Optionally, the CE-500 platform provides the Device Cradle. The Cradle is used for mechanical mounting
and electronic connectivity of the device in solutions that require Fixed and Portable operations.
The Device Cradle is fixed-mounted in a vehicle cabin, and all electronic interfaces are connected to the
Cradle “Interface” connectors, which are located on the rear panel. All signals connected to Cradle
”Interface” connectors are transparently connected to the Cradle “Device” connectors, which correctly
meet the device's “Terminal” connectors when the device is placed in the Cradle. When the device is
removed from the Cradle, the device can continue to operate using the internal battery. However, the
device loses connectivity to the Cradle interface connections.
Two models of the Device Cradle are available:
Basic, which provides two Cradle “Device” “Con1” and “Con2” connectors with the correct “Interface”
connectors. The Basic model supports all interface connections provided with the basic configuration
of the CE-500 device.
Enhanced, which provides additional “Device” “Con3” and “Con4” connectors with the relevant
“Interface” connectors that support additional optional features of the device. These optional features
are required for implementing the additional interfaces.
The CE-500 Device Cradle supports both CE-504 and CE-507 device models.
NOTE:
The pinout and types of interface connectors that are provided with the Device Cradle
are similar to those for the same purposes by the relevant CE-500 Accessory Cable.
