Warnings and Cautions
Warnings
Do NOT attempt to connect other electrical devices to the power wire harness of the Car Vision® System as this can cause an over current situation which can lead to electrical shock or fire.
If at any time you see or smell smoke coming from the Car Vision® System, stop driving, exit the vehicle and disconnect main power. Check the system and remove any damaged components before you resume normal vehicle operation.
Do NOT attach the wiring to any moving parts, across sharp edges or close to heat sources as this may cause shorting of the wires and may lead to a fire or electrical shock.
When installing the camera system be certain that all items are secure. Items that are not secure or mounted in an unstable manner can come loose and cause damage or personal injury.
When installing the system be sure to use only INTEC supplied brackets. The Car Vision insulated from the vehicle body. The supplied camera bracket provides the required insulation. Failure to do so could result in a fire and lead to property damage or personal injury.
Do NOT install the camera in any area that allows it to extend out past the vehicle as this can cause injury if it were to come in contact with people walking around the vehicle.
Never use fuses of a larger rating than those supplied with your Car Vision® System. Use of larger rated fuses can cause excessive current through the system if a short occurs and could lead to a fire.
® camera must be
Cautions
Confirm that the orientation of the image on the display is proper. Rear facing cameras should yield a mirror image, where items on the left of the vehicle appear on the left side of the monitor.
Before you begin driving, be sure the display controls are adjusted properly. This will avoid unnecessary distractions while driving.
Do NOT attempt to open or service your equipment. Removal of the product enclosure can lead to electrical shock.
You should not attempt to make any adjustments to the Car Vision® System while driving as this can lead to an accident. Only make adjustments when the vehicle is stopped.
Keep the Car Vision® System clean and free from dirt, snow and ice. If the camera glass or display panel becomes dirty, clean them before use. If they are covered with snow and/or ice, it should be cleared off before use. Failure to do so could lead to an accident.
When running a cable from the exterior to the interior of a vehicle, care needs to be taken to seal the entry point. Failure to do so could allow in exhaust fumes, other toxic gases or water.

Installation Instructions
Your Car Vision® System should be installed so the ignition switch or power switch that controls your vehicle’s power also provides power to the Car Vision® System. To be in a constant ready state, the Car Vision® System consumes a small amount of power even when it is in Standby mode. Therefore, connecting the system to a pre-ignition constant power source or directly to the battery can drain your vehicle battery.
The Car Vision® System is designed so that the rear mounted Car Vision® camera can have priority over any other camera or data input into the display provided the blue reverse gear power source lead is properly connected and the rear camera is connected to the Camera 1 position. (Please see the Wiring Diagram provided with your controller). When the vehicle is placed in reverse, the rear mounted camera will be activated and the picture it provides will be shown on the display screen. Always confirm proper operation before travel. In multiple camera systems, other camera views can also be triggered automatically within a priority scheme. If you have any questions regarding the proper installation or operation of your Car Vision® System please call INTEC @ 800-468-3254 (west) or 800-522-5989 (east)
Wiring Diagram
(Refer to the Wiring Diagram provided with your controller or see the Wiring Diagram in your monitors operation guide).
Camera Installation
For optimum field of view, mount the rear camera approximately 10 feet up on the vehicle from ground level so that the rear-most part of the vehicle is visible at the bottom of the display screen. If this is not possible, mount the camera in a fashion that will give the driver the best possible view of the area behind the vehicle while still aligning the rear-most part of the vehicle with the bottom of the display screen as a reference.
1. Establish a solid mounting location in the center of the vehicle using the guidelines above. Make sure that no part of the installation obstructs any lights or any part of the driver's view.
2. Position the camera(s) with the mounting bracket attached in the location where it will be mounted and turn on the system to check the field of view (you may have to reverse the camera’s mounting brack et
to obtain the proper angle). Be certain the field of view of all installed cameras provides adequate and appropriate coverage for your application.
3. Once the location and angle have been determined, use the camera bracket or bracket extension as a template to mark the position where the holes will be drilled and drill the holes. Make sure the area being drilled into is clear of all wires and other items before you begin drilling.
2.17"
1.18"
4.00"
4. Once the holes are drilled, install the camera mounting bracket and extension, if required, with the mounting bolts provided. You may need to purchase additional hardware if the hardware provided does not work in your application.
5. Mount the camera in the bracket with the hardware provided and align it so that the rear-most part of the vehicle is in line and viewable at the bottom of the display screen.
6. It is recommended that you apply an anti-galvanic compound to the camera mounting bolts before installation.
7. The XL connector is a twist to lock type. Simply align the keys on the cable connector with the ones on the camera connector and push in and twist until firmly seated.

