Installing the external Navigator box
To provide Patroller with more accurate geographic coordinates than a standard GPS device, you
can install the external Navigator box along with the other AutoVu components. Note that if the
LPR Processing Unit includes the AutoVu Navigation Option, you do not need to install the external
Navigator box to provide precise coordinates.
Before you begin
• Wires to connect the Navigator box to the vehicle's odometry, reverse, and ignition signals are not
included. You will need the following:
• ODO: 24 AWG to 16 AWG shielded, twisted pair (from VSS or Magneto)
• REV: 24 AWG to 16 AWG stranded conductor copper wire
• IGN : 24 AWG to 16 AWG stranded conductor copper wire
• Make sure the you have a flat, level surface to install the Navigator box on.
IMPORTANT
:
The Navigator box must be installed with the mounting ears down. It cannot
be mounted upside down (ears up) or on its side.
• Do not install the Navigator box where it will be in direct sunlight for an extended period of time.
• The connectors use tension clamps similar to the LPR Processing Unit connectors. Make sure you
know how to use the
What you should know
• The Navigator box is a hardware component that interfaces to the vehicles odometer, backup
lamps and ignition signal. It also incorporates a GPS receiver and gyroscope for tracking the
vehicles position and location.
• As the vehicle moves, the Navigator box monitors the distance traveled by counting the odometer
pulses, and tracks its location using the GPS receiver. The built in gyroscope tracks the vehicles
location in case the vehicle enters a tunnel or parking garage which will block the satellite signal.
• The Navigator box must be secure and protected from other equipment or moving parts. For
example, if you install it in the trunk, you should place it in an enclosure or elevated tray to
protect it from being damaged by other items in the trunk, or from water that may leak into the
trunk floor.
To install the Navigator box:
1 Connect the cables and wires at the rear of the Navigator box to your vehicle’s power, ignition,
and reverse signals as follows:
CAUTION
:
Do not connect the Navigator box directly to the vehicle’s battery. It should only
receive power when your vehicle’s engine is running.
