RT5900 SERIES Mobile Mount Radio Data Terminal
General Information
The Mobile Mount Radio Data Terminal is a powerful real-time data collec-
tion computer for warehouse and automated material handling environ-
ments. The computer electronics, radio module, power converter, keyboard,
and the large display are all housed within a single metal container that is
designed to meet NEMA-3 standards.
Installation
Installs easily on motorized load handling equipment such as a forklift
truck. Then, adding a few command codes to your existing software is all
that is needed to get the system up and running in your operation.
Keyboard
The alphanumeric keyboard has extra large keys for use when wearing
gloves, while the large, back-lighted display is visible from a distance under
varied lighting conditions.
How it Works
Radio Data Terminals are often referred to as real-time devices. When you
enter data into the unit, the radio module transmits that information (or your
request for information) immediately to a base unit. From there, the in-
formation goes directly to a host computer. If the entry was a request for
information, the host computer transmits it back to the Radio Data Terminal
that made the request.
Real time processing assures that the most current and accurate information
is available to the host computer and to all mobile units.
