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.
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.
The multiplexer. • 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 (BLUE-CH1, WHITE-CH2, YELLOW-CH3) each represent one channel and will turn on their channel when the trigger wire is energized with 12V.
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. • There is a built-in voltage regulator for our systems which can handle 12-24 volts. Real consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.
