Chapter 2 Using the Mobile Collection 2.x System
Mobile Collector Sled
The Mobile Collector sled is a mounting bracket designed to secure the Mobile Collector
radio in the vehicle and support it and the GoBook in an upright position on the passenger
seat.
GoBook Mounting Systems
There are two mounting options for the GoBook:
• Direct Mount Option The GoBook mounts directly on the Mobile Collector.
• Vehicle Dock / Pedestal Option The GoBook mounts remotely on a free-standing
pedestal, using the Itronix vehicle cradle.
The Itronix documentation refers to the laptop receptacle as a cradle; Itron uses
the term
dock to identify this piece of equipment. The term dock is used repeatedly
throughout this manual; however,
dock and cradle are interchangeable.
WARNING! Improperly installed or secured components may
result in injury or death in the event of a collision. Install and secure
the system components in accordance with this document, the
Mobile Collection Vehicle Preparation Guide, the Mobile Collection
Sled and Pretensioner Installation Guide, manufacturer installation
instructions, and applicable safety standards.
Direct Mounting Options
The GoBook communicates with the Mobile Collector and receives power from it through
the mounting connector, providing fast, easy docking and removal, without additional
cables.
The GoBook MAX mounts onto the Mobile Collector radio within the mounting guides so
that the mounting connector and the external modem connector insert into mating
connectors on the underside of the GoBook. A key inserted into the locking mechanism
turns clockwise to lock the GoBook in place.
