Basic safety guidelines
DLoG MTC 6 User’s Manual V1.00 5
2. Basic safety guidelines
2.1. Always install, operate, and maintain the unit properly
The DLoG MTC 6 was designed and built according to modern technology and accepted
safety regulations. However, the operation of the DLoG MTC 6 can endanger personnel
or third parties and cause damage to the device and other material assets when for
example the device is
•installed incorrectly or improperly.
•operated by untrained or uninstructed personnel.
•improperly operated and maintained.
•not used as intended.
The operator commitments in regards to safety (accident prevention regulations, work
protection) are to be followed.
2.2. Safety
In order to prevent injury and damage, please read and observe the following safety
guidelines prior to assembly and commissioning. The manufacturer assumes no liability
for any and all damages that can be attributed to non-compliance with these guidelines.
2.3. Intended usage
The DLoG MTC 6 is a multifunction terminal for stationary and mobile use in commercial
applications (for example logistics, storage, manufacturing). A different or extraordinary
usage is not permitted.
For resulting damage the user/operator of the DLoG MTC 6 is solely responsible.
This also applies to any changes you make to the device.
Compliance with the contents of the safety guidelines is particularly important for the
proper use of this device.

Basic safety guidelines
6 User’s Manual V1.00 DLoG MTC 6
2.4. Initial operation of the device
Area of application: not for use in life-support systems or critical safety systems
The device is not designed for use in life-support systems or critical safety systems
where system malfunction can lead to the direct or indirect endangerment of human
life. The operator shall take full responsibility for using the device in these situations.
The device cannot be used in combination with safety functions for machines and
equipment which have to conform to the requirements of EN 954-1.
Risk of injury during transit or installation
The unit could fall during transit or installation and cause injury. Always ensure that
there are two persons available when installing or removing the device.
Choice of location – observe the protection class
The ambient conditions at the point of installation must comply with the device’s
protection class.
Supply of fresh air – avoid overheating the unit
The DLoG MTC 6 is based on a passive cooling concept. As a result, the waste heat
which is produced inside the device is emitted over the surface of the housing. For this
system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required. Never install the
system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to dissipate
accumulated heat to the outside.
If the DLoG MTC 6 is not able to draw in fresh cooling air, this may cause overheating
and severe damage to the unit.
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for the system needs to be taken into
account for the concrete application area.
Install an easily accessible disconnecting device
The device is not supplied with a disconnector (switch) that can be accessed
externally. The power supply connector is therefore used as a disconnector. Therefore
it needs to be easily accessible.
If it is necessary to establish a fixed connection, an easily accessible disconnecting
device (e.g. a switch such as a circuit breaker) should be installed close to the device.
Ensure that the power cable is laid so that it is mechanically protected.

Basic safety guidelines
DLoG MTC 6 User’s Manual V1.00 7
Laying power supply cables – observe the local installation regulations
The power supply cables must be laid in accordance with the applicable local
installation regulations.
Ensure that no persons are injured in case the mounting bracket breaks
The DLoG MTC 6/10 may in no case be installed in such a way that persons can be
injured during a breaking of the mounting bracket (e.g. fatigue break).
If the device is mounted in a place where people can be injured if the bracket should
break, appropriate safety measures must be put in place (e.g. install a security cable
in addition to the device bracket).
Radio performance: Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power
Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power which is specified by
each separate country. DLoG MTC 6 users must verify this themselves.
2.5. Power supply
Operation in an emergency: immediately disconnected the device from the power
supply
In case of emergency (such as damage to the power cable , or housing, or ingress of
liquid or other foreign bodies), the device must be disconnected immediately from the
power supply. Contact technical support staff at once.
Protection of the power supplies
If, after replacement, the fuse fed by the internal power supply blows again, the device
must be sent in for servicing immediately.
Danger of electrocution when cleaning/servicing the device
In order to avoid electrocution always disconnect the DLoG MTC 6 from the power
supply before cleaning or servicing the device.
When charging the vehicle battery please note
While charging the vehicle battery the DLoG MTC 6 has to be either disconnected
from the battery or it has to be determined that the maximum allowed input voltage of
the DLoG MTC 6 is not exceeded.

Basic safety guidelines
8 User’s Manual V1.00 DLoG MTC 6
Do not switch on devices with damaged cables or plugs
Do not use the DLoG MTC 6 when a cable or plug is damaged. Have the damaged
parts replaced immediately!
Do not connect or disconnect any cables during storms
Data cables must never be connected or disconnected during an electrical storm.
2.6. External devices
The use of additional wiring and other peripheral devices, which are not recommended or
sold by the manufacturer can result in fire, electrocution or personal injury.
If a power supply is used, only use the power supply recommended by the manufacturer.
Before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices (exception: USB devices), the
DLoG MTC 6 must be disconnected from the power supply! Otherwise, this could
seriously damage both the DLoG MTC 6 and the connected devices!
Make sure that external peripheral devices with their own power supply are switched on
at the same time or after you start the DLoG MTC 6.
If this is not possible, please ensure that the DLoG MTC 6 is adequately protected from
power leakage caused by an external device.
2.7. Repairs only through DLoG
As a rule, never carry out repairs on the device yourself.
Always contact DLoG’s technical support and send in your unit for repair if necessary.
On the back of the DLoG MTC 6 you will find the device’s type plate which has important
information about the device which you must quote for technical service. It provides
important information about the configuration and manufacture of the device in
abbreviated form.
Always provide technicians with the full model name and serial number.

2.8. CE Marking
Remark for CE class A products: Class A products may be used in residential
environment but with the condition that the end user is informed about the possible
consequence with a warning information in the user manual:
Warning! This is a class A device. This equipment may cause interference in a residential
