3. Installation and handling

This c hapter contains recommendations for installation, handling and maintenance o f the device.

3.1. Mounting

CCpilot VC has the capability to support two different mounting methods, a RA M mount or a panel
mount. These two mounting methods are described separately below.

For both fastening methods, use the appropriate M5 x 0.8 button head screw of type MRT (Torx),
length should be 12mm. The recommended torque for the screws is 1.5-2.0 Nm. Using a split ring or
toothed lock washer is recommended. Ensure the M5 mounting screws are clean and dry.

3.1.1. RAM mount

CCpilot VC is preferably mounted using a RAM-B-238U Mount which allows adjustment of the

display’s position and angle. Screw length should be 12mm.

3.1.2. Panel mount

An alternate mounting method to the RAM mount would be in a panel mount using the C000135-81
bracket, see picture below. This mounting bracket is designed for min 1,5mm and max 3mm panel
thickness. Screw length should be 10mm.

Ensure that CCpilot VC is mounted to a smooth, flat surface. Fastening the unit to an uneven surface
may stress the enclosure, damage the o uter flange or possibly even flex the circuit board inside, leading

to a premature failure.

Panel thickness may vary from 1,5 to 3,5mm using the standard panel mount bracket.

3.2. Power supply installation

This c hapter describes installation of CCpilot VC in vehicles or o ther machines. The principle is the
same also for other types of installations.

For connector pinout, see chapter 6 - Connectors.

Before installing the device into a vehicle o r other machinery, carefully read through the instructions
below:

 Wire gauge for the supply input shall be dimensioned with respect to cable length, supply

voltage, maximum allowed voltage drop and maximum current consumption of the device.

o As a guideline, the recommended minimum power supply cable area is:

0.75 mm2 (AWG 18)

 When connecting the device to a v ehicles o r machines battery (or o ther power source with

high current capabilities), always apply fusing to prevent cable fire in c ase of short circuit.

o The fuse shall be located as close to the battery/power source as possible.
o Fuse rating shall be dimensioned with respect to wire gauge maximum current rating

and inrush current of the load. Refer to chapter 7.1 - Technical data for fuse rating
details.

o As a guideline, a fuse with 5-8 A current rating should be used.

 The device’s external o n/off control signal (multipin connector 1, pin J1-3) should be

connected to the positive supply line via the v ehicles turnkey switch or a separate on/off
switch (see “S2” in schematic below).

o Remember to apply fusing also to the on/off c ontrol signal.
o Sev eral CCpilot VC devices may be controlled by the same external on/off switch by

joining their external on/off c ontrol signals. The current drawn from this signal (when
turned ON) is up to 1 .5 mA for each device attached. The fuse rating and wire gauge
shall be dimensioned for the total switch current.

 If the vehicle or machine has a main power switch (see “S1” in schematic below), the device’s

power supply and o n/off signal shall be connected after this switch. Observe that this switch
shall not be used for switching the device o n/off during normal operation. I t is only intended
for disconnecting the battery to prevent draining of the battery during prolonged stalling
intervals o f the v ehicle or machine.

By c o nnecting the power supply according to the illustration above, with the main switch S1 normally
closed, the device will automatically start when the turnkey switch S2 is turned on and shut down
when the switch is turned off. Note, the behaviour of the on/off signal is configurable through
software.

3.2.1. Precautions

Ensure that the device is shut down properly before turning off the main switch S1 or in any o ther way
making the computer powerless. Ensure that any application data is saved before turning off the
device.

 Sudden power disruptions may c ause the device to shut down, potentially causing lost or

corrupt data. I f for example the power supply voltage fluctuates significantly when starting
the vehicle engine, the device should be started after the vehicle engine has been started.

 During welding all cables to the device shall b e disconnected.

 Be advised that the device consumes a small amount of power from the main supply also

when shutdown or suspended (up to 120 mW or 400 mW respectively). Therefore, if the
device has been attached for a long period o f time without the vehicle motor running, the
battery may be drained, resulting in inability to start up the v ehicle. A main switch for
disconnecting the device’s main supply is highly recommended in such situations.

