7.4. Vehicle applications (such as forklifts)
7.4.1. Electrical installation
Pay special attention to the various electrical potentials when installing the unit on a
vehicle (such as a forklift).
On the MTC 6, the logic ground and the shield ground are firmly linked.
The "logic ground" is the earth line (GND) for all of the internal electrical components,
such as the isplay and the CPU.
The cable shielding and the housing are connected to the "shield ground".
Pay attention to the following warnings!
NOTICE:
Property
damage
• Some forklifts have a chassis that is connected to DC+. Therefore, the MTC 6
chassis is also connected to DC+. However, if you use peripheral devices that
supply DC– to the MTC 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.
• In DC-powered devices, always attach ring tongues on the supply voltage cable to
the ground bolt situated on the connector bay.
