1.0 Introduction

The Navman MDT-860 Mobile Data Terminal enables the rapid development of a high quality

customized product for solution providers. The MDT-860 provides a robust eld proven, cost

effective hardware platform on which a vast array of products can be built, including: telemetry

devices, modems, RFID readers, barcode scanners, swipe card readers, PLC’s, printers, etc.

All software development is performed in ‘C’, so processor specic knowledge is not required.

The software writer is protected from low-level programming by the comprehensive Application

Programming Interface (API) supplied in the Software Development Kit (SDK).

2.0 Technical description

The MDT-860 has an integrated LCD display, 21 key user keypad, 2x serial connectors and a

PC/2 keyboard interface, all controlled by a high-performance embedded microcontroller.

2.1 Product applications

With the exibility of the SDK, the MDT-860 has the capability to display text and graphics,

input user keyboard data, and send serial data to a wide variety of custom applications by

interfacing with machinery, cellular modems, remote radios, or any device that can provide serial

connectivity.

The MDT-860 series may also be used in conjunction with the range of Navman cellular and

GPS devices available from Navman Wireless OEM sales. With these devices a cost-effective

tracking and communication system can easily and quickly be built.

2.2 Physical characteristics

The MDT-860 is a complete data message display and text entry terminal enclosed in a

Makroblend UT404 UV-stabilized plastic case, with 25 key conductive carbon non-tactile

elastomer contacts each coated with a pre-labeled matt epoxy nish. The front case is joined to

the backcase using 7 screws. The MDT-860 provides a choice of mounting methods on the rear

of the case.
