CAUTIONS  
Installation  
To ensure that the Charger has proper cooling, do not place any padding or cushioning  
material under the unit or next to the back of the unit.  
Use of Shielded Data Cable  
Printers comply with international regulations governing radiated emissions when using fully  
shielded data cables. Data cables must be fully shielded and fitted with metal or metallized  
connector shells. Shielded data cables and connectors are required to prevent radiation  
and reception of electrical noise. Use of unshielded data cables may increase radiated  
emissions above the regulated limits.  
AC Power Considerations  
Many areas of the world have specific power requirements. The power supply of the AC  
charger has interchangeable primary (mains) adapters. Use the mains plug specific to the  
country or origin of use.

INTRODUCTION  
NOTE: Zebra Technologies Corporation is not liable for personal injury or  
damage to any equipment caused by the improper installation of this  
equipment to any power source.  
The Zebra RCLI-AC Charger system is designed to allow Zebra Technology QL or RW se-  
ries Mobile Printers to run off an A.C. power source. It does this by providing intelligent  
charging capabilities for the printer’s battery allowing it to run for prolonged periods of time  
off A.C. power .  
Follow these installation instructions closely to ensure safe, reliable performance of your QL  
series printer.  
The printer is powered with its own battery which is charged by the RCLI-AC Series  
Charger System which in turn runs off your facility’s A.C. power Your facility’s A.C. power  
delivery system must be properly installed and maintained to minimize power spikes and  
electrical “noise” .  
Faulty electrical components within your facility’s A.C. wiring system can create electrical  
noise severe enough to defeat the electrical filtering that is built into the printer. When this  
happens, printers and any  
data device communicat-  
ing to them can behave  
unpredictably.  
The RCLI-AC Charger is  
supplied with an output  
QL Series  
Printer  
A.C. Power module  
cable with a special plug  
for the printer’s charging  
port, and an input power  
module which plugs into  
an A.C. power source.

INTRODUCTION TO INSTALLATION  
Since each situation or equipment type may pose unique requirements, mounting hardware  
selection and mechanical installation shall be the responsibility of the installer. Zebra  
recommends using self-locking (ESN) nuts, bolts, and/or lock washers for installing the  
mount. The mount is pre- drilled for #6 (M3) hardware.  
NOTE: Hardware recommended to secure the Charger is not supplied  
in the kit. Recommended fasteners are #6-32 (3 mm) hex head or socket  
head bolts with flat washers, lock washers, nuts and/or locking nuts. You may  
optionally elect to drill and tap for a #6-32 or M3 screw.  
Your tasks are to:  
• Route and install the input power cable to the A.C. power source  
• Install the RCLI-AC Charger.  
• Decide where you will mount the printer, then proceed with the following  
instructions.  
• Connect the output cable from the Charger to the Printer’s battery charging  
connector.  
POWER CABLE ROUTING  
When Installing a Terminal  
You most likely will be installing a terminal at the same time. Follow the terminal  
manufacturer’s instructions for installing his unit. The printer and terminal usually are linked  
together with a data cable which typically is no longer than six feet (6 ft.).  
Some installations may require the terminal and printer to communicate via radio frequency  
(RF) rather than cables.  
Plan your installation with these considerations in mind, and locate the printer so that the  
operator can easily load printing media and operate the printer’s controls.  
CHARGER INSTALLATION  
The RCLI-AC Series Charger can be located on any convenient surface within 12” [30.5  
cm] of the printer. Do not locate near operator’s feet or where it could hinder operation of  
the system.  
pg. 6 of 10  
AM16905-001 Rev. A  
 
NOTE: Locate the Charger and route the cables out of the way of normal  
use.  
Refer to Figure 2 for Charger mounting dimensions. Recommended fasteners for the  
Charger are #6 [M3] bolts, flat washers and lock washers  
The Charger is pre-wired with a power module which plugs into the AC power source, and  
is connected by a 24” [61 cm] long cable to the charger unit. Splicing onto the input power  
cable is not recommended due to voltage drops encountered across splices and other  
discontinuities.  
CHARGER USE  
Once the charger is installed there is no user input needed for proper operation. The  
Charger has three indicators to allow the user to monitor the charging process and provide  
diagnostic information in case of a malfunction.  
Charger Indicators  
The three LED indicators on the Charger are interpreted Per Table 1:

INSTALLATION GUIDELINES  
CAUTION: Insure that the charger power module you are using for this  
installation is correctly configured for use with your facility’s A.C. Voltage.  
The charger’s power module has interchangeable A.C. Plugs to match most  
international standards, and will work within an input voltage range between  
100 and 240 V.A.C..  
CAUTION: Do not attempt to ‘hard wire’ the power module into the A.C. Power  
system, as it could result in improper printer operation or severe damage to  
either the printer and/or the charger. This will void the warranty.  
NOTE: It is the installer’s responsibility to insure correct installation. The  
manufacturer is not liable for damage to any equipment caused by improper  
installation or wiring of the charger, or damage resulting from use of the  
wrong charger for the intended application.  
NOTE: Do not lengthen the converter’s power cables or remove the cables’  
ferrites. Extending the cable and/or removing the ferrite will affect the  
converter’s reliability and radio frequency interference (RFI). Do not attach  
any ground wires to the converter’s housing.  
NOTE: Use care when attaching the converter’s power module to the power  
source.

General Guidelines  
• Route the Input Power from the general area where the unit(s) will be mounted.  
• Protect the cables with a snap-in bushing if they must be routed through a wall or  
sheet-metal enclosures.  
• Make sure that cable routing does not interfere with other equipment.  
• Make sure that cable routing does not invite damage to the cable.  
• Secure the input power cable at least every 12 inches [30 cm] throughout the cable  
run.  
FINISH THE INSTALLATION  
Charger Location  
Locate the Charger in a location convenient to the printer. Follow these guidelines:  
• Select a location that will avoid contact with the operator in case of an accident.  
• If you are using the Charger in conjunction with an MMQ4 Mobile Mount, place the  
Charger so that you can easily unplug the charger’s output cable from the Printer’s  
battery connection.  
• Route the charger’s output cable to prevent undue strain being placed on the connec-  
tion to the printer’s battery.  
• Make sure that cable routing does not invite damage to the cable.  
• Secure the Charger with #6 (3mm) hardware using the mounting flanges molded into  
the Charger cover. Ensure that the mounting hardware will not become loose due to  
vibration by using locking hardware or prevailing torque fasteners.

Connect the Printer  
• Plug the output cable from the Charger to the battery connection on the printer. (Re-  
fer to the QL Series Users Guide or the or RW 420 Users Guide for more informa-  
tion.) If you are using a MMQ4 Mobile mount in conjunction with a QL 420 Printer, it  
may be easier to plug in the charger connector before mounting the Printer to the  
Mobile Mount bracket.  
• Plug the power module into an A.C. power source for the charger on, and verify that  
the indicator lights on the Charger’s front panel are lit and the Charger is functioning  
properly. Refer to Table 1 for indicator display information.
