1. Introduction 

The Mobiltex OVPC2 is a general-purpose body-worn device designed for fleet communications.  Operation of the 
OVPC2 is determined by application software specific to customer requirements and it is not addressed in this 
document. 
 
The OVPC2 is a body-worn device, carried in a holster (Figure 1) attached to the user’s belt.  This holster integrates 
RF shielding for user protection and is also designed to carry an additional lightweight hand-held data terminal that 
may be used for data collection and record maintenance purposes. 
 

Note:  Contact Mobiltex Data Ltd. for a list of approved hand-held data terminal devices. 

 

 

 
The OVPC2 has one serial IrDA port for communication with external equipment including the hand-held data 
terminal device and the Mobiltex CHG3 charging system.  When the OVPC2 detects the presence of a hand-held 
data terminal device or the Mobiltex charger via the charging pins (two metal contacts on the top of the housing), the 
OVPC2 initiates communications and will transfer data appropriate to the customer’s application.  
 
An external RS232 port allows the user to upgrade the firmware of the OVPC2 and also may allow general data 
record maintenance or device configuration.  An internal serial expansion port allows optional peripherals to be 
installed inside the OVPC2 housing.   In addition, an on/off switch and four bi-color LEDs provide means for user 
interaction with the device. 
 
An integrated Mobitex radio provides wide-area coverage for the purpose of data communications back to a central 
host (application specific).  Integrated power management hardware automatically places the OVPC2 in a reduced 
power consumption mode to conserve battery life during periods of inactivity, or as determined by the customer’s 
application.
