Introduction
The VRC 6940 is a rugged computer terminal that can be installed
in a vehicle or mounted on a wall or workbench. It allows you to
gather information quickly, easily and accurately using the
keyboard or an attached scanner. The VRC 6940 transfers the
information to a base station Access Point (AP) through a Symbol
Spectrum24® radio network. Then the AP transmits that
information to a host computer for processing.
VRC 6940 terminals can run a variety of software applications. For
help in using an application at your facility, refer to the application
documentation or ask your System Administrator.

Providing Power: Vehicle Installations
VRC 6940 terminals can be powered by:
•
•
12V or 24V gas-powered vehicles
battery-powered vehicles, up to 60 volts
To provide power to a vehicle-installed VRC 6940:
1. Locate your vehicle’s power source. Always connect a VRC
6940 terminal to a continuous or unswitched power source.
Installation Note: Power Sources
The ideal location for connecting a VRC 6940 External DC power cable
would be a fused power source on the vehicle’s power distribution panel. If
no fused power source is available, you can connect the terminal directly to
a vehicle battery. In this case, Symbol recommends that you use an in-line
fuse holder and 5A slow-blow fuse. The fuse protects your vehicle from an
electrical short on the power cable.
2. Prepare the External DC power cable. One end of the external DC power cable fits into the terminal’s DC Power connector. The other end has no connector.

add a fuse-holder and 5 Amp fuse to the External DC
power cable:
i. Strip back six inches of the cable jacket.
ii. Cut about 5” from the red power wire and strip 3/8” insulation from the wire.
iii. Strip 3/8” insulation from the fuse-holder wire.
iv. Twist the stripped wire ends together and splice them
using a twist-on nylon wire connector.
v. Make sure the fuse holder contains a 5 Amp slowblow fuse. Wrap the wires neatly, as necessary.

b. Route the External DC power cable from the terminal location to the connection point for your vehicle’s power
source.
! Installation Note: Cable Routing Caution !
The means of routing and securing the External DC power cable from
the terminal to the vehicle power source is extremely important. Hazards associated with improper wiring can be severe.
To avoid unintentional contact between the wire and any sharp edges,
provide the cable with proper bushings and clamping where it passes
through openings. If the wire is subjected to sharp surfaces and excess
engine vibration, the wiring harness insulation can wear away, causing
a short between the bare wire and chassis. This can start a fire.
c. Prepare the cable termination: Strip 3/8” of insulation
from the two wire ends and terminate them with a connector that matches your vehicle’s requirements. See the
Installation Note below.
Connect the red wire to the vehicle power source. Connect the black wire to a vehicle ground wire or chassis
ground.
Installation Note: Cable Termination
How the cable terminates depends on your vehicle. If your vehicle has
a power output connector, then attach a mating connector to the end
of the power cable. You may be able to connect to a fuse panel with a
commercially available connector. If your vehicle has no power output
connector, attach a ring terminal (for a battery post) or blade terminal
connector (for a fuse panel).
Consult your vehicle Owner’s Manual for information on how to access
your vehicle’s power supply.
d. Connect the External DC power cable to your vehicle
power source.
3. Insert the terminal end of the External DC power cable into
the terminal’s Power Connector. Align the red dot on the end
of the power cable with the red dot on the Power Connector.

WARNING
A Lead Acid battery can leak Hydrogen gas. A spark anywhere near the battery can cause it to explode. Always make
your final connection to power as far away from the battery
as possible, i.e., connect the power cable to the battery first,
then connect it to the terminal.
Providing Power: Wall or Workbench Installations
For wall or bench-mounted terminals, or for operating a terminal
while away from a vehicle, you can operate an VRC 6940 from an
AC universal power supply. You need the AC universal power
supply, an AC line cable, and a DC power cable as listed on page
9.
To provide power from an AC source:
1. Insert the AC line cable into the AC connector on the AC universal power supply.
2. Plug the other end of the AC line cable into an AC wall outlet.
3. Insert the DC power cable into the DC connector on the AC
universal power supply.
4. Plug the other end of the cable into the terminal’s Power
Connector.
Installation and the Internal Battery
A terminal’s internal battery may be depleted when you first install
it. The internal battery charges itself from the terminal’s main
power supply (DC or AC).
If the main power supply is stable, you can plug in the terminal and
use it immediately. If the main power supply is not stable, there
may be power interruptions that cause the terminal to reset itself
during its first few hours of operation.
If the terminal resets itself, you may lose unsaved data. To avoid
this, we recommend that you plug in the terminal and allow it to
charge for two hours before using it.
16
Q u i c k
R e f e r e n c e
It takes 48 hours to fully charge the internal battery. A fully charged
internal battery maintains data for up to 72 hours if the unit is
disconnected from its main power source. This time is reduced if
the radio is in a mode where it maintains continuous
communication with a host.

VRC 694x Filtered DC Power Cable
This document describes how to prepare and use a VRC 69X0 Filtered DC Power cable
to provide power to a VRC 69X0 terminal. The VRC 6940 terminal is a rugged, vehicle-mounted computer. For more
information on the terminal itself, see the VRC 6940 Quick Reference Guide (Symbol p/n 72-37640-XX).
The cable has two end that come out of a central Mounting Block, as shown below. The DC Power connector fits
into the DC Power connector on the VRC 69X0. The Cable End terminates in two wires, a black ground wire, and a
red power wire that has been prepared with an in-line fuse-holder.

Red Power Wire
With In-line
Fuse Holder and
5A slow-blow fuse
Cable End
Preparing and Connecting the Cable
To prepare the Filtered DC Power cable for use with a VRC 69X0:
1. Add a connector to the Cable End: Strip 3/8” of insulation from the two wire ends and terminate them with a
connector that matches your vehicle’s requirements. Connect the red wire to the vehicle power source. Connect the black wire to a vehicle ground wire or chassis ground.
2. Select a location for the Mounting Block and mount it securely with #8 screws. Make sure the DC Power connector end reaches the terminal and the prepared Cable End reaches the DC power source.
Installation Note: Cable Termination
How you terminate the cable depends on the vehicle. If the vehicle has a power output connector, use
a mating connector. You may be able to connect to a fuse panel with a commercially available connector. If your vehicle has no power output connector, use a ring terminal (for a battery post) or blade terminal connector (for a fuse panel). See your vehicle Owner’s Manual for more information.
3. Route the cable from the terminal location to the connection point for your DC power source.
4. Insert the cable’s DC Power connector into the terminal’s DC Power Connector. Align the red dot on the end of
the power cable with the red dot on the Power Connector.
WARNING
A Lead Acid battery can leak Hydrogen gas. A spark anywhere near the battery can cause it to explode. Always
make your final connection to power as far away from the battery as possible, i.e., connect the power cable to
the battery first, then connect it to the terminal.
! Installation Note: Cable Routing Caution !
The means of routing and securing this cable from the terminal to the vehicle power source is extremely
important. Hazards associated with improper wiring can be severe. To avoid unintentional contact between the wire and any sharp edges, use proper bushings and clamping where the cable passes through
openings. If the wire is subjected to sharp surfaces and excess engine vibration, the wiring harness insulation can wear away, causing a short between the bare wire and chassis. This can start a fire.
