Cradle Charging 5 Terminals Zebra TC201 CRD-TCVT-5D

Zebra CRD-TCVT-5D – charging cradle for five TC201 terminals without Rugged Boot

The Zebra CRD-TCVT-5D is a Charge-Only ShareCradle designed for simultaneous charging of up to five Zebra TC201 mobile terminals without Rugged Boot .

The station offers five individual charging positions and is recommended for organizations managing fleets of mobile terminals in retail, warehouses, logistics, courier, transportation and field services.

By centralizing charging in a single station, devices can be kept organized and simultaneously ready for the next shift. The terminals should be inserted into the cradle in the standard configuration, without the Rugged Boot case mounted.

Simultaneous charging of five terminals

The CRD-TCVT-5D includes five dedicated slots for Zebra TC201 terminals. Devices can be charged simultaneously, reducing the time needed to prepare the fleet before starting work.

The station is useful for:

• loading terminals at the end of the shift;
• simultaneous preparation of devices for the next shift;
• organizing equipment in a centralized point;
• reducing the number of individual cables and adapters;
• management of terminals used by multiple operators;
• quick check of available devices.

Use without Rugged Boot

The ShareCradle positions are sized for Zebra TC201 terminals in the standard configuration. The Rugged Boot must be removed before inserting the device.

For correct use:

1. remove Rugged Boot from the terminal;
2. check if the contact area is clean;
3. insert the terminal into the dedicated position;
4. check the correct fixation in the cradle;
5. confirm the appearance of the charging indicator.

Charge-Only function

The Zebra CRD-TCVT-5D is intended for terminal charging only. The station does not provide USB sync, data transfer, or Ethernet connectivity.

It is recommended when the main objective is:

• centralized charging of terminals;
• preparing devices between shifts;
• keeping terminals in a fixed point;
• avoiding connecting cables directly to each device;
• reducing the number of individual sources;
• organizing a fleet of up to five terminals.

For data transfer or Ethernet connectivity, a ShareCradle variant that explicitly includes these functions must be selected.

Power supply sold separately

The Zebra PWR-BGA12V150W1WW 150 W power supply is required to use the CRD-TCVT-5D. The power supply is not included in the package of this code and must be ordered separately.

An AC cable compatible with the source and the electrical standard of the country where the station will be installed is also required.
