thecameratail.Theywilllookliketwoadditionalscrewsataslightanglerecessed
intothecamerabody.Thefunctionplugsutilizeapolarizedmagnettochange
camerafunctionality.
1) IRON/OFF.ThisfunctionplugrequiresamagnettoallowfortheIRLED’sto
functioninlowlightconditions.Ifyouremovethepolarizedmagnet,theIR
LED’swillNOTcomeon.


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.


PermanentMounting:
Forpermanentmounting,itisrecommendedthatyouremovethemagnetandattachto
anysolidsurfacewithtwo(2)screws.

Aftercameraissecurelymounted,plugPower/VideoInputintoAgCam®/EnduraCam®extension
power/videocable.Makesuretheyaresecurelyattachedandlocked(¼turnwilllockthecables
together).

SuggestionsforMountingCamera:
Whendeterminingthelocationforthecameraitisalwaysbesttouseasolidsurfaceto
minimizevibration.Laddersarenotgoodmountingchoicesduetolackofstability.

IfyouwillbeusingyourAgCam®/EnduraCam®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.Youwillalsowanttousethemirroredsetting
inthemonitormenuorremovethemagnetintheMIRFunctionPlugonthecamerasoasto
accuratelyrepresentleftandright.Thiswillgiveyoutheeffectoflookinginarearviewmirror.

TheAgCam®/EnduraCam®isequippedwithanarrayofinfraredlightemitterswhichare
invisibletothehumaneye.Thisfeaturewillaidinlowlightconditionsbuthas
limitations.Theeffectiverangeofthenightvisionfeatureis1to45+feetandwill
produceamonochromeimageonly.Donotattempttodrivemachineryusingthis

c. CableInstallation&Mounting
Thereare2lengthsofcablewithyourcamerasystem:One(1)20’andone(1)60’.Ifyouwould
liketopurchasedifferentoradditionalcablelengths,pleasecontactyourdealerwhereyou
purchasedyourAgCam®/EnduraCam®.

CableWarnings
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.
ALWAYSbeawareofany“pinchpoints”orotherpotentialhazardstothecable.

Secureallcablestovehicle/equipmentusingincludedcableclips,ziptiesorotherstyle
fastener.
IfyouintendtouseyourAgCam®/EnduraCam®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.
IfyouuseyourAgCam®/EnduraCam®tomonitoracombinehopperorothercombine
operations,takecaretorememberthatcombineshavemanymovingparts.Useextreme
carewhenroutingcables,anditisstronglyrecommendedthatyouuseboltstosecurethe
camera.Whileitwouldbesufficienttousethemagneticbaseformonitoringpurposes
duringroadtravel,itisadvisedtosecurethecamerawithboltsduringoperationofthe
combine.

d. MonitorInstallation&Mounting
Mounting:
Removeyourmonitorcarefullyfrompackaging,andinspectallmountinghardware.Mounting
locationisthemostimportantpartofthemonitorinstallationtoensuremaximumvisualbenefit
fromyourAgCam®/EnduraCam®system.
Keepinmind:
Leastdirectsunlight.Keepingyourmonitoroutofdirectsunlightwillprolongthelifeof
theunitaswellasensureoptimumvisibility
Doesnotobstructyourview
Doesnotinterferewiththenormaloperationofvehicle