3.3. Cable installation

Cables shall be installed in such a way that they don’t run any risk of being damaged, pinched or worn.

 Avoid excessive bending and twisting of cables.
 Use strain-relief on cables near the device to minimize stress on cables and connectors.
 Pro perly snap the c onnectors to give good contact and avoid unnecessary strain
 Shielded c ables is recommended and in some cases necessary to ensure reliable

communication and appliance with industr ial EMC standards.

3.4. Environmental considerations

To ensure proper and reliable operation of the device, follow the recommendations below:

 The device shall be placed in a way that prevents the unit from direct exposure to water or

sunlight.

 To enable sufficient cooling, the device must be installed to allow ambient air to c irculate

around it. A clearance of at least 50 mm around the device is recommended.

 Avoid installing the device near hot air vents o r in direct sunlight.
 To maintain the device’s IP classification, both c onnectors need to be attached. Blind plugs for

not connected signals/cables are also necessary.

 Each device has a GORE-TEX

®

membrane for ventilation; see location in chapter 2 - Dev ice
overview. For proper ventilation of the device, dirt and water must be prevented from
accumulating and covering the membrane. Be cautious not to insert objects which may
puncture o r detach the membrane. Do ing so will v iolate the IP-classification and void the
warranty of the device.

 Loose mounting bolts are a common cause for excessive v ibration. They may come loose due

to improper mounting techniques such as omitting thread locker o r lock washers, over- or
under-tightening. Proper tightening requires c lean dry bolts and a torque wrench.

 Install the device and its c ables in such a way that they are not subject to excess vibrations o r

other mechanical stress.

 If the unit is exposed to chemicals, water, dirt, etc it’s recommended to c lean it according to

chapter 3.5.1 - Cleaning as soon as possible.

3.5. Handling and maintenance

Handle the device with care and pay attention to the following handling directives:

 Disconnect all cables to the device during welding o r when performing other service to the

machine imposing a risk o f damaging electronic devices.

 Service and repair to the device shall only be made by authorised personnel. If the device is

opened by unauthorised personnel, its warranty will be voided.

 Scratches o r other damages may occur to the display surface (touch-screen or protective glass,

depending on model) if it is exposed to sharp objects or heavy impacts. This must be avoided
to increase the longevity of the screen.

o Observe that CCpilot VC models with resistive touch-screen are more prone to

scratches than non-touch models.

 The internal Flash storage has a limited number of write cycles. It is recommended that the

amount of writing to flash storage is limited within software applications.

 Always consider personal safety when installing and operating the device. For example, in

vehicle installations, maximatecc does not recommend that the device is being actively
operated by the driver when a risk of injury to people or damage to property is present.

3.5.1. Cleaning

To ensure proper and reliable functionality over time, pay attention to the following cleaning
instructions and precautions:

 Wipe the device clean from dirt using a soft, light damp c loth, preferably of microfiber type.
 Avoid using alkaline, alcoholic o r other chemicals for c leaning; doing so may damage the

device. However, small amount isopropyl alcohol may be used for removing harsh stains.

 Avoid spray or apply water or alcohol directly to the device. Instead, dampen the cloth lightly

before using it for cleaning the device.

 After cleaning, make sure that the device surface is left dry.
 Nev er use high-pressure air, water or steam to clean the device.

3.5.2. RTC clock back-up battery

Time and date information is stored in a memory sustained by a back-up battery.

The expected life time of the battery is approximately 10 years. Contact supplier for instructions of
replacing the battery.

4. Basic operations

This section covers basic operation of the device such as start-up, shut-down, suspend, resume, display
operation and status notification.

Observe that the behaviour of on/off controls (external on/off control and front panel soft keys) is user
configurable in terms of:

 Enabling/disabling functionality
 Which push button that shall hold the on/off functionality.
 Configurable timing parameters

All CCpilot VC models containing so ft keys present status notifications during start up by flashing the
soft keys backlight or beeping with the buzzer in different patterns.

