REAR VIEW SAFETY
10
Wiring Camera & Monitor
• When installing a ONE (1)
camera setup, connect camera
extension cable from the rear
view camera to port # labeled
“backup” (most systems port 3)
Connect red 12V+ wire to igni-
tion power source and black
wire 12V- to chassis ground. Do
not use white and yellow wires.
• The blue wire is the REVERSE
trigger wire. In typical rear-view
installations, connecting this
wire to the vehicle’s backup
light circuit will activate the
rear-view image whenever the
vehicle shifts into reverse.
• Before drilling, be sure no cable
or wire is on the other side.
• Feed as much cable as possible
into vehicle and clamp se-
curely. This reduces the possi-
bility of cable being
hooked or snagged.
• Camera: Drill a 20mm (0.8in)
diameter hole into vehicle
body near the camera and
bracket. Insert camera cable
into vehicle (be careful not to
kink cable) and fit grommet
into hole. Apply sealant
around grommet to increase
resistance to water penetra-
tion. Connect camera to the
camera extension cable which
runs inside the vehicle.
• The camera system can be wired
to be powered “ON” the entire
time the vehicle is activated and
this is typical in RV and some
Commercial applications.
• The camera and monitor can
always be activated by manu-
ally 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 therefor can
drain battery, therefore its
recommended to connect
power to an ignition switched
accessory power source.
