MONITOR INSTALLATION & MOUNTING

Mounting Precautions
Remove your monitor carefully from packaging and inspect all mounting hardware. Mounting location is the most important part of the monitor installation as it ensures you the maximum visual benefit from your AgCam®/EnduraCam® system. With that said, when installing your monitor, ensure to follow these three (3) precautions:

The monitor is out of direct sunlight. This will prolong the life of the unit as well as ensure optimum visibility.
The monitor does not obstruct view.
The monitor does not interfere with the normal operation of equipment.

WARNING:
Dakota Micro, Inc. is not responsible for any damages caused to your monitor, or yourself, due to the improper installation or use of a suction cup monitor mount, whether it be product sold by DM or product purchased from another source.

EVENT TRIGGER WIRE OPERATIONS

Event Trigger Wire Color Guide

Camera 1 – Green
Camera 2 – Purple
Camera 3 – Gray
Camera 4 – White

Event Trigger Wires Explained

Event trigger wires can be attached to any 12v positive event. This will cause the monitor to change to that camera, regardless of the state of the monitor (i.e. ON/OFF or channel selection). The most recent event will be the primary display. If two (2) video channels (AV1 & AV2) are attached to an event output, the event that happens last will change the monitor to its respective camera view.
The wires can be attached to any positive output 10.5v to 16.9v switch or supply to cause the monitor to switch the unit to its respective camera channel automatically. Example: If you were to attach the AV1 wire to a positive output from an unloading auger on a combine, the monitor would switch from channel 2, 3, or 4 to channel 1 when the auger is extended. The event circuit should be neutral in its normal state and change to HIGH (+12v) when the events are active.