Status notifications on CCpilot VC models without soft keys are limited to beeping with the buzzer and
they o nly present critical internal errors detected by the device.

The status notification behaviour in the operational state of the device is configurable by user
applications. Described herein are the factory default behaviours of the o n/off controls and the status
notification.

4.1. Turning ON

The CCpilot VC device can be started up in different ways:

1. By c o nnecting the external on/off control signal to positive supply input (or above

approximately 6 V).

o When started this way, the on/off signal must remain asserted. De-assertion of this

signal will shut down the device unless configured otherwise.

2. By a sho rt-press o n the front panel button configured for on/off control.
a. Note that this function is not enabled as factory default.

3. It is possible to c onfigure the device to automatically start up whenever external power is

applied (i.e. without using any on/off control).

a. Note that this function is enabled as factory default.

For suspending and resuming the device from suspend mode, see chapter 4.2.

While starting up the device, the pushbutton backlight will flash with 2 Hz. When the device enters
operational state the pushbutton b acklight will stop flashing and be turned o n.

4.2. Turning OFF and suspending

There are several ways to turn off the CCpilot VC device and also alternatives to enter suspend mode
instead o f completely shutting down the unit.

4.2.1. Shutting Down

There are a number of ways to shut down the device, provided that it’s in normal o perational state
when the action occurs:

1. By disconnecting the external o n/off control for more than a specified time, i.e. using the turn-

key functionality.

CCpilot VC

2.2

15

o The time-out is user configurable and defaults to 4 seconds.
o If the on/off signal is brought back high again while the device is shutting down, it

won’t restart automatically. A low-to-high transition must occur after the device has
fully shut down to make a restart.

2. By long-pressing a front panel b utton configured for shutting down.
o The time used for detecting long-presses is user configurable and defaults to 4

seconds.

o A prolonged long-press (more than 8 seconds) gives a forced shutdown where the

internal voltages are shut off immediately, see c hapter 4.2.3 - Forced Shutdown for
details. Note, this only applies to buttons configured as “action trigger”. For details,
see the software documentation.

o By factory default, no action is configured for the pushbuttons.

4. By the operating system shutdown alternatives.

To ensure that data does no t get lost or the flash memory becomes corrupt, it is recommended that all
necessary data shall be saved and all programs closed before the device is shut down.

Not e that the device won’t shut down from Suspend mode by these actions. See chapter 0 for details
of Suspend mode and wakeup.

When performing any o f the above, the CCpilot VC device will shut down. The pushbutton backlight
will flash to indicate that releasing the button configured for shutting down will result in the unit
starting to shut down.

4.2.2. Suspending/resuming

Suspending and resuming are faster alternative to shutting down and starting up the device. In
suspend mode, the data remains in RAM memory and the device must be connected to external power
supply to maintain its state.

Suspend mode can be entered in a number o f ways:

1. By disconnecting the external o n/off control, i.e. using the turn key functionality.
o By factory default, disconnecting the external on/off control is configured to shut-

down the device.

2. By using the front panel buttons (action c onfigurable for either short-press or lo ng-press of

the button)

o By factory default, no action is configured for the pushbuttons.

3. By selecting the operating systems suspend alternative.

Observe that the device current consumption is Suspend mode is higher than in shut-down mode.

To prevent a vehicles or machines battery from draining when the device is suspended, a user
configurable time-out can be set for how long the unit shall stay in Suspend mode before it
automatically shuts down. The default Suspend time-out is set to 60 minutes.

Resuming from Suspend mode c an be done by one of the following events:

1. By a low-to-high transition of the external o n/off control, i.e. using the turn-key functionality.
o Note that this is the only action that is configured for waking up the device per factory

default.

2. By pressing a front panel pushbutton configured for resuming from suspend (configured as

start-up trigger).

