Zonar Connect® Installation/User Guide Optional Camera Back-up Camera Information Zonar’s Zonar Connect Tablet is capable of automatically displaying video from 3rd party back-up cameras. The camera must only provide video feed when the vehicle is in reverse gear. The video feed must be turned off when the vehicle is not in reverse. Often this is accomplished by only supplying power to the back-up camera when the vehicle is in reverse. The Zonar Connect screen will automatically switch between computer and video display mode without user interaction. While hooking a video feed from a backup camera into the Zonar Connect may can provide a safety benefit, video feeds have the potential to be very distracting. Zonar strongly recommends that customers implement a thorough safety review before deciding to hook up any video feeds into the Zonar Connect. Customers assume all liability for use of any video feeds with the Zonar Connect. *Contact Zonar or visit http://docs.zonarsystems.net/ for questions and support.
Zonar Connect® Installation/User Guide General Guidelines Drill Holes 1) Do not drill into the Zonar Connect or the Zonar Connect dock 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. 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. INCORRECT • Bend radius too tight • Hole has sharp edges • Hole has no grommet
Zonar Connect® Installation/User Guide Mounting & Operation Mounting position considerations: 1) Verify placement acceptability with state DOT/Law Enforcement prior to installation. 2) Follow all general guidelines on page 12.
