Supplementary information for operating the product.

Safety and installation instructions

The manufacturer accepts no liability for damage in the following cases:

• Faulty assembly or connection
• Damage to the product resulting from mechanical influences and incorrect connection voltage
• Alterations to the product without express permission from the manufacturer
• Use for purposes other than those described in the operating manual

Please observe the prescribed safety instructions and stipulations from the vehicle manufacturer and service workshops.

WARNING!
Inadequate supply cable connections could result in short circuits, which could have as a consequence that:

• Cable fires occur
• The airbag is triggered
• Electronic control devices are damaged
• Electric functions fail (indicators, brake light, horn, ignition, lights)

NOTICE!
To prevent the risk of short circuits, always disconnect the negative terminal of the vehicle’s electrical system before working on it.
If the vehicle has an additional battery, its negative terminal should also be disconnected.

• Please observe the following instructions:
  When working on the following cables, only use insulated cable lugs, plugs and flat push-on receptacles:
  • 30 (direct supply from positive battery terminal)
  • 15 (connected positive terminal, behind the battery)
  • 31 (return line from the battery, earth)
  • L (indicator lights left)
  • R (indicator lights right)
  Do not use terminal strips.

• Use a crimping tool to connect the cables.

• When connecting to cable 31 (earth), screw the cable
  • to the vehicle’s earth bolt with a cable lug and a gear disc or
  • to the sheet-metal bodywork with a cable lug and a self-tapping screw.
  Ensure that there is a good earth connection.

CAM200
If you disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, all data stored in the volatile memories will be lost.

• The following data must be set again, depending on the vehicle equipment options:
  – Radio code
  – Vehicle clock
  – Timer
  – On-board computer
  – Seat position

You can find instructions for making these settings in the appropriate operating instructions.

Observe the following installation instructions:
CAUTION!

• Secure the parts installed in the vehicle in such a way that they cannot become loose under any circumstances (sudden braking, accidents) and cause injuries to the occupants of the vehicle.
• Secure any parts of the system covered by the bodywork in such a manner that they cannot become loose or damage other parts and cables or impair vehicle functions (steering, pedals, etc).
• Always follow the safety instructions of the vehicle manufacturer.
  Some work (e.g. on retention systems such as the AIRBAG etc.) may only be performed by qualified specialists.

NOTICE!

• To prevent damage when drilling, make sure there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to come out.
• Deburr all drill holes and treat them with a rust-protection agent.

Observe the following instructions when working with electrical parts:

NOTICE!

• When testing the voltage in electrical cables, only use a diode test lamp or a voltmeter.
  Test lamps with an illuminant take up voltages that are too high and which can damage the vehicle’s electronic system.

• When making electrical connections, ensure that:
  – they are not kinked or twisted
  – they do not rub on edges
  – they are not laid in sharp-edged ducts without protection.

• Insulate all connections.

• Secure the cables against mechanical wear with cable binders or insulating tape, for example to existing cables.

The camera is watertight. However, the sealings on the camera cannot withstand a high-pressure cleaner (fig. 4 , page 4).
Observe also the following instructions:

• Do not open the camera, as this impairs the sealing and the function of the camera (fig. 5 , page 4).
• Do not pull at the cables, as this impairs the sealing and the function of the camera (fig. 6 , page 5).
• The camera is not suitable for submerged operation (fig. 7, page 5).

Scope of delivery

Intended use

The camera CAM200 is a rearview video camera for use on bike racks.
The camera can be used to observe the space around the vehicle from the driver’s seat when maneuvering or parking, for example.

WARNING!
Risk of injury!
Since rearview systems are designed merely as an additional aid for reversing, it does not relieve you of the duty to take proper care when reversing.

This product is only suitable for the intended purpose and application in accordance with these instructions.
This manual provides information that is necessary for the proper installation and/or operation of the product. Poor installation and/or improper operating or maintenance will result in unsatisfactory performance and a possible failure.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for any injury or damage to the product resulting from:

• Incorrect assembly or connection, including excess voltage
• Incorrect maintenance or use of spare parts other than original spare parts provided by the manufacturer
• Alterations to the product without express permission from the manufacturer
• Use for purposes other than those described in this manual

Dometic reserves the right to change product appearance and product specifications.

Technical description

The camera, which is encased in plastic housing, transmits the image to a monitor via a cable.
The camera is mounted under the profile of the bike rack and provides a free view with a loaded bike rack.
Two automatically operating camera modules provide the image with the bike rack folded up or down (fig. 9 , page 6).
Three distance lines (green, yellow, and red) are displayed (fig. 10 , page 7).

Information on the electrical connections

Laying cables
NOTICE! Risk of damage!

• To prevent damage, when drilling ensure that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to come out.
• Cables and connections which are not properly installed will cause malfunctions or damage to components. Correct installation of cables and connections is the basic prerequisite for the lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted components.
• The cables may not be exposed for long periods to solvents such as benzene, as the solvents can damage the cable.

Please observe the following instructions:

• As far as possible, use original openings or alternative openings for the connecting cable duct, e.g. the paneling edges, ventilation grilles or blank panels. If no openings are available, you must drill holes for the cables. Check beforehand that there is sufficient room for the drill head to come out on the other side.

• Wherever possible lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected inside than outside the vehicle.
  If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well secured (use additional cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).

• To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them ensure that there is sufficient distance to hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, driveshafts, light systems, fans, heater, etc.)
  Use corrugated piping or other protective materials to protect against mechanical wear.

• Screw on the plug connection of the connecting cables to protect against water penetration (fig. d, page 11).

Mounting the camera

• When laying electric connections, ensure that
  – They are not kinked or twisted
  – They do not rub on edges
  – They are not laid in sharp-edged ducts without protection (fig. 3 , page

• Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use cable binders, insulating tape or glue the cables in place.
• Protect every through-hole made in the bodywork against water penetration, e.g. by using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the cable sleeve with sealant.

NOTE
Do not start sealing the through-holes until all installation work has been finished for the camera, and the required cable lengths have been established.

Mounting the camera

Tools required
For installation and assembly you will require the following tools:

• Drill bit set (fig. 1 1, page 3)
• Drill (fig . 1 2, page 3)
• Screwdriver (fig. 1 3, page 3)
• Set of ring or open-ended spanners (fig. 1 4, page 3)
• Measuring ruler (fig. 1 5, page 3)
• Hammer (fig. 1 6, page 3)
• Centre punch (fig. 1 7, page 3)

To make and test the electrical connection, the following tools are required:

• Diode test lamp (fig. 1 8, page 3) or voltmeter (fig. 1 9, page 3)
• Crimping tool (fig. 1 10, page 3)
• Insulating tape (fig. 1 11, page 3)
• Cable bushing sleeves, if necessary

To fasten the cables you may require additional cable binders.
Mounting and connecting the camera

Proceed as shown (fig. 11 , page 8 to fig. 16 , page 11).
NOTICE! Risk of damage!
Ensure that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to come out
NOTE
To minimize corrosion in the plug, apply a small amount of grease – such as pin grease– inside the plug.
