Zonar Systems Virtual Trainer™ Hardware Installation
Tips for Professional Installers
Zonar Systems’ equipment will provide years of reliable service if properly installed and maintained.
Zonar equipment is typically installed in heavy vehicle applications and is often subject to extreme
temperatures, dust, dirt, vibration, and shock. Proper installation is the critical first step to equipment
longevity and optimal performance.
This guide is meant to be a general guideline for the professional installer and technician. While we
attempt to point out the most common installation questions and issues; common sense, good
housekeeping procedures, attention to detail, safety adherence, and technical competence of the
professional installer is critical for a successful installation.
Please refer to your specific vehicle manufacturer guidelines for the installation of electrical components
and wiring.
A professional team of Zonar support technicians and engineers are available to answer your installation
questions. Contact Zonar at 1-877-843-3847 or by email at customercare@zonarsystems.com.
Thank you,
Jeff Wells
Field Service Manager - Zonar Systems

Important Notice
It is the Owner's sole responsibility to install and use the Zonar
products in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury
or property damage. For the purposes of this notice, "Owner",
"you" and "your" means the party (including any person authorized
by that party to use and/or install the Product) that has either: (a)
purchased the Product; or (b) leased the Product from Zonar
Systems, Inc or its related companies. The Owner of this product

choice, location, and installation of all components of the Product
is critical. If installation is not correct, the Product may not perform
at its designed potential or specifications. If in doubt, consult your
vehicle's manufacturer.

GENERAL GUIDELINES
Layout
1) V3 unit must be located a minimum of 8” from any person.
2) V3 has a temperature range of -40˚C (-40˚F) to +85˚C (+185˚F).
Do not mount V3 in hot engine compartments or near hot
exhaust components.
3) Lay all components out prior to installation to check for proper
cable length and interference issues.
4) Avoid mounting Zonar equipment, antennas and wiring near
other radio equipment (e.g.,two-way radios), PA equipment
and high energy electrical sources (e.g., cables, relays,
amplifiers, etc.).
Electrical
1) Consult the vehicle’s manufacturer for specific
installation guidelines. (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED for
Multiplex electrical systems)
2) All power leads (Red and White Power leads) must be
connected to the vehicles protected circuitry (e.g. fuse panel,
circuit breaker panel, protected circuits). Never electrically
connect Zonar equipment to unprotected circuits (e.g. directly
to battery).
3) It is also required that all power leads (Red and White Power
leads) be protected with a 3 to 5 amp fuse and inline fuse
holder (included) for optimal system protection.
4) Electrical fuses should be installed as close as possible to
the source of power.
Drill Holes
1) Do not drill into the V3 unit. This will void the warranty.
2) Capture all drill chips during drilling operations. Do not allow
chips to fall onto equipment, furnishings, etc.
3) Deburr all drill holes on both sides of drilled surface. Example
deburr tool:
4) All drill holes must have a rubber grommet or similar anti-
chaffing system installed to protect cable assemblies (e.g.
plastic conduit).
5) Seal all penetration drill holes which may pass rain water.
Cable Management
1) Strain relieve and support all cable installations.
2) Avoid sharp bends and tight radius installations of cables.
3) Avoid moving components (e.g. doors, steering shafts, handles,
fans, etc.).
4) Provide an adequate “Service Loop” i.e. “cable slack” to allow
for servicing of equipment.
5) Avoid routing cables thru doors, windows, and other pinch
points.
6) Avoid routing cables in high personnel traffic areas.
7) Avoid routing antenna cables near radio and PA equipment.
INCORRECT
• Bend radius too tight
• Hole has sharp edges
• Hole has no grommet
CORRECT
• Bend radius adequate
• Hole has grommet
General Housekeeping
1) Capture all drill chips during drilling operations. Do not allow
drill chips to fall onto electrical equipment, furnishings, heating
ducts, etc. Magnets, sticky tape, vacuums, physical barriers,
etc. may all be used to accomplish this task.
2) Remove excess sealant. Sealant should be debris/contaminant
free (e.g. drill chips), consistent, and uniform in appearance.
3) Clip excess wire tie protrusions.

VIRTUAL TRAINER Mounting Plate & Unit
1) Follow General Guideline on page 7.
2) Suggested mounting areas include horizontally
atop dashboard. Verify placement acceptability
with state DOT/law enforcement prior to installation.
See Fig 7-1.
3) Mount onto interior surface large enough to
accommodate mounting bracket footprint.
4) Do not install below windows or doors which open
to the vehicles exterior to prevent water damage.
5) Avoid mounting equipment in difficult to access
areas. Avoid mounting in areas which do not allow
for direct viewing.
6) Avoid mounting Zonar Equipment, antennas and
wiring near other radio equipment (e.g., two-way
radios), PA equipment and high energy electrical
sources (e.g., cables, relays, amplifiers, etc.).
7) Avoid mounting equipment in dirty, dusty, or damp
areas (e.g. near floors and entrance ways).

be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm (8
Inches) from all persons and must not be co-located or operating
in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. Users and
installers must be provided with antenna installation instructions
and transmitter operating conditions for satisfying RF exposure
compliance.
Use only supplied and approved antenna's. Use of unauthorized
antenna's or modifications could impair signal quality, void your

Industry Canada Compliance Statements
"This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having
a maximum gain of [5] dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly
prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna
impedance is [50] ohms."
"To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna
type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent is
isotropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required
for successful communication."
"The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna
is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess
of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety
Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada's website, www.hc-
sc.gc.ca/rpb."
