The three mounting points (screw holes) on the back of the Mesa 2 are size #4-40 UNC with a max depth of 3/16th inch (or 4.76 mm).

Our rugged handheld computers provide mounting mechanisms and cable restraints for connecting cables, antennas, external devices (sensors), vehicles, poles, and other items in a permanent or semi-permanent fashion for use in many different applications.

 

Device or Antenna Mount in or on the Field PC

A device or antenna can be mounted to the rugged handheld computer inside or on top of an extended cap or expansion pod/pack. Mounting inside may require connection through Bluetooth, a card slot, or an expansion port (rather than a standard serial or USB port); and the use of padding around the device or antenna (may be included with extended cap). Mounting on top may require the use of an additional strap or bracket (may be included with extended cap), and perhaps the modification of the device or antenna cable with possible routing through a cable channel on the Field PC. Please contact our Sales Team for additional information and assistance with setting up your custom device or antenna mounting application.

 

Rugged Pole or Vehicle Mounts

The Mesa Mobile Dock (PN 22330) with Vehicle / Pole Mount attachment (PN 22886) provides a good solution along with one of the RAM Mount stands described at the following web pages.

A lower cost option may be the Mesa Pole Clamp (PN 23306) instead of the dock.

Other pole or vehicle mounting bracket (such as clamp) options that securely hold the Field PC (such as Archer) are mentioned at the following webpages.

Vehicle Cab or Office Mounts

The Power Dock accessory for the Field PC provides methods for securely mounting the dock in a vehicle cab or in an office, but may require the purchase of additional screws and/or adapter plates. Contact our Sales Team for additional information.

Another source for mounts is RAM Mounting (http://www.ram-mount.com/).

A custom swivel claw bracket can be purchased for the Allegro Field PC. This is most often used in the cab of a combine for use with a HarvestMaster system, but can be purchased separately for use in other applications as well. Please contact our Sales Team for additional information.
