6. Installation
• Install the camera on the back of the vehicle and guide the signal cable to the front.
• Mount the control unit under the dashboard. Do not cover the ventilation holes of the unit.
• Mount the TFT monitor on the dashboard with the included mounting bracket, not too far from
the control unit (cable ±1.3m). Make sure the driver has a clear view on the monitor when
driving backwards.
• Connect the cable from the monitor to the monitor output [G] of the control unit.
• The control unit has 3 input channels. Connect the cable from the backing camera to input
channel 2 [B] of the control unit (middle connector). Note that the signal on this input channel
will automatically be displayed when reverse gear is selected.
• When applicable, another camera (not incl.) or device e.g. DVD (not incl.) can be connected to
either input channel 1 [A] or input channel 3 [C]. Note that the red connector of the included
adapter cable supplies +12VDC. The yellow connector carries the video signal; the white
connector (audio) is not used.
• A video monitor (not incl.) or recorder (not incl.) can be connected to the video output [F].
Note: there is no audio signal on this output.
• Make sure power is removed from the vehicles electrical system and the engine is off. Use the
included power cable (with plug) to power the control unit. First connect the red wire (with fuse
holder) to the +12VDC circuit of the car, then connect the black wire to ground. The blue cable
must be connected to the reverse gear circuit in such a way that it gets power when reverse
gear is selected.
• Re-apply power to the vehicles electrical circuit. The status LED [W] on the monitor should turn
red. If not, check all connections.
7. Operation
All monitor functions can be accessed both on the monitor and via the remote control.
• Switch on the monitor by pushing on the power button [U]. The status LED [W] turns green.
The monitor switches on automatically when a video input signal is detected.
• Select the video input channel. The shown camera image depends on the setup (see illustration
below). During normal operation, select camera 1 [A] or camera 3 [C] with the video select
button [Q]. When reverse gear is engaged ([H]), the monitor will automatically switch to
camera 2 [B]. When reverse gear is disengaged, the monitor will always return to the image
from camera 1[A].
