SECTION 1General Information
Fuse Replacement
The single and multidock models contain a user replaceable
fuse. This 6 amp 250 volt fuse protects the dock from damage if there is a big power surge or a malfunction that
causes the fuse to blow.
The fuse holder for both the single dock and the multidock
are identical. Detail drawings are shown below.
If the indicator(s) on the front of either dock does not light
or if terminals go to sleep and their batteries do not charge,
you should make sure the power cord is secure. If it is, then
you should remove and examine (or test) the internal fuse.
If the fuse is bad (open circuit) replace and try the dock
again.
1. Using a small flat-blade screwdriver, slip the blade
into the small slot and pry out the fuse holder.
2. Replace with a 6 amp 250 volt fuse.

Installation Guidelines
Single and multidock units are intended to be installed and
used in environments that remain at about room temperature as opposed to high and low extremes.
There are a number of places to avoid when planning your
installation, these include:
" Outdoor loading dock, or staging area
" Walk-in coolers or other refrigerated storage areas
" Over-heated areas such as incubation rooms
" High-humidity environments
" Confined, unventilated space such as a storage closet
" Wherever chemical dust, fumes, or corrosives materi-

Wall mounting your dock involves a suitable structure to
hold the weight of one or several docking units. Wall mounting kits are available that contain the brackets and hardware necessary for this purpose. This instruction booklet
contains the instructions for mounting single and multidocks.
6100 Series Dock Installation Instructions 2-1
Page 28
Electrical Requirements
The single and multidocks contain a power supply that uses
the alternating current (ac) power from your outlets. The
docks come with a six foot universal power cord and therefore must be located within that distance of an outlet. The
outlets must be grounded (three-prong) and with sufficient
capacity to carry the load for the number of docks and other
electrical devices per circuit breaker.
If you are uploading and downloading data with the host
computer you will need to have data jacks close by. You will
also need to have communication cables for connecting the
docks to the jacks. The connectors are identified in this
booklet but cables are not provided in the installation kit.
Your salesperson will help you with ordering the necessary
cables.

Dock Installation
The single dock is small and fairly lightweight, you can attach the dock to the brackets first, and then install the complete assembly to the wall. Or, you can install the mounting
brackets on the wall before attaching the single dock.
Installing the mounting brackets first is the preferred
method and therefore the instructions for that follow.
Mounting Structure
You can install the docks on most structures made of wood,
concrete, or cinder block. Use anchors that will support the
weight and are designed for the type of wall you will be using.
Some anchor selection guidelines are for:
" Concrete structures use metal expansion anchors.
Plastic anchors or dowels will not hold.
" Cinder block walls use 1/4 inch or larger toggle bolts
into the hollow portions of the blocks. Expansion anchors or dowels pull loose over time.

Installation
On framed walls, it is preferable to drive lag screws directly
into studs whenever possible. If this is not possible, it may
be necessary to install scab studs or plywood (5/8 inch
thickness or greater) reinforcement.
1. Position one mounting bracket at a suitable height
and use 1/4 inch or larger hardware (lagscrew or concrete fastener) to secure one mounting bracket to the
wall.
2. Use three fasteners in each bracket.
3. Install the second bracket level with the first, and 24
to 34 inches from it.
"
NOTE: When installing several multidocks across a wall, be sure to allow
clearance between them for the power cables.

Dock Preparation
The instructions contained in this section show graphics
using a single dock. The instructions for preparing the multidock are the same.
1. Position the dock so it is centered on the mounting
brackets.
2. Use the inside edge of the mounting bracket as a guide
and make a pencil line on the bottom of each end of
the dock going from the front to the back.
3. Lay the dock on its side so the bottom of the dock is
towards you.
4. Tilt the clips and slide into the channels on the dock.
5. Press the clips flush against the bottom of the dock.
6. Align the edge of each clip with the pencil mark you
made earlier.

NOTE: You might find it easier on the wall mounted docks, to assemble the
dock to the brackets first (with the dock upside down) then mount the
assembly to the wall (into predrilled holes).
9. With the dock facing forward, align the mounting
clip’s studs into the center hole at each mounting location and lower the dock onto the brackets.
"
NOTE: To show the mounting clips and their placement location into the
mounting bracket, Figure 2-6 shows them not attached to the underside of the dock. They would normally be attached before placing the
dock on the mounting bracket.
10. Install the lock washers and nuts and tighten. Tighten
these snugly so as not to strip the threads but enough
to keep the dock from loosening.

