Technical description

Function description

The camera image is evaluated via the control unit in the camera. Any VRU entering the detection area (region of interest = ROI) is detected and marked on the monitor with a red movement rectangle. The rectangle moves with the detected object and serves as an optical signal. Optionally, an acoustic warning device (buzzer, included in the scope of delivery) can be added. The system BVS7 1000RHD includes the M75LXAHD monitor, which is preferably mounted on the left A-pillar and provides the driver with images of the situation next to the vehicle.
The camera has the following features:

• CMOS camera with VRU detection function
• Minimized false detection due to adaptive algorithm
• Defined active and inactive image areas (fig. 4)
• Detection and indication of VRU while moving or stationary only
• Optical signaling by dynamic rectangular indicator
• Acoustic warning signal
• Speed-dependent activation via GPS receiver
• Automatic activation of the monitor
• Display elements of the camera image

Target group
The mechanical and electrical installation and setup of the device must be performed by a qualified technician who has demonstrated skill and knowledge related to the construction and operation of automotive equipment and install locations, and who is familiar with the applicable regulations of the country in which the equipment is to be installed and/or used, and has received safety training to identify and avoid the hazards involved.

Installing the camera
See Fig. 2 to fig. 9
Note the following before installation (change acceptance):

• Depending on country-specific regulations, the system BVS71000RHD – CAM1000RHD + M75LXAHD may require approval by a testing laboratory (e.g., DEKRA, TÜV).
• Observe the manufacturer’s installation guidelines.
• The device may only be put into operation if the user is aware of the risks and dangers resulting from the use of the device.

Note the following during installation:

• Note the detection range dependent on the position of the camera:
• Operating mode A (red letter “A” on screen) for camera positions with a mounting height from 2m to 3m (fig. 2 to fig. 4)
• Operating mode B (red letter “B” on screen) for camera positions with a mounting height from 3m to 4m (fig. 3 to fig. 4)

Install the extension base if the box body blocks the view to the detection zone (fig. 5). Install the camera as shown in fig. 6 to Fig. 8. Mount the monitor as shown in fig. 9, preferably in the area of the left A-pillar, 30° to the viewing axis straight ahead. The NOR/ MIR selection of the monitor is triggered by the yellow/orange wires.

Connecting the camera

• • As far as possible, use original ducts for laying the cables, or other suitable options such as paneling edges, ventilation grilles or dummy plugs. If no openings are available, you must drill holes for the respective cables. Check beforehand that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to emerge.
  • Wherever possible, lay cables inside the vehicle as they are better protected there than outside.
  • If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well fastened (use additional cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).
  • To prevent damage to the cables when laying them, ensure that they are always far enough away from hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, driveshafts, light systems, fans, heaters, etc.).
  • Attach the cables securely in the vehicle to prevent tripping hazards. This can be performed by using cable binders, insulating tape or gluing in place with adhesives.
  • Protect every through-hole made in the bodywork against water penetration by suitable measures, e.g. by using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the cable sleeve with sealant.

It is important for the compliant operation of the system that it cannot be switched off manually. The camera must therefore be connected via camera input CAM3 of the M75LX AHD monitor. The corresponding blue control cable activates or deactivates the monitor. The following connections must be implemented:

1. The picture settings provided by the monitor must be completed before connecting the blue cables. After installation the keys of the monitor are blocked and no settings are available.
2. Connect the blue wire of the camera system cable with the blue CAM3 control cable of the monitor. This connection is used to switch the monitor on/off.
3. The system will automatically be activated and deactivated via the GPS signal at approx. 40 km/h.

Using the camera Initial start of the camera
On the initial start-up, the GPS receiver must save the satellite position. This may take up to 5 minutes.

Detection range
The detection range of the camera is divided into two zones (fig. 4):

• Visible area: depending on mounting height in operating mode A or B
• Active area (indicated by the red field appearing after activation of the system)

NOTE
The view of the camera into the detection area must not be obscured by vehicle parts. Objects may not be detected.

Test indicator when switching on See fig. a
The video system switches to standby mode soon as the ignition is switched on. The system is activated by a speed of less than 40 km/h. The camera image appears. The center cross indicator allows the camera to be correctly aligned. The center cross (1) is the optical center line of the camera and should be placed vertically below the camera position. The active area (2) is marked as a red area in the video for 6 seconds. As soon as a VRU enters the active area, the dynamic rectangular indicator (3) appears in the display. If the audible signal is connected, a beep will sound simultaneously.

Operation at day and night
The monitor M75LXAHD from the BSV71000RHD system offers adjustment possibilities to adapt the image to day and night operation. These settings must be made before connecting the blue wires. For more information, please refer to the manual of the monitor M75LXAHD.
