Instruction Manual

Introduction

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

Congratulations on purchasing a Rear View Backup Camera System! With this manual you will be able to properly install and operate the unit.

The Backup Camera System is intended to be installed as a supplement aid to your standard rear view mirror that already ex-ists in your vehicle. The Backup Camera System should not be used as a substitute for the standard rear view 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 forward of the back of the driver’s seat or 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 applica-ble local traffic and motor vehicle regulations as it pertains to this product. Improper installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.

USAGE

• The Rear View Camera 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 View Camera System. If you back up while looking only at the monitor, you may cause damage or injury. Always back up slowly.
• The Rear View Camera Sys-tem is not intended for use during exstensive back-up maneuvers or backing into cross traffic or pedestrian walkways.
• Please, always remember, the area displayed by the Rear View Camera System is limited. It does not display the entire panorama that is behind you.

• Use this product within the voltage range specified. Failure to do so can cause electronic 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 a friction tape. A short circuit or disconnected wire may cause a fire.
• While installing the Rear View Safety System be careful with the wire positioning in order to avoid wire damage.
• The Rear View Safety System should only be used when the vehicle is in reverse.

Before You Begin 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 vehicle is in use. Keep all cables away from hot or moving parts and electrical noisy components.

We recommend doing a benchmark test before installation to insure that all components are working properly.

Step 1: Choose the monitor and camera locations.

Step 2: Install all cables in vehicle, when necessary a 0.8 (20mm) hole should be drilled for passing camera cable through vehicles 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 (page 20).

Installation Guide

Cable

1. Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation 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.
2. Fasten all cables and secure all excess cable.

Replacement Monitor

1. The Mirror Monitor replaces the existing rear view mirror in vehicle.
2. Replace existing mirror, and adjust mounting angle to allow optimum driver viewing comfort. (see figure 1.1 on page 11).

Clip-On Monitor

1. The Mirror Monitor attaches to the existing rear view mirror in vehicle with the pressurized clips on the back of the monitor.
2. Attach monitor to existing miror, and adjust mounting angle to allow optimum driver viewing comfort. (see figure 1.1 on page 12).

Wiring Camera & Monitor

The Power Harness

• To power the system connect the power (RED) 12V+ 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 (WHITE-CH1, BROWN-CH2, BLUE-CH3) each represent one channel and will turn on their channel when the trigger wire is energized with 12V.
• “Camera 3” is the designated backup channel. To have the the backup camera come on when you go into reverse, con-nect the BLUE wire to reverse power (or any power source that comes on only in reverse).
• The other channels can similarly be triggered (i.e. side cam-eras can be triggered by the turn signals etc.)
• To automatically have camera and monitor turn ON when vehi-cle activates, simply twist BLUE positive trigger 12V+ to Red Power line 12V+ and wire to ig-nition 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 blue 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.

Wiring Camera & Monitor

• Audio: There is audio on channels 2 and 3. On channel 3 the blue trigger wire must be energized (12V) to activate the audio. On channel 2 the audio is always on.
• Grid-lines: The grid-lines are also carried through the blue wire. To use the grid-lines for reversing, connect the blue wire to a reverse power.
• There is a built-in voltage regulator for our systems which can handle 12-24 volts. Real consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.

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 battery, the camera is always ON and therefore can drain battery. Therefore it is recommended to connect power to an ignition switched accessory power source.

• Verify camera cable is plugged into port labeled Backup Camera
• Verify that the blue positive trigger on power harness is put to power 12v+.
• If the problem still persists, ver-ify that alternate ports work. If alternate ports do not work, re-move Blue Trigger wire from 12V+ and select alternate chan-nels.
