4.1 Overview
The 8585 can be installed in a variety of ways:
• It can be positioned horizontally on a desk or mounted on a steering wheel and vehicle console.
• Wall mounts are also available for mounting the unit on machines and operating panels.
• Roof mounting is also possible, for example under the vehicle roof.
Depending on the vibration resistance and pivoting demands, mounting brackets, clamp foots or RAM
mount elements can also be used to attach the device. Please contact your Psion sales office to find out
more about the whole range of installation options on offer.
4.2 Follow and Retain the Mounting Instructions
Please follow the mounting instructions included with assembly kit when installing your 8585. Please make
sure that you retain the instructions.
Pay careful attention to Chapter 2: “Approvals and Basic Safety Guidelines”.
4.3 Mechanical Dynamic Loading
Since the 8585 is a weighted structure, it is invariable that the unit will be subject to mechanical dynamic
effects. Therefore optimizing the mounting is necessary.
4.4 Cooling Through the Supply of Fresh Air
The 8585 employs a passive cooling concept whereby the waste heat generated inside the device is
emitted from the surface of the housing. For this system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation
is required.
Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to dissipate accumulated
heat to the outside.
4.5 Power Supply
The 8585 is equipped with a galvanically separated, integrated DC power supply.
Power is connected to the underside of the unit using a Phoenix Contact plug. There is no power switch.
* The SELV circuit is a secondary circuit that is designed and protected so that its voltages will not exceed a
safe value both when operating correctly or if a single error occurs.
Warning: The unit could fall during transit or installation/mounting and cause injury.
Always ensure that there are two people available when installing or removing
the device.
Caution:
Property
Damage If the 8585 does not have access to fresh cooling air, it may result in overheating and severe
damage to the unit. The maximum permissible ambient temperature for the entire system
needs to be taken into account for the concrete application area.
Caution:
Property
Damage The 8585 must only be connected to a SELV circuit.*
Ensure that there is a suitable disconnecting device such as a power switch or circuit breaker
in the power supply circuit. Ensure that the disconnecting device isolates all supply voltage
lines.
The DC+ connecting cable must be protected by a fuse (30 AT max.).
The ignition connecting cable must be protected by a fuse of the following type: 5x20
mm T 125 mA L / 250 V, for example, a Wickmann 195-125 mA / 250 V.
Warning: Use the connecting cables supplied by Psion to connect the 8585 to the
power supply.
Make sure that the connecting cables are laid without kinks and are protected.
