Page 11: General Characteristics
3 General Characteristics 3 General Characteristics 3.1 Features Tattile ANPR Mobile is an embedded camera produced by Tattile for automatic license plate reading. ANPR Mobile is suitable for Police enforcement, crime prevention, patrol enforcement and everywhere a portable solution is required. It is equipped with Megapixel sensor, able to read license plate in all light conditions. It combines multiple components in a compact solution, such as: sensor, infrared illuminator and processor with integrated OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to read automatically license Plate. The system does not require the installation of processing units on board of the cars, nor of physical connection between the cameras and the on board computer/ tablet. In fact, the license Plate analysis is done directly from the cameras installed on the roof, bonnet or trunk of the car and the data transmission occurs in Wi‐Fi mode. This way it is possible to speed up the installation, making ANPR Mobile easily transportable from a car to another, with a consequent costs reduction. Tattile new solution is equipped with a sophisticated software that enables to capture images in both gray scale and color, with the best automatic selection of acquisition parameters with multiple auto exposure. The ANPR Mobile devices are available in 3 version, depending on expected reading distance: ‐ Short distance: to satisfy the license plate reading in small parking lots, parallel parking and everywhere the plate to be read is at very closed distance from the camera (distance < 2,5m) ‐ Medium distance: to satisfy the license plate reading for curb side parking, diagonal parking, and everywhere it's needed to read license plates of vehicles parked at short‐medium distance from the camera (3m<distance<7m) ‐ Long distance: for reading plates at various distances while patrolling on the road (distance up to 25 meters) RMM_00029_09 11 / 42 ANPR Mobile... -

Page 36: Prior To Purchasing The Magnetic Plate, Following Points Need To Be Checked And Verified
8 Accessories 8.2.2 Prior to purchasing the magnetic plate, following points need to be checked and verified Does your car have a steel plate rooftop? Figure 155: Metallic roof Does your car have a sliding or a pop‐up style steel sunroof? If it does, would it be possible to fit the magnetic plate’s entire surface over the sliding/pop‐up style sunroof or car roof, without it protruding over the sides? This item is not suited to cars featuring sliding glass sunroofs! Figure 166: Sliding glass sunroofs Does your car avail of an absolutely flat rooftop surface or an adequately large flat rooftop area? Does the surface of magnetic plate entirely adhere to the rooftop? ... -
Page 37: Assembly
8 Accessories In the event of protruding relief profiles, grooves or other non‐flat rooftop features, a Magnetic Base fitting trial must be conducted to ensure that the entire Magnetic Base surface perfectly grips onto the rooftop surface. Figure 188: Verify mounting roof Has the vehicles rooftop varnish finish be touched up (due to damage caused by hail, transport, etc.)? This may be possible even if your car is new! Use of repair filler materials (e.g. tin, glass fibre, filler bases) will bear a considerable influence on efficient magnet grip force! When a car is new or if a used car has just been re‐varnished, the varnish may not yet be entirely dry whereby use of the Magnetic Base might lead to said varnish alterations. For any one of these cases, actual purchase or possible future use of the magnetic Magnetic Base is not recommended. 8.2.3 Assembly Responsibility for perfect magnetic plate operation and functions is guaranteed only if the entire magnetic surface accurately adheres to the vehicle rooftop. Prior to proceeding with rack assembly, ensure that the magnetic plates and the car rooftop area are both perfectly clean and dry! If not, maximised Base grip and prevention of rooftop abrasion hazards due to fine particles (dust/sand) cannot be guaranteed. Figure 199: Clean roof and Magnetic Plate RMM_00029_09 37 / 42 ANPR Mobile... - Page 38 8 Accessories Carry out the perfect grip test: if it is not possible to slip a sheet of paper in under the magnetic plate, the plate is assembled on correctly. Figure 200: Paper sheet test For safety reasons, the magnetic device must be fixed onto the car rooftop by means of the appropriate safety belt, as shown (per EC Directive 79/488). Slip the safety belt internally to the car and position the plastic stop device so that the buckle is as close up as possible to the car door. In case of rainy weather, sling the safety belt only through the door strut to avoid water seeping in. Figure 211: Safety Cable use Warning! If the Magnetic Base is assembled onto a sliding or a pop‐up style still sunroof, be sure never to open the sunroof. Figure 222: Prohibition of opening the sunroof RMM_00029_09 38 / 42 ANPR Mobile...

