CAMERA INSTALLATION

You may mount the camera using the license plate’s top or bottom mounting

bolts or screws. The Camera’s eld of view shall not obstructed in any way.

Some vehicles may have a hole available to pass the wire through, (Fig. 1) such as where the license plate light is mounted, or you can drill a hole close to where the power cable is attached to the camera. (Fig.2) Once you have

chosen where the cable will enter the vehicle’s

body, remove the camera. If you are able to use an existing opening, skip the next two steps. If you would like to use the “Wired” option instead of Wireless go to www.vr-3.com

Guia tipica para los cables de la camara

2. If you are going to drill a hole, choose a location as close to the camera where the power cable comes out of it. Before you drill a hole

you MUST CHECK and see WHAT IS BEHIND WHERE YOU ARE DRILLING. If there

are any vehicle components, such as electrical parts or fuel system components behind where you are drilling, you must take whatever precaution is necessary not to damage

them. Remove the license plate and camera

before drilling.

After you have drilled a hole, pass the power cables through the grommet into the vehicle. (Fig.3)

(Fig.4). You must use the grommet to prevent

the metal edge of the hole from cutting the power cable.

4. Next you’ll need to nd the vehicle’s reverse lights. Turn the vehicle’s ignition key to the

accessory position, engage the parking

brake and put the car in reverse. Look at the vehicle’s tail lights to see where the reverse

lights are located, they are the white lights.

To locate the reverse light’s 12V+ wire it will

be necessary to gain access to the rear of

the vehicle’s tail light.

For help locating the vehicle’s reverse light

circuit contact your vehicle’s manufacturer for vehicle specic wiring diagrams.

5. Once you have located the reverse light cir cuit you will have to route the camera’s power cable to that location. You must securely

fasten the power cable to prevent it from being caught on any vehicle component such

as the trunk hinge (Fig.5). Never route the

cable on the outside of the vehicle.

6. The reverse light sockets on most vehicles have two wires connected to them. Usually the negative wire is black and the positive wire is a colored wire. If you are uncertain about the wiring, you can use a 12 Volt test light available at most auto

parts stores to determine which is the positive wire.

a. Remove the reverse light socket from its housing, then remove the bulb from the

socket.

b. Engage the parking brake, turn the ignition key to the ON position, but do not start

the vehicle. Put the gear shift in the reverse position.

c. Attach the ground wire of the test light to the vehicle ground, then touch one of the

socket’s contacts with the positive lead.

d. If the test light lights up, then the wire corresponding to that contact is the positive

wire. If it doesn’t light up the opposite wire is the positive wire.

Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for the safe use of the test light.

7. After determining which wire is the positive and which is the negative, turn off the ignition key, then remove the battery’s negative cable.

Following the Scotch-LokTM instructions section, splice the Red wire using the supplied in-line Scotch-LokTM wire connectors to the reverse light’s positive (+) wire.

Installation

Use a set of slip joint pliers to squeeze the TAP and insure good connection.

9. Next splice the black wire of the camera’s power cable to the reverse light’s nega-

tive (-) wire or ground.

10.

Replace the reverse light bulb, then re-install the light socket. Secure all the wires with cable ties or electrical tape. Re-attach the negative battery cable to the battery.

11. Loosen the license plate bolts/screws, then

remove the rear license plate.

12. Insert the license plate bolts or screws through the bolt holes of the camera, then through the license plate.

13. Align the license plate and bolts or screws with the license plate mounting holes on vehicle, then tighten the license plate bolts or screws.

14. Adjust the angle of the camera by tilting the camera housing as shown in Fig.6. Check the image on the monitor, then adjust the camera if

needed.

15. Next you will need to choose a route for the camera’s power cable through the vehicle’s

body to the reverse light circuit.
