Picker Cradle Mounting Recommendations

The7530 G2 base picker cradle can be outfitted with two options – a power module and a port replicator. Psion Teklogix also supplies a range of standard mounts for the hand-held picker cradles, and the 7530 G2 picker cradle is compatible with all of them.

6.11.1 Picker Cradle Mounting Recommendations

Warning:	Before mounting a picker cradle in a vehicle, there are a number
	of operator safety issues that require careful attention. An improp-
	erly mounted cradle may result in one or more of the following:
	operator injury, 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.
	Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consider-
	ation, especially for separately tethered scanners and other devices
	with loose cables. If you are unable to obtain suitable advice,
	contact Psion Teklogix for assistance (see Appendix A: Support Ser-
	vices And Worldwide Offices). Note also that for better protection,
	the equipment should be mounted inside the vehicle roll cage.

Pedestal mounts are recommended for all fixed mount locations because they offer optimal operator access. In addition, for safety reasons, only pedestal mounts with fully locking joints should be used in vehicles. Always adjust the pedestal for the optimum viewing angle, and securely tighten the hex and wing screws.

The most effective way to mount the picker cradle is to use the four #8-32 threaded inserts on the rear of the unit. Bolts must not extend more than 10mm (3/8") into the cradle.

To accommodate the service loop of the connector cable, leave a 4" clearance at the bottom of the cradle. Leave a 7" (minimum) clearance at the top of the cradle to allow easy removal of the hand-held. Also remember to leave at least a 3" clearance at the sides of the cradle to allow activation of the release knobs. Refer to the detailed assembly instructions that are packaged with the cradle when selecting a mounting location.