Introduction
This section provides detailed instructions for mounting the
vehicle dock in many types of vehicles. Optional cables are
available to mount the dock and a printer nearby in the
same vehicle. During this installation the power cable is
wired directly to the vehicle battery or bank of batteries.
When the installation is complete, you will have a secure
place to store the computer. In addition, the vehicle electrical system provides power to recharge the batteries and to
operate a printer (if one is installed).
"
NOTE: Intermec Corporation is not responsible for loss or damage to the hand-
held computers, printers, or docks resulting from improper installation.
"
NOTE: Mounting bracket and bracket installation hardware are not provided in
this kit, but can be purchased separately through your sales team
B
CAUTION: If the overall vehicle voltage exceeds 24 volts, you must tap into
the bank of batteries at a point that is 24 volts or less. If you are
using anything greater than 24 volts you must also use a dc--dc
converter.
6100 Series Dock Installation Instructions 3-1

Installation Guidelines
Since each situation or equipment type may pose unique
requirements, mounting hardware selection and mechanical installation of the vehicle dock shall be the responsibility of the installer.
" The vehicle dock and associated electrical wiring
should be installed under the supervision of properly
trained and qualified personnel. Follow these installation instructions closely to ensure safe, reliable performance for your equipment.
" We can provide installation service, please contact
your sales team to work out the detail for the installation plan.
" We recommend using 3/8-inch terminal rings for con-
necting the electrical cable directly to the vehicle battery.
" The vehicle dock mounting location must not restrict
the drivers view. Mount the dock and cables away
from the brake pedal, accelerator, steering wheel,
emergency brake, gear shift, and any other area that
interferes with safe operation of the vehicle.
" A waterproof in-line fuse holder must be installed onto
the end of the gray vehicle power cable. This gets
installed onto the red wire of the power cable and the
positive battery terminal.
SECTION 3Vehicle Dock Installation
The installation kit contains nuts, bolts, washers, a terminal ring, and a fuse link for connecting the battery cable
directly to the vehicle battery. It also contains adjustable
wire clamps to secure the cable in place.
Your tasks are to:
" Route and install the gray battery power cable (part
number: 206-953-009) to the vehicle battery terminals
" Install the mounting hardware and vehicle dock
3-2 6100 Series Dock Installation Instructions
Page 37
SECTION 3 Vehicle Dock Installation
" Connect the black dock power cable (part number:
206-951-001) to the vehicle dock and the battery power
cable. Depending on your installation, this may simply
involve connecting the keyed connector, or it may involve cutting the connector off and wiring directly to
the fuse block.
Installation Tools Required
" Wire crimping and stripping tool
" An electric drill, #26 drill bit
" Common hand tools (3/8” wrench, flat blade

Vehicle Preparation
Vehicle Electrical Considerations
The vehicle’s electrical system must be in excellent condition. This means the charging circuit must work properly
and that vehicle-generated electrical “noise” must be minimized and within specifications (SAE J113).
B
CAUTION: The vehicle charging circuit must neither undercharge nor
overcharge the vehicle battery. Either fault condition in the
vehicle electrical system can cause a no-charge condition in the
terminal battery (and in the printer battery if one is installed in
the vehicle).
Excess electrical noise can be severe enough to defeat the
electrical filtering that is built into your equipment. Defective ignition wiring, damaged insulation, or a faulty vehicle
electrical component can cause electrical noise. When this
happens, computers and other equipment can behave unpredictably.

Installing the Cables
Use cable clamps or wire-ties at least every 18 inches when
installing cables on a vehicle. This eliminates loose or sagging cables, guarding against breakage and ensuring that
they do not pose a hazard to the vehicle operator or to other
workers.
These instructions detail how to route the cable, install the
in-line fuse and make the battery connection onto a side
terminal post or top terminal post type battery.
Decide the mounting location for the vehicle dock and the
cables. When you are certain your arrangement works and
that cables will reach from the batteries to the power converter to the dock, proceed with the instructions below.
1. Completely install the vehicle battery (gray) cable that
connects to the vehicle battery before connecting onto
the vehicle dock power (black) cable.
2. Route the cable from the vehicle battery toward the
general area where the vehicle dock will be mounted.
3. Cut the battery power cable near the battery to eliminate the need for coiling excess cable.
"
NOTE: Do not cut the cable too short to reach the battery terminals.

Installing Your Vehicle Dock With Other
Equipment
There are many options that your installation might call
for. This is another good reason to rely on your installation
team as they are prepared to handle a wide variety of
installations. For instance, you may be installing the vehicle dock with an additional in cab radio or satellite tracking device in which case you will need to modify the black
dock cable part number 206-951-001 to connect into a vehicle fuse block that the installation team would install.
If this is the case you could install the cable designed to
connect to the fuse block (part number: 226-109-001). Or
you could cut off the white connector from the end of the
black dock cable and wire the dock power cable to the fuse
block. See Figure 3-6 to identify the positive and negative
wires.