Page 39: Disassembly
8 Accessories 8.2.4 Disassembly You will note the magnetic plate has a disassembly knob. Figure 233: Dismantling of the Magnetic Base Carefully lift the plate off by manually prising up its higher rise area. Clean as instructed in the “Maintenance Tips” section then store the Magnetic base adequate place so that it will not be damaged. 8.2.5 Additional Directions Assemble the Magnetic Base only onto car rooftops. The magnetic plate must strictly be fitted only on absolutely clean and dry, snow, ice and frost free rooftop surfaces. Beware of the fact that in the event of accidental rack damages (i.e. if the magnetics plates crash to the floor) its magnetic properties may be subject to variations (due to deformation, scratches on the magnets, etc.) thus compromising safe device use. If the magnetic plates are put into direct contact with one another or are kept or held next to magnetic material, their magnetic force is considerably reduced. The magnetic plates can be influenced or damaged by electronic devices (such as MP3 players) or magnetic storage units (such as hard disks). Figure 244: Warning magnetic damage RMM_00029_09 39 / 42 ANPR Mobile... -
Page 40: Driving Tips
8 Accessories The magnetic plate can damage magnet‐sensible elements, units or devices such as credit cards, wristwatches, electronic data books, discs, magnetic computer bands, video and audio devices. Leaving it assembled on will avoid dirt and snow deposits and the formation of ice and frost on the car roof surface. If the weather conditions were suddenly to change, the formation of frost and/or snow, twilight setting in, etc. might make reassembly of the Magnetic Base more difficult. Assembly of the Magnetic Base in difficult conditions will not ensure perfect grip force and safe carriage of the ANPR Mobile leading to accidents (as well as subsequent damages!) The Magnetic Base should not be left assembled on the rooftop for weeks on end to avoid damaging the car paint finish. Furthermore, window cleaner additives might seep in under the magnetic plates with an ensuing chemical reaction causing the magnetic plate to unglue down onto the rooftop surface. Exposure to direct sunlight and high temperatures will intensify this type of reaction. The use of Magnetic Base will not entirely exclude or avoid damaging the car paint. Tough dust particles combined with car motion vibrations will possibly form opaque spots. Said spots cannot in any way be considered as being a Magnetic Base defect and do not justify or permit claims accordingly, whatsoever. After every Magnetic Base use session, it is important to rinse the Magnetic Base off with some warm water, especially after combined use of the car windscreen wipers. Warning! The insertion or application of any form of packing or thickness layer between the magnetic plates and the car rooftop is strictly prohibited. 8.2.6 Driving Tips Always remove the Magnetic Base prior to passing through car wash rollers.

8 Accessories 8.2.7 Maintenance Directions Notwithstanding the implementation of rust prevention and antirust protection measures as well as synthetic weatherproof materials, the Magnetic Base do happen to be affected by winter use. For safety and maintenance of your Magnetic Base, clean at regular intervals only by hand, using car detergent diluted in warm water. We recommend use of a car window cleaning additive: beware though that if the additives are much too aggressive, they might lead to Magnetic Base damage. Check regularly the safety screw tight, for fixing nuts to the Base 5 nm, for angle adjustment screws 3.5 nm. Figure 266: Check the screw tight When magnetic plates are removed after use, there might be a harmless film‐like formation on the rooftop surface that is eliminated either using a car detergent or with some liquid car wax or Soft‐Wax. Always keep the Magnetic Base stored away in clean and dry conditions Do not hang the plates up on walls or metal tubes. The two Magnetic Base must never be put into direct contact against one another (magnetic force reduction hazards). Do not store the Magnetic Base in the vicinity of devices sensible to magnets/affected by magnetism such as computers / CDs / disks / magnetic films / tape recorders / video recorders / electric power supply panels, etc. (to avoid and prevent ensuing damages!) The magnetic materials of the Base carriers may be subject to wear due to weather conditions or improper use. If damaged Magnetic Base can no longer be used. The Supplier recommends to periodically carry out a general check of the integrity of all parts of the Magnetic Base and its correct grip strength, at least every six months. ... -
