GENERAL GUIDLINES5Layout1) Mount all equipment in the interior of the vehicle. GPSantenna and RFID tags are the only Zonar componentsthat may be exposed to the outdoor elements.2) Do not install Zonar equipment below windows anddoors which open to the vehicles exterior to preventwater damage.3) Lay all components out prior to installation to check forproper cable length and interference issues.4) Avoid mounting equipment in difficult to access areas.5) Avoid mounting equipment in dirty, dusty, or dampareas. (e.g. near floors and entrance ways)Electrical1) Consult the vehicles manufacturer for specificinstallation guidelines. (Highly recommendedfor Multiplex electrical systems)2) All power leads (Red and White leads, GPS- PowerCable) must be connected to the vehicles protectedcircuitry (e.g. fuse panel, circuit breaker panel, protectedcircuits). Never electrically connect Zonar equipment tounprotected circuits. (e.g. directly to battery)3) It is also required that all power leads (Red and Whiteleads, GPS-Power Cable) be protected with a 3 to 5amp fuse and inline fuse holder (included) for optimalsystem protection.4) Electrical fuses should be installed as close to the sourceof power as possible.Drill Holes1) Capture all drill chips during drilling operations. Do notallow chips to fall onto equipment, furnishings, etc.2) Deburr all drill holes on both sides of drilled surface.Example deburr tool: See Fig. 5-1 or visithttp://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/3VB513) All drill holes must have a rubber grommet or similaranti-chaffing system installed to protect cable assemblies.(e.g. plastic conduit)4) Seal all penetration drill holes which may pass rain water.Cable Management1) Strain relieve and support all cable installations.2) Avoid sharp bends and tight radius installations ofcables.3) Avoid moving components. (e.g. doors, steering, shafts,handles, fans, etc.)4) Provide an adequate "Service Loops" i.e “cable slack”to allow for servicing of equipment.5) Avoid routing cables thru doors, windows, and otherpinch points.6) Avoid routing cables in high personnel traffic areas.7) Avoid routing antenna cables near radio and PAequipment.General Housekeeping1) Capture all drill chips during drilling operations. Do notallow drill chips to fall onto electrical equipment,furnishings, heating ducts, etc. Magnets, sticky tape,vacuums, physical barrier, etc. may all be used toaccomplish this task.2) Remove excess sealant. Sealant should bedebris/contaminant free (e.g. drill chips), consistent,and uniform in appearance. Clip excess wire tieprotrusions.Fig. 5-1 Typical Deburr Tool

OptionalBackingPlateZPass™ MOUNTING SYSTEM7Peel and Stick Adhesive Strip Method:1) Select a flat surface, large enough to accommodatethe reader.2) Clean and dry the surface before placing the mountingplate. To obtain optimum adhesion, the surface mustbe clean and dry. The best surface cleaning solvent isan isopropyl alcohol/water mixture (rubbing alcohol).3) Remove the backing from the peel and stick. Press andhold mounting position for 10 seconds to assure goodadhesion. See Fig.7-1Ram Mount:All hardware included.Optional backing plate (see Fig 7-2) - Used to provideadditional structural support when needed (e.g. MountingRam Mount to Vinyl or thin sheet metal dashboard)Mounting Options:1) Peel and stick. See Fig 7-12) Ram mount. See Fig 7-23) User supplied options (e.g. Velcro®)Suggested Mounting Areas:1) Follow all general guidelines on page 5.2) Typically mounted at passenger entrance/exit points ata convenient height and angle for passengers boardingand exiting the vehicle.3) Ensure location of installed ZPass does not block driverview, interfere with vehicle operation and loading/unloadingof passengers (e.g. snags coats, clothes, book bags,etc).4) To prevent degrading read range and accuracy, keepreader away from metal structures and electrical sourcesof interference (e.g. radios, wiring, switches and relays)as much as possible.Note: Verify placement acceptability with state DOT/LawEnforcement prior to installation.Fig. 7-1Fig. 7-2Fig. 7-3INFORMATIONLABELCableSupportClamps

Operational Notes:1) SD card must be inserted and fully seated for the unit to operate. 2X Red blinking LED indicates an issue with the SD card.2) Sleep Modes:A) Upon turning the vehicle engine off the ZPass unit LED will remain blue (Ready to scan cards) for approximate 10 minutes.B) After 10 minutes the reader will go into a low power savings mode (Blue LED will not be illuminated). The ZPass will stillscan cards in this mode (The unit will 1X blink green and beep to indicate a successful scan).C) 1 hour after the Blue LED extinguishes the unit will go into a deep sleep mode - Blue LED will not be illuminated and thereader will not scan cards (No Green 1X blink and beep). The vehicle engine must be restarted and ran for 1 minute tore-enable card scanning.3) Once a card is scanned, it cannot be rescanned for another 15 seconds.4) Requires GPS Firmware 97 or greater.5) Scan distance = 0-3"OPERATION &TROUBLESHOOTING10
