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 sys-
tems, 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 ca-
bles and every connection on a cable (including inside the vehicle) to protect from
penetrating water (see fig. 5 B, page 4).
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 3).
Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use cable
binders, insulating 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.
Note
I
Only start sealing through-holes when you have completed all installation work
on the camera and have laid the required cable lengths.
8 Mounting the camera
Note
I
If installing the camera alters the vehicle height or length specified in the vehicle
documents, 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.
Caution!
a
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).
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.
