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.
Do not open V3R housing. To do so will void
the warranty and possibly lead to moisture
intrusion.
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 anti-
chaffing 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.
GENERAL GUIDELINES
6
INCORRECT
•
Bend radius too tight
•
Hole has sharp edges
•
Hole has no grommet
CORRECT
•
Bend radius adequate
•
Hole has grommet
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.
