3. INSTALLATION
It is important that before installation the ROBOT/SHOP/SCAN POS 3/4/5/6/7
terminal's position and environment be considered.
3.1 Pre-installation
Location
Ensure that as with any computer equipment, the ROBOT/SHOP/SCAN POS
3/4/5/6/7 terminal in a clean and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight
Operator’s Comfort and Safety
Operator comfort and safety should always be of the highest priority when
deciding on the location and layout of the ROBOT/SHOP/SCAN POS 3/4/5/6/7
system. Of consideration should be the distance between the operator and the
touch screen, the operator should not have to stretch to reach the screen but
also should not be in a cramped position. The height of the terminal should be
such that the operator can view the screen at right angles.
Clearances
The ROBOT/SHOP/SCAN POS 3/4/5/6/7 terminal should be located where
there is adequate clearance for ventilation around the terminal. Similarly,
clearance around the power supply for ventilation, as well as access to the
power switch, indicators and connectors should be allowed for. Additional
consideration should be given to ensuring nothing can be placed over the fan
or vent holes, e.g. paper, rags etc.
Cable Routing
In most cases the position of printers, scanners etc. will make it necessary that
the cabling will have to be run through counter dividing panels and shelves. Try
to keep these runs as short as possible, while avoiding stretching or crimping
the cable. Keep the ROBOT/SHOP/SCAN POS 3/4/5/6/7 data cables
separated from those for other equipment, in particular motors, lighting,
refrigeration etc.
