2.12 Low Temperature, Freezer and Outdoor Terminals
Teklogix has developed a range of hand-held and vehicle-mount terminals that
can withstand low temperatures, outdoor use, and/or freezer applications. Each
terminal’s capabilities along with a list of operating guidelines is provided in
this document.
2.12.1 Hand-Held Terminals
7035 Freezer Terminals
Important: A 7035 freezer terminal will cold-start if left in a freezer;
HOWEVER, you may experience long delays while the internal
heater warms the liquid crystal display to a temperature that can
provide an acceptable refresh rate.
In cases where the 7035 freezer terminal is left to freeze in an
environment below -20˚ C (-4˚ F), and the battery has less than a
30% charge remaining, the terminal may not power up properly.
IN ORDER TO AVOID THESE ISSUES, we recommend that the
7035 freezer terminal be stored and powered up at temperatures
above 0˚ C (32˚ F).
• For use in temperatures ranging from -30˚ C to 50˚ C (-22˚ F to 122˚ F).
• Water-sealed to IP 54 to withstand rain and condensing environments.
• 7035 terminals must be used with a rubber boot or vinyl protective carrying
case to enhance drop performance below 0˚ C (32˚ F).
2.12.2 Vehicle-Mount Terminals
8255/8260 Standard Temp., Low Temp., and Freezer vehicle-mount terminals are
sealed against dust and high-pressure water jets to the international standard IP66.
8255/8260 Freezer Terminals
Warning: 8255 LCD terminals are not available in a low temperature or
freezer versions.
• 8260 LCD vehicle-mounts: Suitable for use in temperatures ranging from
-30˚ C to 50˚ C (-22˚ F to 122˚ F).
• VFD and EL vehicle-mounts: Suitable for use in temperatures ranging
from -30˚ C to 60˚ C (-22˚ F to 140˚ F).
