BEFORE INSTALLATION:

1. To prevent electrical shock, DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR CASE. There are potentially lethal voltages, inside the monitor. There are no user serviceable parts inside. If evidence of tampering is detected, the

Warranty will be considered void.

2. Keep the monitor away from leaking water, rain, moisture, etc. It is not waterproofed. Any moisture inside the monitor could cause extensive damage.

3. Use the thumbscrews to mount the monitor to the bracket.

**CAUTION**

1. Do not open the camera case. This will break the camera’s waterproof seal. If evidence of tampering is detected, the warranty will be considered void.

2. Do not mount the camera near the lower area of the vehicle (e.g. bumper). This reduces the view of camera and may cause physical damage to the camera.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

AOC-75 CAMERA

1. Attach camera bracket (See Figure 1) to upper portion of vehicle. Attachment point must be sturdy enough to support camera and bracket.

2. Attach camera to bracket using 8-32 UNC screws provided. Adjust angle as indicated in Figure 2. Use rear or end of bumper as reference point.

3. Wind deflector may be installed. This deflector is designed to reduce the build-up of dust, dirt and moisture on the camera lens. (See Figure

3).

AOM-58 MONITOR

1. Attach monitor inside vehicle in a location convenient to the driver (e.g. center of dash, overhead, or in dash).

2. Use a compression plate to attach the monitor bracket to the dash or overhead. (See Figure 4)

3. Adjust mounting angle of the monitor to allow driver to easily view the screen from all seat positions. (See Figure 5)

4. If necessary, snap sun visor into groove on front face of monitor. Press all (4) sides of the visor to snap it into place

OCA-80 CABLE

1. The camera-to-cable connection is waterproof. The cable-to-monitor connection is not waterproof. Be sure to orient the cable properly. The cylindrical end attaches to the camera. The rectangular box end attaches to the monitor. (See Figure 6)

2. Do not run the OCA80 cable over sharp edges or camera. Do not kink the cable. Keep the cable away from hot or rotating parts.

3. Place all excess cable in convoluted tubing.

4. Wire tie the cable securely.

MAINTENANCE

Remove dust and dirt with a damp soft cloth. Heavier dirt should be removed with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use strong cleaning agents containing gasoline, benzene, or alcohol. These substances may damage the exterior surface of the monitor.

**CAUTION**

1. Before drilling, be sure no cable or wiring is on the other side. Be sure to drill a 19mm/3/4” diameter hole only.

2. Feed as much cable as possible into the vehicle and clamp securely. This reduces the possibility of being hooked during operation of the vehicle.

3. Keep all cables away from HOT, ROTATING and ELECTRICALLY NOISY components.

4. To increase protection of cable, place all excess wire and extension cable in convoluted tubing.

5. Do not twist camera cable, do not cut pigtail, or cable.

WIRING CAMERA AND MONITOR

1. See wiring diagram for connections to ignition, ground, and backup circuit. (See Figure 6)

2. Wiring camera:

Drill a 19mm /3/4” diameter hole into the vehicle body near the camera and bracket. Connect camera connector to extension cable in vehicle. Push extra cable into vehicle, (be careful not to kink cable) and fit grommet into the hole. Apply sealant around grommet to increase resistance to water penetration.

3. Wiring monitor:

Insert extension cable into the camera #1 position if (2) cameras are used, be sure to mark each extension cable properly and plug second camera into cable #2 position. Bundle excess cable together using a cable tie or vinyl tape. This will avoid possible damage to cable during operation.

4. The red wire marked ACC is connected to an ignition power source, the black wire marked GND is connected to chassis ground, and the blue wire marked BACK is connected to the vehicle’s back up circuit.

FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION Monitor: See page 12.

1. Power Switch: STD. BY- Monitor operates when vehicle transmission is

switched into “reverse”.

On- Monitor and system operate when ignition switch is “ON”

2. Input Switch: “A” used mainly for rear mounted camera or as

specified by the installer. “B” used mainly for side mounted camera or as specified by the installer.

3. Day/Night Switch: Pre-set brightness and contrast levels optimized for

day and night operation.

4. Contrast: Variable control or contrast. Should be adjusted if the

“Day/Night” switch does not achieve the most desirable picture.

5. Brightness: Variable control of brightness. Should be adjusted if

the “Day/Night” switch does not achieve the most desirable picture.

6. Volume: Variable control of internal speaker and external

speaker volume. REAR OF MONITOR: See page 12.

1. Power Connection: PIN 1 not used

PIN 2 Ground- Black wire PIN 3 Reverse circuit- Blue wire PIN 4 not used PIN 5 battery back-up- Yellow wire PIN 6 +12VDC ignition- Red wire

2. Camera A input: Connection to camera extension cable

3. Camera B input: Connection to additional camera

extension cable

4. External speaker connection: Center pin is positive audio output, used

to disable the internal speaker and remotely mount a speaker for driver convenience.

CAMERA CONTROLS AND COMPONENTS

Camera: See page 13

1. Microphone- Waterproof microphone for audio pick up

2. Mirror/Normal Switch- Waterproof switch, to change camera image from a mirror view (rear of vehicle mounted), to normal view (side or front mounted camera). See Figure 7.

AFFIXING DISTANCE MARKERS TO THE MONITOR SCREEN

1. Clean monitor screen surface of fingerprints. Set the camera into the “DOWN” position. Place the distance indicators behind the vehicle at 3 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet from the back of the vehicle. (See Figure 8)

2. Attach the markers to the monitor screen over the images of the distance indicators. These markers represent a distance of 3 feet, 6 feet, and 9 feet from the back of the vehicle. (See Figure 8)

3. Affix the “STOP” marker on the monitor screen over the image of the rear view bumper to locate the rear bumper.

4. The monitor screen is now “calibrated” for distances behind the vehicle of 3 feet, 6 feet and 9 feet.
