10 MW810 Mobile Workstation Vehicle Installation Manual
Equipment Ventilation
The display, keyboard and CPU Box are designed to operate properly in an ambient
temperature range of -22°F to 158°F (-30°C to +70°C). The MW810 Mobile Workstation
CPU must be installed in an area with adequate air flow to allow for proper ventilation.
Installers must install the CPU in an unobstructed
location
in order to allow proper air flow
(see Figure 5). It is imperative to avoid installing the CPU in an enclosure
or next to heat
generating equipment such as: radio transmitters, power amplifiers or
a cabin heater.
Drilling Holes
Where possible, use existing holes in the fire-wall, the trunk wall and the channels above
or beneath the doors. Run cables parallel to existing car cables if appropriate.
When holes must be drilled, verify that other wiring, break lines or gas lines are not
d
a
maged.
When drilling a hole in the roof, take
care
not to snag the roof liner.
To prevent rusting after drilling, remove all metal burrs and
residue, and completely clean
the area to ensure that all steel dust is removed.
