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
ignition 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 & clamp securely.
This reduces the possibility 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 penetration.
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 on. This is
typical in RV and some ;com-
mercial applications.
• 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.
