1.Introduction
CCpilot VA is a freely programmable display computer with 7” full-colour TFT and optional touch
screen.
The powerful ARM®based CPU and Linux®operating system constitutes an open platform that
enables implementation of premium user-machine interaction, reliable controls and integrated fleet
management.
This technical manual provides important information regarding the device’s hardware and its basic
usage. For software and operating system specifics, please see additional documentation.
1.1. Product models
This documentation is applicable for all CCpilot VA standard models. These models are:
CCpilot VA with pushbuttons and taped glass (no touch-screen).
CCpilot VA with pushbuttons and optically bonded glass (no touch-screen).
CCpilot VA with pushbuttons and taped capacitive touch-screen.
CCpilot VA with pushbuttons and optically bonded capacitive touch-screen.
All models offer the same level of CPU performance and external connectors/interfaces.
The above product models are compatible with the CrossLink AI module to support wireless interfaces
GSM/GPRS, WLAN and Bluetooth for communication and GPS for positioning.
1.1.1. Customized models
The platform enables additional customization of hardware and software. Described herein are the
features included in product models described above. Additional features in customized models will be
documented separately.

1.3. Identification
Each device has a label with article number, revision and serial numbers which identify your unique
device. Take note of these numbers. During service and other contact with the supplier it is important
to be able to provide this information.
1.4. Ruggedization
The CCpilot VA device has been designed to manage tough environmental demands. Much effort has
been put into designing and selecting system components to provide a reliable and robust device.
Thorough testing has been performed in order to ensure compliance to a broad range of applicable
regulatory requirements and to meet the user expectations of a ruggedized device for vehicle- and
machinery control.
A complete list of standards to which the device has been tested for compliance can be found in
chapters 7.2 - 7.3.

2.Device overview
This chapter contains illustrations of the CCpilot VA models showing the location of external
connectors, indicators etc. Information about various CCpilot VA models can be found in chapter 1.1 -
Product models.
Connectors are described in more detail in chapter 6.
Additional mechanical information can be found in chapter 7.4.
2.1. Front side view
At the front side of the device there is a 7” display with either a protective glass or a glass with
projected capacitive touch-sensor (PCAP).
There are 10 x soft keys with user configurable functionality (backlight control, power on/off,
suspend/resume or application specific functions). The buttons are backlit to be clearly visible also at
dark conditions.
There is also a light sensor in the front panel which enables automatic dimming of display and buttons
backlight.

2.2. Rear side view
At the rear side of the device there are external interface connectors, i.e. 3 x Deutsch DTM-12
connectors and an additional USB Mini-B receptacle located under a sealed cover.
There are also mounting holes for 1.5” RAM®ball mount (RAM-202U) or custom bracket for panel
mounting and a GORE-TEX®membrane for ventilation.

3.Mounting and handling
This chapter contains recommendations for installation, handling and maintenance of the device.
3.1. Mounting
CCpilot VA has the capability to support two different mounting methods, either using an industry
standard RAM ball mount or mounting in a panel cutout. These two mounting methods are described
further below.
For both fastening methods, it is recommended to use 3 pc. M5 x 0.8 button head screws of type MRT
(Torx), length should be 12 mm. The recommended fastening torque is 1.5 - 2.0 Nm. Using a split ring
or toothed lock washer is recommended. Ensure that the M5 mounting screws are clean and dry before
mounting.
Note that the depth of the threaded holes is 9.5 mm. Be careful not to use too long screws which may
damage the device when tightened.
3.1.1. RAM mount
CCpilot VA is preferably mounted using a RAM mount, i.e. RAM-202U, a round base 1.5” ball mount
which allows adjustment of the display’s position and angle.

3.1.2. Panel mounting
Alternatively, the device can be mounted in a panel-cutout using a panel mounting bracket (article
number C000134-07), see figure below.
CCpilot VA with panel mounting bracket
The mounting bracket is designed for a panel thickness of 1.5 - 3.0 mm. Panel cutout dimensions are
according to figure below. A drawing in DXF-format for precision cutting of panels is available upon
request.
The device has a built-in gasket to provide some amount of sealing towards the panel. Ensure that the
device is mounted to a smooth, flat surface. Fastening the device to an uneven surface will affect the
sealing property and may stress the enclosure or damage the outer flange, leading to premature
failure. Additional gasket or other means for sealing may be required to reach higher IP levels.
