safety guidelines
2.1. Always install, operate, and maintain the unit properly
The DLoG MTC 6 was designed and built according to modern technology and accepted
safety regulations. However, the operation of the DLoG MTC 6 can endanger personnel
or third parties and cause damage to the device and other material assets when for
example the device is
• installed incorrectly or improperly.
• operated by untrained or uninstructed personnel.
• improperly operated and maintained.
• not used as intended.
The operator commitments in regards to safety (accident prevention regulations, work
protection) are to be followed.
2.2. Safety
In order to prevent injury and damage, please read and observe the following safety
guidelines prior to assembly and commissionin
for any and all damages that can be attributed to non-compliance with these guidelines.
g. The manufacturer assumes no liability
2.3. Intended usage
The DLoG MTC 6 is a multifunction terminal for stationary and mobile use in commercial
applications (for example logistics, storage, manufacturing). A different or extraordinary
usage is not permitted.
For resulting damage the user/operator of the DLoG MTC 6 is solely responsible.
This also applies to any changes you make to the device.
Compliance with the contents of the safety guidelines is particularly important for the
proper use of this device.
DLoG MTC 6 User’s Manual V1.00 5
Basic safety guidelines
2.4. Initial operation of the device
Area of application: not for use in life-support systems or critical safety systems
The device is not designed for use in life-support systems or critical safety systems
where system malfunction can lead to the direct or indirect endangerment of human
life. The operator shall take full responsibility for using the device in these situations.
The device cannot be used in combination with safety functions for machines and
equipment which have to conform to the requirements of EN 954-1.
Risk of injury during transit or installation
The unit could fall during transit or installation and cause injury. Always ensure that
there are two persons available when installing or removing the device.
Choice of location – observe the protection class
The ambient conditions at the point of installation must comply with the device’s
protection class.
Supply of fresh air – avoid overheating the unit
The DLoG MTC 6 is based on a passive cooling concept. As a result, the waste heat
which is produced inside the device is emitted over the surface of the housing. For this
system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required. Never install the
system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to dissipate
accumulated heat to the outside.
If the DLoG MTC 6 is not able to draw in fresh cooling air, this may cause overheating
and severe damage to the unit.
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for the system needs to be taken into
account for the concrete application area.
Install an easily accessible disconnecting device
The device is not
supplied with a disconnector (switch) that can be accessed
externally. The power supply connector is therefore used as a disconnector. Therefore
it needs to be easily accessible.
If it is necessary to establish a fixed connection, an easily accessible disconnecting
device (e.g. a switch such as a circuit breaker) should be installed close to the device.
Ensure that the power cable is laid so that it is mechanically protected.
6 User’s Manual V1.00 DLoG MTC 6
Basic safety guidelines
Laying power supply cables – observe the local installation regulations
The power supply cables must be laid in accordance with the applicable local
installation regulations.
Ensure that no persons are injured in case the mounting bracket breaks
The DLoG MTC 6/10 may in no case be installed in such a way that persons can be
injured during a breaking of the mounting bracket (e.g. fatigue break).
If the device is mounted in a place where people can be injured if the bracket should
break, appropriate safety measures must be put in place (e.g. install a security cable
in addition to the device bracket).
Radio performance: Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power
Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power which is specified by
each separate country. DLoG MTC 6 users must verify this themselves.
2.5. Power supply
Operation in an emergency: immediately disconnected the device from the power
supply
In case of emergency (such as damage to the power cable , or housing, or ingress of
liquid or other foreign bodies), the device must be disconnected immediately from the
power supply. Contact technical support staff at once.
Protection of the power supplies
If, after replacement, the fuse fed by the internal power supply blows again, the device
must be sent in for servicing immediately.
Danger of electrocution when cleaning/servicing the device
In order to avoid electrocution always disconnect the DLoG MTC 6 from the power
supply before cleaning or servicing the device.
When charging the vehicle battery please note
While charging the vehicle battery the DLoG MTC 6 has to be either disconnected
from the battery or it has to be determined that the maximum allowed input voltage of
the DLoG MTC 6 is not exceeded.
DLoG MTC 6 User’s Manual V1.00 7

