Introduction
The PSS-3CR01 Charging cradle is used to charge the MC17 mobile computer.
There are two configurations available: The PSS-3C01-01R contains a locking
mechanism that locks the mobile computer in the cradle and the PSS-3C01-NLR
that does not contain the locking mechanism.
Mounting the Cradle
The cradle contains mounting holes in the back housing so that it can be secured
to supporting furniture. In addition, it come with plugs and a variety of cable
routing outlets. Cable outlets not used can be concealed with the plugs provided.
Refer to the Product Reference Guide for information required to design correct
mounting holes for the charge cradle.
Wiring
NOTE During installation
1. Install power supply, including AC
line cord and power cable, into
Decorative Housing.
2. Insert power cable through a cable
outlet of cradle back housing.
3. Plug connector into power
connector on printed circuit board.
4. If more than one cradle, connect the
interconnect cable from the first
cradle to the second cradle.
5. Use plugs to cover un-used cable
outlets.
There are some general limitations that
must be taken into account when
designing a system:
ensure all interconnect
cables are fully
enclosed within the
power supply or cradle
enclosure.
