IMPORTANT
:
Protect the wire with a convolute wire loom and secure the loom from potential
damage from heat or abrasion.
4 Connect the wire from your LPR Processing Unit’s GND pole to your vehicle’s chassis for
grounding.
NOTE:
Ensure that the ground connection is clean and secure and that there is no paint impeding
the connection. Ground connections should also be located away from weld points. Use ring
terminals with incorporated, internal locking teeth at all grounding screw locations. This ensures
a positive ground connection. For a reliable connection, select ring terminals that are compatible
with the size of the stud, screw or bolt that will be used to attach them to the vehicle.

Connecting the LPR Processing Unit to the ignition signal
To power the LPR Processing Unit, you must connect it to the vehicle’s power and ignition signal.
When properly connected, the system will be supplied with the vehicle's 12 VDC power when the
ignition is on.
Before you begin
• Have your 0.5A fuse ready (in-line or in the OEM fuse box using a fuse tap adapter).
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.
What you should know
• You can obtain the ignition signal from the fuse box using a fuse tap adapter. This adapter allows
you to tap into the fused circuit and give a fused connection to the LPR Processing Unit.
To connect the LPR Processing Unit to the vehicle's ignition signal:
1 Identify the ignition signal from the fuse box. This should be a circuit that supplies 12V when the
key is switched to the RUN position, and is off when the key is in the OFF position.
a) With the key in the OFF position, use either a circuit tester or a volt meter to identify the fuses
that are 10A or less and that do not have power.
WARNING
:
Do not tap fuses that are related to the automatic braking system (ABS) or the
airbags.
b) Switch the key to the RUN position and identify which of those fuses now have power.
c) When you have identified a suitable fuse, cycle the power to ensure that the power is on when
the key is in the RUN position and off when the key is in the OFF position.
