Quickstart
MTC 6 Series
Prepare / Switch on MTC 6
1
Tip: Configure the MTC 6 before fastening it to machines or vehicles, because in
this way software configuration for the WLAN function, for Automatic switch-off, etc.
is significantly simpler and more convenient.
Prerequisites:
• Advantech-DLoG power supply cable
• Advantech-DLoG Preconverter (a special table supply power unit), to connect the MTC 6 to an AC power supply. The Preconverter is specially prepared to simulate a vehicle’s ignition signal: DC+ and Ign are connected with the +Pole of the power supply.
MTC 6 Industrial PC
• If you want to operate the MTC 6 using an external mouse or keyboard, connect this before switching on the device.

Preconverter and Power supply cable for MTC 6
Power supply / Switch on the device
NOTICE: The MTC 6 series is equipped with an integrated, galvanic isolated
power supply for direct voltage. 12/24 VDC and 24/48 VDC models are available. The output voltage of the Preconverter must be compatible with the input voltage
of the MTC 6. If it is not, the MTC 6 may become badly damaged.
• Connect the MTC 6 to the power supply using an Advantech-DLoG Preconverter.
• Switch-on the MTC 6 by pressing the <Power>-button:
Configuring MTC 6 with DLoG Config
2
Your MTC 6 is equipped with the configuration program DLoG Config. You can define the
automatic switch-off and front key assignment and other settings with this program..
!
NOTICE: DLoG Config settings may be made only by qualified technical staff.
A detailed description of the DLoG Config settings can be found in the DLoG
Config Manual (Downloads menu at www.advantech-dlog.com).
Start DLoG Config
• Click the DLoG Config icon in the task bar to start the program.
• DLoG Config is automatically started in the Admin-Mode. Only in Admin-Mode DLoG Config settings can be saved!
• Insert passwort “gold“.
Or:
• Start DLoG Config via Start - Programs.
• DLoG: DLoG Config (Run as administrator)
Only in Admin-Mode your DLoG Config settings can be saved!
DLoG Config program functions
• Configure the Automatic Switch-off function, it governs the power-up
and shutdown procedures for the MTC 6 connected to a separate start-up signal, for example a car ignition.
• Program the Front Panel keys of the MTC 6: assign frequently used
functions to the soft keys.
• Tip: In the Settings menu you can define the language of the
DLoG Config software.
• Insert passwort “gold“.
Wireless Network Settings (WLAN)
The MTC 6 optionally contains a Summit WLAN card.
A default WLAN profile with basic settings is defined in the factory by Advantech-DLoG. This profile has to be adjusted to customer-specific requirements with the help of the Summit Client Utility program (SCU).
!
NOTICE: WLAN settings with SCU may be made only by
qualified technical staff .
The SCU password is: “SUMMIT“ (all uppercase).
Summit Client Utility Program (SCU)
• Start the Summit Client Utility program with the SCU-Icon on the desktop.
• Log on.
• Insert the password “SUMMIT“ (all uppercase).
• Make the desired settings.

Overview of Installation Steps
Before you mount the MTC 6 onto the place of installation (e.g. the vehicle):
• The automatic switch-off function must be configured.
• The place of installation/the vehicle must be prepared (on vehicles: connection to ignition, observe correct voltage, etc.).
Position of the MTC 6 on vehicles
• The driver‘s field of vision in the vehicle must not be obstructed.
• If you want to install a keyboard and scanner, please allow enough space.
We recommend that the installation process is carried out in the following sequence:
• Step 1: Secure the mounting bracket onto the vehicle.
• Step 2: Connect the cables to the device.
• Step 3: Attach the MTC 6 to the mounting bracket.
Please observe the assembly instructions that comes with the relevant mounting kit.

NOTICE:
• Ensure that the ground connection is correct!
Ground bolt
• Choose a suitable position for the ground connection.
• Sometimes the position from which the ground signal is to come is specified by the vehicle manufacturer.
• Position and connect the MTC 6 as close to the battery as possible.
• Do not attach the MTC 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.
MTC 6 connectors, 24/48 VDC
• 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.

Once the MTC 6 and mounting bracket have been secured
• Prepare the strain relief.
• Position the cables on the stress relief rail so that they will fit through the openings in the cable cover.
• Mount the cables loosely on the strain relief rail.
Final steps:
• Fix the cables to the strain relief rail.
Example for cable positioning
to the strain relief rail
• Close the cable cover carefully, observing the assembly instructions provided with the MTC 6.
