CHAPTER 1 APPROVALS AND BASIC
SAFETY GUIDELINES
APPROVALS AND BASIC SAFETY GUIDELINES 1
Always Install, Operate, and Maintain the Unit Properly
The 8585 was designed and built according to modern technology and accepted safety regulations. However,
the operation of the 8585 can endanger personnel or third parties and cause damage to the device and other
material assets, when for example the device is:
• Installed incorrectly or improperly.
• Operated by untrained or uninstructed personnel.
• Improperly operated and maintained.
• Not used as intended.
The operator commitments in regards to safety (accident prevention regulations, work protection) are to
be followed.
Safety
In order to prevent injury and damage, please read and observe the following safety guidelines prior to
assembly and commissioning. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any and all damages that can be
attributed to non-compliance with these guidelines.
Intended Usage
The 8585 is a multifunction terminal for stationary and mobile use in commercial applications (for example
logistics, storage, manufacturing). Different or extraordinary usage is not permitted.
For resulting damage, the user/operator of the 8585 is solely responsible.
This also applies to any changes you make to the device.
Compliance with the contents of the safety guidelines is particularly important for the proper use of this device.
1 - 2 8585/8595 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Guide
Initial Operation of the Device
Area of Application: Not for use in life-support systems or critical safety systems
The device is not designed for use in life-support systems or critical safety systems where system malfunction
can lead to the direct or indirect endangerment of human life. The operator shall take full responsibility for
using the device in these situations.
The device cannot be used in combination with safety functions for machines and equipment which have to
conform to the requirements of EN 954-1.
Installation/Initial Operation
Installation of the 8585 on a vehicle must be performed in accordance with Chapter 3: Installing the Computer.
Specifically, special attention must be paid to the various electrical potentials of the vehicle. Some vehicles
have a chassis that is connected to one of the battery supply lines (DC+ or DC-), while most electrically-driven
forklift vehicles have floating chassis, connected to neither DC+ or DC-. Refer to Vehicle Applications (such as
forklifts) on page 3-2 for required wiring of vehicle power and fusing for the 8585.
Risk of injury during transit or installation
The unit could fall during transit or installation and cause injury. Always ensure that there are two persons
available when installing or removing the device.
Choice of Location: Observe the Protection Class
The ambient conditions at the point of installation must comply with the device's protection class.
Supply of Fresh Air: Avoid overheating the unit
The 8585 is based on a passive cooling concept. As a result, the waste heat which is produced inside the
device is emitted over the surface of the housing. For this system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required. Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to dissipate
accumulated heat to the outside.
If the 8585 is not able to draw in fresh cooling air, this may cause overheating and severe damage to the unit.
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for the system needs to be taken into account for the concrete
application area.
Install an easily accessible disconnecting device
The device is not supplied with a disconnector (switch) that can be accessed externally. The power supply
connector is therefore used as a disconnector. Therefore it needs to be easily accessible.
If it is necessary to establish a fixed connection, an easily accessible disconnecting device (e.g. a switch such
as a circuit breaker) should be installed close to the device. Ensure that the power cable is laid so that it is
mechanically protected.
Laying Power Supply Cables: Observe the local installation regulations
The power supply cables must be laid in accordance with the applicable local installation regulations.
Ensure that no persons are injured in case the mounting bracket breaks
The 8585 may in no case be installed in such a way that persons can be injured during a breaking of the
mounting bracket (e.g. fatigue break).
If the device is mounted in a place where people can be injured if the bracket should break, appropriate safety
measures must be put in place (e.g. install a security cable in addition to the device bracket).
Radio Performance: Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power
Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power which is specified by each separate country. 8585
users must verify this themselves.
Power Supply
The mains power cord shall comply with the national safety regulations of the country where the equipment is
to be used.
Operation in an Emergency: Immediately disconnect the device from the power supply
In case of emergency (such as damage to the power cable, or housing, or ingress of liquid or other foreign
bodies), the device must be disconnected immediately from the power supply. Contact technical support staff
at once.
Protection of the power supplies
If, after replacement, the fuse fed by the internal power supply blows again, the device must be sent in for
servicing immediately.
Danger of electrocution when cleaning/servicing the device
Approvals and Basic Safety Guidelines 1 - 3
In order to avoid electrocution always disconnect the 8585 from the power supply before cleaning or servicing
the device.
