STEPPIII Hardware description
Version 1.0.0
6.6.1.1 Mounting the cradle to the terminal
Figure 16:
Attached cradle to the terminal.
In order to avoid any damage during mounting, place the terminal (if
needed) on the cradle and push it up/down until you see both terminal and
cradle holes are facing each other. Screws must be inserted with the screw
head on the bottom of cradle through to the provided holes on the bottom
of the STEPPIII. Use a suitable screwdriver to perform the rotation. Screw up
kindly the appropriate screws. To avoid short circuits ensure that the
customized screws (screws with different length) do not come into contact
with the STEPPIII PCB since there are a number of test points. Make sure that
the STEPPIII does not move up and down inside the cradle.
After you have secured up the cradle to the terminal, choose the mounting
location (see next section). The terminal can be mounted in different
locations on a wall or vehicle, metal or non-metal sheets. It depends on the
user’s application. As a reference for mounting holes use figure 15 (blue
colour).
