RW 220 Vehicle Cradle Installation Guide
Installing the Mounting Arm
Description
A mounting arm is included in Zebra accessory kit p/n
AK17463-018. The mounting arm allows a more versatile method
of positioning the RW 220 printer. It consists of an arm with a ball
and socket joint at either end, which in turn are terminated with a
mounting flange. One flange is secured to the Cradle by the four
mounting holes provided on the bottom plate, and the other is se-
cured to the desired mounting surface. A clamp on the arm locks
the Cradle in the desired position.
Installation
Caution: Mount the Printer and Vehicle Cradle where it will not interfere
with the operator or cause harm in case of an accident.
Caution: If you are using a Zebra Mobile Charger, do not connect the input
power cable to the Vehicle Cradle until the Cradle and Mounting Arm in-
stallation has been completed.
For ease of installation, the Arm can be disassembled by loosen-
ing the clamp enough to remove the two ball and socket flanged
ends. These end flanges can then be easily secured to the Vehicle
Cradle and the desired mounting surface. Then the arm can be
slipped over the two ends and the clamp tightened to secure the
Cradle in position.
When installing the mounting arm, remember that the arm pro-
vides a considerable range of movement for the Vehicle Cradle
and Printer. Extra clearance should be provided for this movement
if it is desired in the installation.
Some models of the RW 220 will have a Magnetic Stripe Card
reader and a Smart Card reader installed. If these features are
to be used, the printer must be located so that the operator will
have clear access to the reader’s slots for these cards. Refer to
the RW Series Users Guide for more information on the use of the
Magnetic Stripe Reader/Smart Card reader features.
Mounting Hardware
Mounting hardware is supplied with the Mounting Arm Kit. The
#8-32 x 1/2” Screws should be used to secure one end of the arm
to the bottom of the Vehicle Cradle. The #10-24 x 3/4” Screws and
associated hardware may be used to secure the other end of the
arm to the desired mounting surface or to the mounting plate sup-
plied with p/n AK17463-018.
