Mechanical installation (on vehicle, fork lift)
Position of the DLoG MPC 6 on the vehicle
The driver‘s fi eld of vision in the vehicle must not be obstructed.
If you want to install a keyboard and scanner on the side of the
DLoG MPC 6, please allow enough space.
Overview of the installation steps:
Before you mount the DLoG MPC 6 onto the vehicle:
The automatic switch-off function must be confi gured.
The forklift must be prepared
(connection to ignition, observe correct voltage, etc.)
We recommend that the installation process is carried out in the following
sequence:
Step 1: Secure the mounting bracket onto the vehicle
Step 2: Attach the DLoG MPC 6 to the mounting bracket
When installing your DLoG MPC 6, please observe the assembly
instructions that come with the relevant mounting kit.
•
•
•
•
The DLoG MPC 6 and
accessories must not
protrude beyond the vehicle.
6Electrical installation (on vehicle, fork lift)
On the MPC 6 and on the vehicle
Ensure that the ground connection is correct!
Choose a suitable position on the forklift for the ground connection.
Sometimes the position from which the ground signal is to come is
specifi ed by the vehicle manufacturer.
Position and attach the DLoG MPC 6 as close to the battery as
possible.
Do not attach the DLoG MPC 6 directly to a connector for a high-
powered consumer (e.g. an inverter for fork lift motors) as this could
lead to restarts, malfunctions or damage to the device..
Some forklifts have a chassis that is connected to DC+.
Therefore, the DLoG MPC 6 chassis is also connected to DC+.
However, if you use peripheral devices that supply DC- to the
DLoG MPC 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

7Cable cover and strain relief (on vehicle, fork lift)
Once the DLoG MPC 6 and mounting bracket have been secured:
Prepare the strain relief.
Position the cables on the stress relief rail so that they will fi t through
the openings in the cable cover.
Mount the cables loosely on the strain relief rail.
When attaching the cables observe the following: The power supply
cable is provided with a ferrite core; you must lay this cable in a loop
for space reasons (see photo below).
Final steps:
Fix the cables to the strain relief rail.
Close the cable cover carefully, observing the assembly instructions
provided with the DLoG MPC 6.
