Environmental Considerations
Consider the environmental parameters listed in the General Specifications section before
installing the MW810 Mobile Workstation.
.
Equipment Ventilation
The display and CPU Box are designed to operate properly in an ambient temperature range
of -22°F to 158°F (-30°C to +70°C). The MW810 Mobile Workstation CPU must be installed
in an area with adequate air flow to allow for proper ventilation. Installers must install the
CPU in an unobstructed location in order to allow proper air flow (see Figure 4). It is
imperative to avoid installing the CPU in an enclosure or next to heat generating equipment
such as: radio transmitters, power amplifiers or a cabin heater.
Drilling Holes
• Where possible, use existing holes in the fire-wall, the trunk wall and the channels above
or beneath the doors. Run cables parallel to existing car cables if appropriate.
• When holes must be drilled, verify that other wiring, break lines or gas lines are not
damaged.
• When drilling a hole in the roof, take care not to snag the roof liner.
• To prevent rusting after drilling, remove all metal burrs and residue, and completely clean
the area to ensure that all steel dust is removed.
• Insert rubber grommets in all drilled holes to protect cables.
Electrical Guidelines
The power range requirement for operating the MW810 Mobile Workstation is 13.8 VDC +/
- 20% in a 12V battery, 15A system, negative ground vetting or 27.6 VDC +/- 20% in a 24V
battery 10A system, negative ground vetting.
For operation in hot climates, the vehicle must be adequately
ventilated (for temperatures, also refer to General Specifications
section).
