4.2 Mounting Options for the 8580/8590
The 8580/8590 can be mounted in a variety of ways:
• Horizontally – The unit can be positioned horizontally on a desk or mounted on a steer-
ing wheel and vehicle console.
• Wall mounted – Wall mounts are available so that the unit can be mounted on machines
and operating panels.
• Roof mounted – The vehicle-mount can also be mounted on the roof, for example,
under the vehicle roof.
Depending on the vibration resistance and pivoting demands, mounting brackets, clamp
foots or RAM mount elements can also be used to attach the device. Please contact your
Psion sales office (refer to Appendix A: “Support Services & Worldwide Offices”) for infor-
mation about the installation options available.
Warning: The grounding bar is equipped with a spade lug at each end. This may be
used to connect the bar to the 8580/8590 ground point if necessary. Do not
connect the grounding bar to the 8580/8590 chassis without being sure that
the potentials of cable shields that contact it are at the same potential as the
vehicle chassis.
Important: Excessive force is not required to fit the cable cover over the equipment's
cable duct. There must be no damage to the lid seal of the cable cover. The
partially threaded screws must be tightened 5 turns at a time, preferably
diagonally opposed. Retighten the screws after 2 days.
Important: Please retain these mounting instructions. Always remove the cable cover
before connecting any other equipment, and replace the cover after con-
nection. Ensure that these guidelines are followed when attaching the
cable cover. The protection class cannot be guaranteed if the cable cover is
attached incorrectly.
Important: Risk of injury – The unit could fall during transit or installation and cause
injury. Always ensure that there are two people available when installing or
removing the device.
