7. General Guidelines
The following is list of general guidelines for the installation process. It is
important to read these before starting.
7.1. Layout
 V4C unit must be located a minimum of 25 cm (10 inches) from any person.
 Do not place Zonar RFID tags, cables, or other equipment in any location or position which
may compromise human or equipment safety.
 Verify placement acceptability with State DOT/Law enforcement prior to installation.
 V4C has a temperature range of -40˚C (-40˚F) to +85˚C (+185˚F). Do not mount V4C in hot
engine compartments or near hot exhaust components.
 Lay all components out prior to installation to check for proper cable length and
interference issues.
 Avoid mounting Zonar equipment, antennas and wiring near other radio equipment (for
example, two-way radios), PA equipment and high energy electrical sources (for example,
cables, relays, amplifiers, etc.).
7.2. Electrical
 Consult the vehicle’s manufacturer for specific installation guidelines. (HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED for Multiplex electrical systems)
 All power leads (red and white) must be connected to the vehicle’s protected circuitry (for
example, fuse panel, circuit breaker panel, protected circuits). Never electrically connect
Zonar equipment to unprotected circuits (for example, directly to battery).
 It is also required that all power leads (red and white) be protected with a 3 to 5 Amp fuse
and inline fuse holder (included) for optimal system protection.
 Electrical fuses should be installed as close as possible to the source of power.
 Do not connect to the power input until all other V4C cables have been connected.
7.3. Drill Holes
 Do not drill into the V4C unit. This will void the warranty.
 Capture all drill chips during drilling operations. Do not allow chips to fall onto equipment,
furnishings, etc.
 Deburr all drill holes on both sides of drilled surface. The following is an example of a
deburr tool:
 All drill holes must have a rubber grommet or similar anti-chaffing system installed to
protect cable assemblies (e.g., plastic conduit).
 Seal all penetration drill holes which may pass rainwater.
