new VM-521 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
Intended Use
The VM-521 ultra-rugged vehicle mounted computer 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.
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 VM-521 is designed and manufactured according to strict controls and following the stated
safety regulations. The following list identifies incorrect operating uses of the VM-521. Incorrect
use of the VM-521 can lead to hardware damage, safety issues and possible risk to personnel
health:
„
The VM-521 is improperly or incorrectly installed;
„
The VM-521 is under operation by untrained personnel;
„
The VM-521 is not maintained as recommended;
„
The VM-521 is not used as intended.
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 VM-521 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 VM-521 should only be connected to Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) circuits.
„
Do not connect/disconnect any cables during thunderstorms;
„
Do not connect/disconnect the VM-521 cables during thunderstorms.
Cleaning/Servicing: Disconnect the VM-521 from Power
„
Disconnect the VM-521 from power before cleaning or servicing it.
Repeated Power Pack Fuse Blowing
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.
Charging the Vehicle Battery
When charging the vehicle battery,
„
The VM-521 must be disconnected from the vehicle battery;
„
Or ensure that the maximum permitted input voltage of the device is not exceeded.
Environmental Hazards
Do not use the VM-521 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.
Safety Guidelines for Mounting
Risk of Injury
The device may fall during transportation or installation and cause injury. It is recommended to
have at least two people when installing/uninstalling the device.
When the mounting bracket breaks
„
When installing the VM-521, be aware of the sudden breaks of the bracket which may cause
injury.
„
It is recommended to have proper safety measures in place such as security cables when
installing.
Positioning the VM-521 on a Vehicle
Inside the vehicle, if a keyboard and scanner need to be installed, make sure there’s enough
space and the vision of the driver is not blocked at all causes.
Installing Loudspeakers to the VM-521
Any audio equipment must be installed by a trained professional prior to the installation of the
device.
Environmental
Ambient Temperature
The VM-521 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 M-521 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 VM-521 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.
Installation Distance
To follow the limits set by the FCC for exposure to radio waves, install the VM-521 with the
minimum distance (20cm) between individuals and the PC antenna .
Radio Frequency Limited Locations
Considering the radio frequency limitation in hospitals and aircraft, the VM-521 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 VM-521 from power before cleaning or servicing.
„
Never clean the VM-521 with compressed air, a pressure washer or a vacuum cleaner.
„
If necessary, clean the housing of the VM-521 with a damp cloth.
„
Clean the touch-screen with a nonabrasive cloth.

Touch Screen
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 a pen. Touch the screen with the tip of the stylus then lift it up off the screen.
After each use, replace the stylus in the stylus holder for proper care and to preserve the life of the
stylus.
A stylus is also used as a mouse pointer with use of the left-clicking function. The stylus can be
used to:
„
Open applications
„
Choose commands in menu
„
Select options in dialogue 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.
A stylus replacement kit is available.

connected on the underside of the device using a bare leads power cord. The power switch is also
located on the underside of the device.
Only use original power supply cables as provided by RuggON.
If other power cables are used:
- The user is solely responsible for any resulting damage.
- All warranties with RuggON are voided.

To prevent damage or injury refer to the rating label on the device to determine the
voltage/power information rating (High-voltage: VM-521-HR; Low-voltage: VM-521LR) before connecting the power adapter and powering on the device.
The device is powered using the provided power adapter. Do not use any other adapter other than
the one provided with your device.
If your adapter is damaged, contact your representative to order a replacement adapter designed
for this device.
