xTablet T1600 Vehicle Holder Installation Guide

This document will step you through setting up the T1600 Vehicle Holder installation and tips for a safe, clean and long

lasting installation.

Preparing to Mount the Vehicle Holder

When using the washer and special seat washer, put them on the bolt like this. This will ensure the ball is seated

properly and minimizes vibration.

Warning : Dock mounting that does not use the designed mounting‐hole

patterns and profile can damage the dock and void the warranty for both

the dock and the tablet. Please consult with your MobileDemand

representative before using something other than the appropriate RAM

Mount hardware.

Here is the D Ball mount, with 75mm VESA pattern that is used with this

Vehicle Dock.

We strongly recommend using a D‐Ball when mounting in a fork truck.

Highlighted VESA pattern threaded holes on the T1600 Vehicle Dock is used to mount the C or D Ball plate. The size of

the bolts for the back plate is M4 (4mm Metric). The length would depend on what you are mounting to.

There are many different ways to mount using hardware from RAM Mount

Let’s cover a regular fork truck, a regular vehicle and then a recreational vehicle.

Fork Truck

A vehicle holder can be mounted in a fork truck two different ways that we recommend. A Top Cage Mount, or

a Pinch Mount to a side rail.

3 5/18/2016


Here is a picture of a TOP Cage Mount. Be sure to really

tighten the bolts down tight.

We also recommend to order D Ball size parts for this. Also

use the appropriate D Arm that provides the driver with

comfortable use and an optimal view for driving. DO NOT LET

ANY PART OF THE TABLET OR DOCK EXTEND OUTSIDE THE

FRAME OF THE CAGE!

Small D‐Arm RAM‐D‐201U‐C

Overall Length = 5”

Regular Vehicle

When spec’ing out parts for a regular auto install, you need to know the basic pieces that are used.

1. The No‐Drill Base piece – This piece is different for each vehicle, and uses the passenger seat hardware to

mount the base plate.

2. Base Pole – This is the pole that mounts to the No‐Drill Base piece

3. Telescopic Pole – This is what the arm will attach to.

Here is a picture of a Rail Pinch Mount. They come in two sizes 2.5” and 4”.

Have the customer measure the rail to know which one to order.

We also recommend to order D Ball size parts for this. Also use the appropriate

D Arm that provides the driver with comfortable use and an optimal view for

driving. DO NOT LET ANY PART OF THE TABLET OR DOCK EXTEND OUTSIDE THE

FRAME OF THE CAGE!

Recreational Vehicle

Inserting the xTablet T1600 into the Vehicle Holder

The xTablet T1600 tablet has a block with contacts located at the bottom of the tablet, and two guide holes

used for alignment in the Vehicle Holder, and the Office Dock. It is important that these mate up correctly

when mounting into the Vehicle Holders’s guide pins, which ensure alignment with the pogo pins/contacts.

Here is the T1600 Vehicle Dock mounted on a demo plate. This shows the hold down latch, and the interface connector at the bottom center of the base.

Note : Newer versions of the Vehicle Dock have cable strain‐relief holes in the back of the dock above the I/O connectors. T

General Guidelines when Mounting a Vehicle Holder Install the Vehicle Holder in a non-obstructive, safe location within the vehicle cab/cage boundaries.

Avoid impacting the following:

► Vehicle operation

Firmly secure the dock to stay in place through vibration, shock, bumps, or vehicle accidents.

3. Secure the cable with wire ties for looks and safety.

4. Secure the black wire cable to the negative (ground) location in the vehicle battery lead.

5. Secure the red wire cable to a constantly active 12V (nominal) power connector or terminal in the fuse block - not

a terminal powered using a vehicle ignition key.

6. Attach the white connectors between the main power cable and the fused auto adapter assembly. Seat the

connection firmly to engage the connector locks (tabs).

8. Reconnect the vehicle battery.

9. Tighten the threaded connector to fasten the fused auto adapter assembly onto the connector on the back of the

vehicle cradle housing.

10. Loop and secure the cabling with wire ties. 11. Mount the Vehicle Dock and turn on the xTablet T1600. Verify the unit is running on vehicle power and not on

battery. You can do this by checking to see if the tablet is being charged or is running on battery down on the

taskbar by the clock.
