Wiring Schematic Diagram
Power Supply Safety
- If you are not confident that you can make the following electrical connections safely, then please have these connections completed by a technician.
- Before connecting the power supply to the system, please ensure that voltage of the battery or power source is 9-36 DC Volts.
- We recommend that you use shrink wrap electrical connectors in you wiring circuit so that the insulation on the power wires will not short-circuit the battery.
Power Supply Connection Options
The monitor is delivered with the system harness plugged into the monitor socket which can be unplugged if needed to simplify the mounting or installation of the monitor and camera cables. There are two options to connect the power to the monitor:
- Option 1–System is mounted in a Vehicle
- Option 2–System is mounted in a Static Location such as a bus station monitoring system, site security system, etc.
Option 1–Vehicle Power Installation
- The power supply is normally a storage battery (9-36 Volts).
- Connect the Yellow wire to the (+) positive terminal.
- Connect the Black wire to the (–) negative terminal.
- Connect the Red wire to the vehicle ignition “ACC” switch, which is the gear switch setting in the ignition that is immediately before the vehicle’s starter motor switch setting. With this connection when the vehicle key is turned on, the monitor will start automatically, and turn-off automatically when the vehicle key is turned off.
- Define which rear view camera will be the back-up camera in your camera channel (CH) layout. For example, if you have decided that it will be the CH2 camera to conform to your preferred CH organization of screens that will be displayed on your monitor; then connect the Green trigger wire (CH2 trigger) to the vehicle’s reversing light. This configuration will automatically display the CH2 camera on the screen whenever the vehicle is in reverse gear.
- You can connect the trigger wire according your need, or ignore them.
Option 2–Static Power Installation
- Strip the end wires of the Yellow and Red wires.
- Twist the end wires together.
- Connect Yellow and Red joined wires to the (+) positive terminal of the power source (9-36V).
- Connect Black wire to the (-) negative ground terminal.
- Ignore the trigger wire, unless there is a particular useful application for them in your camera deployment.
Install the Camera Cable
Your plan will define the routing of each of the camera cables. When the cables are being installed, please observe the following procedures:
- Use light color tape to label each end of the camera cable to mark its designated CH number so that there is no confusion when you connect the cameras and their cables to their respective harness CH sockets. In addition, mark the end of the short cable attached to each camera with its designated CH number.
- Do not pull aggressively on the connector head of the cable when you are routing the cables though channels or tight spaces as this may damage the fine wires in the cable. Use a fish tape to thread the cables though these areas. Tape the cable securely to the fish tape to distribute the load when the tape is pulling the cable though the tight spots.
- Install all camera cables so that they cover the distance from the monitor harness to the position where each camera will be installed.
Install the Camera
- Using the appropriate tools install each of the camera in the locations defined in your layout plan.
- The rear-view camera can be installed with screws or bolts using either the rear mount or ceiling mount units.
- Cameras offer the option to drill through the mounting base to pass the camera cable through in order to have a concealed mount. If this option is chosen, then you should use sealing compound and/or rubber grommets to secure the pass-through hole.
- The Upgrade Bracket for rear camera included in the package is optional.
Connect the Camera Cables to the Monitor
Please exercise care when you connect the cabCleonsnteoctgoersther. Both the 8-pin harness cable and the 4-pin aviation video cables have pins one end that line up with holes on the other end. In addition, there is an obvious guide channel that orients to the connectors before they are pushed together.
- When all of the cameras are installed, connect the cables for each camera from the camera to the monitor. Please take care when aligning the connectors to ensure that the pins are aligned to the holes before making the connection.
- Turn on the monitor.
- Cycle the “CH-” button on the monitor to verify that each of the cameras is working properly and that all of the screen views or functioning properly.
Adjust the Camera View
- Cycle through the “CH-” button on the monitor to select a full-screen view of each camera.
- It may be necessary to have a friend assist you to adjust the view of each camera so that the optimal observation is set for the system.
- When the preferred view for each camera is obtained, screw the retaining screws in snugly.
Calibrate the Monitor Settings
Using the “Menu” button on the monitor, cycle through each of the Menu options to set the optimal camera brightness, color, contrast, horizontal position, vertical position, auto, zoom, and language.
Secure the Cables
- When the system is set-up the cables may now be properly secured and stowed.
- Use plastic split-shield cable covers where appropriate to protect the cables in open areas.
- Secure the cables using adhesive 3M type ¼” cable clips and/or zip ties.
- You may have surplus cable length remaining in your installation. If this is the case, find a convenient place to bundle the cable with zip ties and securely hide it out of site. We do not recommend shortening the cable by cutting and rejoining it.
- Please note that we offer additional shorter or longer compatible 4-pin aviation video cables to support the requirements of your installation.
