Before mounting an 8515 in a vehicle, there are a number of operator safety
issues that require careful attention. When mounting an 8515 use only
approved Psion Teklogix mounting hardware and mounting parts which are
specific to the 8515 model purchased. An improperly mounted 8515 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. Psion Teklogix strongly recom-
mends that you seek professional mounting advice from the
vehicle manufacturer.
If it is necessary to mount the 8515 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 failsafe device be installed.
The following restrictions must be strictly enforced:
• Do not use the mount and/or the 8515 as a hand-hold. 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 8515. Addi-
tional 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 sub-
jected to fatigue, stress, and/or part wear. A periodic inspection of the mount-
ing 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 step 4 below and tighten with the approved
tightening tool (P/N 9000594).
Cable routing within a vehicle cab also requires careful consideration, espe-
cially for separately connected scanners and other devices with loose cables.
