ITS101 Installation Manual
1. Introduction
This document describes how the ITS101 has to be installed and configured.
The ITS101 is an automated number plate recognition system for access control applications.
The end user is provided with usable license plate recognition data. The unit handles a number
of I/O's – for instance based on license plate black/white listing – for access control purposes.
The front end of the ITS101 consists of an ANPR camera. ANPR cameras differ from normal
CCTV cameras in that they are specifically designed to capture good, clear images of infrared-
reflective license plates in all weather conditions, day or night. In most conditions only the
license plate will be visible when using an ANPR camera, only on very sunny days other
elements of the surroundings will be visible. The ANPR camera can either be an analog camera
or an ARVOO digital camera.
The images from the ANPR camera are processed using the Intrada ANPR software that is
embedded onto the processing board. Images from the ANPR camera are scanned for license
plates and then optical character recognition algorithms are applied. The end product is license
plate recognition data in the form of a text string, packed in an XML protocol. Together with
this the board handles a number of I/O's for access control purposes.
The ITS101 is meant to be used for stop and go situations. This means that the vehicle must
come to a stand-still in order to give the ITS101 sufficient time to read the license plate.
The ITS101 is running a web service that can be accessed via a standard web browser. This
allows to configure the network, retrieve diagnostic information and perform firmware control.

ITS101 Installation Manual
2. Cabling
See below for an overview picture of the ITS101, which shows all interfaces and their
connectors.
This section describes the cabling of the unit. Before making any connections to the ITS101
make sure it is turned off.
The following interfaces/connections make use of green 45º screw terminal blocks:
–POWER
–RELAY
–RS-232
–GPIO
These 45º screw terminal blocks can be used for wires up to 1.3 mm² and have the following
specifications:
–Wire: 28-16AWG / 0.08-1.3 mm²
–Rising Cage Clamp
–Wire strip length: 5-6 mm
–Screw: M2, torque 0.2 Nm
–Pitch: 3.5 mm
2.1. Power
The ITS101's internal power supply is rated for an input voltage of +10 V to +14 V DC.
The recommended rating of an external 12 V DC power supply is 1.5 A (18 W).

The pin-out of the 3-pin Power connector (J11) is given in next table.
Pin (left to right) Name PCB Signal
1 + +10 .. +14 V DC
2 - GND
3 Chassis_GND (EARTH)
Table 1: Power connector
2.2. RELAY
The ITS101 has two small signal relay outputs. These relays are not eant for direct
switching of 110 or 220 V AC applications or high currents. They can be used to signal
the control-unit of a barrier or an outdoor 24 V DC signal-LED.
The pin-out of the 6-pin Relay connector (J10) is given in next table. See Figure 2 for a
detailed PCB picture of this relay connector (name on the PCB rev. A is by mistake RELAIS).

2.3. RS-232
An RS-232 port is optionally in use by the ANPR application. We refer to documentation of the
ANPR application.
The pin-out of the 6-pin RS-232 connector (J6) is given in next table.

2.4. GPIO
For detailed input and output specifications, see Chapter 6 Technical specifications.
The pin-out of the 6-pin GPIO connector (J4) is given in next table. See Figure 3 for a detailed
PCB picture of this GPIO connector.
Pin (left to right) Name PCB Signal
1 IN_0 Input 1. Slow input signals can
be seen on front by means of
LED-indication. Range: 5-12 V.
2 IN_1 Input 2. Slow input signals can
be seen on front by means of
LED-indication. Range: 5-12 V.
3 IN_COM Common for the inputs.
4 OUT_0 Output 1.
5 OUT_1 Output 2.
6 OUT_COM Common for the outputs.

2.4.1. I/O settings
Navigate to the I/O settings page of the web service for configuring the I/O behavior.
Explanation:
•The upper line can be used to add actions to events. For a list of possible events and
actions see below.
•Lines below the bold header are actions which are currently active. When the “del “
button is pushed the action line is removed.
Note: Actions are performed independent from each other. This means that when an output is
set high on one line, but set low on another line, the behavior is unknown.
Events:
•EVENT_LP: a license plate is recognized, either on list or not on list
•EVENT_LP_ONLIST: a license plate is recognized, with a hit on the black/white list
•EVENT_LP_NOT_ONLIST: a license plate is recognized, with no hit on the black/white
list
Actions:
•ACTION_OUT1_HI: set output 1 high
•ACTION_OUT1_LO: set output 1 lo
•ACTION_OUT2_HI: set output 2 high
•ACTION_OUT2_LO: set output 2 lo
•ACTION_RELAY1_HI: set relay 1 high
•ACTION_RELAY1_LO: set relay 1 lo
•ACTION_RELAY2_HI: set relay 2 high
•ACTION_RELAY2_LO: set relay 2 lo
See section 5.1 for on how to use GP input 0 or 1 for triggering the recognition
algorith .
2.5. Ethernet
The ITS101 is provided with an RJ-45 connector. A standard Cat5e patch cable will be
adequate for connection of the unit to a stand-alone computer or to a local area network.

ITS101 Installation Manual
See Figure 3 for a detailed PCB picture of this LAN connector. Also visible is the sticker with the
MAC-address for this specific unit.
2.6. ANPR Digital Interface
The ITS101 is provided with an ARVOO proprietary ANPR Digital Interface, for a direct
connection to the ARVOO ITS101-CAM digital camera. The default cable length with this
camera is 10 meters, this is also the maximum cable distance. Power for the camera is
supplied by the ITS101.
When you select the ANPR Digital Interface the ANPR CVBS interface (Analog video input, PAL/
NTSC) is not in use. The ANPR Digital Interface can be selected by selecting the proper
firmware. See chapter 5. for more information regarding firmware installation.
This interface makes also use of an RJ-45 connector.
Precaution: This interface is not compatible with any Ethernet standard. Connecting a patch
cable to an Ethernet switch will destroy the switch or the ITS101. Before connecting
the ITS101-CAM make sure the power to the ITS101 is turned off. The ITS101-CAM is not
hot pluggable.
2.7. ANPR CVBS Input
The ANPR CVBS input is a female BNC connector. This analog video input can accept any
standard PAL/NTSC camera. You can select the use of the ANPR CVBS input by activating the
proper firmware. The ANPR Digital Interface is turned off in this case. See chapter 5. for more
information regarding firmware installation.
