2 - 2 VC80 User Guide
Ground Lug
Installing the VC80
Electrical Installation
There are various electrical potentials when installing the unit on a vehicle such as a forklift.
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.
The VC80 accepts DC power sources with a minimum of 10VDC nominal and
48VDC nominal. A Power Pre-regulator is required for voltages above 48VDC
nominal.
Applying a voltage above 48VDC nominal without the pre-regulator or reversing
polarity may result in permanent damage to the VC80 and voids the product
warranty.
Figure 2-1 VC80 Ground Lug
CAUTION
Attach the VC80 connecting cable as close to the battery as possible. Connecting the VC80
to large electrical loads, such as converters for the forklift motor may result in random
restarts, malfunctions and/or irreparable damage to the device.
To connect devices fed by other power sources to the VC80, such as printers, power up the
peripheral devices at the same time or after the VC80 to avoid start-up problems,
malfunctions or irreparable damage to the device.
Installation 2 - 3
Wiring Guidelines
The metal chassis of the VC80 is equipped with a ground lug (located on the underside adjacent to the power
cable) to provide additional ground to the vehicle. It is strongly recommended that a grounding strap is used to
connect the ground stud on the vehicle-mount to a solid, reliable contact point on the main portion of the vehicle
chassis. It must not be connected to battery negative or terminal block.
As with other vehicle cables, carefully consider the routing of the ground strap to ensure it does not pose a hazard
to the operator or the safe operation of the vehicle. If necessary, secure the ground strap with cable ties or some
other mechanical means to prevent loops or loose lengths of wire from catching on stationary items when the
vehicle is in motion.
Before installing the cables between the mount and other devices, consider the following:
• Ensure that drilling holes do not damage the vehicle or its wiring.
• Protect cable runs from pinching, overheating and physical damage.
• Use grommets to protect cables that pass through metal.
• Use plastic straps and tie-downs to secure cables and connectors in their desired location, away from areas
where they may get snagged or pulled.
• Keep cables away from heat sources, grease, battery acid and other potential hazards.
• Keep cables away from control pedals and other moving parts that may damage the cables or interfere with the
operation of the vehicle.
IMPORTANT
Make sure the cables run inside the roll cage of the vehicle.
If the VC80 is installed in an environment where earth ground is present such as a vehicle
with metal wheels running on a metal track, or is powered by the AC/DC adaptor in a
permanent installation, the ground lug must be connected to the ground structure.
2 - 4 VC80 User Guide
Wiring Vehicle Power to the VC80
WARNING Applying voltage above the input voltage rating or reversing polarity may result
in permanent damage to the VC80 and void the product warranty.
An extension power cable is used to wire the VC80 to the truck battery (order cable separately, see Accessories on
page 5-1). Wire this cable to a filtered, fused (15A max) accessory supply on the vehicle. Follow the installation
instructions supplied with the extension cable.
Additional wiring (minimum 14 gauge), connectors or disconnects used should be rated for at least 300 VDC, 15A.
When connecting the extension power cable:
•
If a power extension cable with ignition sense is used, ensure that the ignition sense wires (18AWG wires in
red and black leads) and the power wires (14AWG in red and 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 14AWG power cables attach to the vehicles battery positive terminal. The 14AWG black
lead connects to the vehicle’s battery negative terminal. This should be connected to a proper terminal block
and not to the vehicle body. An optional grounding strap wire (sourced separately) may be connected to the
ground lug of the VC80 terminal connector bay and to the vehicle chassis.
•
You may have the option to connect power before or after the key switch. Though the VC80 is equipped with
a UPS, a proper shut down is recommended using the windows shut down procedure. If it is wired after the
key switch, the operator must shut down the VC80 using the Windows shut down 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
shut down wire should be connected and the VC80 configured to shut down automatically.
•
An appropriate fuse type must be used with the power extension cable according to the installation
instructions. For main power cable, use 3AB, 15A, 250V, slow blow fuse. For ignition sense input, use 3AB,
0.3A, 250V, slow blow fuse.
NOTE
The VC80 supports the ignition sense feature that detects when the ignition switch or key
switch is On or Off to allow automatic computer start up or shut down (with delay as needed).
When wiring the ignition sense wires (18AWG in red and black), the red 18AWG wire is
connected to a positive DC voltage source switched on by the ignition. The black 18AWG wire
is connected to ground reference of this switched ignition source.
Installation 2 - 5
Positioning the VC80 in the Vehicle
When positioning the VC80 on the vehicle:
•
The driver's field of view must be kept free.
•
Plan for sufficient space if a keyboard and scanner are installed with the VC80.
•
No part of the VC80 system may project beyond the vehicle.
Overview of the Assembly Steps
Before fastening the VC80 to the vehicle:
•
Configure shut down automation.
•
Prepare the forklift such as ignition connection and correct voltage.
•
It is recommended to fasten the bracket to the vehicle and then install the VC80 to the bracket.
Cable Dust Cover
For the dust cover location, see VC80 Back View with Dust Cover on page 1-4.
CAUTION
CAUTION
Turn on external peripheral devices with their own power supply at the same time or after the VC80. If
this is not possible, ensure that the VC80 is adequately protected from power leakage caused by an
external device.
For safety reasons, install the supplied cable cover for the external ports prior to using the VC80.
Strain Relief
After the VC80 and bracket are fastened, prepare the strain relief as follows:
1. Install the cables loosely on the strain relief rail (see Figure 1-4 on page 1-4).
2. As far as possible, route cables leading to or away from the unit next to one another without crossing.
3. Fasten the cables into the strain relief rail precisely at the positions at which the cable openings in the cable
cover are located.

