Important safety notes
DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution, Manual V1.00 7 / 27
3. Important safety notes
WARNING
RISK OF ACCIDENTS; SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY FATAL INJURY POSSIBLE.
IT IS ESSENTIAL TO READ AND FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THIS SAFETY
CHAPTER.
3.1. Basic safety precautions
DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution is a support tool only; the obligation to exercise
diligence when driving remains fully and at all times with the driver.
DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution:
−does not replace the requirement of the driver to exercise diligence.
−does not replace the requirement of the driver to observe road traffic regulations, accident
prevention regulations and company safety guidelines.
Driver instruction is required
Users of DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution must be instructed by skilled personnel.
In ongoing operation
In the event of malfunctions of the DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution, the driver is
not permitted to be distracted by the screen display.
Never unplug the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick during travel, do not delete, modify or close
the associated software application, otherwise the screen blanking will no longer be
functional.
3.2. Observe the following when getting started
Implement the following measures to ensure that the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick is securely
plugged into the USB port at all times.
3.2.1. Suitable USB ports for the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick
For DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution to function safely and reliably, the DLT-SA6100
Sensor Stick must be connected to a USB port fulfilling a minimum of the following technical
requirements:
−USB 2.0 port type A
−Vibration-proof (tested for resistance to vibration)
−High-retention

Important safety notes
8 / 27 DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution, Manual V1.00
Reason for this requirement: If the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick becomes loose in the USB port,
the sensors integrated into the stick will no longer detect whether or not the vehicle is stationary
or moving. Blanking is no longer guaranteed, and the driver may be distracted from driving.
Most ADLoG vehicle mounted terminals are equipped with suitable USB ports which are
located underneath the cable cover on the devices. For more details, see section 4.2.1 DLT-
SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution on ADLoG vehicle mounted terminals.
3.2.2. Do not use any intermediate or extension cables
Plug the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick into a USB port without any intermediate or extension
cables. If intermediate or extension cables are used, the DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking
Solution functionality is no longer guaranteed.
3.2.3. Protect the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick against unauthorized removal
Use a USB port that is hard to access during work.
This means that the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick is optimally protected against accidental
unplugging.
3.2.4. Notes for ADLoG vehicle mounted terminals
Connect the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick to a USB port underneath the cable cover of the
ADLoG vehicle mounted terminal.
Do not use the service USB port underneath the antenna as the stick can be easily
removed here. In addition, the antenna can no longer be closed due to the stick, meaning
the IP protection rating of the vehicle mounted terminal is no longer guaranteed.
For more details, see section 4.2.1 DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution on ADLoG vehicle
mounted terminals.
To access the USB ports underneath the cable cover, this cable cover on the vehicle mounted
terminal must be opened and closed correctly. Please note the following:
Work on the ADLoG vehicle mounted terminal is only permitted to be performed by
adequately qualified, skilled personnel:
Follow the instructions in the relevant ADLoG vehicle mounted terminal manual.

Important safety notes
DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution, Manual V1.00 9 / 27
3.3. Test the system prior to live use
For DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution to function, the system must be configured and
tested for each vehicle mounted terminal and the usage environment in question.
Configure the system using the ADLoG Screen Blanking Config Tool for each vehicle
mounted terminal.
Then test the screen blanking on each vehicle mounted terminal in the actual usage
environment.
Re-configure the system as necessary and re-test.
3.4. Service the system on a regular basis
Vehicle mounted terminals are subjected to high loads due to vibration and shocks.
The DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick is designed especially for this usage.
However, the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick may loosen in some circumstances, meaning
functionality may be restricted.
Carry out checks on a regular basis (depending on the load and environmental conditions,
e.g. weekly, monthly, etc.) to ensure that the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick is securely fixed
in the USB port.

4. Intended use
4.1. Functional description
DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution is used to overlay the display of vehicle mounted
terminals with a black or a customer-defined static image as soon as the vehicle is in motion.

terminal.
−The ADLoG Screen Blanking Software that is installed on the vehicle mounted terminal.
4.2. Area of application
DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution provides add-on functionality for vehicle mounted
terminals (data communication terminals) that are used in commercial environments, such as
logistics, warehousing and production. Any other or additional use beyond this is deemed
improper. The user/operator of the vehicle mounted terminal and the DLT-SA6100 Screen
Blanking Solution system shall be solely liable for any damage resulting from improper use.
This also applies to unauthorized modifications made to the system.
DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution is permitted to be used on the company site, but not

−Within the usage limits of the DLT-SA6100 Sensor Stick, in other words at ambient
temperatures between -40°C and +80°C (~ -40 °F to 176 °F).
−In the environmental conditions specified for the vehicle mounted terminal in question
(temperature, vibration, etc.).
−In accordance with the intended use of the vehicle mounted terminal.
−In compliance with the documentation and here in particular the safety and warning notices
for the vehicle mounted terminal.
DLT-SA6100 Screen Blanking Solution:
