AG‐H9QDTM User Manual IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING ANALOG AND AHD EQUIPMENT After the introduction of the complete line of AHD Monitors, Dakota Micro will no longer offer Analog monitors. Utilizing the pre‐installed AgCam monitor, customer cannot “mix and match” analog and AHD cameras. PARTS OF AN AGCAM (Part Number: AG‐LCP) III. CAMERA MOUNTING After camera is securely mounted, plug the camera pigtail into rear of AgCam® / EnduraCam camera. You can now plug the remaining end of the pigtail into your power/video extension cable. Make sure the extension cables are securely attached and locked (¼ turn will lock the cables together). A. Temporary Mounting For temporary mounting, it is recommended that you use the supplied 65# pull magnet. If using magnetic mount, fasten camera cable with a zip tie or other style fastener. This will act as a “safety wire” in the event your camera is knocked loose for some reason. When selecting a location, make sure that the equipment surface is clean of all foreign material and as flat as possible to ensure that the magnetic camera base will have good contact and not vibrate off. The thicker the metal base, the more securely your magnet will hold. B. Permanent Mounting For permanent mounting, it is recommended that you remove the magnet and attach the camera bracket to any solid surface with two (2) screws. C. Suggestions for Camera Mounting When determining the location for the camera, it is always best to use a solid surface to minimize vibration. Important‐ Ladders are not good mounting choices due to lack of stability. If you will be using your AgCam® for assisting in visibility for towing, you will want to position the camera so you can see the desired area and a portion of the vehicle/trailer in tow; this will give you some reference to distance.

AG‐H9QDTM User Manual CAMERA WARNINGS A. NEVER RELY ON YOUR AGCAM® AS A SAFETY FEATURE. It is up to your discretion to keep your road travel and other operations safe. Your AgCam®/ EnduraCam® will provide you with information only based on what it sees. Operation of machinery safety guidelines still apply. CABLE ROUTING TIPS & WARNINGS There are two (2) lengths of cable that come standard with our AgCam®/ EnduraCam® camera kits: One (1) 20’ and one (1) 60’. If you would like to purchase different, or additional, cable lengths, please contact your local AgCam® dealer. A. Cable routing is important; where you choose to run the cables should not interfere with the normal operation of the machine or any safety equipment. B. ALWAYS be aware of any “pinch points” or other potential hazards to the cable(s). C. Secure all cables to vehicle/equipment using cable clips, zip ties or other style fasteners. D. If you intend to use your AgCam® for short length PTO operated implement, avoid excess cable lengths, if possible. When you decide on a location, you should fix the camera to a permanent bracket using ¼ inch bolts, and attach any loose cable securely so there is no chance of entanglement in the PTO or other moving parts. E. If you use your AgCam®/ EnduraCam® to monitor a combine hopper or other combine operations, take care to remember ...

AG‐H9QDTM User Manual XIV. WARNINGS When selecting a camera system from Dakota Micro, be sure to utilize the appropriate system for your use. AgCam and EnduraCam cameras are designed for high impact, moisture, vibration and a variety of other rough conditions. OverView cameras and kit components are designed for light use, low vibration and low moisture. OverView equipment is not warranted when used in situations outside of the above mentioned parameters. We always request that customers keep in mind that our less expensive OverView product line is cheaper because it does not feature the reliability and durability of our AgCam and EnduraCam lines. The warranty available on these products reflects that durability. To avoid electrical shock and maintain optimal functionality, do not open the enclosures. High voltage may be present and there are no user serviceable parts inside. All warranties will be void should any enclosures be tampered with in any way. Do not use any harsh chemical solvents, cleaning agents or corrosive detergent to clean away dirt on the surface of the screen or lens. On AgCam and EnduraCam products, the photo‐chromic camera lenses have been made impact‐resistant and have been drop‐ ball tested according to Sec. 3.84,21 CRF BUT ARE NOT UNBREAKABLE. Because they have been hardened chemically, they show no stress pattern. Inspect your lenses frequently. Chipped or scratched surfaces will reduce protection. Such lenses should be replaced only by the manufacturer. Power to cameras is not interrupted by turning off monitor; 12v power source must be terminated when not in use to avoid battery drain. To avoid this problem be sure when hard wiring a unit, use a 5 amp fused circuit. Do not use your Dakota Micro camera system for anything other than legal surveillance and observation uses. Dakota Micro, Inc. is not liable for any illegal or nefarious usage. PRODUCT WARRANTY/REPAIR PROCESS 1. For Technical Support call 1 701‐538‐4403 OR email techsupport@dakotamicro.com 2.
