VMT7000 series 10

3.5 Improper use

Operation other than or beyond that described for the device shall be deemed improper use.

The device is not allowed to be used to control vehicles or for applications for which further approvals

beyond the manufacturer's declaration are necessary, e.g. applications with explosion hazard, medical

technology, shipping industry.

The device must not be put into operation in the case of transport damage or nonconformity with the

specifications and, if necessary, must be taken out of operation in the case of changing conditions.

In the case of improper use, ADS-TEC shall not accept responsibility or liability for injury or damage that

is directly or indirectly attributable to the handling of the device.

Should the device have evident signs of damages caused, e.g., by improper operation or storage

conditions or due to improper use or handling, it must be shut down immediately. Ensure that it is

secured against being started up accidentally.

3.6 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.

ATTENTION

Hazard due to thermal loads

The more the battery is exposed to higher

temperatures, the faster it ages.

Avoid thermal loads.

WARNING

Hazard due to explosion

Danger of explosion if using incorrect battery

types.

Use the battery type recommended by the

manufacturer.

Lithium batteries should not be exposed to fire, soldered, recharged, opened, short-circuited, reversed

or heated above 100 °C and they should be disposed of properly as well as protected against sunlight,

moisture and condensation.

The battery type to be used is:

½ AA 3V Lithium Battery Type: FDK Corp. CR14250SE

4.2 24 VDC / 48 VDC* power supply

The device is available with a 24 VDC and a 48 VDC* power supply.

The power supply is fed in via a 4-pin plug. (The figure shows the socket inside the device).

PIN Signal

1 PE

2 0V DC

3 IGN

4 Nominal 24V: 10…36 VDC

Nominal 48V*: 18…60 VDC

Recommendation for use:

The power supply must be protected with a 4A fuse (slow-blow).

ATTENTION

Hazard due to overvoltage

If the protective earth is not attached, there is a

danger of overvoltage at the device.

Always attach the protective earth!

The power supply is realized by means of a transformer. The primary side of the transformer, which is

connected to mains, is electrically insulated from the secondary side of the transformer, which provides

the internal power supply.

Functional EMC protection is provided only if the PE-pin of the power supply is connected to earth.

When mounting on mobile vehicles, a functional earth must be established for this purpose.

* The UL marking only applies to 24 VDC power supply.

VMT7000 series 15

4.2.1 Release contact (IGN)

The device is capable of being externally started by using an additional signal input. This function is well

known from the automotive industry (switch-on by using an ignition contact). The device is here

continuously supplied with a 24V / 48V DC power supply, and only if the additional signal is present at

the ignition contact, e.g. as a result of turning the ignition key of the forklift, the computer is switched on

or the blocking is released. This function protects the system from unauthorised use. If the device is

installed onboard of vehicles or other mobile and battery driven equipment, the ignition function also

saves energy. This function can be configured by using the Ignition Key Locking software tool. For

example, the computer can be shut down in a time-controlled manner if voltage is no longer present at

the ignition contact. Prefabricated supply cables are available from ADS-TEC for using the ignition

function.

Recommendation for use:

Switching the device on or off by using the ON/OFF pushbutton will override

the ignition function. That means, if the device is switched off by using the

Power button, the system is shut down and can be restarted by using the

Power button. However, it can also be restarted by using the ON/OFF function

of the ignition.

ATTENTION

Hazard due to overvoltage

There is an acute risk of irreparable damage if the

permissible threshold is exceeded.

Do not operate on vehicles that exceed the

permissible system voltage.

The following thresholds for system voltage must be observed:

24V DC system voltage

5V DC – 36V DC

48V DC system voltage

5V DC – 60V DC

Recommendation for use:

The ignition function must never be used together with the autostart function!

Recommendation for use:

The functional description of the program Ignition Key Locking can be found in the

chapter of the same name.

4.3 Autostart function

The autostart function allows the automatic start-up of the device upon application of the supply voltage

of 24V / 48V DC.

Recommendation for use:

The Autostart switch in the service slot must be set to ON in order to use this

function.

4.6 WLAN wireless card (optional)

The device is optionally equipped with two antennas integrated in the front panel via a mini-PCI Express

WLAN card. There is also an internally installed antenna on the rear side of the device.

The Mini PCI Express WLAN card supports standards:

802.11a/b/g/n.

Additionally, the following security standards are supported:

WEP 64 bit, 128 bit 802.11i

WPA TKIP, CCMP (AES)

WPA2 TKIP, CCMP (AES)

WPA PSK (preshared key)

WPA enterprise: EAP-TLS

The specifications of this network topology must be observed.

Recommendation for use:

The device can optionally be equipped with an external antenna.

It must be ensured here that this antenna is connected in order to retain the

expanded antenna concept.

ATTENTION

If an external antenna is used, which is not

approved by ADS-TEC, the operator/operating

company shall be responsible for compliance with

the regulatory and legal requirements.
