Installation Instruction for MT3430 RAM Mounting Kit
WARNING: Failure to install the mount correctly or modifications to the mount may result in serious
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 mount. Use of this
mount in vehicles driven on public roads or highways is prohibited. Contact Psion Teklogix for further
details.
Before mounting an 8530 in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that require careful
attention. An improperly mounted 8530 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 8530 use only approved Psion Teklogix mounting hardware and mounting parts which
are specific to the 8530 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 8530 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.
The following restrictions must be strictly enforced:
• Do not use the mount and/or the 8530 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 8530. 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 3 below and tighten to the appropriate setting.

1. Preparation
This articulating mount can be installed in a wide variety of orientations (See Figure 1) with both the display and
keyboard. 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: Before installing this mounting system, the adaptor brackets in MT3210 should be installed
(see Figure 5 on page 4 of this document).
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 8525/30 user manual (Under “Mounting Accessories”) when selecting
a mounting location - you must provide operator access at the top, bottom & sides.
Note: Legacy products such as 8050, 8055, 8255, 8060, and 8260 are compatible with this heavy duty
mounting system.
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).
