Mounting The Camera - Dometic CAM 30C Installation And Operating Manual

Mounting the camera

Please observe the following instructions:
• Wherever possible, lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected there than outside
the vehicle.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well secured (use additional
cable ties, insulating tape etc.).
• To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them, ensure that they are far enough away from
hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light systems, fans, heater etc.).
Use corrugated piping or other protective materials to protect against mechanical wear.
• Wrap the insulating tape supplied around the plug connections of the connecting cables and
every connection on a cable (including inside the vehicle) to protect from penetrating water
(see fig. 5 B, page 3).
• When laying electric connections, ensure that
– they are not kinked or twisted
– they do not rub on edges
– they are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection (fig. 2, page 2).
• Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use cable binders, insu-
lating tape or glue the cables in place.
• Protect every through-hole made in the bodywork against water penetration , e.g. by using a
cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the the cable sleeve with sealant.
I
NOTE
Only start sealing through-holes when you have completed all installation work on the
camera and have laid the required cable lengths.

NOTICE!
Select a location for the camera and attach it so securely that it cannot under any
circumstances fall off and injure bystanders (e.g. by being knocked off by branches
brushing over the roof of the vehicle).
I
NOTE
If installing the camera alters the vehicle height or length specified in the vehicle docu-
ments, your vehicle must be inspected by the appropriate authorities. Make sure that
you are in possession of vehicle documents verifying that your vehicle has passed this
inspection.
Observe the following installation instructions:
• To provide a suitable viewing angle, the camera must be attached at a height of at least 2 m.
Ensure that you have a firm place from which to work when mounting the camera.
• Ensure that the installation location of the camera is sufficiently firm (e.g. to prevent the camera
from being knocked down by branches that may brush over the roof of the vehicle).
