2 Notes on Operation & Safety
This device contains electrical voltages and extremely sensitive components. Intervention by the user is
only designated for establishing the required cable connections. The manufacturer or a service partner
authorised by the manufacturer should be consulted if you plan to make further modifications. Before
beginning any works on this device, it must be disconnected from the power supply. Suitable measures
for avoiding any electrostatic discharges towards components must be taken. If the device is opened by
an unauthorised person, hazards for the user might arise and any warranty claim will cease.
General Instructions
All users must read this manual and have access to it at all times
Installation, commissioning and operation may only be carried out by trained
and qualified staff
The security instructions and the manual itself must be observed by all
persons who work with this device
At the location of use, the valid guidelines and regulations for accident
prevention must be observed
The manual contains the most important instructions on how to use this device
in a safe way
Appropriate storage, proper transport, installation and commissioning, as well
as careful operation are prerequisites for ensuring safe and proper operation
of this device
The device can be cleaned by using a soft cloth and a commercially available
glass cleaning agent (e.g. Sidolin) with low alcohol content.
Warning:
Any installation works on the device are only permitted if the power supply is
switched off, and handling the device is safe.
2.1 Operation Location
The VMT control system is designed for use on support arm systems or on moving transport equipment
(like commissioning trolleys, forklifts or similar). You have to take care that the environmental conditions
specified in the technical data specification are met. Using the device in non-specified environments, for
example on board ships, or in areas that might contain explosive gases or in extreme heights is
prohibited.
Warning:
For the prevention of water condensate accumulation, the unit should be turned
ON only when it reaches ambient temperature. This particularly applies when the
unit is subject to extreme temperature fluctuations and/or variations.
Avoid overheating during unit operations; the unit must not be exposed to direct
sunlight or any other direct light or heat sources.

2.2 Damage Caused By Improper Use
This device must immediately be shut down and protected from any accidental commissioning if the
operating system shows any obvious damage caused by, for example, improper operating or storage
conditions, or by improper use or handling.
2.3 Warranty / Repair
During the warranty period, any repair must only be carried out by the manufacturer or by a person
authorised by the manufacturer.
2.4 Treatment and Disposal of Lithium Batteries
This device contains a lithium battery for supplying the system clock with power as long as the supply
voltage is not connected. The battery has a life cycle of 3 - 5 years depending on which load is applied.
Note:
The more the battery is exposed to higher temperatures, the faster it ages.
Warning:
There is an acute risk of explosion should the wrong type of battery be used.
Warning:
Do not put lithium batteries into a fire, do not solder on the cell body, do not
recharge them, open them, short-circuit them, do not reverse their polarity or heat
them up over 100°C; dispose of them properly and protect lithium batteries from
direct sun light, humidity and condensation.
Lithium batteries may only be replaced by the same type, or by a type recommended by the
manufacturer.
The lithium battery must be disposed of according to the local legislation at the end of its life cycle.
2.5 Notes on Safety
Warning:
Installation works at the device are only permitted if the device is disconnected
from the power supply and protected from accidental switch-on.
Note:
Always adhere to the safety measures applicable when handling components at
risk of being destructed by electrostatic discharges..

4 Commissioning
The power supply connection and interfaces of this device are installed underneath a protective cover.
This cover has to be removed in order to connect the power supply lead and the interface cables.
All supply leads and all required data leads have to be connected before commissioning. All supply
leads and all required data leads have to be connected before commissioning.
Warning:
The device must be switched off before connecting or disconnecting any cables in
order to prevent damage to the electronics!
The device may only be switched on after acclimatising to the ambient temperature
in order to avoid condensate accumulation. Make sure to meet the permissible
voltage requirements for this device.
After switching off and before switching on you must wait for at least 5 seconds.
Note:
The screen of a data cable must always be connected with the connector housing
(EMC).

How to operate the Soft Keyboard from Version 3.11::
Activate and deactivate the soft keyboard for letter/character input
using the touch screen
Switches numeric keys on and off (only if numeric keys are visible)
Switching between different representations (Alphanumeric keys 
Numeric keys Function key bar)
Soft keyboard representation, zoom in
Soft keyboard representation, zoom out
Note:
If a function is to be activated which requires pressing two keys at the same
time (e.g. Alt + F4), these keys have to be pushed one after another at the
soft keyboard, and the special keys Shift, Alt and Ctrl must always be
pushed first.
Due to differences in programming of a large variety of software
programmes, we cannot ensure that the soft keyboard works properly with
all available software.
When deactivating the soft keyboard, the previously active state
(alphanumeric / numeric keys or function keys) will be stored and will be
displayed when re-activating the keyboard.

5.5 RFID-Reader (optional)
By using the RFID reader, passive RFID TAGS (RFID chip / key card) are available for automatic
system login. The user applies the RFID tag like a key and requires neither user name nor password.
For authentication, the key card or the RFID chip are held in front of the position highlighted in the
figure. The information from your key card or RFID chip is read and evaluated by the device.
The VMT6000 series uses Mifare-, and LEGIC Technology.

5.6 RFID-Configuration
The equipment is pre-configured to test the RFID functionality without configuration.
Note:
Check the functionality of your RFID reader through the following steps
before starting the commissioning of a software to exclude any transport
damage or other error sources.
Depending on the hardware configuration a MIFARE or LEGIC RFID reader is installed.
MIFARE
1) To test the RFID function, select the application "ads-tec RFID sample application" on the pre-
installed Configuration Center.
Ads-tec RFID-Reader Tool
The configuration of the application starts automatically, by launching the application which searches on
all COM ports to the RFID reader.

If an RFID reader is detected,it is interrogated cyclically whether a serial number (CSN) was read. It
generates a transponder serial number which is output directly to the surface.
