Approvals And Safety Summary
XII 8580/8590 Vehicle-Mount Computer User Manual
The power supply cables must be laid in accordance with the applicable local
installation regulations.
Radio Performance
Do not exceed the maximum permissible transmitting power which is specified
by each separate country. 8580/8590 users must verify this themselves.
Risk Of Injury
The unit could fall during transit or installation and cause injury. Always ensure
that there are two persons available when installing or removing the device.
Supply Of Fresh Air
The 8580/8590 is based on a passive cooling concept. As a result, the waste heat
which is produced inside the device is emitted over the surface of the housing.
For this system to function properly, sufficient fresh air circulation is required.
Never install the system in a closed environment where the cooling air is unable
to dissipate accumulated heat to the outside.
If the 8580/8590 is not able to draw in fresh cooling air, this may cause overheat-
ing and severe damage to the unit.
The maximum allowed ambient temperature for the system needs to be taken
into account for the concrete application area.
