Deployment / Use Cases
This DC car cradle charger serves field service technicians, delivery drivers, logistics operators, and mobile sales personnel who use Intermec CN50 or CN51 computers in vehicles. It maintains device charge during route-based work, ensuring computers remain operational throughout shifts without requiring stationary charging breaks.
Primary deployment scenarios include utility service vehicles where technicians need continuous computer access for work orders, delivery vans where drivers scan packages throughout routes, and mobile retail applications where sales representatives process transactions from vehicles. The charger supports extended mobile operations by leveraging vehicle power systems rather than limited battery capacity.
Field Service Operations
Enables technicians to keep Intermec computers charged while traveling between job sites, maintaining connectivity to dispatch systems and work order databases.
Logistics and Delivery
Supports package scanning and delivery confirmation throughout routes without battery depletion, improving driver efficiency and data capture reliability.
Physical Profile
The charger features a compact form factor measuring 3.10" wide, 2" deep, and 3.40" high, with an approximate weight of 242 grams. This size allows installation in various vehicle locations without obstructing driver visibility or cabin space. The design includes mounting options for secure attachment to vehicle surfaces, preventing movement during travel.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.40" (86.36 mm), 3.10" (78.74 mm), 2" (50.80 mm), 242 g. This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
