VC80 Mounting Accessories
WARNING Failure to install the mount correctly, or modifications to the mount, may result in serious
injury or damage to property. Contact Zebra Technical Support or your Zebra representa-
tive if you have problems installing this mount. To ensure operator safety, you must use a
calibrated torque wrench and the supplied mounting hardware when fastening the com-
puter and mount. Use of this mount in vehicles driven on public roads or highways is
prohibited. Contact Zebra for further details.
Before mounting a VC80 in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that
require careful attention. When mounting a VC80 use only approved Zebra mounting
hardware and mounting parts which are specific to the VC80 model purchased. An
improperly mounted VC80 or use of non-approved parts may result in one or more of the
following: operator injury, property damage, operator visibility obstruction, operator dis-
traction, and/or poor ease of egress for the operator. Zebra strongly recommends that you
seek professional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.
If it is necessary to mount the VC80 overhead, or in any position that could cause injury to
the operator should the unit fall, it is critical that a secondary tether or other fail safe
device be installed.
The following restrictions must be strictly enforced:
•
Do not use the mount and/or the VC80 as a hand-held. Using the mount in this manner
may cause the person to fall or dislodge the mounting hardware and/or mounts.
•
Do not add weight or attach any other items to the mount or VC80. Additional elements
may fall causing injury, or may increase the chance of failure and/or damage in
mounting hardware and/or mounts.
•
Mounts used in industrial or vibration generating environments may be subjected to
fatigue, stress, and/or part wear. A periodic inspection of the mounting hardware and
mounts should be performed to ensure parts are retightened to the correct torque, free
of fractures, excessive wear, and/or other environmental damage. Any parts found to
be unsafe should be removed and replaced immediately. After inspection or
replacement of parts, readjust the mount as outlined in the pertinent sections below.
•
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for
separately connected scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable
to obtain suitable advice, contact Zebra for assistance. For better protection, the
equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.
•
When charging the vehicle battery, the VC80 must be either disconnected from the
battery or it must be determined that the maximum allowed input voltage of the VC80 is
not exceeded.
