INTRODUCTION Zonar Systems’ V3R™ 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.

GENERAL GUIDELINES Layout Drill Holes 1) 2) 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) V3R unit must be located a minimum of 8” 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. 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.

V3R MOUNTING V3R Mounting 1) Follow all General Guidelines as specified on page 6. 2) Suggested mounting areas: See page 14. 3) 4) Mount onto interior flat surface large enough to accommodate footprint. A) Box type trailers - Left side rooftop (preferred) or front vertical surface (alternate) 5) Avoid mounting equipment in difficult to access areas. B) Construction equipment - Protected from moving equipment, impact damage and high heat areas 6) If enclosing in a radio-shielded area (e.g.

V3R CABLE MANAGEMENT Electrical Requirements and Cabling Information 1) Follow all General Guidelines as specified on page 6. 2) It is strongly recommended to keep Zonar electrical connections outside "master kill" circuitry. Failing to do so may lead to inaccurate data (See caution notice this page). 3) Connecting V3R to negative/ground side "master kill" circuits (commonly found on construction equipment) may lead to false idle times.

WIRING GUIDELINES Wiring Guidelines for Zonar Power Cables The recommended method for power termination on the Zonar V3R system is the use of Add-a-Circuit fuse taps. Whenever possible, use fuse taps for power termination. If, due to the particular make/model/year of the vehicle being installed, fuse taps cannot be used then the poke and weave method of termination can be utilized. All wiring terminations MUST be fused regardless of Adda-Circuit or poke and weave.

ANTENNA INSTALLATION External GPS Antenna and Double Sided Adhesive (Optional) 1) Required when the V3R does not have an upward facing clear view of the open sky. 2) Suggested mounting area - as high on the vehicle as possible, facing upward. Protect from moving machinery and falling debris. 3) Follow all General Guidelines as specified on page 6. 4) May be magnetically mounted or mounted via optional aluminum plate and screw for non-magnetic surfaces, see Fig. 10-1.

SYSTEM CHECK System Check: 1) 2) 3) 4) Installers are required to perform a full functional check to verify proper installation and operation. A complete functional check includes Ground Traffic Control™ confirmation. Constant (RED wire) power check A. Remove inline fuse on constant power (Red wire) and measure voltage at red fuse holder. Switched power (White wire) power check A. Power to this lead should only be present when the engine is on and/or GPS tracking is desired.

TROUBLESHOOTING Common V3R™ issues White Wire (WW) / Switched Power Electrical Test The majority of all V3R issues fall into six broad categories: • GPS Signal Strength Issues. The V3R must be given a clear view to the open sky to operate correctly. If this cannot be accomplished an external GPS antenna with a clear view to the sky must be utilized. • Cellular Signal Strength Issues. The V3R cannot transmit in areas that are not covered by cellular towers (typically remote areas).
PAGE 17
TROUBLESHOOTING Power and Ground Electrical Tests Unexplained cold starts are the most serious issue because they represent a lack of integrity in the constant power supply to the device. Before any other issue can be resolved, it is important to ensure that the V3R has reliable constant power. Simply following this procedure may not be enough. However, if the equipment is acting up only under certain conditions (i.e.
