4 MW810 Mobile Workstation Vehicle Installation Manual
Planning
Be sure to consider the following issues when planning the installation:
• Keyboard and display location relative to air bag deployment zones
• Environmental considerations
• Electrical guidelines
• Liquid Propane (LP) gas warning
• Usability by driver/operator
• Vehicle vendor instructions
• Local vehicle authority regulations/design rules
MW810 Mobile Workstation Mounting Location
The MW810 Mobile Workstation is typically installed on a mount/trunnion assembly, which
affixes directly to the vehicle transmission hump or to the Tunnel plate (preferred and not
included in the kit).
Using an optional tall pedestal under the MW810 Mobile Workstation is recommended only
for use in vehicles where air bag compliance is not required. An example of this is a utility
van which does not have passenger-side air bags for the given model year.
Correct positioning of the components will ensure that the MW810 Mobile Workstation
meets the following requirements:
• It is within easy reach of the driver/operator (more difficult due to air bag constraints).
• It will not injure the operator or passenger in case of an accident.
• It does not interfere with the driver’s vision.
• The workstation parts are properly ventilated.
• Place the MW810 Mobile Workstation so that it can be easily removed for servicing.
• Do not mount the MW810 Mobile Workstation and route its cables where they can be
kicked by the driver’s or other passenger’s foot.
• Verify that the MW810 Mobile Workstation will not interfere with operation of the vehicle
and will not hinder the driver when driving the vehicle.
• Verify that the mounting surface is able to support the weight of the units.
• To cool the MW810, allow sufficient space around the MW810 Mobile Workstation for
free air flow.
When installing the MW810, make sure that the CPU Box mount/
trunnion or any support is tightly anchored to the vehicle structure.
Wobbly mount/trunnion can damage the hard drive.

Caution
To avoid radio Interference, the distance between the display and CPU
Box mounting locations must be more than 8 inches (20 cm).