When charging the vehicle battery please note:
While charging the vehicle battery the 8585 has to be either disconnected from the battery or it has to be deter-
mined that the maximum allowed input voltage of the 8585 is not exceeded.
Do not switch on devices with damaged cables or plugs
Do not use the 8585 when a cable or plug is damaged. Have the damaged parts replaced immediately!
Do not connect or disconnect any cables during storms
Cables must never be connected or disconnected during an electrical storm.
External Devices
The use of additional wiring and other peripheral devices, which are not recommended or sold by the manufac-
turer can result in fire, electrocution or personal injury.
If a power supply is used, only use the power supply recommended by the manufacturer.
Before connecting or disconnecting peripheral devices (exception: USB devices), the 8585 must be discon-
nected from the power supply! Otherwise, this could seriously damage both the 8585 and the
connected devices!
Make sure that external peripheral devices with their own power supply are switched on at the same time or
after you start the 8585.
If this is not possible, please ensure that the 8585 is adequately protected from power leakage caused by an
external device.
Ensure that the power and grounding of any external peripheral devices to be connected to the 8585 are
consistent with the power and grounding of the 8585.

Protecting the TFT Display from the Memory Effect
The TFT display of the 8585 has to be protected from the burning in of a motionless image. An image that has
remained motionless for too long can cause irreversible damage to the display. With TFT displays there no
cathode rays burning in an after-image as in old TV sets or monitors, but TFT displays still have a memory
effect. This is because with a still image the liquid crystal molecules align themselves in a certain way and
become inert if they are not moved. Like burning in the effect is irreversible, but can be avoided by regularly
turning off the display or by using a screen saver with changing content.
Define in the power management centre of the utilized operating system that the displays of the 8585 should
be turned off when no user input occurs.
A motionless image can stay on the display for a maximum of 12 hours. After more than 12 hours there is the
risk of the memory effect.

WARNING! The unit could fall during transit or installation/mounting and cause injury. Always
ensure that there are two people available when installing or removing the device.
Follow and Retain the Mounting Instructions
Please follow the mounting instructions included with assembly kit when installing your 8585. Please make
sure that you retain the instructions.
Pay careful attention to Chapter 1: Approvals and Basic Safety Guidelines.
Mechanical Dynamic Loading
Since the 8585 is a weighted structure, it is invariable that the unit will be subject to mechanical dynamic
effects. Therefore optimizing the mounting is necessary.
Cooling Through the Supply of Fresh Air
The 8585 employs a passive cooling concept whereby the waste heat generated inside the device is emitted
from the surface of the housing. For this system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required.
Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable to dissipate
accumulated heat to the outside.
Caution:
Property
Damage
If the 8585 does not have access to fresh cooling air, it may result in overheating and
severe damage to the unit. The maximum permissible ambient temperature for the entire
system needs to be taken into account for the concrete application area.
Power Supply
The 8585 is equipped with a galvanically separated, integrated DC power supply.
Power is connected to the underside of the unit using a Phoenix Contact plug. There is no
power switch.
Caution:
Property
Damage
The 8585 must only be connected to a SELV circuit.*Ensure that there is a suitable disconnecting device such as a power switch or circuit breaker in the power supply circuit.
Ensure that the disconnecting device isolates all supply voltage lines.The DC+ connecting cable must be protected by a fuse (30 AT max.). The ignition connecting cable must
be protected by a fuse of the following type: 5x20 mm T 125 mA L / 250 V , for example, a
Wickmann 195-125 mA / 250 V.
* The SELV circuit is a secondary circuit that is designed and protected so that its voltages will
not exceed a safe value both when operating correctly or if a single error occurs.
WARNING! Use the connecting cables supplied by Zebra to connect the 8585 to the
power supply.
Make sure that the connecting cables are laid without kinks and are
protected.
Vehicle Applications (such as forklifts)
Electrical Installation
Pay special attention to the various electrical potentials when installing the unit on a vehicle
(such as a forklift).
In the 8585, the logic ground and the shield ground are firmly linked.
The “logic ground” is the earth line (GND) for all of the internal electrical components, such as
the display and the CPU.
The cable shielding and the housing are connected to the “shield ground”.
Installing the Computer 3 - 3
Ground bolt
Caution:
Property
Damage
Figure 3-1
WARNING! PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS!
