2.3 8525/30 Freezer And Outdoor Guidelines

8525/8530 vehicle-mounts are sealed against dust and high-pressure water jets to

the international standard IP66.

2.3.1 Important Operating Instructions

Warning: IT IS CRITICAL that this information be reviewed and that any

guidelines applicable to your vehicle-mount be strictly followed.

For All Freezer Vehicle-Mounts

• Use vehicle-mounts only in the environments for which they are designed.

• All Psion Teklogix freezer vehicle-mounts have built-in heaters where

required to warm internal components. To help maintain the temperature,

units should be switched on before entry into a freezer environment and

should be left connected to vehicle power and running at all times while in a

freezer environment.

• When moving between freezer and warm, humid environments, window

condensation or icing on the outside of the display window is a normal

occurrence. Wiping the condensation from the window may help, but the

operator may need to wait until the condensation stops forming before use.

• To reduce condensation and frost on vehicle-mount displays, use an

anti-fogging agent once a week or as required.

• Contact lubricant and connector caps must be used on all external connec-

tors to maintain a moisture barrier and prevent corrosion during freezer and

outdoor use. On all 8525/8530 vehicle-mount computers, the contact lubri-

cant –PN 95146 (Nyogel) must be used. Further, the appropriate contact

lubricant should be replaced at least monthly in applications requiring daily

or frequent removal of cables. Refer to the table below for connector cap

part numbers.
