Install The Mounting Brackets; Route The Electrical Cables - Honeywell Vocollect Hardware Reference Manual

Install the Mounting Brackets

Warning: The device must be mounted in accordance with accepted aftermarket practices and materials
supplied by Honeywell and/or RAM Mounting Systems. Honeywell does not support Talkman devices which
are not mounted in an approved manner. Please note that not mounting Talkman devices in an approved
manner may also violate local safety laws and possible cause a safety hazard by damaging Talkman devices
and batteries.
Follow these steps to install a mounting bracket.
1. Drill the holes required to secure the base to the vehicle. If using the clamp mount, skip this step.
2. Screw or clamp a base to the location.
Tip: Apply some lubricant (for example, light oil or anti-sieze) to the threads of the clamp mount screws.
3. Attach the other base to the other end of the arm and tighten once in the desired location by turning the locking
lever clockwise.
4. Screw the device holder to the base.
Important: To prevent vibration, the arm of the mounting bracket should not touch the stem of the ball of the
base. In other words, the arm should not be tilted so far that these pieces touch.

Route the Electrical Cables

You will need the following equipment:
• One fuse holder from Cooper Bussman. Honeywell recommends using a Cooper Bussmann HFA series in line
waterproof fuse.
• One fuse. Honeywell recommends a Cooper Bussmann ABC-20-R fuse.
• Three spade connectors
• Four small cable ties
• Input cable (part number 236-288-001)
• Fasteners
Important: All components used in in the electrical connection to the vehicle must be UL Listed.
Warning: Always follow the vehicle manufacturer's recommendations for electrical accessories connection.
Honeywell recommends choosing unswitched power as the source for the power supply. This will allow Talkman
devices to be powered for software updates as well as prevent Talkman devices from accidentally being unpowered if
the vehicle is switched off unintentionally.
Important: The power supply cable must be installed from the vehicle's fuse panel or with an in-line fuse
to the device along the vehicle wall, always inside the vehicle cabin, and must not cross the vehicle's firewall
protection.
CAUTION: Take the following precautions to ensure maximum safety when routing electrical cables:
• The vehicle must be off and the vehicle's battery must be disconnected.
• Cables should be kept clear of surfaces that may become hot.
