Overview of mounting steps
Requirement: The vehicle/installation location must be prepared (e.g. connection to the
ignition, correct voltage, etc.)
We recommend the following sequence for the mechanical and electrical installation:
−
Determine a suitable mounting position for the DLT-V83.
−
Secure device mounting (mounting bracket, RAM mount; optional).
−
Connect external accessories to the DLT-V83.
−
Install an easily accessible disconnecting device, such as a switch.
−
Connection to the power supply.
−
Seal cable bushings with cable grommets and dummy grommets.
−
Close the DLT-V83 with cable cover.
−
Mount the DLT-V83 on the device mounting bracket (follow mounting instructions).
7.3.
Connecting external accessories to the DLT-V83
The DLT-V83 must be disconnected from the power supply:
−
before external devices (e.g. scanner, keyboard) are connected or disconnected.
−
and before the DLT-V83 is connected to a network.
NOTICE: Physical damage
Observe the following when connecting/removing external devices:
Only use accessories that have been tested and approved by Advantech-DLoG for the
respective DLT-V83.
The DLT-V83 may not be connected to the power supply if external devices are being
connected/removed (not applicable for USB devices). Otherwise considerable damage could
be caused to both the DLT-V83 and the peripheral devices.
Make sure that peripherals with their own power supply are either switched on at the same
time as the DLT-V83 or after the start of the DLT-V83.
Otherwise, you must ensure that a backflow from the external device to the DLT-V83 cannot
take place.
Only power up the DLT-V83 when all devices have been connected and the DLT-V83 has
been closed correctly (remember the cable cover!). Otherwise, you may damage the
DLT-V83.
Please observe the mounting instructions supplied with the optional accessories.