Cable Installation
The following are general tips and precautions to keep in mind while routing the cable between the camera and controller or the controller and display. With the exception of Molex connectors (found on the CVU and CVXLP series cable harnesses), the entire cable is weatherproof and can withstand exposure to cold (down to -40 degrees F), rain, snow, dirt, etc. If you feel the environment in which the cable is exposed is extremely harsh, you can route the cable through a conduit or consult INTEC about our optional application cable harnesses for extreme temperature or environmentally challenging applications.
If exposed to the environment, the Molex connectors must be weatherproofed. A simple means is to use 1-inch diameter gum interior heat shrink tubing (available from INTEC) to cover the whole connector assembly. This will seal and protect the connector from direct moisture due to rain, snow, vehicle washing, etc. Weatherproof junction boxes, properly sealed, are another means. One should occasionally check the seals to make sure they remain intact. We recommend using the waterproof XL or H cables and connectors so that heat shrinking is not necessary.
DO NOT use electrical tape, slotted plastic conduit or silicon only as a weatherproofing. They may protect the connector for a short period of time but will quickly lose their ability to keep moisture away from the connector and pins.
Other cable installation hints include:
1) Do not attach the cable to moving vehicle parts.
2) Keep the cable at least 12 inches away from any significant source of heat.
3) Avoid running the cable along the same side of the chassis as the ABS wiring.
4) Route the cable where it is protected from road debris or overhead hazards.
5) Secure the cable so that vehicle vibration and shock do not loosen it. Tie the cable down approximately every 12 - 18 inches. Insulated P­clamps are recommended where appropriate.
6) Secure the cable on both sides of a pivot point allowing enough cable to extend fully but not so much as to cause snagging. Run the cable to avoid getting caught in the pivot point.
7) If you have excess cable, do not coil it too tightly; avoid crimping the cable.
8) Do not staple through the cable. Periodic checks of the camera system and its wiring
will help spot potential trouble areas before they result in a system failure. An excellent time to check is when the vehicle is in for routine maintenance.

Connector Alignment
There are three types of connectors commonly used in the camera system; Molex, Hirose, and Mil Spec. All of which have alignment marks or keys to insure correct alignment and proper installation.
Hirose Alignment
The Hirose panel mounted connector found on the display, controller, and certain cameras has an alignment mark arrow on the face of the connector as shown below. This same mark is found on the face of the inline cable mating jack when multi-part cable extensions are used.
XL (Mil Spec) Alignment
The XL (Mil Spec) panel mounted connector found on certain controllers and cameras has a 5 way keyed alignment as shown below. This same 5 way keyed alignment is found on the face of the inline cable mating jack when multi-part cable extensions are used.
Main Alignment Key
Inline cable jack shown below:
When making a connection, align the arrow on the outer shell of the mating cable connector (seen below) with the alignment arrow on the face of the mating connector and push until locked.
Inline cable jack shown below:
When making a connection, align the 5 keys on the connectors and turn the outer locking ring until locked. For XL cables with over molded back shells the arrow with the INTEC logo is inline with the main (top) alignment key.

Image Orientation
The orientation of the image displayed is critical to safe vehicle operation. An object on the right side of your vehicle needs to be seen on the right side of the displayed image.
Orientation Requirements
Generally, if your display is facing rearwards, you would want a Mirror image displayed from a camera facing rearward and a True image displayed from a camera facing forward. The image orientation of cameras on the right or left side of a vehicle depends on how far off of center they are facing. For example; a camera mounted on the right side at 90º off of the front would usually require a true image to be displayed. But set the camera to 91º off of the front and a mirror image may be required. Be sure to confirm the image(s) displayed are appropriate for your application before operating the vehicle.
How to Change Your Image
INTEC’s CVC Series cameras are set as default at the factory to display a mirror image when used with our CVD or CVM Series displays and monitors. Should you need to change the default image the CVC470HXL is equipped with a switch on the back side of the camera.
If you need to reverse the camera image you can do so by using a flat screwdriver and rotating the image reversal switch on the back of the camera.
The camera is by default set to “T” which when connected to and Intec display will provide a “Mirror” image.