Some forklifts have a chassis that is connected to DC+. Therefore, the 8585
chassis is also connected to DC+. However, if you use peripheral devices that
supply DC– to the 8585 via an interconnector (such as a DC– serial port), this will
cause a short circuit. This will inevitably lead to malfunctions or even a total
system failure.
Always attach the ring tongue on the white supply voltage cable to the ground
bolt situated on the connector bay.
Most electrically-driven forklift vehicles have floating chassis, connected to
neither DC+ or DC-. However, electrical faults can cause the battery + or - to be
connected to the chassis via low resistance paths. All connected peripherals
must be completely isolated.
Position of the ground bolt
WARNING! Individual vehicle requirements and any installed supplementary electronic systems
on the vehicles must be reviewed to ensure 8585/8595 grounding is compatible follow vehicle manufacturers recommendations.
• The other end of the white supply voltage cable should be connected to the vehicle's chassis.
• Make sure that the 8585's connecting cable is attached as close to the battery as possible. Connecting the
8585 to large electrical loads, such as converters for the forklift motor may result in random restarts, malfunctions and/or irreparable damage to the device.
• If you want to connect devices fed by other power sources to the 8585, such as printers and so on, be sure
to power up the peripheral devices at the same time or after the 8585. Otherwise, you may encounter
start-up problems, malfunctions or even irreparable damage to the device.
Wiring Vehicle Power to the 8585/8595
WARNING! Applying a voltage above the input voltage rating or reversing polarity may result in
permanent damage to the 8585/8595 and will void the product warranty.
A 1.8 meter (6 ft.) extension power cable (PN 13985–301) is available which should be used to wire the
8585/8595 to the truck battery. This cable needs to be ordered separately. This cable should be wired to a
filtered, fused (maximum 10A) accessory supply on the vehicle. On negative chassis vehicles, the positive lead
3 - 4 8585/8595 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Guide
should be fused. On positive chassis vehicles, the negative lead should be fused. On floating chassis vehicles,
the positive and negative leads must be fused. Any additional wiring (minimum 18 gauge), connectors or
disconnects used should be rated for at least 90 VDC, 10 A.
When connecting PN 13985-301, ensure that the screen blanking wires (clearly labelled) and the power wires
(red/black leads) are reliably secured away from each other, or are separated with reliably secured certified
insulation. Minimum 2.8 mm distance, or 0.4mm distance through insulation is required for the separation.
The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the negative supply – this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. The external wire
of the power adapter cable is connected to the ground lug of the 8585/8595 terminal connector bay and to the
vehicle chassis.
You have the option of connecting power before or after the key switch. The 8585/8595 should not be shut off
by simply removing the power. If it is wired after the key switch, the operator must shut down the 8585/8595
using the Windows shutdown procedure before turning off the vehicle. If it is wired before the key switch, then
to avoid excessive drain on the vehicle battery, either the operator should shut it down when the vehicle is to be
left off for an extended period, or the ignition cable shutdown wire should be connected and the 8585/8595
configured to shutdown automatically.
If an unfused power source must be used, a fuse assembly (PN 19440-300) and diode/choke assembly
(PN 30723-301A) must be added to the extension power cable (the fuse, diode/choke and instructions are
supplied with the cable). Use only a 10A slow blow UL approved fuse in the fuse assembly. The fuse assembly
must be located as close as practical to the DC supply, and shall connect to either the positive, or negative side
of the DC supply, depending on the chassis grounding scheme. For floating chassis vehicles, an additional 10
A slow blow UL approved fuse (fuse assembly PN 19440-300) should be installed on both power supply lines.
To safely wire power to the 8585/8595, review these guidelines and follow the instructions that apply to your
needs:
• When connecting the cable (PN 13985-301) to the screen blanking cable (PN 1616303-001), the wire pair
on the 13985-301 labelled “screen blanking” connect to the screen blanking control device, which must
provide an isolated relay closure across the pair.
• When connecting the cable (PN 13985-301) to the ignition cable (PN 1616302-001), the wire pair labelled
“screen blanking” on the 13985-301 has a different function; the red wire must connect to a DC+ voltage
source switched on by the ignition, while the black wire may connect to DC- or be taped off.
• Note that only the ignition function is supported by the UPS (models PS1110/PS1120), not the
screen blanking. If both screen blanking and ignition are to be used on the same 8585/8595, contact Zebra
for details.
