Temperature Boundaries without an Unlisted IP Claim
K50 specifies operation from -10°C to 65°C, charging from 0°C to 55°C and storage from -20°C to 70°C. No IP or MIL rating is specified, so enclosure exposure, vibration and sealing require assessment at installation level.
Protection Boundary
No IP rating is specified.
Mechanical Scope
No drop or vibration value is specified.

SERIAL AND GPIO I/O
Serial, GPIO and Optional Vehicle-Bus Harness
Mini USB, USB-A, RS232, RS485, ACC and two-input/two-output GPIO form the specified wired base. CAN/J1939/OBD-II/FMS and RJ45 are selectable additions, while LTE bands and the GPS/GLONASS package must match the destination deployment.

Mini USB data
Serial / GPIO
RS232, RS485/RS422 and GPIO assignments for K50 belong in the connector schedule. The mapping belongs to the serial, gpio and optional vehicle-bus harness.
Connector presence does not add vehicle functions to K50; the approved pin map defines the delivered signal set.
RJ45, CVBS or AHD functions require the matching K50 connector and cable, so the physical port package is fixed with serial, GPIO and optional bus harness.

DC 8–36V POWER
DC 8–36V Power and Shutdown Planning
K50 accepts DC 8–36V and specifies ISO 7637-2 anti-surge wording together with a 1650mAh internal battery. Integrators should specify the fuse, grounding, ACC logic, cable length and software shutdown behavior for the target vehicle.

K50 Power Decisions
Vehicle Supply Profile
K50 power qualification should reproduce ignition-on, cranking and controlled-shutdown events against its DC 8–36V input, with the serial/GPIO workload connected.
The K50 wiring plan records ACC behavior and the software shutdown sequence so ignition events are handled by DC 8–36V ignition behavior.

COMPACT BREAKOUT INSTALLATION
Compact Mounting with Serviceable Breakout Cabling
The small 152 × 84.2 × 18.5mm housing can use an optional RAM mounting arrangement. Leave access to the breakout cable, protect the serial and GPIO branches from abrasion, and keep the display within the operator’s safe viewing and reach zone.

Service Access
K50 Installation Options
Primary Mount
Optional RAM mount; standard breakout cable for power, serial, GPIO and ACC
Cable Routing
The K50 cable route should avoid compression, rubbing surfaces and heat sources. The route should also preserve the compact mounting with serviceable breakout cabling.
Connector Clearance
The installation envelope must accommodate the final K50 dock and cable bend radius. This clearance supports the compact mounting with serviceable breakout cabling.
The K50 mount leaves enough clearance for device removal plus access to the applicable battery and connectors.

Bus Information Signal Node
The specified serial and GPIO channels support a bounded route-display or status-reporting integration.
Agricultural Machine Status Screen
K50 can be mounted in a protected equipment location for DC-powered monitoring, GPS/GLONASS and selected vehicle-bus data.
Public-Safety Vehicle Data Point
Cellular communication, positioning and a simple in-cabin interface support non-critical information tasks.
Optional Modules & Accessories
Select optional data capture modules, expansion features, and compatible accessories to match your deployment needs.
Mount, Adapter and Optional Identification Hardware
K50 options may include a RAM double-ball mount, car adapter, 8MP rear camera and NFC configuration. The quotation should identify the installed modules, bracket, cables and included quantities instead of treating every option as standard.
Optional
RAM 1-inch double-ball mount
The K50 layout must identify the attachment points and service envelope for RAM 1-inch double-ball mount before it enters the BOM.
Optional
Car adapter
The K50 electrical BOM identifies the exact Car adapter and the supply conditions under which it is used.
Optional
Optional 8MP rear camera
Optional 8MP rear camera is part of the K50 video package only with a defined channel, cable route and mounting location.
Optional
Optional NFC configuration
The K50 quotation defines Optional NFC configuration as a configuration item rather than assuming it is included in every unit.