Do not use the DLoG MTC 6 when a cable or plug is damaged. Have the damaged
parts replaced immediately!
Do not connect or disconnect any cables during storms
Data cables must never be connected or disconnected during an electrical storm.
2.6. External devices
The use of additional wiring and other peripheral devices, which are not recommended or
sold by the manufacturer can result in fire, electrocution or personal injury.
If a power supply is used, only use the power supply recommended by the manufacturer.
Before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices (exception: USB devices), the
DLoG MTC 6 must be disconnected from the power supply! Otherwise, this could
seriously damage both the DLoG MTC 6 and the connected devices!
Make sure that external peripheral devices with their own power supply are switched on
at the same time or after you start the DLoG MTC 6.
If this is not possible, please ensure that the DLoG MTC 6 is adequately protected from
power leakage caused by an external device.
2.7. Repairs only through DLoG
As a rule, never carry out repairs on the device yourself.
Always contact DLoG’s technical support and send in your unit for repair if necessary.
On the back of the DLoG MTC 6 you will find the device’s type plate which has important
information about the device which you must quote for technical service. It provides
important information about the configuration and manufacture of the device in
abbreviated form.

5.2.2. DLoG antenna solutions for use in Germany
The integrated DLoG antenna solutions are based on the prevailing IEEE 802.11
standard. This standard allows wireless data transfer at rates from 1 Mbps to 54 Mbps
using the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequency band (300 Mbps if using IEEE 802.11n).
WARNING
In Germany according to regulations published in the gazette
89/2003 of the RegTP (regulating body for telecommunications and
mail), now: “Bundesnetzagentur” - Federal network agency for
electricity, gas, telecommunications, post and railway - the
maximum permissible transmitting power, EIRP (equivalent
isotropically radiated power), in the 2.4 GHz frequency band is set
at 20 dBm.
The transmitting power of the integrated DLoG antenna
(DLoG 3 dBi) must be set to 50 mW (17 dBm) so that the EIRP limit
value is adhered to when using the antenna.
Example configuration of the transmission power using the Summit Client Utility program

5.3. Protecting the TFT display from the memory effect
The TFT display of the DLoG MTC 6 has to be protected from the burning in of a
motionless image. An image that has remained motionless for too long can cause
irreversible damage to the display. With TFT displays there no cathode rays burning in
an afterimage as in old TV sets or monitors, but TFT displays still have a “memory
effect”. This is because with a still image the liquid crystal molecules align themselves in
a certain way and become inert if they are not moved. Like burning in the effect is
irreversible, but can be avoided by regularly turning off the display or by using a
screensaver with changing content.
Define in the power management center of the utilized operating system that the
displays of the DLoG MTC 6 should be turned off when no user input occurs.
A motionless image can stay on the display for a maximum of 12 hours. After more than
12 hours there is the risk of the memory effect.
5.4. Removing the protective film from the display
The front display of the DLoG MTC 6 is protected during transport by a transparent film.
This film should remain on the front display during assembly to avoid damage to the front
display surface.
Only remove the film once all of the assembly work has been completed.
A service USB interface is arranged under the antenna cap of the DLoG MTC 6.
The service USB interface may only be used for maintenance
purposes, e.g. to load software updates.
The antenna cap/service USB interface may only remain open for
the duration of the service work. It may only be opened and
closed by qualified technical personnel.
No objects or fluids may be introduced into the DLoG MTC 6 while
Caution:
the antenna cap and the USB interface are open.
Property
damage
Only when the antenna cap/service USB interface is properly
closed again may operation be resumed; protection class is then
ensured again.
If the DLoG MTC 6 is operated with the antenna cap/service USB
interface open for a longer period of time than required for service
tasks, any warranty claim against DLoG GmbH for the unit will be
void.

manufacturer’s guidelines. Otherwise the software wedge will not
function properly.
Note that according to the EIA-232-E specification, the maximum cable length is 15 m at
19,200 bps.
By using a correctly terminated twisted-pair cable, however, up to 1,200 m at 100 kbps
can be achieved according to the EIA-422-A specification. With a data rate of 1 Mbps
and a high-quality cable, it is possible to reach cable lengths of up to approximately 400
m.
Malfunctions in the RS-232 connections are frequently caused by ground loops. If both
end devices establish a ground connection via RS-232 but do not share the same ground
potential in their power supply circuits, then compensation currents may result. This is
particularly noticeable with long cables.
These compensation currents, which are also present at the ground point of the RS-232
connection, may significantly degrade signal quality and effectively stop the data flow. In
challenging environments, electrically-isolated connections (via external converters) or
differential systems (RS-422/485 port) are strongly recommended.

