INTRODUCTION TO VEHICLE CRADLE INSTALLATION
You will need the following :
• The RW 420 Route Solutions Vehicle Cradle (Zebra p/n
AK18822-1)
• One of two types of power cables running between In-
Vehicle Storage/Charging Module and the vehicle’s power
source:
Either the un-terminated, fused power input cable (Zebra
p/n AK17463-006), or
The power input cable with a cigarette lighter adapter.
(Zebra p/n AK17463-007) The adapter is internally fused.
CAUTION: There must be a fuse between the vehicle’s power source and
the input power cable connection! If you are not using the cables provided
by Zebra for use with the RW 420 Route Solutions, selecting the size and
rating of this fuse is the installer’s responsibility. Do not replace the fuse
on either of the power input cables with a fuse with a different power
rating.
The Vehicle Cradle provides a source of power to run and
charge the RW 420 Route Solutions from the vehicle’s electrical
system. In all installations, the power cable is wired to the ve-
hicle’s battery power indirectly through a power take-off point.
Since each situation or equipment type may pose unique
requirements, mounting hardware selection and mechani-
cal installation shall be the responsibility of the installer. Zebra
recommends using self-locking (ESN) nuts, bolts, and/or lock
washers for installing the mount.
Since the vehicle’s electrical system is used to charge the entire
RW 420 Solutions System, it is important that this system func-
tion properly and any vehicle-generated electrical “noise” must be
minimized and within specifications.
The vehicle charging circuit must neither undercharge nor
over-charge the vehicle battery. Defective ignition wiring, dam-
aged insulation, or faulty vehicle electrical components can cause
excess electrical noise severe enough to defeat the electrical fil-
tering that is built into the Route Solutions system components.
NOTE: Hardware used to secure the Vehicle Cradle to the vehicle is not
supplied in the kit. Recommended fasteners are #8-32 (4 mm) socket head
bolts with flat washers, lock washers, nuts and/or locking nuts. You may
optionally elect to drill and tap for a #8-32 or M4 screw.
POSITION THE VEHICLE CRADLE
Your tasks are to:
• Route and install the input power cable to the vehicle’s
power source
• Mechanically install the Vehicle Cradle.
