Approvals and Safety Summary
VI 8580/8590 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual
connection, an easily accessible disconnecting device (e.g. a switch such as a
circuit breaker) should be installed close to the device. Ensure that the power
cable is laid so that it is mechanically protected.
The power supply cables must be laid in accordance with the applicable local
installation regulations.
Installation of the 8580/8590 on a vehicle must be performed in accordance with
Chapter 4. Specifically, special attention must be paid to the various electrical
potentials of the vehicle. Some vehicles have a chassis that is connected to one of
the battery supply lines (DC+ or DC-), while most electrically driven forklifts
vehicles have floating chassis, connected to neither DC+ or DC-. Refer to “Vehi-
cle Applications (such as Forklifts)” on page 46 for required wiring of vehicle
power and fusing for the 8580/8590.
Radio Performance
Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power which is specified
by each separate country. 8580/8590 users must verify this themselves.
Risk of Injury
The unit could fall during transit or installation and cause injury. Always ensure
that there are two persons available when installing or removing the device.
Supply of Fresh Air
The 8580/8590 is based on a passive cooling concept. As a result, the waste heat
which is produced inside the device is emitted over the surface of the housing.
For this system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required.
Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable
to dissipate accumulated heat to the outside.
If the 8580/8590 is not able to draw in fresh cooling air, this may cause overheat-
ing and severe damage to the unit.
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for the system needs to be taken
into account for the concrete application area.
Power Supply/External Peripheral Devices
Operation in an Emergency
In case of emergency (such as damage to the power cable, or housing, or ingress
of liquid or other foreign bodies), the device must be disconnected immediately
from the power supply. Contact technical support staff at once.
