System Parts

HD Digital Wireless Observation System

Installation Mounting Bracket
(If the iRVPWK Mounting is pre-installed please go to page 5)

Caution

• Ensure there are no electrical cables, gas lines, pipes or other important parts behind where the drill holes will be.
• During installation, remove the key from the ignition & isolate the DC12v or 24v power source.

Suitable installation position

• Where practical, as high as possible at the rear of the vehicle.
• In the horizontal center of the vehicle or as close as.
• Mount the camera directly above the below-running lights.
• At least 2” away from any lighting. Close proximity to lights may cause image blooming, blurring, and reduced night vision performance.
• The area should be flat with enough surface area to accommodate the bracket.
• The surface area should be clean & dry for a watertight installation.
• Ensure that power can be fed to the installation area from within the vehicle.

Mounting Bracket

1. Use the Bracket Gasket to mark and outline where the centre hole will be drilled then drill a 5/8″ hole.
2. Feed the supplied 6f t Camera Power Cable through the gasket. Ensure the bare wire end of the cable goes into the vehicle and the flat side of the gasket faces inward.
3. Mount the gasket & bracket to the rear of the vehicle. Ensure that the Camera Power Cable does not get caught between the vehicle wall & gasket or the Bracket & Gasket. Fix the Gasket & Bracket to the rear of the vehicle using 4 x #2 head 3/4” self tapping screws. (other screws can be used depending on side wall material.) Ensure the sealing lip around the edge of the gasket is seated over the edge of the bracket before fully tightening the screws.

Wiring the Camera

Electrical Power

• To use the HD Digital Wireless Observation System for observation purposes, it needs to be wired to a constant 12V/ 24V power source. e.g If connected to runnig lights, the running lights must be on for the system to operate.
• To use it as a reversing camera, it can be wired to a circuit that comes on when the vehicle is reversing. e.g reversing lights.
• Ensure correct polarity when wiring the cables. RED+ ;BLACK-
• Wire connections & terminals must be sealed to be waterproof.
• When connecting wires, ensure the circuit is isolated by disconnecting the – negative terminal on the battery.

Camera Installation

1. Locate the Camera Power Connector from within the Bracket and connect it to the Camera Plug.
2. Secure the camera to the Bracket using the 3 screws. Ensure the camera antenna is secured tight.
