IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION FOR INSTALLERS

Safety is dependent on the proper installation and servicing of this docking station. It is important to read and follow all instructions before installing this product.

To properly install Gamber Johnson docking station you must have a good understanding of automotive electrical procedures and systems, along with proficiency in the installation and service of aftermarket vehicle equipment.

There are no adjustments required at any time of the electrical components within the docking station. Opening the port replication housing will void the product warranty.

During Installation:

DO NOT connect this docking station to the vehicle battery until:•

ALL other electrical connections are made1.

Mounting of ALL components is complete2.

VERIFICATION that no shorts exist in the entire system3.

DO NOT install equipment or route wiring or cords in the deployment path of any airbag.

When drilling into the vehicle. DO make sure that both sides of the surface are clear of anything that could be damaged.

CAUTION: If wiring is shorted to the frame, high current conductors can cause hazardous sparks resulting in electrical fires or flying molten metal.

After Installation:

Test the docking station to ensure that it is working properly.

File these instructions in a safe place and refer to them when performing maintenance or re-installing.

WARNING: Failure to follow all safety precautions and instructions may result in property damage, serious injury or death.

PRE-INSTALLATION RECOMMENDATIONS

Conduct a "Bench Test"

Gamber Johnson strongly advises a "Bench Test" be conducted to verify that all electronic and software issues are resolved prior to installation:

Make sure computer is operational by itself.1.

Insert computer into docking station and verify that the computer is operating in the dock.2. Interconnect entire assembly and verify start-up of all components, including other equipment 3. (printers, modems, scanners, etc.)

*Gamber Johnson recommends positioning of all mounts and equipment in the vehicle prior to the actual install to verify that mounting locations are safe and practical.

MOUNTING THE DOCKING STATION

Mount docking station to mounting system using the four 1/4-20 UNC mounting holes on the bottom of the dock. Four 1/4-20 UNC x .50 Button Head Mounting Screws are provided in the hardware bag.

* Recommended torque: 75 in-lbs. Over tightening mounting hardware may damage docking station.
* Use of hardware longer than 5/8" may damage docking station.

This docking station is designed to be used with a variety of Gamber Johnson mounting systems. Installation instructions for other Gamber Johnson products are provided with each individual product.

When attaching clevis to the dock make sure the orientation is as shown in picutre to the left. Otherwise clevis will interfere with support bracket and ports. If desired handle can be switched to opposite side for convenience.

Clevis (Not Included)

Use 1/4-20 x.50 (Qty. 4) Button Head Mounting Screws.

WIRELESS ANTENNA SWITCH

If wanting to use external antenna, connected by cable to the WAN port on the dock: Position the switch toward the "EXT" side.

If wanting to use antenna built into the computer or PC Card type antenna: Position the switch toward the "INT" side.

CF-31MK1 computers are not effected by the "Antenna Switch". To disable external antenna on all CF-31 MK1 computers, install Panasonic service part No. (DFHR3S40ZA, DFHR3S39ZA or DFHR3S38ZA (dual) over the RF connection on back of the computer. This part can be ordered from Panasonic (1-800-527-8675) and support will send request to service department. If the CF-31 Model No. is followed by the following Alpha's you know it is a MK1 model: CF-32A, B/E, C, D or G. All other CF-31 models work as stated above.

CABLE RESTRAINT INFORMATION

Retain the USB and Ethernet cables at the Restraint Bracket using the supplied cable ties. If desired additional cables can be routed and attached to Restraint Bracket with cable ties.

POWER SUPPLY INFORMATION

(NON INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY MODELS)

Panasonic recommends using a Lind Auto Adapter (Lind part No. PA1580-2961) to power the docking station. It can be ordered from Gamber Johnson (part No. 14103) or directly from Lind Electronics, Minneapolis, Minnesota (952-927-6303).

Installation of the Power Jack:

With cable of Power Jack oriented perpendicular to the bottom of the dock insert Power Jack into socket labeled DC IN 15.6V. After Power Jack is inserted into socket rotate Power Jack towards LAN/WAN labels to lock Power Jack into socket. Insert cable between snap finger and frame and secure with cable clamp and screw. See image below for correct position of cable to maximize space around RF connector, if dock is so equipped.

(INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY MODELS)

This docking station has an add on power supply and is designed to be used with a 12 volt or 24 volt DC systems only. The voltage output is factory set at 15.6 volts.

WIRING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: Make sure that you have read this entire section before you begin wiring! Refer to Figure 1

1. Install docking station into vehicle, making sure that all bolts are tight.
2. Attach BLACK ground wire to the location where the vehicle battery grounds to vehicle chassis.(See Figure 1)
3. Connect the RED wire to the supply voltage (V+) from the vehicle. (See Figure 1)

IMPORTANT REMINDERS:

• Use only SAE J1128 Type GPT number 16 AWG stranded wire (minimum) to attach the docking station to the vehicle's electrical system.
• Connect lead wires to the Docking Station (recommend using quick disconnects as shown in Figure 1) Caution: The disconnect must be easily accessible. When assembling the quick disconnects, use only Panduit crimp tools CT-100, CT-600, CT-1525, CT-1550 or CT-1551.
• Route the lead wires to the battery. Total wire in the circuit must not exceed 30 feet and must conform to SAE J1128 standard.
• Protect the lead wires from abrasion and chafing by using wire loom or conduit and route away from moving parts or areas where high temperatures may occur.
• Connection of the supply voltage (V+) must be kept as close to the battery as possible.
• The power connection must be made with the 10 amp in-line fuse and fuse holder provided with the dock. Connect the fuse holder to the lead wire using the butt splice connectors provided with the fuse holder. When assembling the butt splice connectors, use only Panduit crimp tools CT-100, CT-600, CT-1525 or CT-1551.
  The fuse holder location must be kept within 10 inches of the connection to the battery positive, away from moving parts and temperatures that exceed 180 degrees F.
  Caution: If the fuse holder requires replacement, it should be replaced by qualified service personal using Littlefuse part number FHM1 (Gamber-Johnson part number 11689). This device conforms to ASTM D471 and SAE J1128 standards.
• Fuse must be inserted in the supplied fuse holder. Caution: For continued protection against risk of fire, replace only with the same type and rating of supplied fuse. The provided fuse is UL Listed, rated at 10 amps, 32 volt AC/DC fast acting.
• If a timing device is used, follow the instructions of the manufacturer of that device. It must be wired in-line with the supply voltage (V+) to the docking station.
• If you have any installation questions, please call Gamber-Johnson customer support at 1-800-456-6868.
