Introduction

Please read all of the installation instructions

carefully before installing the product. Improper

installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.

Congratulations on purchasing a Rear View Backup Camera

System! With this manual you will be able to properly install and

operate the unit.

The Backup Camera System is intended to be installed as a

supplement aid to your standard rear view mirror that already

exists in your vehicle. The Backup Camera System should not be

used as a substitute for the standard rear view mirror or for any

other mirror that exists in your vehicle.

In some jurisdictions, it is unlawful for a person to drive a

motor vehicle equipped with a TV viewer or screen located

forward of the back of the driver’s seat or in any location that

is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the

vehicle.

USAGE

•

• The Rear View Camera Sys-

tem is not intended for use during exstensive back-up maneuvers or backing into cross traffic or pedestrian walkways.

• Please, always remember,

the area displayed by the Rear View Camera System is limited. It does not display the entire panorama that is behind you.

Before Beginning Installation

Before drilling please check that no cable or wiring is on the other side of the wall. Please clamp all wires securely to reduce the possibility of them being damaged while vehicle is in use. Keep all cables away from hot or moving parts and electrical noisy components.

We recommend doing a benchmark test before installation to insure that all components are working properly.

Step 1: Choose the monitor and camera locations.

Step 2: Install all cables in vehicle, when necessary a 0.8 (20mm) hole should be drilled for passing camera cable through vehicles walls. Install split grommets where applicable.

Step 3: Once all cables and wiring have been properly routed, perform a system function test by temporarily connecting the system. If the system seems to not be operating properly see troubleshooting (page 22).

REAR VIEW SAFETY

Installation Guide

Cable

1. Be sure to position the cable properly. The camera cable uses aircraft grade connectors which means the camera cable can be exposed to all weather elements. Do not run the cable over sharp edges, do not kink the cable and keep away from HOT and rotating parts.

2. Fasten all cables and secure all excess cable.

Monitor

1. To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or to the headliner use self-tapping screws and/or the adhesive pad.

2. Attach monitor to mount, and adjust mounting angle to allow optimum driver viewing comfort. (see figure 1.1 on page 12)

Installation Guide

The Power Harness.

• To power the system connect

the power (RED) 12V+ wire to ignition power and the ground (BLACK) wire to chassis ground.

• These are the only wires

needed to power the entire system and all the cameras. Each camera can be seen at any time by simply pressing the power button and using the V1/2 button to toggle.

• The three positive trigger wires

(WHITE-CH1, BROWNCH2, BLUE-CH3) each represent one channel and will turn on their channel when the trigger wire is energized with 12V.

• "Camera 3" is the designated

backup channel. To have the the backup camera come on when you go into reverse, connect the BLUE wire to reverse power (or any power source that comes on only in reverse).

• The other channels can simi-

larly be triggered (i.e. side cameras can be triggered by the turn signals etc.)

• To automatically have camera

and monitor turn ON when vehicle activates, simply twist BLUE positive trigger 12V+ to Red Power line 12V+ and wire to ignition power.

Note: This setup will disable the menu in channel 3. To access the menu simply move to channel 1 or 2 and all the changes will apply to channel

3. Note: When the blue wire is

active it will have precedence over the other triggers. Therefore, if you wish to use multiple triggers, do not attach the blue trigger to constant power.

REAR VIEW SAFETY

Wiring Camera & Monitor

• Audio: There is audio on

channels 2 and 3. On channel 3 the blue trigger wire must be energized (12V) to activate the audio. On channel 2 the audio is always on.

• Grid-lines: The grid-lines are

also carried through the blue wire. To use the grid-lines for reversing, connect the blue wire to a reverse power.

Note: The camera and monitor can always be activated by manually pushing the power button on monitor. This is in addition to utilizing the positive triggers.

• There is a built-in voltage

regulator for our systems which can handle 12-24 volts. Real consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.

Note: If connecting power directly to battery, the camera is always ON and therefore can drain battery. Therefore it is recommended to connect power to an ignition switched accessory power source.
