This guide assumes a GPS unit is being installed as well. A GPS unit is required for correct operation of the 2010 handheld and vehicle mount.
For more information, reference the relevant article:
Installation
- Mount onto interior flat surface large enough to accommodate footprint.
- Do not install below windows or doors which open to the vehicles exterior to prevent water damage.
- Avoid mounting equipment in difficult to access areas.
- Avoid mounting equipment in dirty, dusty, or damp areas (e.g. near floors and entrance ways).
- Mount vertically to ensure good electrical connection between 2010 and VM.
- Ensure 2010 unit can be easily inserted / removed without interference.
- Mount high in vehicle; avoid driver’s leg and arm rest areas. This also minimizes the chance of the mount being used as a holder for non Zonar equipment.(e.g. glasses, pens, pencils, etc.).
- Retention (Adhesive or Screw):
- Adhesive install part number 80133: Clean and dry the surface before placing the mounting plate. To obtain optimum adhesion, the surface must be clean and dry. The best surface cleaning solvent is an isopropyl alcohol/water mixture (rubbing alcohol). Remove the backing from the peel and stick. Press and hold mounting position for 10 seconds to assure good adhesion.
Adhesive optional (not included in order). Use red rectangular adhesive if you deem necessary.
- Screw install: Only use Zonar supplied hardware. Use of non Zonar screws generally leads to interference issues and scratching of the 2010 unit. Use preventative measures to capture & remove metallic chips that are created during the installation of self-tapping screws. Metallic chips may short the contact pins inside the Vehicle Mount (VM) that mate with the contact pins of the 2010.
Capture – Insert clean paper towel or clean shop towel dam inside VM when installing self-tapping screws. Carefully remove temporary dam to minimize the possibility of dropping metallic chips into the Vehicle Mount (VM).
Chip removal – After dam removal, follow-up with stick magnet (must be electrically insulated to prevent shorting pins), compressed canned air, or mini-vac to ensure no chips remain.
- Adhesive install part number 80133: Clean and dry the surface before placing the mounting plate. To obtain optimum adhesion, the surface must be clean and dry. The best surface cleaning solvent is an isopropyl alcohol/water mixture (rubbing alcohol). Remove the backing from the peel and stick. Press and hold mounting position for 10 seconds to assure good adhesion.
- Drill, deburr and grommet cable through hole as required.

Tags
- Refer to Tag Types and Placement Guidelines for general information regarding tag placement.
- Whenever possible, avoid installing tags in cold/wet/damp conditions. Ideal application range is 70°F to 100°F (21°C to 38°C).
- Clean and dry the surface prior to placement. To obtain optimum adhesion, the surface must be clean and dry. The best surface cleaning solvent is an isopropyl alcohol/water mixture (rubbing alcohol). Remove the backing from the peel and stick. Press and hold mounting position for 10 seconds to assure good adhesion.
- Minimum spacing between tags is 3” to reduce the likelihood of read interference.
- Locate Zonar tags well out of the read range of Zonar’s ZPass™ reader (if installed).
