About the CV41 Vehicle Mount Computer
The rugged CV41 Vehicle Mount Computer is designed for real-time
data collection applications in warehousing, distribution,
work-in-process, time and attendance, and stationary applications.
The CV41 is highly configurable and runs on the Microsoft Windows
CE 6.0 operating system. Additionally, the CV41 supports terminal
emulation applications, browser-based applications, or custom
applications.
The CV41 is used in conjunction with the smart dock. The dock
installs onto a vehicle and provides conditioned power to the CV41. All
peripheral connections are also made on the dock. With the CV41
design, you can easily remove the CV41 from the smart dock and
attach it to another vehicle that is equipped with a dock.
The CV41 also contains an internal UPS battery. When fully charged,
the battery can power the CV41 for a minimum of 30 minutes when
the C41 is not attached to the dock, or when vehicle power is
interrupted.
