Safety instructions

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

Observe the applicable legal regulations.

DANGER!
Failure to obey these warnings will result in death or serious injury.

Explosion hazard

  • The camera does not release the driver from the duty of care when driving.
  • The driver remains fully responsible for driving the vehicle, for fulfilling the road safety obligations, and, for complying with the statutory road safety requirements.

WARNING!
Failure to obey these warnings could result in death or serious injury.

Risk of injury

  • This camera can be used by children aged 8 years and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have been given supervision or instruction concerning the use of the device in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
  • 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.
  • Do not install the parts anywhere in the vehicle where an airbag may open. This can cause injury if the airbag deploys.
  • Inadequate supply line connections can result in short circuits causing:
    • Cable fires
    • The airbag being triggered
    • Damage to electronic control devices
    • Electrical malfunctions (turn signal, stoplight, horn, ignition, lights).

CAUTION!
Failure to obey these cautions could result in minor or moderate injury.

Risk of injury

  • Secure any parts of the system concealed by the bodywork in such a manner that they cannot come loose damage other parts or 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!
Damage hazard

  • To prevent damage when drilling ensure that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to emerge.

  • Deburr all drill holes and treat them with a rust-protection agent.

  • When working on the electrical system, the batteries must be separated from the vehicle ground. This applies to the main and additional batteries.

  • When working on the following cables only use insulated cable lugs, plugs, and tab sleeves:

    • 30 (direct input from positive battery terminal)
    • 15 (connected positive terminal, behind the battery)
    • 31 (return cable from the battery, ground)
    • 58 (reversing light) Do not use porcelain wire connectors.
  • Use a crimping tool to connect the cables.

  • Screw the cable when connecting cable 31 (ground).

    • Screw the cable using a cable lug and lock washer to one of the vehicle’s ground bolts or
    • Screw the cable to the sheet metal bodywork using a cable lug and a self-tapping screw. Ensure that there is a good ground connection.
  • If the battery is disconnected, all data stored in all volatile memory will be lost. Data may have to be reset. Follow the instructions of the vehicle manufacturer in this case. The instructions for making these settings can be found in the operating manual.

  • When testing the voltage in electrical cables only use a diode test lamp or a voltmeter.
    Test lamps with a bulb consume too much voltage which can damage the vehicle’s electronic sys-tem.

  • When making electrical connections ensure the following:

    • They are not kinked or twisted
    • They do not rub on the edges
    • They are not laid in sharp-edged through-holes without protection.
  • Insulate all connections.

  • Secure the cables against mechanical stress with cable binders or insulating tape, e.g., to existing lines.

  • Follow the installation and operating manual for the monitor.

  • Do not open the camera.

  • Do not pull the cables.

  • Do not expose the cables to solvents such as benzene for long periods.

  • Do not use the cameras underwater.

  • Install cables far enough away from hot or moving vehicle parts (exhaust pipes, drive shafts exhaust pipes, drive shafts, lights, blowers, heaters, etc.).

Technical description

The reversing camera module and the long-distance camera module (CAM35 2.0 TWIN basic only) are housed in one console for the original brake light. The camera image is transferred to a monitor via a system cable. The camera is also suitable for connection to the Fiat navigation system Uconect.

The camera consists of the following elements: fig. 3

  1. Reversing camera module
  2. Long-distance camera module (CAM35 2.0 TWIN basic only)
  3. 6-pin connection cable for the long-distance camera module ( CAM35 2.0 TWIN basic only)
  4. 6-pin connection cable for the reversing camera module

The CAM35-2.0 basic is equipped with an adapter that allows connection to a monitor with a 6-pin connector and to a monitor with an RCA connector (A/V input).

CAM35 2.0 TWIN basic only:
The camera switching electronics enable both camera modules to be operated via only one A/V input.

Installation

Dismantling the brake light

  1. Remove the screws of the brake light (fig. 4).
  2. Disconnect the brake light from the vehicle (fig. 5).

Laying cables

NOTICE! Damage hazard

  • Before drilling holes check that there is sufficient space on the other side of the wall for the drill head to come out.
  • Cables and connections that are not properly installed will cause malfunctions or damage to components. Install the cables and connectors as specified.
  • Do not expose the cables to solvents such as benzene for a long period.

NOTE
Lay the cables so that the connector between the camera and the extension cable is easy to reach.

Observe the following instructions:

  • Use original ducts for laying the cables or other suitable options such as paneling edges, ventilation grilles, or dummy plugs. If no openings are available, drill holes for the cables.
  • Lay cables inside the vehicle. If a cable needs to be laid outside the vehicle, ensure that the cable is well-fastened (use additional cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).
  • Ensure that the cables are far enough away from hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light systems, fans, heaters, etc.). Use corrugated piping or other protective materials to protect against mechanical wear.
  • Ensure that the cables are not kinked or twisted.
  • Ensure that the cables do not rub on the edges.
  • Ensure that the cables are not laid in sharp-edged ducts without protection.
  • Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use cable binders, insulating tape, or glue the cables in place with adhesives.
    • Lay the system cables.

Connecting the camera

NOTE
Apply a small amount of grease, such as pin grease, to the plugs to prevent corrosion in the plug.

  1. Guide the connector of the brake light through the console.
  2. Re-attach the plug of the brake light onto the brake light (fig. 6).
  3. Connect the camera as shown (fig. 7).
