2 Safety
2.1Assuring personal safety
Keep this information in mind:
Always exercise caution when working with electricity.
2.2Product safety
2.2.1Electrical supply
You must:
•Fit the computers with an external fuse before connecting to the recommended voltage
•Connect the computers to the recommended voltage; if they are connected to another voltage, then the product can be destroyed or its operation put at risk; see 4.2.1
Design the external electrical system so that voltage peaks do not occur in the electrical supply to the computer.
2.2.2Humidity, moisture, cold, and heat
Install the product in an environment as described in Appendix I, Specifications. If environmental requirements are not met, the product can be destroyed or its function put at risk.
Never turn on the computer unless the environmental conditions are within the specified limits (see Appendix I, Specifications). For example, ensure that the computer is turned on before you drive into a cold storage unit.
2.2.3Interference
Ensure that:
•Any nearby electrical cabling (mains supply) is run so that interference does not occur.
•The immediate environment meets requirements stated in the specified standards (see Appendix IV) with regard to interference.
2.2.4Vibrations
Mount the computer so that any vibrations that are transmitted to it do not exceed the limits at which the computer was tested (see Appendix I, Specifications). If the vibrations exceed these limits, use rubber pads or other insulation.

3 Product description
3.1Function and design
Åkerströms Trux AB designed and developed Tx700 for mounting on mobile or stationary units. Rugged design, intense screen brightness, and exceptional reliability make Tx700 suitable for demanding environments in which vehicles such as forklifts, forestry machines, and trucks operate.
Tx700 is based on a standard PC platform that enables use of most types of software adapted for Windows XP Professional or Windows XP Embedded.
Tx700 is a stand alone computer or a thin client that requires an application server.
The model is equipped with Pentium M or Celeron M processor, built-in hard disk, battery backup function, and UPS function that prevent the computer from being turned off during short power supply interruptions, to ensure that data is not lost.
Tx700 is available with several options and peripherals that are described in this manual.
3.2Usage areas
Your operation can use Tx700 for mobile and fixed applications. Typical usage areas include:
•Computers mounted on forklifts that operate within a warehouse and communicate via a wireless network.
•Trucks that contain software for global positioning system (GPS) navigation, routes, maps, and picking lists.
•Forestry machines that contain software for GPS navigation, maps, and felling instructions.

4 Product installation
4.1Mounting the unit
Tx700 is intended to be mounted so that operators can easily perform tasks while in the vehicle.
When positioning the computer on the vehicle, carefully account for operators’ working situations. An ergonomically correct installation, with an optimal field of vision, greatly facilitates the operators’ work.
Before installation, ensure that all the environmental requirements are met. Appendix I, Specifications, lists these requirements.
4.1.1Mounting Brackets
You can order several different types of brackets for the Tx700. The brackets have built-in shock absorption and can move in all directions. The arms come in three lengths, for 1,5” ball: 95 mm (3 ¾”),
154 mm (6”), 233 mm (9 2⁄14”) and three lengths for 2,25” ball: 128 mm (5”), 213 mm (8 2⁄5”), 328 mm (13.”).
Do not change the original screws that the brackets are mounted with. Screws that are too long can damage the computer’s electronics.

4.2Installing electrical components
Always exercise caution when working with electricity.
4.2.1Connecting electrical cables to power sources
The Tx700 comes with a four-meter, fourwired power cable; brown for positive and white for negative, and 2 conductors; yellow and green, to enable the screen black-out function (if selected), see 4.2.2. Connect the brown part of this cable to positive and the white part to negative on the power source (DC/DC converter), and fuse it according to these specifications shown below:
Specifications for electrical supply

|
If the vehicle’s negative is not the same as the vehicle’s chassis, then you must mount the computer on rubber pads.
Then connect the power cable to the computer’s power supply outlet; see Figure 4.
Never connect power to pins 5 or 6, which are for the screen’s black-out function described in section 4.2.2.

User Manual Tx700 |
4.2.2Enabling the screen black-out function
The power supply chassis connector contains two pins that are dedicated to dimming the screen for example when the vehicle is set in motion (when the gas pedal is pressed). The screen then lights up when the vehicle stops (when the gas pedal is released).
Connect pins 5 (green conductor) and 6 (yellow conductor) to the vehicle’s gas pedal relay via a galvanically (electrically) isolated, open/close relay contact.
If the screen’s black-out function is not selected and installed, isolate the end of the green and yellow parts in the open end of the cable.
You can set this function in the Trux Computer Manager application; see 4.3.1.

4.3Settings
4.3.1Using the Trux Computer Manager application
To configure certain Tx700 functions you can use the Trux Computer Manager, which is installed in the computers before shipping.
1Start the Control Panel from the Settings option on the Start menu.
2Double-click on the Trux icon.
The first window displays information about the application’s ID, version and release date. You might need this information when you contact Åkerströms Trux AB support department.
Only experienced (IT) employees should use the Trux Computer Manager because incorrect settings can have undesired effects on some functions.
4.3.2Configuring the battery backup function (UPS)
Tx700 has a unique, in-house developed system for battery backup (UPS) if temporary power-supply interruptions occur.
Use the Trux Computer Manager to specify values for:
•When the system should react to a power shortage
•The degree to which monitor brightness should decrease
•When the system should try to shut down the computer
Refer to the Trux Computer Manager for a more detailed description of how to configure the battery backup function.
4.3.3Adjusting start-up and shutdown settings
Depending on the environment in which Tx700 is used, the nature of the power supply and prevailing environmental conditions, you might have to adjust the ways in which start-up and shutdown will occur.
For example, using the Trux Computer Manager, you can specify whether the computer can be started from battery power when the incoming power supply is connected. You can also configure the system to shut down the computer in different situations.
Refer to the Trux Computer Manager for a detailed description of available settings.
4.3.4Configuring power supply to peripherals
Some peripherals require power from the computer’s COM or Multi Purpose ports. You can configure Tx700 so that power is supplied from pin 9 on the COM port and/or from pin 5 on the Multi Purpose port.
Refer to the Trux Computer Manager for information on how the power supply at the ports is activated.
4.3.5Battery charge function
The battery charge function can be alternate, only under operation or even when the computer is turned off or standby.
To change the battery charge function, refer to the Trux Computer Manager.

4.4Installing peripherals
Åkerströms Trux AB offers peripherals that facilitate use of Tx700. If you order peripherals with the computer, then all drivers are pre-installed. If you order them later or from a supplier other than Åkerströms Trux AB, you might have to install the drivers; if so, refer to the peripheral’s documentation.

4.4.2Supplying power to peripherals
Some peripherals require power from the computer’s COM or Multi Purpose port, for example a bar-code reader or an illuminated keyboard.
You can configure the Tx700 as follows:
•12 V power is supplied from pin 9 on the COM 2 port.
•5 V power is supplied from pin 9 on the COM 1 port.
•12 V power is supplied from pin 5 on the Multi purpose port (see Appendix II, Port signals). Peripherals, with maximum power consumption of 300 mA, can then be supplied from these ports.
Use the Trux Computer Manager to configure activation of the power supply; see 4.3.4.
4.4.3Connecting keyboards and pointing devices
Tx700 supports USB and PS/2-compatible keyboards and mice.
