4 Universal Vehicle Power Supply Installation Instructions
About the Vehicle Voltage
Make sure that your vehicle’s electrical system is in good
working condition for all types of installations. The charging
circuit must work properly and vehicle generated electrical
“noise” must be minimized.
Excess electrical noise can be severe enough to defeat the
electrical filtering that is built into Intermec products.
Defective ignition wiring, damaged insulation, or a faulty
vehicle electrical component can cause electrical noise,
possibly causing unpredictable behavior in printers and
docks.
How to Secure Cables
When you install cables, follow these installation guidelines:
• Use the cable clamps or wire-ties provided to secure the
cables at least every 46 cm (18 in).
• Do not secure cables to any moving parts on the vehicle.
Make sure the cable is at least 15.2 cm (6 in) away from
the exhaust system.
How to Mount the Power Supply
Follow these installation guidelines:
• Select a mounting location that is convenient for the
vehicle operator. Make sure that the cables can easily
reach from the power source to the equipment.
• Provide 840 to 1030 sq cm (130 to 160 sq in) of metallic
surface to disperse heat generated by the power supply.
• Make sure that the mounting location is thick enough to
accept and retain the power supply.
• Use the provided hex bolts, lock washers, and locking
nuts to mount the power supply.
Note: If the vehicle voltage is too high or too low, the
Intermec equipment may not work.