Forklift Battery Replacement Conditions
The VC80 maintains normal function of applications and connections during and after forklift battery replacement.
Replace the forklift battery at any point during a shift and/or while the VC80 is fully running.
The forklift battery may be replaced under following condition: VMC external temperature range: -30° C to +50° C.
During forklift battery replacement (VMC is running on UPS battery), both Windows and the VC80 are monitoring
remaining UPS battery capacity. The default Low Battery notification threshold is set to 20% for all Windows Power
plans. The Critical Battery threshold is set to 10%. If UPS battery is discharged below 10%, the VC80 automatically
shuts down.
An additional notification message can be enabled in the VC80 with a threshold set to the configured Low Battery
level plus an additional 10%. If enabled, this message appears to the User when the UPS battery is discharged to
30% (20% + 10%) level.
Starting from Cold Soak
The VC80 does not startup from a saturated cold soak when internal VC80 temperature (critical components and
UPS battery) is below -30° C or UPS battery has less than 10% capacity. The red LED warning indicator may
display.
The VC80 can to start up from a saturated cold soak at -30° C (or above) internal VC80 temperature when a valid
external DC power source is present.
The VC80 design minimizes wait time from -30° C cold soak to load the OS and have internal heaters to assist
system warm up.
From a -30° C cold soak condition, the VC80 battery heater may be activated to warm the UPS battery to an
acceptable charging temperature if charging is needed. The conditions and time to heat the battery are managed
by the system. The OS load time and VC80 ready for use time is independent of warming the battery.

Using AC power, the VC80 Vehicle-Mount Computer can be mounted at fixed locations adjacent to cross-dock
doors, manufacturing stations, or in offices.
Use the 100/240 VAC Power Supply (p/n PS000145A01) to power the computer from an AC source.
IMPORTANT
The AC/DC power supply is only intended for use at room temperature condition such as
an office environment.
Installation 2 - 9
Power On/Off with Ignition
The VC80 is equipped with an ignition sense feature which puts the terminal into suspend/shutdown when the
vehicle ignition is turned off and can power on the terminal when the ignition is switched on. To use this feature, a
power extension cable with ignition sense wires must be used and installed properly on the vehicle.
The cable in Figure 2-4 is the power extension cable (p/n CA1220) with two wires used to connect to vehicle ignition. The red and black leads of the two 18AWG wires that connect to the key switch of the ignition and ground,
respectively. Once the wires are connected, the VC80 may switch on or off depending on the state of the vehicle
ignition key. See Power on page 3-20 to select power settings.
IMPORTANT
When connecting to an ignition switch using the power extension cable with ignition sense
wires, ensure that the wires of different polarities are reliably secured away from each
other, or are separated with reliably secured certified insulation. A minimum distance of
2.8mm (or 0.4mm distance through insulation) is required for the separation.
The thinner wires (18 AWG) are used for Ignition Sense wires while the thicker wires
(14AWG) are used for Vehicle Power and Ground. Identify them carefully and
Do Not confuse them.
An appropriate fuse type must be used with the power extension cable according to the
installation instructions. For the main power cable, use 3AB, 15A, 250V, slow blow fuse.
For ignition sense input, use 3AB, 0.3A, 250V, slow blow fuse.

