7.4. Vehicle applications (such as forklifts)
7.4.1. Electrical installation
Pay special attention to the various electrical potentials when installing the unit on a
vehicle (such as a forklift).
On the MTC 6, 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 isplay and the CPU.
The cable shielding and the housing are connected to the “shield ground”.
NOTICE:
Property
damage
Pay attention to the following warnings!
Some forklifts have a chassis that is connected to DC+. Therefore, the MTC 6
chassis is also connected to DC+. However, if you use peripheral devices that
supply DC– to the MTC 6 via an interconnector (such as a
DC– serial port), this will cause a short circuit. This will inevitably lead to
malfunctions or even a total system failure.
In DC-powered devices, always attach ring tongues on the supply voltage cable to
the ground bolt situated on the connector bay.

MTC 6 Series User’s Manual V2.00 73
NOTICE:
Property
damage
Please note that you have to configure the scanner correctly to
RS-232 and the above set BAUDrate following the scanner
manufacturer’s guidelines. Otherwise the software wedge will not
function properly.
11.4. Tips & tricks
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.
Internal devices

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.
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.
Internal devices
76 User’s Manual V2.00 MTC 6 Series
12.5. Automatic switch-off
The MTC 6 is equipped with an automatic switch-off module.
Modes of operation
If wired up accordingly, the 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 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 high-
interference supply lines (for example, motor supply) or to supply lines already used by
other consumers.
The supply voltage connected is then linked to the MTC 6’s ignition input via a switch, for
example, the key switch of the ignition (also with a fuse).
Internal devices
MTC 6 Series User’s Manual V2.00 77
12.5.1. Automatic switch-off process
When the ignition is switched on, the 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 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 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 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).
Internal devices
78 User’s Manual V2.00 MTC 6 Series
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 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.