12.4.1. Problems with data transmission via LAN/Ethernet
If problems occur during data transmission over LAN/Ethernet (e.g. data is lost or not
detected), the cause of these problems may be a cable which is too long.
Right LED (orange):
Depending on the cable layout and interference from the environment, it may be
impossible to use the cable length of 100 m given in the specification (IEEE 802.3
standard).
The solution here is the use of a shorter cable.

12.5. Automatic switch-off
The DLoG MTC 6 is equipped with an automatic switch-off module.
Modes of operation
If wired up accordingly, the DLoG MTC 6 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 DLoG MTC 6 is connected to the vehicle with three supply cables. DC+ und DC- are
directly connected to the power supply of the vehicle, the connection is of course run
through fuses.
Therefore make sure that the cables are connected directly to the battery and not to highinterference supply lines (for example, motor supply) or to supply lines already used by
other consumers.
The supply voltage connected is then linked to the DLoG MTC 6’s ignition input via a
switch, for example, the key switch of the ignition (also with a fuse).
DLoG MTC 6 User’s Manual V1.00 67
Internal devices
12.5.1. Automatic switch-off process
When the ignition is switched on, the DLoG MTC 6 is supplied with power and begins
checking its internal temperature and automatic switch-off function.
Once the ambient conditions have been verified as acceptable, the DLoG MTC 6 starts
the operating system just like normal.
During the first three minutes of the start-up phase, none of the ambient conditions, such
as the internal temperature or the Ignition input status, are checked. This allows the
operating system and the operating software for the automatic switch-off module to fully
load without interruption.
Following this three-minute period, the internal temperature of the unit and the status of
the Ignition input are checked continuously.
If the inner temperature of the DLoG MTC 6 reaches a critical range, the operating
system is shut down normally and the computer remains switched off until the
temperature is back in the permitted range.
If the Ignition input is switched to earth potential or a potential-free source during normal
operation, the unit switches to shutdown delay time.
In this state, the device continues to operate normally until the delay time (for example,
15 minutes) has elapsed.
• If the ignition is triggered again during this time, the DLoG MTC 6 resumes normal
operation.
• If, however, the delay time elapses, the operating system is shut down normally by
the DLoG operating software and the unit is automatically switched off (for example,
after three minutes, or after a signal from the operating software).

12.5.2. Configuration with DLoG Config program
The DLoG Config program must be installed for the automatic switch-off module to
function correctly.
If the DLoG Config has not been started, the DLoG MTC 6 will carry out a hard
shutdown once the delay time and shutdown time set by the hardware
(e.g. via
MPCCOM.EXE) has elapsed. In this case, the operating system is not shut down
normally before the power is switched off. The current application is unable to save its
data, and the file system becomes increasingly unstable and inconsistent.
If the DLoG Config has been started, the program can recognize when the operating
system needs to be shut down. Firstly, the Windows message
“WM_QUERYENDSESSION” is sent to all running applications to inform them of the
impending shutdown.
Now every application has to respond within the time that is set in the registry (see the
DLoG Config manual). If a response is not sent in the specified time, the application is
forced to quit.
If there are any open programs with unsaved changes, it may not be possible to
automatically quit them (for example, an unsaved document in WORDPAD.EXE, a
program supplied with Windows). In this case WORDPAD.EXE responds to the Windows
message “WM_QUERYENDSESSION” with a user query to confirm if the current file is
to be saved. Applications that can be quit with the key combination <ALT> and <F4>
(that is, without a final user query) generally send the required response to the
“WM_QUERYENDSESSION” message and are not shutdown “hard”.
To ensure that vital data is always saved correctly, applications need to be able to
properly respond to the “WM_QUERYENDSESSION” message, that is, without user
queries and within the set time period.
Further information to the DLoG Config program can be found in the corresponding
manual.
