Record the vehicle details
Capture the truck make, model, nominal voltage and any available accessory power outlet. Photograph the proposed mounting area and the cable route. Ask the truck supplier or qualified installation provider about approved attachment points and electrical connections. Do not drill or modify the vehicle on the strength of a terminal datasheet.
Check the complete power path
Nominal battery voltage is only the starting point. The installer must assess the terminal input range, switching transients, protection, isolation and ignition behaviour. Check connector type, cable length and whether a converter is needed. Specify the actual power components rather than assuming an existing lead can be reused.
Choose the mounting position
Review screen reach, line of sight, entry and exit, controls and clearance throughout vehicle movement. Account for the terminal and bracket weight, vibration and adjustment range. Confirm the exact mounting pattern and fixing hardware. A VESA pattern alone does not prove an existing mount is suitable.
Plan peripheral connections
List scanners, charging bases, keyboards, printers and external antennas. Record wired interfaces or Bluetooth requirements and where cables can be protected from snagging and movement. Check port access with the terminal in its final position, including any seals or connector covers required by the manufacturer.
Agree the handover test
Record start-up and shutdown behaviour, session recovery and scanner reconnects. Check the installation during an agreed operational trial. Assign responsibility for installation, electrical sign-off and later bracket or cable inspection. Include accessory part numbers and installation scope in the quotation so responsibilities are clear.
