Zonar Systems Hardware Installation Tips For Professional Installers  Zonar Systems equipment will provide years of reliable service if properly installed and maintained.  Zonar equipment is typically installed in heavy vehicle applications and is often subject to extreme temperatures, dust, dirt, vibration, and shock.  Proper installation is the critical first step to equipment longevity and optimal performance.  This guide is meant to be a general guideline for the professional installer and technician.  While we attempt to point out the most common installation questions and issues; common sense, good housekeeping procedures, attention to detail, safety adherence, and technical competence of the professional installer is critical for a successful installation.  Please refer to your specific vehicle manufacturer guidelines for the installation of electrical components and wiring.  A professional team of Zonar support technicians and engineers are available to answer your installation questions.  Contact Zonar at 1-877-843-3847 or by email at support@zonarsystems.com.

Antenna having a higher gain is strictly prohibited per regulations of Industry Canada. The required antenna impedance is [50] ohms.”  “To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent is otropically radiated power (EIRP) is not more than that required for successful communication.”  “The installer of this radio equipment must ensure that the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population; consult Safety Code 6, obtainable from Health Canada’s website, www.hc-sc.gc.ca/rpb”  Warning: (Part 15.21) FCC Compliance Statement (Part 15.19) Caution: RF Exposure (OET Bulletin 65) Industry Canada Compliance Statements
                                                         General Guidelines Layout  1)  Mount all equipment in the interior of the vehicle. GPS antenna and RFID tags are the only Zonar components that may be exposed to the outdoor elements. 2)  Do not install Zonar equipment below windows and doors which open to the vehicles exterior to prevent water damage. 3)  Lay all components out prior to installation to check for proper cable length and interference issues.  4)  Avoid mounting equipment in difficult to access areas. 5)  Avoid mounting equipment in dirty, dusty, or damp areas. (e.g. near floors and entrance ways)     6)  Consult the vehicles manufacturer for specific installation guidelines. (Highly recommended for Multiplex electrical systems) 7)  All power leads (Red and White leads, GPS-Power Cable) 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) 8)  It is also required that all power leads (Red and White leads, GPS-Power Cable) be protected with a 3 to 5 amp fuse and inline fuse holder (included) for optimal system protection.  Drill Holes  9)  Capture all drill chips during drilling operations. Do not allow chips to fall onto equipment, furnishings, etc. 10)  Deburr all drill holes on both sides of drilled surface.   Example deburr tool:  http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/3VB51 11)  All drill holes must have a rubber grommet or similar anti-chaffing system installed to protect cable assemblies. (e.g. plastic conduit) 12)  Seal all penetration drill holes which may pass rain water. Cable Management  13)   Strain relief and support all cable installations. 14)  Avoid sharp bends and tight radius installations of cables. 15)  Avoid moving components. (e.g. doors, steering, shafts, handles, fans, etc.) 16)   Provide an adequate “Service Loops” i.e “cable slack” to allow for servicing of equipment. 17)  Avoid routing cables thru doors, windows, and other pinch points. 18)  Avoid routing cables in high personnel traffic areas. 19)  Avoid routing antenna cables near radio and PA equipment.  General Housekeeping  20)  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 barrier, etc. may all be used to accomplish this task. 21)  Remove excess sealant. Sealant should be debris/contaminant free (e.g. drill chips), consistent, and uniform in appearance. Clip excess wire tie protrusions. Electrical

                            6)  The White wire must be connected to a power source that is active only when Zpass reader is required to read Zpass RFID cards.    Example:  Door-Open (regardless of motor power or ignition key switch position)  Cables ZPassTM Power Cable 1)      Follow all General Guidelines as specified on page 4.  2)      All power leads (Red and White leads, GPS-Power  Cable) 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 leads, GPS-Power Cable) be protected with a 3 to 5 amp fuse and inline fuse holder (included) for optimal system protection.  4)    Vehicles equipped with “noise kill” switches (late model school buses) – Do Not wire any Zonar equipment to the “noise kill” circuitry.  5) Power Bundle wiring – 4 Pin, 3 wires    a. Red – Constant DC (+8VDC - +30VDC, dependent         on system type)    b. Black – Ground    c. White – Switched Power i.  Zpass reader operation desired:  +8VDC - +30VDC, dependent on system type ii  Zpass operation not needed / desired:  0VDC. Do not connect to constant hot – battery will drain during long periods of vehicle inactivity)
