Installation Guide 3

Introduction

This guide describes how to install and use a USB I/O Hub
with a vehicle cradle.

Install the USB I/O Hub into a vehicle. Once installed, the
USB I/O Hub:

• provides power to a vehicle cradle

• provides USB hub for three USB devices (such as
printers)

• provides a powered USB port for charging another device.

The USB I/O Hub is powered by the vehicle’s 12V or 24V
electrical system. The operating voltage range is 9V to 32V
and supplies a maximum current of 3A to the vehicle cradle
and 1.5 A to the four USB ports simultaneously.

Requirements

For mounting on a flat surface:

• four M3 screws (included)

• four wall anchors (not included).

®

For mounting onto a RAM Mount

• RAM Mount (sold separately)

• Four M4 screws, lock washers and flat washers
(included).

For CLA power connection:

• CLA (not included), p/n CHG-AUTO-CLA1-01

For hard-wired power connection:

• power input cable (included), p/n CHG-AUTO-HWIRE1-01

• UL Listed in-line fuse rated 250V, 5A (included), must be
used if not connecting to vehicle’s fuse panel

• in-line fuse holder (included), must be used if not
connecting to vehicle’s fuse panel.

Mounting the USB I/O Hub to a
Flat Surface

CAUTION Only mount the USB I/O Hub in a

vertical position. Never mount the USB
I/O Hub on the side or upside down or
on a wall that can be subject to impact
or collision of greater than 10Gs, in
accordance with SAE J1455 Section

4.10.3.5.

1. Select a mounting location for the cradle. It should be flat,

and must provide adequate support for the USB I/O Hub.

2. Prepare the mounting surface, using the mounting

template below, with wall anchors that support the weight
of the USB I/O Hub. The anchors should accept four M3
screws.

3. Position the mounting plate on the mounting surface.

4. Fasten the mounting plate using four M3 screws

(provided).

CAUTION Do not install the USB I/O Hub on or

near an air bag cover plate or within an
aerobic zone. Also, do not install it in a
location that affects vehicle safety or
driveability.

Mounting the Cradle to a RAM
Mount

To mount the USB I/O Hub onto a RAM Mount:

CAUTION Only mount the USB I/O Hub in a

vertical position. Never mount the USB
I/O Hub on the side or upside down or
on a wall that can be subject to impact
or collision of greater than 10Gs, in
accordance with SAE J1455 Section

4.10.3.5.

Installation Guide 7

1. Follow the instructions that are provided with the RAM

Mount for RAM Mount mounting instructions.

2. Align the mounting plate with the RAM Mount ball base.

3. Secure the mounting plate to the ball base using M4

screws, lock washers and flat washers (provided).

CAUTION Do not install the USB I/O Hub on or

near an air bag cover plate or within an
aerobic zone. Also, do not install it in a
location that affects vehicle safety or
driveability.

4. Secure the RAM Mount to the vehicle depending upon the

type of RAM Mount. See instructions provided with RAM
Mount.

5. Adjust RAM Mount according to RAM Mount instructions.

CLA Power Connection

To connect the Cigarette Lighter Adapter (CLA) to the USB
I/O Hub:

1. Ensure that the connector collar is installed on the

connector.

2. Connect the CLA power output connector to the Power

Input Connector on the USB I/O Hub.

Hard-Wired Power Connection

Please read all of these instructions before beginning.

WARNING! A properly trained technician must

perform the power connection.
Improper connection can damage your
USB I/O Hub or mobile computer.
Refer to the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual
for instructions for removing power.

To connect the cradle to power:

CAUTION When setting up connection for this

USB I/O Hub, only use the power input
cable provided with this USB I/O Hub.

Installation Guide 9

1. Locate the vehicle power source.

NOTE The ideal location for connecting the USB

I/O Hub power input cable would be an
accessory output in your vehicle’s fuse
panel. The USB I/O Hub should be added to
a circuit with a maximum load capacity for
the USB I/O Hub and the original circuit.
Refer to the vehicle’s Owner’s Manual for
identification of the circuit.
If a fused output is not available, the USB
I/O Hub must be installed with the provided
in-line fuse holder and UL Listed 5A fuse.
The fuse protects the vehicle from an
electrical short on the power line to the USB
I/O Hub.
To use the USB I/O Hub to charge the
device, when the vehicle’s ignition is off,
connect the USB I/O Hub to unswitched
power.

2. Route the power input cable from the USB I/O Hub’s

power port to the connection point for the vehicle’s power
source.

NOTE The means of routing and securing the

power input cable from the USB I/O Hub
through to the vehicle power source is
extremely important. Hazards associated
with improper wiring can be severe. To
avoid unintentional contact between the
wire and any sharp edges, provide the
cable with proper bushings and clamping
where it passes through openings. If the
wire is subjected to sharp surfaces and
excess engine vibration, the wiring harness
insulation can wear away, causing a short
between the bare wire and chassis. This
can start a fire. To avoid any mishaps, all
wiring should be routed away from moving
parts, high temperature areas and any
contaminants.

3. When using the supplied in-line fuse holder (which must

be used if not connecting to vehicle’s fuse panel):

a. Ensure the fuse holder contains a 5A UL Listed

slow-blow fuse.

b. Splice the fuse holder to the end of the red V+ wire, as

shown below. Make the distance from the fuse to the
power connection point as short as possible.

4. Prepare the cable termination.
a. Red wire: connect to a +12/24 V vehicle power source.
b. Black wire and Shield wire: connect to vehicle ground

wire or chassis ground.

Installation Guide 11

NOTE How the cable terminates depends on the

vehicle. If the vehicle has a power output
connector, then you must attach a mating
connector to the end of the power cable.
You may be able to connect to a fuse panel
with a simple blade terminal or
commercially available connector. Consult
the vehicle Owner’s Manual for information
on how to access the power supply in the
vehicle.

5. Ensure that the connector collar is installed on the

connector.

6. Connect the power connector to the power Input

Connector on the USB I/O Hub.

To see if the USB I/O Hub has power, connect to a vehicle
cradle and insert a device into the cradle. The Charging LED
on the device indicates charging. See the device User Guide
for charging indications.

Connect USB Cables

The USB I/O Hub provides three USB ports for connecting
devices such as printers to a device in the vehicle cradle. To
connect USB cables:

1. Slide the cable cover down and remove.

12 USB I/O Hub Installation Guide

2. Insert the USB cable connector into one of the USB

ports.

3. Place each cable into the cable holder.

4. Align the cable cover onto the USB I/O Hub. Ensure that

the cables are within the cover opening.

5. Slide cable cover up to lock into place.

External USB Cable

The USB I/O Hub provides a USB port for charging external
devices such as cell phones. This port is for charging only.

1. Open the USB Access Cover.

not let debris gather in the bottom of the cradle slot. When
necessary, clean the cradle with a mild cleaner. If you are not
sure whether or not to use a particular cleaner, contact Zebra
for advice.
