ANPR LUMO | installation guide
3 Installation
3.1 Safety precautions
The following safety precautions must be observed during normal use, service and repair.
The ANPR shall be connected to safety ground.
Disconnect the power supply before removing any parts.
The ANPR shall only be installed and serviced by qualified and trained personnel.
To be sure of safety, do not modify or add anything other than mentioned in this manual or indicated by NEDAP
N.V.
CAUTION: for continued protection against risk of fire, replace fuses only with the same type and rating.
The ANPR can be powered from a low power, Class 2 power supply, in compliance with local regulations or
through PoE.
The product is to be connected only to PoE networks without routing to the outside plant.
The ANPR is equipped with an 850nm Infrared illuminator. The human eye will not or slightly see this light
coming from the illuminator. Do not look into the ANPR lens directly from close range or for more than 100
seconds. Eyes can be damaged by not taking these precautions. During normal use of the ANPR at a vehicle
gate, reading plates, there is no risk to the public.
3.2 Mounting
The ANPR is intended for vehicle access control. Vehicles are identified by the number plate when approaching the
gate. Because the number plate recognition is very fast, a full stop is normally not necessary. The ANPR covers a
reading distance of 2 to 8 meters. The field of view is typically one lane wide. There are 2 recommended positions for
the ANPR.
3.2.1 Pole mounting
The ANPR is positioned directly behind or in front of the actual barrier onto a pole. In that case the ANPR can be best
positioned on a pole at maximum 4 meter height. In this position the number plate of the vehicle directly in front of the
barrier cannot be read anymore. So these vehicles need to be recognized in flow. Mounting the ANPR at 4 meter height
is here the best option. When overhead installation is an option, the ANPR can at best be installed in the center of the
lane, above the lane. Horizontal angle will be 0° in that case, which is good.
