doesn’t succeed, the battery hastobedisconnectedwitharesistorlead.
The Interface needs a permanent power supply! If power isn’t directly taken from the
battery, the connection’s power has to be checked for being start-upprovenand
permanent.

Note:Do not forget to set video interface’s dip5 to ON before testing.
2.6.3.1. Case 1:Interface receivesthereverse gearsignal
If theinterfacedelivers +12Vonthegreenoutput wireof the 12pininterfacecable while

2.6.3.2. Case 2: CAN-boxdoes notreceivethereverse gearsignal
If thevideointerfacedoes not deliver+12Vonthegreenwire ofthe 12pincablewhen
reverse gearis engaged(not all vehicles arecompatible),anexternal switchingsignal from
the reverse gear light is required. As the reverse gear light’s power supply isn’t voltage-
stabileall thetime, anordinary openrelay (e.g AC-RW-1230withwiringAC-RS5) orfilter
(e.g. AC-PNF-RVC)is required.Thediagram belowshowstheconnectiontypeoftherelay.
Disconnect the green cable’s preconnected male- andfemaleconnectors ofthe12pin
cable andconnectthegreeninputcable“Reverse-IN” totheoutputconnector (87)
oftherelay.
Note: Lastbutnotlot least toavoidshortcircuits,thebestsolutionshouldbe, to
crimp a male 4mm connector to the relay’s output cable and connect ittothegreen
cable’s female 4mm connector. The output-cable“Reverse-OUT” remains
disconnected as it’s out of function.
Connect the Reverse light’s power-cable to coil (85) and the vehicle’s ground to coil
(86) oftherelay.
Connecttheoutputconnector (87) of therelay totherear-view camera’s power-
cable, likeyoudidittothegreen“Reverse-IN” cable before.
Connectstabile andpermanent +12V to the relay’s input connector (30).
