Guidelines for Installing the Vehicle Mounting Bracket
The 5020 vehicle mounting bracket is designed to be installed on a vertical or horizontal
surface on a vehicle, such as a forklift truck, or in an office setting, such as a desk.
Before you install the 5020 vehicle mounting bracket, read the following guidelines:
•
Choose a location for the 5020 vehicle mounting bracket where the operator can
easily see the 5020 screen and use the keypad. If possible, install the vehicle
mounting bracket in a location that prevents glare from overhead lighting and
sunlight. Make sure there is enough clearance to insert and remove the 5020.
•
Secure the power cables (powered kit only) at least every 45 cm (18 inches)
throughout the length of the cable run, using adjustable clamps or tie-wraps.
•
Route all cables (powered kit only) to minimize exposure to damage. Make sure the
cables will not be pinched or rubbed by any moving parts on the vehicle. In some
applications, you might need to sheath the cable to prevent it from being pinched.
The steps to install your 5020 vehicle mounting bracket depend on the mounting
location and the accessories you want to use.