Screen Blanking Wiring
Connecting Switch for Screen Blanking
To use Screen Blanking, connect one of the two DB9 serial ports (using CA1300 Screen Blanking cable) on the
VC80 to a switch. Activate this switch electrically (e.g. motion sensor, GPS) or mechanically (e.g. pedal switch)
when the vehicle is in motion.
Figure 2-5 Connecting the Switch to the DB9 Cable
IMPORTANT
The screen blanking feature makes use of either one of the DB-9 ports to monitor electrical relay closure. When
enabled, the CTS/RTS pins of the DB9 port are continuously monitored by the screen blanking application. See
Figure 2-6 for pin configuration.
When the vehicle is in motion, the switch closes the circuit, allowing data packets to be sent or received through the
RTS and CTS pins. The computer detects that the circuit is closed and turns off the screen.
When the vehicle is not in motion, the switch opens the circuit, preventing data packets from being sent or
received. The computer detects that the circuit is open and turns on the screen.
For customers migrating to the VC80 from a 8515, 8525, 8535 vehicle mount computer or
a 753x hand-held computer cradle:
If the screen blanking feature was used previously, ensure that you are no longer feeding
the screen blanking signals to the VC80 main DC power cable. Rewire the screen
blanking inputs to the VC80 DB-9 serial port through the DB-9 screen blanking cable. In
previous generations of vehicle-mount computers, the screen blanking signals were fed in
to the terminal through 2 of the 4 wires in the CPC connector of the DC power cable. This
no longer applies for the VC80.

VC80 Mounting Accessories
WARNING Failure to install the mount correctly, or modifications to the mount, may result in serious
injury or damage to property. Contact Zebra Technical Support or your Zebra 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 computer and mount. Use of this mount in vehicles driven on public roads or highways is
prohibited. Contact Zebra for further details.
Before mounting a VC80 in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety issues that
require careful attention. When mounting a VC80 use only approved Zebra mounting
hardware and mounting parts which are specific to the VC80 model purchased. An
improperly mounted VC80 or 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. Zebra strongly recommends that you
seek professional mounting advice from the vehicle manufacturer.
If it is necessary to mount the VC80 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 fail safe
device be installed.
The following restrictions must be strictly enforced:
•
Do not use the mount and/or the VC80 as a hand-held. 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 VC80. Additional elements
may fall causing injury, or may increase the 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 the pertinent sections below.
•
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, especially for
separately connected scanners and other devices with loose cables. If you are unable
to obtain suitable advice, contact Zebra for assistance. For better protection, the
equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.
•
When charging the vehicle battery, the VC80 must be either disconnected from the
battery or it must be determined that the maximum allowed input voltage of the VC80 is
not exceeded.

MT43XX RAM Mount
IMPORTANT
IMPORTANT
The VC80 may be installed using an articulating RAM Mount (Model MT43XX – 4 in. or 12 in. arm) secured to
either a VESA or circular base.
The RAM articulating mount can be installed in a variety of orientations (see Figure 5-3 on page 5-9). Select the
best orientation for the specific application. Preferred orientations maintain the center of mass of the computer
assembly, directly over the center of the base.
For detailed mount installation information, refer to the instructions included with the mount kit.
To avoid injury, this device must be properly secured when in a moving vehicle.
Keep this device away from magnetic fields.
Do not place the computer near a television or radio receiver.
Do not disassemble the VC80 computer as there are no user-serviceable parts inside.
The operator can easily adjust the tilt and rotation of the VC80. Use care to avoid operator
injury or equipment damage if the computer slips due to a loosened hand screw.
