Electrical Warnings, Safety Precautions & Regulatory Statements Electrical Warnings, Safety Precautions & Regulatory Statements Safety Precautions The Datalogic Pegaso is a device suitable for both Commercial and Industrial applications, ready for installation in mobile environments using the Powered Mobile Dock. However, there are some safety precautions you should take to protect the PDA from unnecessary damage. Do not place the Pegaso near a television or radio receiver.
Chapter 1 Introduction Manual Overview • Chapter 1 (this chapter) provides an introduction to the features of the Powered Mobile Dock. • Chapter 2 specifies important electrical considerations to observe when installing the unit. • Chapter 3 contains instructions for mounting. • Chapter 4 describes the various peripheral connections made to the Dock, and their functions.
Introduction About the Powered Mobile Dock The Powered Mobile Dock (PMD) is a rugged cradle for Pegaso PDAs, for use on mobile applications. This guide is intended to address some of the factors to consider when installing the PMD on gas, diesel, propane or electric powered forklifts. To ensure you have the latest version of manuals and instructions for this product, download them from the Datalogic Mobile website listed on the back cover of this manual.

Chapter 2 Electrical Considerations Electrostatic Build-up One common characteristic of forklifts is the possibility of producing high levels of electrostatic voltage. Static is created by the wheels as they move about the floor and can also be generated when an operator slides on or off of a vehicle's cloth-covered seat. Static buildup on the forklift frame can be as high as several thousand volts (see Figure 2). At these levels of high voltage, a discharge can cause severe damage to electronic devices.
Electrical Considerations Ground Contact Anti-Static Straps The recommended method of reducing static buildup is to install ground contacting anti-static straps or conductors to the frame of the forklift (refer to Figure 3). Contact your forklift parts provider for availability. Figure 3.
Electrical Accessories Electrical Accessories Installation of the PMD may require accessory electronic equipment for proper and safe operation. Some of this equipment may not be available through Datalogic, but could be available through your dealer, forklift parts provider, or other suppliers. See Appendix A, “Accessories and Peripherals” on page 23. DC/DC Converter. Voltage step down device used to power the PDA from +24, +36 and +48 volt battery systems. DC Conditioner/UPS.
Electrical Considerations Electrical System Connections This section covers electrical connection to +12V, +24V, +36V and +48V systems. CAUTION Proper installation requires that source power connections be made directly to the mobile platform’s positive and negative battery terminals. It is important to maintain electrical isolation when installing the Powered Mobile Dock and any accessory equipment, to ensure safe and proper operation.
Electrical System Connections Connection to +24V, +36V and +48V Systems Figure 5 illustrates a wiring diagram for +24, +36 and +48 volt systems. The use of a DC/DC converter is required to step down the battery voltage for use by the PDA. Proper installation requires that source power connections be made directly to the mobile platform’s positive and negative battery terminals.

Chapter 3 Mounting Options Ram Ball Mounting Assembly This chapter outlines the steps needed to assemble and mount the Powered Mobile Dock using the Ram Ball mount accessory. The Ram Ball and mounting assembly, shown in Figure 6, combine to form an extremely flexible mounting assembly. This assembly allows wide range of rotation for the Mobile Dock. It can be mounted on any flat horizontal or vertical surface. Figure 6.
Mounting Options Components, Materials and Tools • Four M3.5 screws for mounting Ram Ball to PMD (supplied) • Phillips head screwdriver • Ram Ball Assembly (sold separately) Attaching the Ram Ball to the Mobile Dock 1. Align the second Ram Ball with the four screw holes on the rear of the Mobile Dock as shown in Figure 7. Figure 7. Installing the Ram Ball on the Mobile Dock 2. Secure the Ram Ball to the mounting area using the four supplied M3.5 x 15mm Phillips head screws.
Ram Ball Mounting Assembly Figure 8. Ram Ball Assembly Ram Balls Adjustment Knob Screws 3. Use four screws (customer supplied) to secure one of the Ram balls to the desired mounting surface. Set the other Ram ball aside to use later in the assembly process. 4. Re-attach the Ram Ball Assembly to the Ram Ball you just affixed to the mounting surface. Final Assembly 1.
Mounting Options Figure 9. Installing the Mobile Dock Assembly on the Mount Ram Ball Ram Ball Assembly Adjustment Knob 2. Loosen the Adjustment Knob slightly to tilt the Mobile Dock to the desired mounting angle. Re-tighten the Adjustment Knob securely. 3. Route and connect all cables (see “Power and Peripheral Device Connections” starting on page 17 for more on connections).
Inserting/Removing the Pegaso Figure 10. Inserting the Pegaso into the Powered Mobile Dock Insertion of the Pegaso in the Dock is complete. Removing the Pegaso from the Dock To remove the Pegaso from the Dock: 1. Grasp the Pegaso PDA with one hand, while pushing the Release Button with the other. 2. Lift the Pegaso straight upward to remove it from the Dock.
Mounting Options Figure 11. Removing the Pegaso from the Dock Removal of the Pegaso from the Dock is complete.
Chapter 4 Power and Peripheral Device Connections This chapter describes connection of peripheral devices that are provided with or available for the Pegaso PMD system. For more on power connections, see “Electrical Considerations” starting on page 5. Connections on the Dock Figure 12 shows the connection located on the bottom of the dock. See the following pages for more information about these connections. Figure 12.
Power and Peripheral Device Connections Also refer to “Electrical Considerations” starting on page 5 for complete information and wiring diagrams detailing power connection. For non-mobile applications, an AC power supply adapter is available to power the PMD. See “Accessories and Peripherals” on page 23. Contact your local distributor or Datalogic sales for additional information. Battery Charging The PMD provides battery charging for the Pegaso PDA when powered.
USB Connection The Pegaso Powered Mobile Dock includes a USB OTG connection (shown in Figure 12 on page 17) to allow the Pegaso PDA to communicate with peripherals such as handheld scanners and printers. The USB port is automatically configured to function as a USB host or client device when the proper cable is inserted into the Mini AB connector. If a Mini A connector is inserted into the PMDs USB connection the device will assume a host port function.
