Introduction

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 ex-

ists 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 for-

ward of the back of the driver’s seat or in any location that is vis-

ible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the

vehicle.

REAR VIEW SAFETY

Safety Information

USAGE

• The Rear View Camera System

is designed to help the driver safely detect people and/or objects helping to avoid damage or injury. However, you the driver, must use it properly. Use of this system is not a substitute for safe, proper or legal driving.

• Never back up while looking

at the monitor alone. You should always check behind and around the vehicle when backing up, in the same way as you would if the vehicle did not have the Rear View

Reverse With Confidence

™

Camera System. If you back up while looking only at the monitor, you may cause damage or injury. Always back up slowly.

• The Rear View Camera

System 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

Camera

1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered on vehicle.

2. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided and adjust the angle.

Cable

1. Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation 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)

Wiring Camera & Monitor

• When installing a ONE (1)

camera setup, connect camera extension cable from the rear view camera to port labeled “backup” (most systems port #3) Connect red 12V+ wire to ignition power source and black wire 12V- to chassis ground. Do not use white and yellow wires.

• The blue wire is the REVERSE

trigger wire. In typical rear-view installations, connecting this wire to the vehicle’s backup light circuit will activate the rear-view image whenever the vehicle shifts into reverse.

• Before drilling, be sure no cable

or wire is on the other side.

• Feed as much cable as possible

into vehicle & clamp securely. This reduces the possibility of cable being hooked or snagged.

• Camera: Drill a 20mm (0.8in)

diameter hole into vehicle body near the camera and bracket. Insert camera cable into vehicle (be careful not to kink

cable) and fit grommet into hole. Apply sealant around grommet to increase resistance to water penetration. Connect camera to the camera extension cable which runs inside the vehicle.

• The camera system can be wired

to be powered “ON” the entire time the vehicle is on. This is typical in RV and some ;commercial applications.

• 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.

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.

Wiring Camera & Monitor

• Audio works on two ports of

multiplexer and positive

must be triggered for

triggers audio to operate. These are port

#3 labeled “backup” (blue

trigger) and port #2 labeled “DVD” (white trig-ger).

• When installing a TWO (2)

camera setup, use ports #3 and #2 and use positive triggers Blue and White.

• There is a built-in voltage

regulator for our systems which can handle 9-32 volts. Real

F 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 which can be an accessory switch/fuse line and black wire 12V- to chassis ground.

F Infrared technology built

into camera IRs are activated automatically according to the

consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.

• When installing all THREE (3)

cameras, use all three ports and connect all positive triggers to appropriate connections.

• To activate grid lines connect

the blue trigger to a power source. If you want the grid lines to be on when reversing, connect the blue trigger to reverse power. If you want the grid lines to be on all the time connect the blue trigger to a constant power.

lighting conditions.

F When using the postive trigger

functions (blue, yellow & white wires) each trigger function needs to work on a seperate 12V+ source i.e. the Yellow and White wires can be wired to a turn signal circuit etc.

F Grid lines function can be

turned on/off manually from menu. (See page 14)