Position of the 8585 in the Vehicle
In the vehicle, the driver's field of view must be kept free.

Please note that you have to configure the scanner correctly to RS-232 and the above set BAUD rate
following the scanner manufacturer's guidelines. Otherwise the software wedge will not function
properly.
Tips and Tricks
Note that according to the EIA-232-E specification, the maximum cable length is 15 m at 19,200 bps.
By using a correctly terminated twisted-pair cable, however, up to 1,200 m at 100 kbps can be achieved
according to the EIA-422-A specification. With a data rate of 1 Mbps and a high-quality cable, it is possible to
reach cable lengths of up to approximately 400 m.
Malfunctions in the RS-232 connections are frequently caused by ground loops. If both end devices establish a
ground connection via RS-232 but do not share the same ground potential in their power supply circuits, then
compensation currents may result. This is particularly noticeable with long cables.
These compensation currents, which are also present at the ground point of the RS-232 connection, may
significantly degrade signal quality and effectively stop the data flow. In challenging environments, electrically-isolated connections (via external converters) or differential systems (RS-422/485 port) are strongly
recommended.
Internal Devices
Chipset
The 8585 computer is equipped with a chipset which controls the communication between all
function modules.
The chipset converts the signals it receives from the CPU into memory access, flash access and other similar
actions. Likewise, it transmits requests from peripheral devices to the CPU. Input devices such as the mouse
or keyboard also communicate with the system via this chipset.
VGA Adaptor
The 8585 is equipped with a VGA-compatible adaptor. This adaptor controls the integrated display.
Onboard Sound Controller
The 8585 is equipped with an onboard sound controller.
This controls the audio output via the internal speaker, or the optional Speaker/Mic with push-to-talk function
(Model Number M1000).
Network Adaptor (10/100/1000)
The 8585 is equipped with a 10/100 Mbit network adaptor. This adaptor features an RJ45 port.
The network controller undertakes the entire task of connecting the hardware to the network.
The RJ45 connection port features two integrated status LEDs. They display the following messages:
Operation 4 - 7
Left LED (Green)
LED off: operating as
LED on: operating as a
Right LED (Amber)
100- Mbps connection
10-Mbps connection
LED off: no link is established

Problems with Data Transmission via LAN/Ethernet
If problems occur during data transmission over LAN/Ethernet (e.g. data is lost or not detected), the cause of
these problems may be a cable which is too long.
Depending on the cable layout and interference from the environment, it may be impossible to use the cable
length of 100 m given in the specification (IEEE 802.3 standard).
The solution here is the use of a shorter cable.
Automatic Switch-off
The 8585 is equipped with an automatic switch-off module.
Modes of Operation
If wired up accordingly, the 8585 conveniently switches off together with the vehicle's ignition.
As disconnecting the power supply during operation can lead to data loss, the operating system needs to be
shut down normally using the appropriate hardware and software installed on the system when the ignition is
switched off.
The 8585 is connected to the vehicle with three supply cables. DC+ and DC– are directly connected to the
power supply of the vehicle, the connection is run through fuses. Therefore make sure that the cables are
connected directly to the battery and not to high-interference supply lines (for example, motor supply) or to
supply lines already used by other consumers.
The supply voltage connected is then linked to the 8585's ignition input via a switch, for example, the key
switch of the ignition (also with a fuse).
Automatic Switch-off Process
When the ignition is switched on, the 8585 is supplied with power and begins checking its internal temperature
and automatic switch-off function.
Once the ambient conditions have been verified as acceptable, the 8585 starts the operating system just like
normal.
During the first three minutes of the start-up phase, none of the ambient conditions, such as the internal
temperature or the Ignition input status, are checked. This allows the operating system and the operating soft-
ware for the automatic switch-off module to fully load without interruption.
Following this three-minute period, the internal temperature of the unit and the status of the Ignition input are
checked continuously.
If the inner temperature of the 8585 reaches a critical range, the operating system is shut down normally and
the computer remains switched off until the temperature is back in the permitted range.
If the Ignition input is switched to earth potential or a potential-free source during normal operation, the unit
switches to shutdown delay time.
4 - 8 8585/8595 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Guide
In this state, the device continues to operate normally until the delay time (for example, 15 minutes) has
elapsed.
• If the ignition is triggered again during this time, the 8585 resumes normal operation.
