INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

MOUNTING LOCATION

1. Discuss with the vehicle owner a location in the vehicle that will allow viewing from the rear passenger seats but not be visible to the driver. The best location is usually slightly to the rear of the front seats in the area of the dome light.

2. Ensure that the chosen mounting location will not hinder vehicle operation or the driver’s view to the rear of the vehicle.

3. Access the rear of the headliner (remove the dome light assembly if necessary) to locate any obstructions. At this time check for and move any hidden wires, brackets, hoses or vehicle electronic components above the headliner that could be damaged during installation.

NOTE: At this time, locate any roof support brackets that

can be used for supporting the mounting bracket.

4. The headliner area chosen for mounting should be the flattest possible to reduce

the amount of cutting required to fit the trim panel to the contour of the headliner.

5. After choosing the optimum location, hold the trim panel up to the headliner to approximate the final mounting location, mark the headliner at the center point of the trim panel from the front to the rear of the vehicle.

6. Measure from either side of the vehicle to the previously marked center point to find the center point from left to right of the vehicle and mark it. This will be the point at which the cutout template will be positioned for cutting the headliner. Make sure it is in a location that will allow the four mounting posts to solidly attach to the vehicle roof.

Installation

Page 10

CUTTING THE HEADLINER

1. Insert a pick tool or pin through the cutout templates center point indicator and the center point mark on the headliner to align the cutout template with the center of the vehicle.

2. Sight down the center of the vehicle from the rear and align the template so it runs square to the vehicle and other interior components.

3. Make sure the arrows point toward the front of the vehicle. Attach the template to the headliner using masking tape.

4. Using both hands for control, cut the headliner with a razor or sharp knife, being careful not to slip. DO NOT cut past the heavy line marked CUT LINE. It is the maximum cut size when using the trim ring for installation. The only time the headliner should be cut past this line is when the monitor mount is being installed directly to the headliner without the use of the trim ring.

NOTE: For extra support it is suggested that the minimum

amount of the headliner be removed.

INSTALL THE MOUNTING PLATE

1. After removing the headliner cutout, thoroughly clean the inside sheet metal of the vehicle roof with a degreaser so no dust or residue remains. This will allow the mounting posts to securely adhere to the vehicle roof. Extremes in temperature can diminish the life of some adhesives allowing the overhead monitor to vibrate or come loose.

NOTE: When installing the mounting plate it is always

advisable to use any available metal roof supports in conjunction with the mounting posts.

2. Place the mounting plate against the vehicle roof or headliner and mark the location of the slotted holes that will give the most support. As with the template, make sure the position of the mounting bracket is square to the vehicle and interior components.

3. Using these marks as a guide, remove the double-stick tape from the mounting posts and apply to the vehicle roof. Position the mounting posts at the approximate center of the slotted holes. This will allow for maximum adjustability during the final mounting of the OHC100. After adhering the mounting posts to the vehicle roof it is recommended that a generous bead of silicone be applied to their base at the point of contact with the roof.

NOTE: Take care not to dimple the vehicle exterior or punc-

ture the roof sheet metal when tightening screws.

Page 11

4. Install the mounting bracket.

ROUTING THE CABLES AND WIRES

1. Remove the negative terminal from the battery or remove the fuses for any circuits necessary for this installation before proceeding.

2. Remove any body panels or brackets necessary for routing the wires and cables.

3. It is important to run the wires in such a way that they cannot be damaged or chafe against sharp metal during reassembly.

4. All wires should be loomed and properly fused at the source. Be sure to leave enough length in the wires and cables to reach the OHC100 connectors during mounting.

5. Extend the dome light wires if necessary to a length adequate for connecting to the OHC100's dome light wires.

NOTE: Information about wiring connections can be

found in the Wiring Guide section of this manual.

MOUNTING THE OHC100

1. Cut the trim ring to match the contour of the headliner.

2. Attach the video console to the trim panel using the 11--2.6 mm tape screws.

3. Check that the depths of the mounting posts are adequate by holding the fully assembled OHC100 up to the roof. It should be spaced so that the headliner will not distort when the OHC100 is tightly screwed to the mounting bracket.

4. If adjustment is necessary, the mounting posts can be cut to length.

5. Connect all wires and cables. Refer to Wiring Guide section of this manual.

6. Attach the OHC100 assembly to the mounting bracket using the four machine screws.

7. The trim panel should be flush to the headliner without gaps. If any gaps occur, adjust the length of the spacers and/or cut the trim panel to the correct shape.

8. Install the monitor into the detachable mounting bracket and fold into the closed position. Open and close the unit to test the operation.

VEHICLE-SPECIFIC AFTERMARKET INSTALLATION

The mini trim ring adapter has a raised adapter

portion designed to adapt the OHC100 to fit

into any aftermarket vehicle-specific overhead

console.

1. Follow the Installation Procedures (Mounting

Location, Cutting the Headliner, and Routing Cables and Wires) section outlined in this

guide.

2. Install the aftermarket vehicle-specific overhead console following the instructions included with the console.

3. If depth is an issue, attach the mini trim ring adapter to the overhead console (screws not provided).

4. Connect the cables and wires as described in the Wiring Guide section of this guide.

5. Attach the OHC100 assembly to the overhead console using the four machine screws provided.

Page 12

NOTE: Take care not to dimple the vehicle exterior or

puncture the roof sheet metal when tightening the screws.

The included mini trim ring adapter is for

installing the OHC100 to a flat headliner surface

that needs minimum space. It is also designed to

adapt the OHC100 to fit into vehicle-specific

overhead consoles available through aftermarket

mobile video distributors.

When using the OHC100 with an aftermarket

overhead console with inadequate mounting

depth, the 1" Mini trim ring adapter can be

modified by cutting out the mounting bracket

portion of the spacer and using it as a universal

1" mini trim ring adapter. this gives the installer

an additional depth of 1".

HEADLINER INSTALLATIONS

Remove the adapter portion of the mini trim

ring where indicated by the dotted line in the

diagram below.

1. Install the mounting posts.

2. Screw in the supplied metal plate to the mounting posts.

3. Attach the 1” mini trim ring adapter to the overhead console.

4. The OHC100 can now be installed following the Installation Procedure of this guide.

AFTER THE INSTALLATION

1. After completion of the video source installation, reconnect the battery or replace any fuses that were removed prior to installation.

2. Test the operation of the monitor door, dome lights, and remote control operation of the video source.

3. Remove any marks or dirt remaining on vehicle interior using a quality fabric cleaner and return the vehicle to the customer.

Accessory - The RED wire should be connected to a fused (+) 12 volt wire that turns on/off with the key.

■

Ground - The BLACK wire should be connected to a chassis ground, preferably scrap sheet metal.

■

AV Input - Connect to MCB1000 or AV source.

■
