GENERAL GUIDLINES Layout Cable Management 1) 1) 2) 2) 3) 4) 5) Mount all equipment in the interior of the vehicle. GPS antenna and RFID tags are the only Zonar components that may be exposed to the outdoor elements. Do not install Zonar equipment below windows and doors which open to the vehicles exterior to prevent water damage. Lay all components out prior to installation to check for proper cable length and interference issues. Avoid mounting equipment in difficult to access areas. Avoid mounting equipment in dirty, dusty, or damp areas. (e.g. near floors and entrance ways) Electrical 1) 2) 3) 4) Consult the vehicles manufacturer for specific installation guidelines. (Highly recommended for Multiplex electrical systems) All power leads (Red and White leads, GPS- Power Cable) 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) It is also required that all power leads (Red and White leads, GPS-Power Cable) be protected with a 3 to 5 amp fuse and inline fuse holder (included) for optimal system protection. Electrical fuses should be installed as close to the source of power as possible. 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) Strain relieve and support all cable installations. Avoid sharp bends and tight radius installations of cables. Avoid moving components. (e.g. doors, steering, shafts, handles, fans, etc.) Provide an adequate "Service Loops" i.e “cable slack” to allow for servicing of equipment. Avoid routing cables thru doors, windows, and other pinch points. Avoid routing cables in high personnel traffic areas. Avoid routing antenna cables near radio and PA equipment. General Housekeeping 1) 2) 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 barrier, etc. may all be used to accomplish this task. Remove excess sealant. Sealant should be debris/contaminant free (e.g. drill chips), consistent, and uniform in appearance. Clip excess wire tie protrusions. Drill Holes 1) 2) 3) 4) Capture all drill chips during drilling operations. Do not allow chips to fall onto equipment, furnishings, etc. Deburr all drill holes on both sides of drilled surface. Example deburr tool: See Fig. 5-1 or visit http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/3VB51 All drill holes must have a rubber grommet or similar anti-chaffing system installed to protect cable assemblies. (e.g. plastic conduit) Seal all penetration drill holes which may pass rain water.

See Fig 7-1 2) Ram mount. See Fig 7-2 3) User supplied options (e.g. Velcro®) 1) 2) Suggested Mounting Areas: 1) Follow all general guidelines on page 5. 2) Typically mounted at passenger entrance/exit points at a convenient height and angle for passengers boarding and exiting the vehicle. 3) Ensure location of installed ZPass does not block driver view, interfere with vehicle operation and loading/unloading of passengers (e.g. snags coats, clothes, book bags, etc). 4) To prevent degrading read range and accuracy, keep reader away from metal structures and electrical sources of interference (e.g. radios, wiring, switches and relays) as much as possible. Note: Verify placement acceptability with state DOT/Law Enforcement prior to installation. 3) Select a flat surface, large enough to accommodate the reader. Clean and dry the surface before placing the mounting plate. To obtain optimum adhesion, the surface must be clean and dry. The best surface cleaning solvent is an isopropyl alcohol/water mixture (rubbing alcohol). Remove the backing from the peel and stick. Press and hold mounting position for 10 seconds to assure good adhesion. See Fig.7-1 Ram Mount: All hardware included. Optional backing plate (see Fig 7-2) - Used to provide additional structural support when needed (e.g. Mounting Ram Mount to Vinyl or thin sheet metal dashboard) Fig. 7-2 Fig. 7-1 INFORMATION LABEL Optional Backing Plate Fig. 7-3 Cable Support Clamps OPERATION & TROUBLESHOOTING Operation Color State Blue Solid Ready to scan cards Green 1X Blink & Audible Beep Successful card scan Red 2X Red blinking LED SD memory card missing or error Red 1X blink Synchronizing time Orange Description Solid Card reader disabled - occurs when vehicle speed is greater than 25 mph Solid Receiving Firmware update Notes Rescan of the same card requires 15 seconds between consecutive scans Reinsert or reseat SD card If continuous, see Troubleshooting Section (page 9) This takes approximately 3 minutes Post Install Checkout: 1) Start vehicle for one minute to establish GPS and Cellular connections 2) Reader LED should now be a steady blue to indicate the reader is ready to accept card scans 3 Scan card - Reader will 1X blink green and beep once to acknowledge a successful card scan 4) Reader LED will return to a solid blue state to indicate it is ready for additional scans 5) Verify successful card scan in Zonar's web based "ZPass" program.
