1 About This Manual The PM-522 User’s Manual provides instruction for qualified personnel to follow when setting up a new PM-522 device. This document is intended for use by qualified personnel to compliment the training and expertise, not to replace it. Related Information Current information and manuals are available for download at the following website: http://www.ruggon.com Conventions Bolded or underlined text is used to emphasize the designated information. A Note is used to provide additional information for the device or settings. A Caution is used to warn against potential hazards or to caution against unsafe practices. A Warning is used to identify immediate hazards for property damage, injury or death.
Basic Safety Guidelines The following safety guidelines are intended to help protect the user from injury and prevent damage to the hardware. „ Do not place anything on the AC adapters power cable and make sure the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on. „ Do not cover the AC adaptor as it reduces the cooling „ Do not use the AC adapter while it is inside the carrying case. „ Use only the AC adapter, power cord, and batteries that are approved for use with the device. Use of another type of battery or AC adapter may cause risk of fire or explosion. „ If you use an extension cable with the AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged in to the extension cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable. „ If the device is moved between environments with very different temperature and/ or humidity ranges, condensation may form on or within the device. Avoid damaging the device by allowing sufficient time for the moisture to evaporate before using the device. „ When disconnecting cables, pull on the connector or on its strain relief loop, not on the cable itself. When pulling out or plugging in the connector, keep it evenly aligned to prevent bending the connector pins. Intended Use The PM-522 rugged tablet is equipped with multi-functional terminals for stationary and mobile applications in industrial environments such as logistics, warehousing, fleet management, manufacturing and the automotive industry. Read the safety guidelines throughoghly before starting any servicing on the device. Read the guidelines before powering up the device, and keep this document for later use. The operator is solely responsible for any damage resulting from unauthorized modifications to the device. Unintended Application Use The device is not designed for use in life-support systems or critical safety/security systems where system malfunction can lead to the direct or indirect endangerment of human life. The operator is fully responsible for using the device in these situations. Maintenance and Operation Overview The PM-522 is designed and manufactured according to strict controls and following the stated safety regulations. The following list identifies incorrect operating uses of the PM-522. Incorrect use of the PM-522 can lead to hardware damage, safety issues and possible risk to personnel health: „ The PM-522 is improperly or incorrectly installed; „ The PM-522 is under operation by untrained personnel; „ The PM-522 is not maintained as recommended; „ The PM-522 is not used as intended. 2
Safety To prevent injury and damage, read the following safety guidelines prior to operating the device. The manufacturer assumes no liability for any and all damages arising from misuse or noncompliance with these guidelines. Electrical Hazards Installing Easy-access Separators The PM-522 is not equipped with separators (switches) that are accessible from the outside. To quickly disconnect the device from the power supply in emergencies: Install an easy-access separator such as a switch or circuit breaker close to the device; Ensure that the separator separates all power cables. Only connect to SELV Circuits The PM-522 should only be connected to Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits. „ Do not connect/disconnect any cables during thunderstorms; „ Do not connect/disconnect the PM-522 cables during thunderstorms. Cleaning/Servicing: Power down the PM -522 „ Disconnect the PM-522 from power before cleaning or servicing it. Power Adapter Contact an authorized service personnel for repairs to the power pack. In the event of a blown fuse after replacing the fuse, contact an authorized service personnel to avoid electrical shock. Laying Cables „ Cables must be laid in accordance with local and state regulations. „ Ensure that the power cable is laid properly and properly secured. Use only Supplied Power Cables RuggON power cables meet industrial requirements for low-temperature flexibility, UV resistance, and oil resistance. Use only supplied power cables from RuggON. If other power cables are used, the following may apply: „ The operator is solely responsible for the resulting damage; „ All RuggON warranties are void. Environmental Hazards Do not use the PM-522 in locations near/with flammable gases or vapor. The use of electrical equipment in explosive environments can be dangerous. „ Turn off the device when near a gas station, fuel depot, chemical plant or a place where blasting operations take place. 3
Environmental Ambient Temperature The PM-522 operates on the basis of a passive cooling concept which internal waste heat is released via the housing surface and requires fresh airflow in the environment. „ Operating the PM-522 with no fresh cooling air may cause overheating and damage to the device. „ The operating environment should not be enclosed to prevent the cool air being heated by the heat waste from the device. Connecting and Disconnecting External Devices To prevent the considerable damage, the PM-522 and the external device should be disconnected from power when connecting/disconnecting excluding USB devices. Only Use Authorized Accessories Only use the supplied cables, power packs and other accessories that have been tested and approved by RuggON. Contact your local distributor for further information. Radio Transmissions Permitted Transmission Power Follow the national regulations for the maximum permitted transmission power. The operator is solely responsible for this type of operation. Radio Frequency Limited Locations Considering the radio frequency limitation in hospitals and aircraft, the PM-522 can only be installed with permission. Industrial computers may affect the function of implanted medical devices such as pacemakers and may cause malfunction. Always keep a distance of at least 20cm between a pacemaker and an industrial computer to minimize the risk of interference. Cleaning and Servicing „ Disconnect the PM-522 from power before cleaning or servicing. „ Never clean the PM-522 with compressed air, a pressure washer or a vacuum cleaner. „ If necessary, clean the housing of the PM-522 with a damp cloth. „ Clean the touch-screen with a nonabrasive cloth. 4

Dimensions The following image lists the device dimensions without add-ons (mm/inches). Figure 6. Front View Dimensions Figure 7. Side View Dimensions Figure 8. Rear View Dimensions Touch Screen Introduction Always use the point of the stylus for tapping or making strokes on the touch screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or sharp/abrasive object on the touch screen. The stylus is used as if it were a pen or pencil. Touch the screen with the tip of the stylus then remove the stylus from the screen. After each use, replace the stylus in the stylus holder for proper care and to preserve the life of the stylus. Using a stylus is similar to moving the mouse pointer then left-clicking icons on a desktop computer screen. The following actions are available through the use of the stylus: „ Open applications „ Choose commands in menu „ Select options in dialog box or drop-down menu „ Drag the scroll bar „ Drag across the text to select content „ Place the cursor in a text box before typing A right click is generated by tapping the mouse icon in the system tray. After tapping, the mouse icon highlights the right button of the icon in red. The next touch screen tap is treated as a right click. The mouse icon returns to the left button highlighted in red so subsequent taps are treated as left clicks. 16
