If the SharpZ3 system uses a cellular connection to transmit plate reads and to update hotlists and permits, you must install a cellular antenna on the patrol vehicle.
Before you begin
- Install the base unit in the patrol vehicle.
- Lower the vehicle's headliner to gain access to the underside of the mounting location.
What you should know
- You can install the cellular antenna on the vehicle roof or trunk.
To complete these steps, you need the following:
- Hole saw or stepping drill bit
- For cable penetrations, you can use a stepping drill bit or you can use a fine-toothed hole saw designed for vehicle body panels which is depth-regulated and includes a pilot drill bit.
Procedure
-
Connect the antenna cable to the SMA connector on the ToughPad dock.
-
Peel off the adhesive liner from the back of the antenna.