3. By c hanging the state of a Configurable Input (rising or falling) c onfigured for resuming from

suspend (configured as start-up trigger).

4. CAN bus r eceive event on a bus configured for resuming from suspend (configured as start-up

trigger).

Configuration of how to wake up from suspend is done through the CCsettings application or using the
CCAux API. See the software guide for details.

4.2.3. Forced Shutdown

If the CCpilot VC is not responding, a forced shutdown can be performed by pressing and holding a
pushbutton (that is configured as action trigger) until the device is switched o ff.

 The default button-press time for performing a forced shutdown is 8 seconds.
 By factory default, no action is configured for the pushbuttons.

A forced shutdown immediately shuts down the device, regardless of its operational state. Any
information which was not saved will be lost when performing a forced shutdown. Any ongoing writing
to the flash memory will be disrupted which may lead to a corrupted file system.

 Therefore it is not recommended to use the forced shutdown feature unless absolutely

necessary.

4.3. Adjusting the screen brightness

With the CCpilot VC device it is possible to configure buttons as dedicated backlight brightness
buttons to gradually increase or decrease the display brightness. Note that this is not c onfigured as
factory default.

The screen brightness can also be controlled from software, which also allows for automatic
adjustment of the brightness using the front panel light sensor.

The backlight brightness adjustment may optionally also be automatically applied to the pushbutton
backlight. The pushbutton backlight can otherwise be set separately using CCsettings application or
the CCAux API.

4.4. Using the touch screen

This c hapter applies to CCpilot VC devices containing a touch screen.

The display is equipped with a touch functionality which gives the o pportunity to provide a very easy­to-use HMI (Human Machine Interface) for the user.

4.4.1. Touch screen double- and right-click operation

Double click is performed similar to using an external pointing device. Tap the screen twice in the
same place.

Tap and hold the touch screen to perform a “right-click” operation.

4.4.2. Touch screen calibration

Touch screen calibration can be started by activating the Touch Calibrator application from default
start up screen application. It’s also possible start calibration from the command line. For detail, see
the software documentation.

4.5. Status notification

All CCpilot VC models containing so ft keys present status notifications during start up and
operational state by flashing the soft keys backlight o r beeping with the buzzer in different patterns.

4.6. Error codes

The internal buzzer is used for signalling error codes when the device cannot start due to a hardware
failure. When this happens, the device will remain shut off, but indicates the failure reason by beeping
the buzzer in a special pattern. The pattern is a certain number of beeps followed by a longer pause
after which the sequence is repeated. The number of beeps is important information if the unit is sent
in for service/repair. The table below lists the different error codes.

5. Interface overview

This section describes the various interfaces of the device. Main part of these interfaces can be
accessed via software APIs. These are described in the Software user guide and programmers guide.

5.1. Storage memory

An industrial grade internal NAND flash memory is used for data storage. This makes the device
resilient to shock and vibrations which would be a problem when using mechanically rotating hard
disks.

The Flash module is industrial grade classified and has both static and dynamic wear levelling to
prevent premature wear-out and to extend the lifetime of the memory. Still it has a limited number of
write cycles. It is recommended that the amounts o f writing to storage are limited within the software
applications.

5.2. Front panel

5.2.1. Light sensor

There is a light sensor in the front panel used by user applications o r used with the built in automated
func tion for dimming of the display brightness.

5.2.2. Pushbuttons

Up to 8 software configurable pushbuttons are available depending on the CCpilot VC model. The
buttons may be used for user application input, turning the unit on/off or controlling the backlight;
refer to the software documentation for details.

5.3. Buzzer

There is a buzzer in the front panel that can be used for audible notifications. The buzzer is application
controllable with configurable volume and frequency.

5.4. Analog video inputs

The CCpilot VC device contains o ne analog video input used for attaching an analog video source such
as rear v iew- o r surveillance camera.

The analog video input support PAL as well as NTSC video formats.