• If, however, the delay time elapses, the operating system is shut down normally by the operating software
and the unit is automatically switched off (for example, after three minutes, or after a signal from the operating software).
Configuration with Zebra Config Program
The Zebra Config program must be installed for the automatic switch-off module to function correctly.
If the Zebra Config has not been started, the 8585 will carry out a hard shutdown once the delay time and shut-
down time set by the hardware (e.g. via MPCCOM.EXE) has elapsed. In this case, the operating system is not
shut down normally before the power is switched off. The current application is unable to save its data, and the
file system becomes increasingly unstable and inconsistent.
If the Zebra Config has been started, the program can recognize when the operating system needs to be shut
down. Firstly, the Windows message WM_QUERYENDSESSION is sent to all running applications to inform
them of the impending shutdown.
Now every application has to respond within the time that is set in the registry (see the Automatic Switch-off
Configuration Dialog on page A-6). If a response is not sent in the specified time, the application is forced
to quit.
If there are any open programs with unsaved changes, it may not be possible to automatically quit them (for
example, an unsaved document in WORDPAD.EXE, a program supplied with Windows). In this case
WORDPAD.EXE responds to the Windows message WM_QUERYENDSESSION with a user query to confirm
if the current file is to be saved. Applications that can be quit with the key combination [ALT] and [F4] (that is,
without a final user query) generally send the required response to the WM_QUERYENDSESSION message
and are not shutdown “hard”.
To ensure that vital data is always saved correctly, applications need to be able to properly respond to the
WM_QUERYENDSESSION message, that is, without user queries and within the set time period.
Further information on the Zebra Config program can be found in Appendix A: Zebra Config Program.

If you do not want the computer to shut down immediately after
switching it off using the ignition or power key, but rather it should
remain on for a time, then enter an after-run time (in seconds) here.
Shutdown times
The length of time until shutdown consists of two counters:
1. After-run time
The after-run time begins with the switching off of the ignition. The shutdown counter is displayed on the monitor (according to the settings). In
this countdown the after-run time is counted downwards. If the after-run
time has elapsed, a message for the shutdown will be displayed in the
Shutdown dialog.
During this time, the computer can be returned to normal operating
status with the ignition.
2. Timeout to terminate programs
Next, all applications are informed that Windows will shutdown.
After this, the timeout begins counting down — but a counter is no
longer displayed in the Shutdown dialog.

Signal Strength and Quality
Parameter Description
S = Signal strength This value provides information about the strength of the signal received
by the computer.
The signal strength can be displayed as a dBm value, in percentages, or
as a diagram, depending on the configuration selected in the WLAN
dialog.
Q = Quality This value provides information about the quality of the signal received by
the computer.
The quality can be displayed as a dB value, as a percentage, or as a
diagram, depending on the configuration selected in the WLAN dialog.
Host name The host name is displayed according to the setting in the WLAN menu.
IP address The IP address of the 8585 is displayed according to the setting in the
WLAN menu.
Basic Legend for Signal Strength
Signal strength alone says nothing about the quality of the signal. The quality depends on the ratio of signal to
noise (SNR = Signal/Noise Ratio = RSSI, Radio Signal Strength Indicator).
The following values are a good rule of thumb:
• Signal strengths less than -70 dBm are good.
• Quality between 10 and 20 dB is good.
IMPORTANT These values are only approximate and depend on many factors (different sensitivity of
receivers, data bandwidth, etc.)

Write WLAN Log File
To optimize the WLAN network, or e.g. to analyse errors in roaming, a WLAN log file can be generated using
the Zebra Config program.
1. For this, edit the Config_local.cfg file in the Zebra directory of the 8585 (e.g. with Notepad).
2. The entry
“Debug_Logging=0”entry is located by default in section CfgWLANStatus
0 means: no log file will be generated.
1 means: a log file will be generated and written to the Zebra directory. Filename of the log file:
WLAN_DebugLog.txt.
3. Restart the computer to activate the setting and generate the log file.
Caution:
Property
Damage
Only generate WLAN log files temporarily for analysis purposes. Afterwards make sure to set the
‘Debug_Logging’ entry to ‘0’.
Otherwise system errors are a threat, since if the EWF is deactivated storage media will be filled with
log files (size of a WLAN log file: up to 50 MB. When this size is reached, the Zebra Config automatically creates BAK files, which are sequentially numbered.)
