BEFORE INSTALLATION

1. This camera operates 12 volts, supplied by the monitor.
2. Please install the camera according to the instructions in this manual.
3. Do not disassemble the camera. This voids the warranty. Disassembling the camera will compromise the waterproof seal.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

ATTACH THE SUPPLIED MOUNTING BRACKET TO VEHICLE. ADJUST THE ANGLE OF THE CAMERA AND FASTEN THE SCREW FIRMLY.

1. Attach camera bracket to upper portion of vehicle. Attachment point must be sturdy enough to support camera and bracket.
2. Attach camera to bracket using bolts provided. Adjust angle. (Use rear bumper and back of vehicle as a reference point.)
3. Select mirror or normal camera image via a magnetic switch as indicated in Fig. 1
   
   

CABLE (SUPPLIED SEPARATELY)

1. The camera-to-cable connection is waterproof. The cable-to-monitor connection is not waterproof. Be sure to orient the cable properly. The cylindrical end attaches to the camera.
2. Do not run the cable over sharp edges or corners. Do not kink the cable. Run in conduit if necessary. Keep the cable away from hot and rotating parts.
3. Keep any excess cable away from hot or rotating parts.
4. Secure the cable along its length with regularly spaced cable ties.

WIRING CAMERA

1. Connect to monitor cable via waterproof 4 pin connector.
2. Drill a 22mm - diameter hole into vehicle body near the camera and bracket. Connect camera connector to extension cable in vehicle. Push extra cable into vehicle (be careful not to kink cable) and fit grommet into hole. Apply sealant around grommet to increase resistance to water penetration.
3. ONLY PETROLEUM ROAD TANKERS: All electrical equipment fitted to petroleum vehicles must be fitted via the battery master switch and must be isolated from the battery while the vehicles are loading and unloading.

CAMERA FUNCTION AND OPERATION

1. Waterproof microphone for audio pickup.
2. Mirror/Normal switch (waterproof) to change camera image from a mirror view rear of vehicle mounted.

1. DO NOT OPEN THE CAMERA CASE. This will break the camera's waterproof seal. If evidence of tampering is detected, the warranty will be considered void.
2. Do not recommend mounting the camera near the lower area of the vehicle (e.g. bumper). This reduces the view of the camera and increases the chance of physical damage to the camera.
3. Use only hexagonal screws and washers supplied to mount the camera.

MAINTENANCE

Remove dust and dirt with a damp soft cloth. Heavier dirt should be removed with a damp soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use strong cleaning agents containing gasoline, thinner, benzene or alcohol. These substances may damage the exterior surface of the camera. Do not steam clean the camera directly.

1. Before drilling, be sure no cable or wiring is on the other side. Be sure drill a 22mm diameter hole only.
2. Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle and clamp securely. This reduces the possibility of it being hooked or snagged.
3. Keep all cables away from HOT, ROTATING and ELECTRICALLY NOISY components.
4. Do not twist camera cable and do not cut camera pigtail or cable
