4 Manual DLoG X Series
Important safety notices
Fresh air circulation is required
The DLoG X device 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. Never install the system
in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to dissipate accumulated heat
to the outside.
If the DLoG X device is not able to draw in fresh cooling air, this may cause
overheating and severe damage to the unit. Be sure to comply with the maximum
ambient temperature to guarantee correct operation (as specified in
Technical
specifications).
Mounting / Initial operation
The device is not supplied with a disconnector (switch) that can be accessed
externally. The power supply connector is therefore used as a disconnector.
This must always be easily accessible. If the device is permanently installed,
an easily accessible disconnector (such as a switch or automatic circuit breaker)
needs to be additionally installed.
The power supply cables must be laid in accordance with the applicable local
installation regulations.
Risk of injury
The unit could fall during transit or installation and cause injury. Always enlist the aid
of a second person for installing or removing the unit.

Initial operation
5. Initial operation
Before operating the unit for the first time, carefully read the Safety
notices at the start of this manual.
5.1. Cooling through the supply of fresh air
The DLoG X devices employ 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.
Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to
dissipate accumulated heat to the outside.
If the DLoG X device is not able to draw in fresh cooling air, this
may cause overheating and severe damage to the unit.

DLoG X Series Manual 51
Initial operation
5.7. Protecting the TFT display from the memory effect
The TFT display of the DLoG X device 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.
•Define in the power management center of the utilized operating system that the
display of the DLoG X device 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.
Important for the lifespan of the backlighting:
Choose a turn off time that is definitely not too short (not less than 30 min) since frequent
turning on of the backlighting will noticeably reduce its lifespan. This particularly applies
at low temperatures.
5.8. Installing Application Software
Depending on the application, install the software via WLAN, Bluetooth, or the USB client
interface (ActiveSync).

7.5. Vehicle applications (such as forklifts)
Pay special attention to the various electrical potentials when installing the unit on a
vehicle (such as a forklift). In the DLoG X devices, the logic ground and the shield ground
are firmly linked.
The “logic ground” is the earth line (GND) for all of the internal electrical components,
such as the hard drive and the CPU. Cable shielding, the housing and the ground
conductor (in AC-powered units) are connected to the shield ground.
Carefully read the following warnings!
• When connecting a DLoG X device, make sure that the on-board voltage of the
vehicle and the terminal input voltage are compatible.
• The terminal input voltage is indicated on the device type plate and on the label for
the pin configuration.
• Some forklifts have a frame that is connected to DC+. Therefore, the DLoG X frame
is also DC+.However, if you use peripheral devices that supply DC– to the
DLoG X device via an interconnector (such as a DC– serial interface), this will
cause a short circuit. This will inevitably lead to malfunctions or even a total system
failure.
• Please be aware that, for example, on forklifts with inverter drives, malfunctions can
occur in the power supply that are beyond the potential tolerance of the DLoG X
device. In such cases the DLoG X device can be irreparably damaged. In such
circumstances it may be necessary to install a line filter. If required, contact your
DLoG sales representative.
