Guidelines for installing the in-vehicle computer
You must install an in-vehicle computer in order to view the license plate reads that are generated by
the AutoVu system.
The laptop’s power supply comes with cigarette wiring cabling which should be hard wired to the
LPR Processing Unit’s auxiliary 8A Max relay. This should be sufficient for one laptop connection. The
power supply is already fused; no additional fuse is required.
For instructions on how to install the mount for the in-vehicle computer, refer to your mount
manufacturer’s documentation.

About powering the in-vehicle computer
Use the 8A MAX relay on the LPR Processing Unit to control the power to the in-vehicle computer.
This way, the computer will receive power only when the ignition is on.
You must power the in-vehicle computer through the LPR Processing Unit’s auxiliary 8A MAX
relay. The laptop and the LPR Processing Unit will both react to the vehicle’s ignition signal (after
a programmable delay). The laptop will then run on its own battery (duration configurable in
Windows).
The following diagram shows a typical installation where power for the in-vehicle computer is
controlled by the LPR Processing Unit relay:
