Intermec IV7 User manual

IV7
Vehicle-Mount Reader Data Cable Kit Instructions
Use this cable to connect the IV7 Vehicle-Mount Reader to:
• the serial port on a PC.
• general purpose input/output (GPIO) devices such as motion sensors.
These instructions explain how to assemble the data cable and include
guidelines for installing the cable on the vehicle.
This kit (P/N 203-776-001) includes these items:
• Data cable with 20-pin connector, 12 ft (P/N 236-086-001)
• Heatshrink tubing, 1/8 in x 3 ft
• Twenty-four crimp connectors (P/N 809-083-027)
• Four 2K, 1-watt resistors
Required Tools
To assemble the data cable, you need these tools:
• Wire cutters and stripper
• Crimping tool
•Heatgun
Note: Before you assemble the data cable, you need to choose a
mounting location for the IV7 on the vehicle. For more
information, see the IV7 Vehicle-Mount Reader Instructions (P/N
075280-xxx for the standard IV7, or P/N 943-100-xxx for the
ALBR IV7).

Assembling the Data Cable
Once you have determined where the IV7 will be mounted on the vehicle,
you can begin assembling the data cable.
To assemble the data cable
1Strip the sheath from the unterminated end of the cable as needed. If
necessary, be sure to leave enough room for strain relief.
2Install connectors as needed on the cable. Use heatshrink tubing to
protect the connections. For wiring information, see the “Data Cable
Wiring Information” table on the next page.
3(Optional) If you are connecting an input device to the IV7 GPIO
interfaces, install a 2K, 1-watt resistor in series with the input wiring as
shown in the next illustration. The resistor provides protection against
over current and over voltage situations.
GPIO Interface Wiring: Install a 2K, 1-watt resistor in the GPIO input line.
For more information on using the IV7 GPIO interfaces, see the IV7
instructions.
Note: Depending on your installation, you may need to use
different terminal lugs (not supplied).

Cable Safety Guidelines
In addition to the data cable, the IV7 requires power and antenna cables to
connect it to your vehicle-mounted RFID system. As you install the cables,
follow these safety guidelines:
• Make sure that the cable routing does not interfere with other equipment
or vehicle controls.
• Keep cables as short as practical and route all cables to minimize exposure
to damage.
• Make sure the cables will not be pinched or rubbed by moving parts on
the vehicle. You may need to sheath the cable to prevent it from being
pinched.
• Secure the cables every 15 cm (6 in) throughout the length of the cable
run using hardware appropriate for the installation.
• Use a snap-in bushing if the cables pass through a firewall or other sheet
metal.
Note: Most vehicle manufacturers offer pulley kits for installation
of wiring with risers. Intermec recommends using these
manufacturer-specific kits with any installation of the IV7 on a
forklift load back rest assembly.
