Connecting the camera’s CAT5e cable to the LPR Processing Unit
When connecting SharpX cameras, you need to connect the CAT5e cable to the LPR Processing Unit.
The CAT5e wires are contained in the all-in-one cable.
To connect the CAT5e cable:
1 Strip the CAT5e cable you exposed when you
connected the camera cable to the LPR Processing
Make sure not to nick or cut the insulation of the interior wires.
2
Terminate the CAT5e connection
.
IMPORTANT
:
The SharpX CAT5e connection requires the T568B CAT5e wire pattern.
3 Connect the CAT5e cable to the Data Link port on the LPR Processing Unit.
Connecting power to the LPR Processing Unit
To power the LPR Processing Unit, you must connect it to the vehicle’s power. The LPR Processing
Unit requires a constant power source of 12 VDC protected with a 15A fuse.
Before you begin
• Have your 15A fuse ready (ATO/ATC in-line).
IMPORTANT
:
• These instructions do not replace your vehicle’s owner manual. If you are unsure about your
vehicle’s internal wiring, see your owner manual before continuing.
• Solder your connections and protect them with heat shrink tubing.
What you should know
• The system requires an
to turn on and off the LPR Processing Unit gracefully.
Simply shutting off the main power to the LPR Processing Unit can corrupt the LPR Processing
Unit and make the system inoperable.
• The LPR Processing Unit can be used to switch power for auxiliary devices, such as
, a modem, optional Navigator box, and wheel imaging cameras.
To connect the LPR Processing Unit to the vehicle's 12V power source:
1 Connect the wire from the LPR Processing Unit’s (+) terminal, through the 15A in-line fuse, to the
vehicle’s 12V power source (per12V).
NOTE:
• Install the fuse at the source of your vehicle’s 12V system tapping point. The LPR Processing
Unit is already protected internally by an electronic circuit breaker.
• If you are connecting the primary power lead from the battery, it must be fused within 2 inches
of the battery.
2 Label the primary wire at the fuse to help identify the circuit for future service.
3 Run the wire to the LPR Processing Unit location.
