INSTALLATION
- This product is universal. The instructions are therefore a guide and do not apply to all vehicles. For specific questions concerning vehicle, contact the vehicle manufacturer.
- Incorrect installation can invalidate the warranty.
- If necessary get an automotive electrician or other qualified person to conned to the vehicle’s electrical system.
- Never route the cable on the outside of the vehicle.
The camera and transmitter can be installed as a reversing camera on the back
of a vehicle and is then connected to the reversing light circuit, or
internally in a vehicle to monitor the doors, for example in a van or bus,
whereby it is connected to interior light circuit or other suitable 8-30 VDC
circuit. Note the polarity of the power supply circuit; the positive wire (+)
is normally red and the negative wire(-) is usually black. Disconnect the
voltage to the
electrical system or take other precautions or insulation measures so that the
electrical system cannot be short circuited during the installation – short
circuiting can result in fire or other material damage. The camera is
protected from incorrect polarity and will not be damaged if it is connected
incorrectly.
Positioning the camera
A suitable position when used as a reversing camera is near the number plate.
On some vehicles it is not advisable or impossible to mount the camera near
the number place and another more suitable place needs to be chosen.
- Remove the rear number plate, holder and screws from the vehicle.
- Fit the camera mounting plate (with the camera on) behind the plate holder. Screw the number plate holder and mounting plate in place with the screws.
- Replace the number plate in the holder.
- Route the power cable from the camera to a suitable connection point in the reversing light circuit. Get professional help with the installation if necessary – Some vehicles already have holes through which the cable can be routed, for example the hole for the cable to the number plate lighting. otherwise drill a hole in the bodywork near the cable inlet in the camera housing. Remove the camera from the vehicle after choosing the place for the cable inlet in the bodywork. Skip the next two steps if an existing hole is used.
- Before drilling the inlet hole in the bodywork, carefully check what there is on the inside of the bodywork. Take the necessary steps to avoid damaging any vehicle components, electrical equipment or parts of the fuel system. Remove the number plate and camera before drilling the hole.
- Drill and deburr the hole, insert the supplied grommet and route the cable for the camera through the grommet in to the vehicle. The grommet should always be used, otherwise the sheet metal can damage the cable.
- Localise the reversing lights on the vehicle. Turn the ignition key to garage mode, apply the parking brake and put the vehicle in reverse to switch on the reversing lights. Go behind the vehicle and check where the reversing lights (white) are. To localise the +12 V/+24 Vwires to the reversing lights you need access to the back of the reversing lights. You may need the wiring diagram to find the reversing lights and suitable connection points -contact the vehicle manufacturer.
- After finding a suitable connection point to the reversing light circuit, route the cable to this point. Carefully install and fix the cable, making sure that it cannot chafe against or fasten in any part of the vehicle, such as the hinges for the boot. Never route the cable on the outside of the vehicle.
- Two wires are connected to the reversing lights in most vehicles. The negative wire is usually black and the positive wire is coloured. If in doubt, use a multimeter or other suitable measuring instrument to determine which wire is the positive one. Use the multimeter in accordance with the instructions of the instrument manufacturer.

- When the polarity (positive and negative wires) has been determined, switch off the ignition and disconnect the negative lead from the battery.
- Connect the red wire to the positive wire for the reversing light with the supplied slip on terminal. Press in the tap on the terminal with a pair of pliers to ensure good electrical connection.
- Connect the black wire to the negative wire for the reversing light or earth it to the chassis.
- Replace the bulb in the socket and refit the socket. Ca refu I ly fasten a 11 the wires with insulating tape or cable ties.
- Reconnect the negative lead to the battery.
INSTALLATION OF MONITOR
IMPORTANT:
Install the monitor where it does not obstruct the view when driving.
- Clean the surface before mounting the monitor.
- Place the suction cup on a smooth surface where the monitor can be easily seen.
- Press the suction cup against the smooth surface and press down the locking lever to lock it to the surface.
- Click the monitor into the suction cup.
- Adjust the arms of the suction cup so that the monitor is at the right angle and lock this position by tightening the screws.
- Lead the monitor cable to the 12/24 V
- Put the small 12/24 VDC plug in the port on the right side of the monitor.
- Put the large 72/24 V plug in the socket.
- For best functionality and secure grip the suction cup should be mounted when:
- The surface temperature is between 27 to 38°C.
- The ambient temperature is at least 10°(.
- Do not mount in direct sunlight and protect the suction cup from direct sunlight for the first 24 hours after mounting.
NOTE
In very bright conditions it can take a few seconds for the image on the monitor to stabilise. Wait until the image has stabilised before reversing.
TESTING THE INSTALLATION
- Reconnect the negative lead to the battery, if this has not already been done.
- Turn the ignition key to garage mode. Do not start the engine.
- Apply the parking brake and engage reverse gear.
- After testing and routing the cable should be installed permanently.
- Route all cables behind the interior panels or under the floor mats. Wind together surplus length of cable and fix with the supplied cable ties.
USE
Before using for the first time the monitor and camera must be paired, see
“Pairing” section below.
POWER SUPPLY

monitor automatically switches on when connected.
NOTE
The monitor switches off automatically if there is no signal from the
camera and the blue status light flashes. An image is shown if there is a
signal from the camera and the blue status light stops flashing and stays on.
