General Guidelines. Zonar Systems V3R, SEJ-V3R

GENERAL GUIDELINES

Layout

1) V3R unit must be located a minimum of 8” from any person.

2) Do not place Zonar RFID tags, cables, or other equipment in any location or position which may compromise human or equipment safety.

3) Verify placement acceptability with State DOT/Law enforcement prior to installation.

4) V3R 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.

5) Lay all components out prior to installation to check for proper cable length and interference issues.

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.).

Electrical

1) Consult the vehicles 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 V3R 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 antichaffing 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

INCORRECT

• Bend radius too tight

• Hole has sharp edges

• Hole has no grommet

Do not open V3R housing. To do so will void the warranty and possibly lead to moisture intrusion.

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.

Clip excess wire tie protrusions.
