Motion DWM2355S Tilt and Rotate Mount
Product Description
The Tilt and Rotate Mount is designed for use with Motion mobile docks and mounting kits. The unit provides smooth movement around two axes, which allows the tablet to be easily positioned for the driver or passenger. The mount utilizes torque devices, so no manual locking in place is required. The Tilt and Rotate Mount with Swingaway-Ready options are part of a safety solution for Motion vehicle docks that restrict the use of the tablet display when facing the driver of a vehicle that is in motion. The Tilt and Rotate Mount provides unrestricted use when the tablet is turned to face the passenger. For more information, see http://www.motioncomputing.com/choose/spec_tilt_rotate_mount.htm. Tilt and Rotate Mount Swingaway Ready (Left-Hand Drive) units are designed for vehicles that have the steering wheel on the left (US, Canada, and Europe). Tilt and Rotate Mount Swingaway Ready (Right-Hand Drive) units are designed for vehicles that have the steering wheel on the right (UK, Australia).

Tilt and Rotate Mount Swingaway Ready (Left- and Right-Hand Drive)
The Swingaway-Ready versions of the Tilt and Rotate Mount contain a sensor
that can be connected to docking stations fitted with the Swingaway version of
the Blank-IT system. Once connected, this system prevents or restricts driver
access to the tablet display when the vehicle is in motion, but allows a
passenger to have full access. The sensor cable shown in the illustration
below is connected to the Blank-IT sensor cable that extends from the docking
station, which is shown on the following pages. Please see the notes on the
following pages for additional information on assembly to the dock and cable
placement
Assembly
Assembly to Vehicle Bracket (R12-Series)
The Tilt and Rotate Mount is designed to be fitted to a vehicle bracket with a single M8 screw. For installations using the R12-Series Secure Dock, the sensor cable (if present) should be fitted into the slot as shown before engaging the location lugs on the vehicle bracket. Once engaged, at the washers and M8 screw in the order shown and securely tighten with a 5mm A/F hex key.
Assembly to Dock (R12-Series)
Plug the Swingaway blank-it cable into the mating connector on the R12-Series
Secure Dock. The connector is located behind the backplate of the dock and can
be accessed by removing the four screws indicated 
Assembly to Vehicle Bracket (F5/C5 and CL Series)
For F5/C5 Series and CL Series dock installations, cut the plug of the sensor
wire (if present) and pass the sensor wire through the hole in the mounting
bracket before engaging the location lugs. Once engaged, at the washers and M8
screw in the order shown and securely tighten with a 5mm A/F hex key.

Cable Placement
Additional Information
- The sensor cables from the dock and the Tilt and Rotate Mount should be connected after the unit is fitted to the vehicle bracket (not included).
- Trim the cable length to allow for the full range of motion and connect to the docking station securely. The polarity of the sensor cables is unimportant.
- Soldering the sensor cables is preferred, but screw terminals or crimps are also suitable.
- Ensure the cable connection joint is properly insulated to prevent shorts and to protect the cable from accidental damage.
