UMAN-RW4PS-101 • EN-18
• One of two types of power cables running between the
Vehicle Cradle (Part number listed Table 1) and the vehi
-
cle’s power source:
• An unterminated, fused power input cable (ref. Zebra p/n
AK17463-006), or
• A power input cable with a cigarette lighter adapter. The
adapter is internally fused (ref. Zebra p/n AK17463-007).
CAUTION: There must be a fuse between the vehicle’s power source and
the input power cable connection! If you are not using the cable provided
by Zebra for use with the RW 420 Print Station, selecting the size and
rating of this fuse is the installer’s responsibility. Do not replace the fuse
on either of the power input cables with a fuse with a different power
rating.
The Vehicle Cradle provides a source of power to run and
charge the RW 420 Print Station from the vehicle’s electrical sys-
tem. In all installations, the power cable is wired to the vehicle’s
battery power indirectly through a power take-off point.
Since each situation or equipment type may pose unique
requirements, mounting hardware selection and mechani-
cal installation shall be the responsibility of the installer. Zebra
recommends using self-locking (ESN) nuts, bolts, and/or lock
washers for installing the mount.
Since the vehicle’s electrical system is used to charge the entire
RW 420 Print Station System, it is important that this system func-
tion properly. The vehicle’s charging circuit must work properly
and vehicle-generated electrical “noise” must be minimized and
within specifications.
The vehicle charging circuit must neither undercharge nor
over-charge the vehicle battery. Defective ignition wiring, dam-
aged insulation, or faulty vehicle electrical components can cause
excess electrical noise severe enough to defeat the electrical fil-
tering that is built into the Print Station system components.
NOTE: Hardware used to secure the Route Solutions Vehicle Cradle to the
vehicle is not supplied in the kit. Recommended fasteners are #8-32 (3
mm) hex head or socket head bolts with flat washers, lock washers, nuts
and/or locking nuts. You may optionally elect to drill and tap for a #8-32
or M4 screw.

Your tasks are to:
• Route and install the input power cable to the vehicle’s
power source.
