Introduction

Please read all of the installation instructions carefully before installing the product. Improper installation will void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Congratulations on purchasing a Rear Observation System With a Night Vision Camera. With this manual, you will be able to properly install and operate the unit. The Rear Observation System is intended to be installed as a supplement aid to your standard rearview mirror that already exists in your vehicle. The Rear Observation System should not be used as a substitute for the standard rearview mirror or for any other mirror that exists in your vehicle. In some jurisdictions, it is unlawful for a person to drive a motor vehicle equipped with a TV viewer or screen located in any location that is visible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the vehicle.

Safety Information

Please read the entire manual and follow the instructions and warnings carefully. Failure to do so can cause serious damage and/or injury, including loss of life. 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 Observation 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 Observation System. If you back up while looking only at the monitor, you may cause damage or injury. Always back up slowly.
•  The Rear Observation System is not intended for use during extensive back-up maneuvers or backing into cross traffic or pedestrian walkways.
• Please, always remember, that the area displayed by the Rear Observation System is limited. It does not display the entire panorama that is behind you.
• An electric shock or product malfunction may occur if this product is installed incorrectly.
• Use this product within the voltage range specified. Failure to do so can cause electric shock or product malfunction.
• Take special care when cleaning the monitor.
• Make sure to firmly affix the product before use.
• If smoke or a burning smell is detected, disconnect the system immediately.
• Where the power cable may touch a metal case, cover the cable with friction tape. A short circuit or disconnected wire may cause a fire.
• While installing the Rear View System be careful with the wire positioning in order to avoid wire damage.
• The Rear View System should only be used when the vehicle is in reverse.
• Do not install the monitor where it may obstruct the driver’s view or obstruct an airbag device.
• Dropping the unit may cause possible mechanical/electrical failure.

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 the vehicle is in use. Keep all cables away from hot or moving parts and components causing electrical interference. We recommend doing a bench test before installation to ensure that all components are working properly

• Step 1: Choose the monitor and camera locations.
• Step 2 : Install all cables in the vehicle, when necessary a 0.8″ (20mm) hole should be drilled for passing the camera cable through the vehicle’s 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 (pg 17).

Cable

1. Be sure to route the cable carefully. 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, such as but not limited to, exhaust systems and drive shafts.
2. Fasten and secure all excess cables.

Monitor

1. To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or to the headliner/roof using self-tapping screws and/or the adhesive pad.
2. Attach the monitor to the mount, and adjust the mounting angle to allow optimum driver viewing comfort.

Camera

1. The camera plug will require a minimum of a 5/8″ opening or hole to be fed through. If none exist, find and mark location to drill the hole for the plug. Be sure there are no wires or obstructions behind marked location.
2. Deburr hole.
3. Feed plug and cable through the hole.
4. Secure camera to license plate mounting hole locations using existing mounting hardware.
5. Adjust the camera angle by loosening the set screws with a 1.5mm allen key. Once the desired angle is found, tighten the set screws.

The Power Harness

• To power the system connect the power (RED) +12VDC 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 (CH1, CH2, CH3) each represent one channel and will turn on their channel when the trigger wire is energized with +12VDC.
• Camera 3 is the designated backup channel. To have the backup camera come on when you go into reverse, connect the CH3 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 a camera and monitor turn ON when the vehicle activates, simply twist CH3 positive trigger + 12VDC to Red Power line +12VDC 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 channel 3 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 CH3 the trigger wire must be energized (+12VDC) to activate the audio. On CH2 the audio is always on.
• Grid lines: The grid lines are also carried through the CH3 wire. To use the grid lines for reversing, connect the CH3 wire to a reverse power. Grid lines can be deactivated in the menu. Menu > PARKSET > Toggle ON or Toggle OFF
• There is a built-in voltage regulator for our systems which can handle 10-30 Volts DC.

Note: The included camera does not have a built in microphone.
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 a battery, the camera is always ON and therefore can drain the battery. Therefore it is recommended to connect power to an ignition switched accessory power source.

• Check to ensure that the connection to the camera is tight.
• Verify camera cable is plugged into the camera port
• Verify that the trigger on the power harness is put to power +12VDC.
• If the problem still persists, verify that alternate ports work. If alternate ports do not work, remove trigger wire from +12VDC and select alternate channels

Monitor Will Not Power-Up (no backlight on power)

• Check fuse
• Check +12VDC connection
• Check ground connection
• Try power and ground directly to the battery

No Image On Screen

• Verify camera is on the correct camera input
• Verify cable is connected to the monitor
• Verify camera is connected to the cable
• Connect the known working camera and cable to the monitor.
• Verify trigger source is supplying power

Audio on Camera

• Verify chosen camera has audio
• Verify volume setting
• Confirm that the CH3 trigger is connected to +12VDC
