2 Road camera
3 Road lens cap
8 Camera locking bolts
9 Manual record
4 Cable Insert + cable
5 I/O Port guard
6 Cab camera
7 Cab lens cap
CAUTION
The Clarity cameras each have a RESTRICTED RANGE OF ROTATION. Do NOT
attempt to rotate them with the locking bolts tightened, or past their tolerance limits
(approximately90° rotation for each camera).
Placement
Position the dashcam inside, in the approximate
middle-top of the windshield, or if this location is
already occupied, slightly passenger-side.
The front camera should be approximately 8
inches (20 cm) below the windshield wipers'
highest sweep-point.
The unit should be mounted outside the driver’s
normal sight lines of the road ahead, highway signs,
signals and all mirrors.
20 cm / 8 in
CAUTION
Assuming a "one way fits all" approach to fleet installation is dangerous.
Dierent cabs have dierent windshield angles, cab configurations, wiper-blade positions
and concerns around left/ right/ dual seating.
It's important that you treat each cab with individual attention to detail.

Mounting the Dashcam
1 Clean the mounting area with the alcohol
wipe provided.
2 Re-wipe the area with a clean cloth to remove
any residue.
3 Remove the adhesive paper from the
mounting plate.
4 Alignment check:
»Ensure the pad orientation will hold the
dashcam with the cable facing UP.
»The road-facing camera must not be blocked
by existing ADAS units, toll tags, tints or
sunshades, vehicle certifications, other decals
or objects.
»The cab-facing camera should not be blocked
by mirrors, internal shades or hanging items.
»The mounting plate is level with the horizon.
5 Press the MIDDLE of the mounting plate firmly
into the windshield, working outwards, so the
entire adhesive pad touches the windshield
(you can better check this occasionally from
outside the vehicle). Push firmly for 20s. Wait
another 2 minutes for full adhesion.
6 Attach the dashcam body into the mounting
plate. Leave the protective film on the lenses
until the Install Wizard phase.
Fig.1: CORRECT Full contact with the mounting
plate to the windshield. THEN, the main body
is mounted.
Fig. 2: INCORRECT Dashcam should be mounted
AFTER the mounting plate has fully stuck to the
windshield.
7 Plug the main cable into the dashcam. The
cable should run:
»Across the top of the windshield out of sight.
»Down the windshield's A-pillar (out of sight,
secured, tucked into the lining trim), down
the back of the dashboard.
»In the shortest, most convenient path to your
key connection points.
8 Find the vehicle’s junction and/or fuse box
under the dash. It’s good practice to take a
picture of the vehicle’s current configuration to
use as a reference later.
9 If attaching the Remote Record button, be
aware that this can be fused on a separate
circuit for vehicle power, or run o an existing
fused power circuit.
Fig. 3: A-pillar removal. A-Pillar linings use a snap-in clip, and are removable by hand. Remove, run the
cable down its length, and replace (Fig. 4).

Install Wizard
IMPORTANT
These steps are required and Clarity will not operate correctly without them.
You need a mobile phone or tablet with a camera,
an active Internet connection, and QR code
scanning software (Apple devices can use the
Photo application) to complete these steps.
1 Check that your dashcam mounting location
and alignment meets regulatory requirements,
local regulations and related company policies.
2 Remove the protective film from BOTH of the
dashcam's lenses.
3 Scan the QR code (on the box in which the
dashcam was packaged) with your mobile
device to open the Install Wizard.
Note 16 If unable to use QR codes, go to:
https://install.eroad.com.
Open a browser on your mobile device
and type the dashcam's serial number
into the displayed field. The serial number
is printed on the packaging box after
"S/N".
4 Follow the step-by-step procedure in the Install
Wizard to ensure:
»the unit is provisioned correctly
»the cameras are aimed for optimal
coverage, and;
»the Record button(s) operate correctly.
Note 17 When evaluating the road-facing camera
please ensure that you have good
visibility of the surrounding front hood of
the vehicle and of the upcoming horizon.
Best practice is to incorporate fender
mirrors if possible.
5 Tighten BOTH the camera locking bolts.
6 Once the unit has passed its tests, attach the
I/O port guard to the mounted unit using an
Allen key. This screw secures the port guard and
the mounting pad together with the main body.

Photo confirmation
Photo document your work to assist in supporting
work order documents and proof of regulatory
compliance. Any digital camera may be used for 2
or 3 images per site, but images must:
»Show the unit clearly, mounted in place,
oriented appropriately.
»Show connections and wiring secure and tidily
managed. (The main dashcam cable should be
hidden behind cab trim.)
»Indicate the environment in which the device is
installed (its position in the cab).
Note the vehicle make/model for future reference.
NOTE
Photos are evidence of a compliant install. They protect EROAD and the Installer’s liability if a
future 3rd party alteration or incident aects compliance integrity.
General Purpose In/Out (GPIO)
GPIO looms are sets of wires with specific
purposes: power or signals. They may be used to
route data from, or power to, a variety of sensors
for seatbelts, brakes, indicators, thermostats,
windshield wipers, etc.
Please review the pin-out tables provided carefully
before attempting to wire up a loom.
A full pin-out appears with every instruction set,
but notable GPIO inputs include the BROWN and
GREY wires.
The BLUE wire is the only GPIO output.
The overmold diode board takes the two +ve
power conductors and two ground connections to
control the current direction.
About Engine Control
Modules (ECMs)
The ECM is the hub of a network of controllers
(sensors, winches, power modules, etc) operating
over a Controller Area Network, or CAN.
The ECM Y-cable lets you to add more controllers
to your CAN by daisy-chaining them together.
ECM connectivity isn’t essential for Clarity to
operate. Power can be sourced through wiring the
appropriate loom pin-out to 12VDCpower.

requirements.
»Wear appropriate Personal Protective
Equipment (PPE) for the install risk and
customer requirements. Appropriate PPE
may include safety glasses, safety shoes, work
gloves, hard hat, high visibility vest, sun cream,
sun hat and/or coveralls.
»Avoid positioning EROAD equipment in
locations that could impede normal operation
or cause injury to people. This includes
potential head strike zones on the windshield
or dashboard, airbag deployment locations,
seatbelts, and other safety-relevant devices.
The dashcam must be mounted outside the
driver's sightlines of the road, highway signs,
and signals.
»Avoid running cables close to heat
sources, sharp edges, obstacles or safety-
relevant devices.
»After installation, check that all other safety-
relevant equipment continues to work properly.
Report any issues immediately.
»Before working under or around suspended
equipment – held aloft with slings, hoists, or
jacks – ensure the equipment is secured to
prevent collapse or falls.
»While EROAD hardware is comprehensively
tested against corrosion and ingress, they
are not invulnerable to water, fire or impact
damage. Do not subject EROAD units to
extreme heat, water force or intense forces.
»Protect EROAD devices from extreme
temperatures. Operating temperatures for the
equipment related to this guide are found in the
specifications page.
