About Screen Blanking
The CV41 supports screen blanking. When motion is detected, a screen
blanking box or switch turns off the computer screen to avoid
unecessary driver distractions. Once the vehicle is stationary, the
screen turns back on. To enable screen blanking on your computer,
you must use one of the following:
• Screen blanking box
• Switch
Intermec recommends that you use the screen blanking box to enable
screen blanking on the CV41. If your vehicle lacks an electrical signal
that detects vehicle motion or your vehicle voltage is not supported by
the screen blanking box, use a switch to enable screen blanking.
You can install the switch in a variety of ways, but Intermec
recommends you install a switch that closes when the user presses the
accelerator pedal on a vehicle.
Intermec does not sell a switch for screen blanking, but you can
purchase a screen blanking box from Intermec. For more information,
contact your local Intermec representative.
Install the Hardware for Screen Blanking
This section explains how to install the switch to enable screen
blanking on your computer. To purchase a screen blanking box,
contact your local Intermec representative.
Before You Install the Switch
Before you install the switch or relay for screen blanking, you need to
supply power to the vehicle mount computer.
Installation of the screen blanking box or switch should be done
by trained service personnel only.
