Send CR with FKEY A function key press generates a string of text to be sent back to the host. If this parameter is enabled, a carriage return is appended to the function key. Psion Teklogix 8525 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual...
Page 234 Note: This operation is only performed on screens received from the host. Data sent to the host remains unaffected. Passthru Printing Setting this parameter to ‘Y’ allows the host to send data directly to the 8525 serial port. This option is most commonly used for printing. AIAG Character This parameter is used to enter a decimal representation of the ASCII character code of the AIAG character.
Page 235 The application program distinguishes this ﬁeld as Serial I/O by preceding the ﬁeld with a special character. If this character precedes a ﬁxed ﬁeld, the data will be sent to the 8525’s serial port. If it precedes an entry ﬁeld, the ﬁeld accepts data from the 8525’s serial port.
Page 236 When the system request key is pressed, a Telnet “Interrupt Process” command is generated. The “Interrupt Process” command is sent to the host in place of the standard mechanism used to send the system request key press to a host using Telnet.

Page 257: 8525 Mounting Recommendations
8525 Mounting Recommendations 7.4.1 8525 Mounting Recommendations Warnings: Before mounting an 8525 in a vehicle, there are a number of oper- ator safety issues that require careful attention. An improperly mounted 8525 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.
Page 258: Installing The Cradle And Cradle Mounting Plate
Adaptor Plate Figure 7.1 Quick Release Mount Installed First, the 8525 must be attached to the cradle (Figure 7.2 on page 235). To do this: • Place the terminal in the cradle so that the display side of the terminal is on the same side as the quick release fasteners.
Page 259 Installing The Cradle Mounting Plate Next, the cradle mounting plate must be attached to the vehicle. The cradle mounting plate shown in Figure 7.3 holds the 8525 and cradle in place. • Screw the cradle mounting plate onto the vehicle using the four 1/4" holes.
Page 260 Figure 7.3 The Cradle Mounting Plate Attaching The Cradle To The Cradle Mounting Plate Next, the 8525 and cradle must be attached to the cradle mounting plate. • Align the tabs on the front of the cradle to the tab guides on the mounting plate and push the cradle back and down.

Voltages exceeding 60VDC are considered hazardous. For 8525 installations on vehicles with batteries above this voltage, ensure the 8525 power connector is mounted in a secure location out of the vehicle operator’s reach. Due to the hazardous voltages present on these vehicles, it is necessary to ensure that the unit’s power supply cable connector is not accessible to the vehicle operator,...

The red lead of the power cable attaches to the positive vehicle supply. The black lead connects to the negative supply – this should be connected to a proper terminal block and not to the vehicle body. The 8525 is fully isolated and can be used with both negative and positive chassis vehicles.
Page 264 You may have the option of connecting power before or after the ‘key’ switch. It is preferable to wire the 8525 after the key switch – that is, the 8525 cannot be switched on without turning the vehicle key on. However, if the operator switches the key off repeatedly for long periods during a shift, it may make more sense to wire the 8525 before the switch.
