Please read this manual thoroughly before operating the unit, and keep it for further reference.

Product/Service Description

Product Context

A battery powered wireless camera product that is specifically designed for tractor trailer vehicles and/or unmarried vehicles on the road. This camera system will provide a removable (magnetic) camera and monitoring solution to better assist drivers overcome the blind spots around their tractors and trailers.

User Characteristics

Tractor Trailers are among the largest vehicles on the road. Because of their size and the amount of deliveries they make, they are often times found required to maneuver in very tight spaces at the delivery destinations, along our highways or parking structures. Currently, because the tractor and trailer are not permanently connected to each other, there is no way to run cables to and from the cab of the tractor back to the trailer, especially since the tractor usually operates different trailers. This solution is using wireless RF technology and a combination of specially designed magnetics, cameras, and rechargeable batteries. Most trailers (93%+) do not have power being sent from the tractor to the trailer. A battery powered wireless solution addresses this need in the automotive industry.Solution: This wireless camera system can be attached to any trailer, in a nonpermanent manner, using magnets and batteries enclosed in a single housing where the camera is located. Today, while the driver is backing into a loading dock or driving in a “populated” parking lot/structure, he is often required to have a spotter and turn on his flashers and use his mirrors. This magnetic, rechargeable, wireless camera can now be attached to any part of the trailer and provide immediate infrared, night vision, video to the cab through an existing or one of our proprietary monitors. The camera will NOT “crosstalk” with any other cameras as it is individually paired with a monitor/receiver at any given time. Following product generations will add a solar panel and permanently mounted camera, recharged using photovoltaic cells.

Operation

This wireless backup camera system is designed to be used temporarily for difficult tractor/trailer maneuvers; it is NOT A PERMANENT SYSTEM FOR DRIVING ON THE ROAD.
WARNING: The driver must insure that the unit is removed from the back of the trailer before continuing driving.
The monitor unit has a secondary Red LED indication that pairing was interrupted.

Precautions

Storage and keeping

Do not expose the monitor to excessive heat or cold. The storage temperature of this device is -20 ~+65, and the operating temperature is -10 ~+65. The Humidity is Rh90%.
Never use this device near a bathtub, wash basin, kitchen, damp basement, swimming pool or similar place.
Never use this device in environments with excessive moisture, dust or smoke.
Avoid dropping or striking this device.
Avoid using this device in enclosed spaces, areas with excessive vibration or subject to severe impacts.
Never puncture, scratch or use abrasive cleaning materials on this device.
Do not place cables where they may be pinched or stepped on.
Leave at least a 2″space between the unit and walls, or other objects to allow adequate air circulation around the unit.
The wireless camera must be removed and stored back in the driver cabin before continuing driving.

Operating Precautions

The device has a Lithium Ion battery. Charging can be powered by a 12 volt automotive battery or vehicle electrical system.
For monitor/Receiver and Charger, make sure all cables are connected properly observe polarity. Improper cable connections may damage the system. Remove the power cable connections when you do not intend to use the unit.

Product Overview 6763 chip (Richwave)
RTC6763 is a 2.4GHz ISM band HDR (high data rate) FH (frequency hopping) transceiver. The device is a single chip solution with integrated MAC, BBP and RF for wireless application operating in 2.4GHz band. It provides three types of digital modulation 16QAM/QPSK/BPSK, and on-air data rate support 12Mbps/6Mbps/3Mbps. It provide 80 overlay channels, and each channel can be independently enable or disable with hopping table. Just enabling one channel with hopping table setting RTC6763 can operate at fixed frequency, or enabling several channels with hopping table setting RTC6763 can operate as FH transceiver to reduce co-channel interference. Using smart interference detection algorithm hopping table can be updated by SPI digital interface, and this feature allows RTC6763 to avoid other interferences in 2.4 GHz band. RTC6763 with TDD (Time Division Duplex) functionality creates a centralized network with one master to coordinate up to four slaves. The system can operate in single mode (1 master with 1 salve) or multiple display mode (1 master with up to 4 slaves). Mode switching can be performed on the fly. It is available in a 40-pin QFN 6mmX6mm package and RoHS certificate.
