About mounting the LPR Processing Unit
The LPR Processing Unit is the processing component of the SharpX system. It is sometimes referred
to as the
trunk unit
because it is typically installed in the vehicle's trunk. The best mounting location
will vary depending on the type of vehicle you are using and the location of any other hardware
installed in the vehicle.
You can mount the LPR Processing Unit anywhere inside the vehicle where it is safe, secure, and has
good airflow, such as in the trunk area or under the passenger seat. When planning an installation,
you must decide the best location and orientation for the LPR Processing Unit. The vertical and
horizontal mounting brackets are included with the LPR Processing Unit kit.
The following examples show the LPR Processing Unit mounted vertically and horizontally in the
trunk of the vehicle:

Best practices for mounting the LPR Processing Unit
The procedure for mounting the LPR Processing Unit in a vehicle depends on many factors. You must
consider space restrictions and protecting the unit from impact. You must also have the correct
mounting hardware to account for installations on carpet, metal, or plywood.
Consider the following best practices when planning the LPR Processing Unit installation.
General recommendations:
• The LPR Processing Unit must have adequate ventilation around the heat dissipation fins.
• Make sure that there is nothing vital (for example, break lines or the fuel tank) that could be
damaged when screwing the mounting bracket to the vehicle.