The c able which is used to connect the camera to the device shall be a 75 Ω coaxial cable, for example:

M17 /94-RG179. Shielded cables shall be used to ensure electromagnetic compliance.

Depending on the installation, it could be necessary to separate video ground from the power supply
ground, by galvanic isolation on the video source side, to ensure sufficient functionality.

5.5. CAN

The CCpilot VC device contains two CAN ports that meet the CAN ISO 11898 2.0B specification.

Each CAN port is galvanically isolated from chassis ground and is tolerant for bus short-circuits. There
is no device-internal CAN bus termination; therefore bus termination must be applied externally.

5.6. USB

The CCpilot VC contains two USB ports. One port is located in the multipin connector 1 and function
as a host interface. This port can be used for application for data transfer or the connection of a
peripheral such as a mouse or keyboard.

The second USB port which interface through a micro USB connector is located under a cover on the
backside o f the device. This port supports an USB OTG interface, i.e. acting as both host and device
interfaces. Using the port in USB device mode, it’s only for enable OS updates through a c onnected PC
with appropriate tool installed. In USB host mode, it supports the same functionality as the USB ho st
port in the main c onnector.

Note, the sealing property of the unit is affected when accessing the second USB port located under the
hatch.

Due to limitation in the multipin connector specification, USB data signal integrity cannot be
guaranteed with higher speeds than full-speed USB (1 2 Mbps). Though, hi-speed operation is
supported by the USB host controller.

The USB ports can supply up to 500 mA each. The USB ports are internally over c urrent and short
circuit protected. Shielded cables shall be used to ensure reliable communication and electromagnetic
compliance. Depending on installation the shield could be connected to USB ground or left
unc onnected o n the Deutsch DTM-12 connector, i.e. CCpilot VC, side of the c able.

5.7. Ethernet

The device has an Ethernet interface supporting 10BASE-T/100-BASE-TX and Auto-MDIX with
500VAC/707VDC galvanic isolation.

Observe that:

 The Ethernet interface has function isolation only and must be connected to o ther SELV

(Safety Extra Low Voltage) circuits only; i.e. local network without routing to outside plant.

 Shielded c ables shall be used for this port to ensure reliable communication and

electromagnetic compliance. The shield should be left unconnected on the Deutsch DTM-12
connector i.e. CCpilot VC side of the Ethernet cable.

 Connecting the device to a public network environment may impose a security threat.

5.8. Configurable inputs

There are two configurable inputs available o n the CCpilot VC through the Deutsch DTM-12 connector

2.

Each input can be configured fo r voltage measurement, frequency measurement, resistance
measurement, switched to battery (internal pull-down) or switched to ground (internal pull-up).

The o perating specifications for the various operating modes are provided below:

5.9. Configurable outputs

There are two configurable outputs available on the CCpilot VC through the Deutsch DTM-12
connector 1. These two self-protected high-side switched PWM outputs c an be used to control external
loads such as a buzzer, relay or lamps. The outputs have a maximum current rating of 1 Amps per
channel.

PWM duty cycle and frequency is adjustable via A PI/software.

Observe that high continuous current through several I/O channels simultaneously adds internal
heating of the device. At high ambient temperatures, this may cause I /Os to switch off because of
thermal protection in their internal circuitry. Normal function will be restored when temperature is
within acceptable level again. Note, if this occurs frequently it’s recommended to improve the
ventilation around the device o r if possible reduce the load on the outputs.

6. Connectors

All connectors are accessible from the rear of the unit. The connectors which are twelve pin molded-in
Deutsch DTM series connectors are marked with a 1(J1) and a 2(J2).

Use caution and avoid plugging/unplugging of connectors when the computer is powered up. A lways
replace damaged cables. If a connector pin becomes bent the interface may not function correctly and
the device should be returned to the manufacturer for repair.

6.1. Connector layout

Note that descriptions herein refer to the connectors located on the device and not the cable-side
connectors which are attached to the device. Though, the pinout numbering and signal descriptions
are the same.
