Zonar’s Zonar Connect Tablet Hardware Installation Tips
For Professional Installers
Zonar equipment will provide years of reliable service if properly installed and maintained. Zonar
equipment is typically installed in heavy vehicle applications and is often subjected 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 are critical for a successful installation.
Please refer to your specific vehicle manufacturer guidelines for the installation of electrical
components and wiring.
Details on operating the Zonar Connect and its built-in applications and software are given in this
Zonar Connect User’s Guide.
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
