Installation Instruction for MT33XX RAM Mounting Kit

WARNING:

injury or damage to property. Contact Psion Teklogix Technical Support or your Psion Teklogix
representative if you have problems installing this mount. To ensure operator safety, you must use a
calibrated torque wrench and the supplied mounting hardware when fastening the cradle and mount. Use of
this mount in vehicles driven on public roads or highways is prohibited. Contact Psion Teklogix for further
details.

Before mounting an 8515 in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that require
careful attention. An improperly mounted 8515 may result in one or more of the following:
operator injury, property damage, operator visibility obstruction, operator distraction and/or poor
ease of egress for the operator. Psion Teklogix strongly recommends that you seek professional
mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.

When mounting an 8515 use only approved Psion Teklogix mounting hardware and mounting
parts which are specific to the 8515 model purchased. Use of non-approved parts may result in
one or more of the following: operator injury, property damage, operator visibility obstruction,
operator distraction and/or poor ease of egress for the operator.

If it is necessary to mount the 8515 overhead or in any position that could cause injury to the
operator should the unit fall, it is critical that a secondary tether or other failsafe device be
installed.

Failure to install the mount correctly or modifications to the mount may result in serious

The following restrictions must be strictly enforced:

• Do not use the mount and/or the 8515 as a hand-hold. Using the mount in this manner

may cause the person to fall or dislodge the mounting hardware and/or mounts.

• Do not add weight or attach any other items to the mount or 8515. Additional elements

may fall causing injury or may increase chance of failure and/or damage in mounting
hardware and/or mounts.

Mounts used in industrial or vibration generating environments may be subjected to fatigue, stress
and/or part wear. A periodic inspection of the mounting hardware and mounts should be
performed to ensure parts are retightened to the correct torque, free of fractures, excessive wear
and/or other environmental damage. Any parts found to be unsafe should be removed and
replaced immediately. After inspection or replacement of parts readjust the mount as outlined in
step 4 below and tighten with approved tightening tool (part number 9000594).

1. Preparation

This articulating mount can be installed in a variety of
orientations (See Figure 7). Select the best orientation for
your specific application. Preferred orientations maintain
the centre of mass of the vehicle mount assembly directly
over the centre of the base (See Figure 1).

Note the tilt & rotation of the cradle can be easily adjusted by the
operator. Ensure that if the handscrew is loosened and the cradle slips,
the operator & any equipment cannot be damaged by it. Also note that
under extreme vibration the mount may slowly 'settle', requiring
readjustment and tightening of the handscrew. Psion Teklogix offers a
tightening tool (part number 9000594) which can be used to minimize
settling. (See Figure 2)

The mounting platform must be of sufficient strength to support 25 kg. Never attach this mount to a plastic
dash or a wooden platform without the appropriate backing plate and bracing. Review the clearance
requirements listed in the 8515 user manual (Under “Mounting Accessories”) when selecting a mounting
location - you must provide operator access at the top, bottom & sides.