Troubleshooting and Maintenance
Troubleshooting
Display shows a white or blue screen:
Check the cables for obvious damage (i.e. cuts, crimping) and the connectors for corrosion or pin damage. Make sure connectors are securely connected and free of debris.
If spares are available, swap out one item at a time; the camera, controller and associated cabling.
Display doesn’t light up – dark screen: Check the red and black wires at the controller to make sure they are properly connected to the vehicle power and ground. See if proper voltage is reaching the controller.
See if the fuses on the controller are okay. If not, replace with new fuses. The green LED on the controller will be illuminated if the individual power circuit is functioning properly. (See specification section of the controllers operation guide for the proper fuse rating).
Make sure connectors are securely connected and free of debris. Check the cable for obvious damage. There should be no continuity between any of the wires inside the cable. If shorting has occurred, the display and controller should always be returned for service and the cable replaced.
Picture is blurry, out of focus or distorted:
Check the camera and clean any dirt, dust or moisture found on the outside glass lens cover. If
any moisture is visible on the inside of the camera, remove and return the camera to INTEC for service.
Adjust display controls (i.e. brightness and contrasts) to see if picture clears up.
Check voltage on the red power wire to see if sufficient power is reaching the controller. Low voltage may cause the picture to blur or darken.
My shutter door will not open or close:
Check the camera and clean away any excessive dirt, debris or snow and ice found on the outside of the camera. If the area is clear and the shutter still does not function there may be a problem with the shutter mechanism, the camera cable, or the monitor or controller
I’ve experienced a short in my system and after correcting it my image is reversed (CVD Series Displays):
After a short, it may be necessary to reset the display software. (Refer to the displays Software Guide on the Installation and Operation CD for instructions on resetting the menu).
A continuous tone is heard through the remote and I have no remote control function (CVD Series Displays)::
Turn the vehicle power off for 10 seconds and turn it back on.
Check to make sure the remote control is connected properly.
Preventative Maintenance
The most effective way of reducing camera system failure is regular preventative maintenance. At least once every two weeks and/or every time the vehicle is in for its scheduled maintenance is recommended.
Although it would be difficult to cover every possible scenario, the following are some examples to look for:
1. Physical damage to the camera. Examples: cracked camera glass, bent front covers, damaged casing or brackets.
2. Dirt or moisture on the camera’s glass. Cleaning the camera’s glass should be done with a clean, soft cloth to prevent scratching. For excessive dirt build up, you may need to rinse the camera glass with water or glass cleaner first.
3. Scratched camera glass. Excessive scratches on the cameras glass can distort the image. Cameras with scratched glass should be returned to INTEC for service.
4. Moisture behind the camera glass. If this is found, simply removing the cover and wiping
off the glass will not solve the problem. Repairing the source of where the moisture is coming into the camera is the only way to prevent it from happening again. The camera should be returned to INTEC for service.
5. Damage to the cable and the connector seal. This includes the main cable as well as the camera and monitor pigtails. Examples: Cuts or abrasions in the cable, cuts in the connector seal or a connector seal that has come loose.

Page 12
Note: Connector sealing is not required in the XL and Hirose Camera Series.
6. Dirt on the display. Cleaning the display should be done with a clean, soft cloth to prevent scratching. For excessive dirt build up you can lightly dampen your cloth with water or glass cleaner.
7. Physical damage to the display, remote or controller and its power conductors. Examples: Cracked display casing, missing parts, exposed power wires.
8. Equipment that has come loose. Examples: Cables that are not secure, cameras, displays, and their brackets which may have come loose.
9. Educating the drivers on reporting minor problems before they become major problems. Example: Unreported moisture intrusion can result in the camera being damaged beyond repair.
By taking a few minutes to inspect the camera system on a regular basis you will ensure long-term reliability with minimum cost and down time.
Periodic checks of the camera system components and wiring will help spot potential trouble areas before they result in a system failure. An excellent time to check is each time the vehicle is in for routine maintenance.
