Using this Manual Who Should Use this Manual This manual is intended for trained service technicians, radio engineers, and technical operation support staff who install the Mobile Workstation 520™ (MW-520) in a vehicle. What is in this Manual “Introduction”, lists the features of the MW-520 vehicle mount.
Using this Manual Notational Conventions Throughout this publication, you will notice the use of warnings, cautions, and notes. These notations are used to emphasize that safety hazards exist, and care must be taken. Do not proceed beyond a WARNING or CAUTION until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met.
0.00024 watts to 0.7 watts. Exposure to Radio Frequency Energy Your Motorola radio product is designed to comply with the following national and international standards and guidelines regarding exposure of human beings to radio frequency electromagnetic energy: •...
Safety Considerations To assure optimal radio product performance and make sure human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines set forth in the above standards, always adhere to the following procedures: Electromagnetic Interference/Compatibility Nearly every electronic device is susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) if inadequately shielded, designed or otherwise configured for electromagnetic compatibility.
MW-520 Vehicle Installation Guide Medical Devices Pacemakers The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of 6” (15 cm) be maintained between a handheld wireless radio product and a pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by, and recommendations of, US Food and Drug Administration. Persons with pacemakers should: •...
Safety Considerations Vehicles with Air Bags Do not place a portable radio product in the area over an air bag or in the air bag deployment area. Air bags inflate with great force. If a portable radio is placed in the air bag deployment area and the Warning air bag inflates, the radio product may be propelled with great force and cause serious injury to occupants of the vehicle.
MW-520 Vehicle Installation Guide Mobile Radio Operation and EME Exposure To assure optimal radio performance and that human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy is within the guidelines referenced earlier in this document, transmit only when people outside the vehicle are at least the minimum distance away from a properly installed, externally-mounted antenna.
Introduction Introduction The Mobile Workstation 520™ combines the power of a desktop computer with the flexibility required in a mobile environment. Its powerful processor can handle applications with local databases and detailed graphical images, including fingerprints, mugshots, and maps. The integrated radio-modem provides access to your data system without the need for a separate, external radio-modem.

MW-520 Vehicle Installation Guide The CPU arm allows for mounting of the CPU box on the pedestal. As shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5, the CPU arm can protrude forward or backward from the pedestal. The CPU box can be mounted on the CPU arm using the supplied trunnion (Figure 6 and Figure 7), or in any other suitable location.
• Trunnion for the MW-520 CPU HLN5488 • Mobile Workstation 520 Vehicle Installation Guide, 68P02962C15-O The foam cover, Motorola part no. 7586540F01, is placed on the protruding Power connector to protect it from incidental hits. Keep the connector covered until the CPU is secured in its place.
MW-520 Vehicle Installation Guide • Electrical guidelines • LP gas warning • Usability by driver/operator MW-520 Mounting Location The MW-520 is typically installed on a pedestal (included in the kit) which affixes directly to the vehicle transmission hump or to the hump plate (preferred and not included in the kit).

MW-520 Vehicle Installation Guide Environmental Considerations Consider the environmental parameters listed in the MW-520 Owner’s Manual before installing the MW-520. For operation in hot climates, the vehicle must be adequately ventilated. Caution Electrical Guidelines Be sure that the vehicle’s electrical system is in good condition. Faults in the alternator and ignition system can be a source of severe Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) and can result in MW-520 operating problems.

Place the pedestal with the keyboard, the display mount and the CPU arm (if desired) in the vehicle and use it for marking the location of the base plate on the vehicle transmission hump or on the hump plate.
MW-520 Vehicle Installation Guide Step 6. At the optimum location, drill four 1/4” holes into the transmission hump or the hump plate in order to achieve proper functionality and use of the MW-520. Be careful not to drill into the transmission. Some commercially available hump plates, such as the SDI 7200 system, may have the hole pattern already pre-drilled.
Installation The keyboard is provided with a quick release holder to allow operation of the keyboard when out of the holder. Care must be used to ensure ample space for extracting and reinserting the keyboard into the holder. Ensure that the cable is routed in a manner that allows the operator to remove the keyboard from the mounting tray and operate the keyboard in their lap.
