Insert enough foam into the cap so that when you slide the cap back onto the Field PC with little pressure, a ¼ inch (6 mm) gap remains between the cap and the Field PC, as shown. ¼ in. (6 mm) gap 3. Tighten the Communication Cap screws until they are firmly in place. To properly seal the cap, apply an extra ¼ to ½ turn after the screws become hard to turn.

  • Page 167 This section tells you how to insert your card(s) properly. For memory cards, see step 3. For medium or large CF cards, see step 4. For any other card types, insert your card(s) and skip to step 5. CAUTION: Before inserting a card, make sure the four side screws on the seal adapter plate are backed inch as shown in the first image in step 2. 3. If you are inserting an SD or CF memory card, make it easier to remove by first placing a card pull tab onto the card. Insert the card. 4. A Type I CF card is thinner than a Type II card, so it needs a spacer to keep the card in place. Before you insert a Type I CF card ( inch or 3 mm thick), first insert the card spacer in the CF card slot closest to the front of the Field PC. If you are inserting a Type II CF card (¼ inch or 5.5 mm thick), do...

CAUTION: Before removing an inserted card, loosen the four small side screws by inch (3 mm). 6. If you inserted a camera SD card, insert large foam pieces inside the top of the cap to keep the camera in place. Stack enough foam in the top of the cap so that when you slide the cap into place with little pres- sure, a ¼ inch (6 mm) gap re- mains between the cap and the Field PC. This gap closes when you secure the cap in step 8. ¼ inch (6 mm) gap...

If you inserted foam into the cap in step 6, first press down on the cap so the screws engage. To properly seal the cap, apply an extra ¼ or ½ turn after the screws become hard to turn. Note: Even if a small gap remains between the extended cap and the body molding, the Field PC is fully sealed.
  • Page 170 Mounting an External Device Overview The Field PC features a convenient cable channel that hides cables attached to an external device you mount on the Universal, Optical, or Data Acquisition Caps. External devices might include an external RS-232 sensor (such as a GPS receiver) or a USB device. This section explains how to insert a cable in the cable channel and how to mount the external device onto the extended cap. These instructions assume you have already installed your extended cap onto the Field PC. 1. Turn off the Field PC and remove the extended cap, bottom hand strap latch, battery door, and battery pack. Leave the serial adapter plate in place. Carefully remove the four side screws on the body molding and slide off the body molding about 1 inch (2.5 cm).
  • Page 171 2. Thread the sensor cable along the cable channel and out through the body molding. 3. With the cable in place, slide the body molding into place and tighten the four side screws. Replace the battery pack, battery door, and hand strap.
  • Page 172 4. Connect the sensor connec- tor to the 9-pin serial port or USB host port. 5. Make sure the seal adapter plate is properly installed. CAUTION: The seal adapter plate must be installed to seal the Field PC. If you have not already installed the seal adapter plate onto your Field PC, see steps 2–4 of the previous section for instructions.
