Installation 5
Planning
Be sure to consider the following issues when planning the installation:
• Keyboard and display location relative to air bag deployment zones
• Environmental considerations
• Electrical guidelines
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas warning
• Usability by driver/operator
• Vehicle vendor instructions
• Local vehicle authority regul
atio
ns/design rules
MW810 Mobile Workstation Mounting Location
The MW810 Mobile Workstation is typically installed on a Mounting Trunnion assembly,
which affixes directly to the vehicle transmission hump or to the tunnel plate (preferred and
not included in the kit).
Using an optional tall pedestal under the MW810 Mobile
Workstation is recommended only
for use in vehicles where air bag compliance is not required. An example of this is a utility
van which does not have passenger-side air bags for the given model year.
Correct positioning of the components will ensure that
the MW810 Mobile Workstation
meets the following requirements:
• The display and keyboard are within easy reach of
the
driver/operator (more difficult due
to air bag constraints).
• It will not injure the operator or passenge
r in case of an accident.
• The display does not interfere with the driver’s vision.
• The display and the CPU Box are properly
ventilated.
•
Place the CPU Box so that it can be easily removed for servicing.
• Do not mount the MW810 Mobile Workstation and route its cables
where they can be
damaged, kicked by the driver’s or other passenger’s foot.
• Verify that the MW810 Mobile Workstation will not interfere with operat
ion
of the vehicle
and will not hinder the driver when driving the vehicle.
• Verify that the mounting surface is able to
support the weight of the display and the CPU
Box.
When installing the MW810 Mobile Workstation, make sure that the
CPU Box Mounting Trunnion or any support is tightly anchored to the
vehicle structure. Wobbly Mounting Trunnion can damage the
workstation.
!
Caution
To avoid radio Interference, the distance between the display and CPU
Box mounting locations
must be more than 8 inches (20 cm).
