BE SURE TO OBEY ALL APPLICABLE  LOCAL TRAFFIC AND MOTOR VEHICLE REGULATIONS AS IT PERTAINS TO THIS PRODUCT. IMPROPER INSTALLATION WILL VOID MANUFACTURER’S WARRANTY.

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 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 extensive backup 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 YOU BEGIN 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 18).

INSTALLATION GUIDE

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.

WIRING CAMERA AND MONITOR

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, BROWN-CH2, 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 similarly 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.

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.

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