Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 157Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesThe Vehicle Cradle8.10 The Vehicle CradleFigure 8.18 Unpowered Vehicle CradleThe vehicle cradle is available in two versions – unpowered (WA1000) and powered (WA1010). A port replicator option is available for both types of vehicle cradle.The vehicle cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station dock. Although it provides quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the WORKABOUT PRO securely even when operated in high vibration environments. 8.10.1 Vehicle Cradle Mounting RecommendationsWarning: Before mounting a vehicle cradle in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that require careful attention. An improp-erly mounted cradle may result in one or more of the following: operator injury, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer. Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consider-ation, especially for separately tethered scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice,
contact Psion Teklogix for assistance (see Appendix A: Support Services And Worldwide Offices). Note also that for better protec-tion, the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.The most effective way to mount the vehicle cradle is to use the four #8-32 threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 10mm (3/8") into the cradle.To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the bottom of the cradle. Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to allow easy removal of the hand-held. Also remember to leave at least a 3" clearance at the sides of the cradle to allow activation of the release knobs. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a mounting location.8.10.1.1 Mounting TemplateThe vehicle cradle is shipped with detailed mounting instructions including a drill template.8.10.2 Wiring GuidelinesBefore installing cables between the cradle and other devices, review the following:• Ensure that drilling holes will not damage the vehicle or its wiring.• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.• Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from areas where they may get snagged or pulled.• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere with the operation of the vehicle.8.10.3 Using The Vehicle CradleIf your WORKABOUT PRO is equipped with a shoulder strap or cover, these accessories need to be removed before installing the unit in a vehicle cradle. There is no need to remove handstraps, pistol grips or tethered devices from the unit.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 159Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesMaintaining The Vehicle Cradle• Slide the WORKABOUT PRO into the cradle, and press firmly downward until it locks into place. On a vehicle, it’s a good idea to pull up on the WORKABOUT PRO to be certain that it is secure.• To remove the unit, press firmly on the RELEASE button on the front face of the unit until it releases from it latch. The hand-held will be slightly raised so that it can be removed.8.10.4 Maintaining The Vehicle CradleTwo latches in the cradle hold the WORKABOUT PRO firmly in place. Although these latches are designed for robustness and endurance, they will wear over time and will no longer lock the hand-held securely in the cradle. For replacement parts and instructions contact Psion Teklogix. Partial disassembly is required.8.10.5 Powered Cradle Installation In High Voltage VehiclesWarning: Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For powered cradle installations on vehicles with batteries above this voltage, ensure the powered cradle power connector is mounted in a dry location on the vehicle, or that the connector is insulated with an appropriate waterproof material after installation. The connector must also be installed out of the vehicle operator’s reach. Exposing an accessible power connector to water or other liquids could create a hazardous situation resulting in serious injury or death.Installation of powered cradles in vehicles that operate above 60VDC require special consideration.Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure that the powered cradle power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator, and does not get exposed to water or other liquids. This can be accomplished in one of the following ways:• Ensure the power connector is installed in a dry location on the vehicle, away from the vehicle operator’s reach (perhaps under a vehicle dash or in a sealed housing).• Cover the power connector with a waterproof heat shrink material.• Wrap the connector securely with a waterproof electrical tape in an area out of the vehicle operators reach.
Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesPowered Vehicle Cradle Installation160 Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User ManualAll other installation requirements outlined in this document should also be followed for High Voltage vehicles to insure safe installation and operation of the powered cradle.8.10.6 Powered Vehicle Cradle InstallationThe powered cradle option is designed to allow the WORKABOUT PRO to be powered by a vehicle battery. The battery installed in the hand-held is also recharged by the vehicle battery. This option accepts DC power sources ranging from 10 to 55V, with optional pre-regulator. The vehicle cradle can be ordered with the powered cradle option installed.Warning: Applying a voltage greater than that specified or reversing or reversing polarity may result in permanent damage to the cradle power option and will void the product warranty.8.10.6.1 Wiring Vehicle Power To The CradleA 1.8 meter (6 foot) extension power cable (PN 13985) is supplied with your powered vehicle cradle. This cable should be wired to a filtered, fused (maximum 10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. The power cradle draws no more than 8A (less if the accessory supply is greater than 12V). Any additional wiring, connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 10A. The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the negative supply – this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. The power cradle is fully isolated and can be used with both negative and positive chassis vehicles.You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is preferable to wire the power cradle after the key switch – that is, it cannot be turned on without the key on. However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the cradle before the switch.Keep in mind that the WORKABOUT PRO will continue to operate with or without vehicle power as long as its battery has sufficient charge.
Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual 161Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesThe Port ReplicatorIf an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440) must be added to the extension power cable (the fuse and instructions are supplied with the cable). Use only a 10A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly.8.10.7 The Port ReplicatorFigure 8.19 Port ReplicatorThe port replicator (Model# WA4005) is an optional accessory that allows tethered devices as well as mounted peripherals (e.g., bar code printers or weigh scales) to be attached to the vehicle cradle. The replicator can be used with or without the cradle power option.The functionality of the WORKABOUT PRO tether port is replicated into RS-232 serial interfaces by the port replicator. It provides the user with 3 DB9 serial interfaces as well as one Type B USB port (for connecting a Host device).
Chapter 8: Peripheral Devices & AccessoriesBluetooth Peripherals162 Psion Teklogix WORKABOUT PRO Hand-Held Computer User Manual8.11 Bluetooth PeripheralsThe WORKABOUT PRO C (a unit equipped with a colour display) – comes equipped with a Bluetooth radio, making it is possible to communicate with a variety of Bluetooth peripherals, including GSM/GPRS handsets, scanners, printers, and so on. Note: Bluetooth is not available for WORKABOUT PRO Ms The range of the Bluetooth radio is limited to approximately 5 meters.Psion Teklogix provides built-in support for the Bluetooth peripherals listed below.• GSM/GPRS universal handset• Bluetooth printerKeep in mind that Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11b radios both operate in the 2.4GHz band. Although the WORKABOUT PRO includes features to minimize interfer-ence, performance of the system will not be optimal if you use both radios simulta-neously. Typically, when both radios operate in the hand-held at the same time, they cannot transmit simultaneously – this has a negative impact on overall system throughput. To minimize the impact on the backbone 802.11b network, Psion Teklogix recommends using Bluetooth peripherals that have low transaction rates (such as printers and scanners).Bluetooth peripherals are configured using the Bluetooth control panel applet. Refer to “Bluetooth Setup” on page 78 for information about setting up your Bluetooth devices for communication. In addition, review the manual shipped with your Bluetooth device to determine the method used to associate with the WORK-ABOUT PRO host.

These drivers must be updated with WORKABOUT PRO-specific information so that the WORK-ABOUT PRO can be recognized by your PC. The install program:• updates copies of the device installation scripts usbstor.inf and wceusbsh.inf with Psion Teklogix-specific information,• sets up a USB connection between the PC and the WORKABOUT PRO, and • installs the WORKABOUT PRO as a device on your PC. This may require notifying the PC OS that the device should be reinstalled and then recon-necting the USB device.C.1.1 Launching The ApplicationThe log file is initialized and the program introduction is written to it.
