INSTALLATION
1. At the rear of the car locate a suitable mounting location for the butterfly camera
ensuring that it is located as close to the center of the vehicle as possible and
attach using the supplied screws. (EG: Fig 1) When mounting the camera, make
sure the camera does not cover any part of the license plate. With the license plate
removed, check if there are any pre-existing holes through which the cables from
the camera can be passed through to the boot of the vehicle. (EG: Fig2) Run the
cables through the hole and re-attached the license plate.
2. Connect the RED wire of the camera's wiring harness to the wire that supplies
power to the reversing light (this wire is energized when the vehicle is put into
reverse gear). Measure the voltage on this wire to ensure it is +12V when
energized. Before making the electrical connection to the reverse light, temporarily
disconnect the camera from the power plug. Connect the Red wire to the reversing
light wire by stripping back the insulation on the wire and soldering the connection,
making sure to insulate the join with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing after the
connection is made.
NOTE: The camera will have only one wire to connect. (12V power source (+).
There is no need to hook up a ground wire as the camera will be earthed through
the RCA lead. Hooking up an earth wire may cause a ground loop. In this case
horizontal lines will appear in the image.
