Connection KCX801

Complete connection Carry out the following connection if all voltages are available at the installation

Rear reversing signal pick-up

Pickup reversing signal front

Connection with front camera

Functionality of the switching electronics
After the 12V reversing signal is no longer present on the blue cable, the video output is switched to the input for a front camera for 10 seconds. During this time, the orange cable has 12V. After these 10 seconds the system switches off. The delay of 10 seconds only works if the circuit at the input of the front camera detects a video signal. If the circuit at the input of the front camera does not detect a video signal, only a delay of 5 seconds will work

Connection KCX801-ECO

Wiring

Functions of the cable loops

If no ignition is connected to the red cable, but a reversing signal has been found in the car (rear area), please note:
After the camera has been installed, the reversing signal must be connected to the blue additional cable (on the EV-X802). In the next step, connect the red and blue cables to the connection cable. Please connect the black line on the connection cable to ground (monitor or body).
