Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a Rear View Backup Camera
System! With this manual you will be able to properly install and
operate the unit.
The Backup Camera System is intended to be installed as a
supplement aid to your standard rear view mirror that already ex-
ists in your vehicle. The Backup Camera System should not be
used as a substitute for the standard rear view mirror or for any
other mirror that exists in your vehicle.
In some jurisdictions, it is unlawful for a person to drive a
motor vehicle equipped with a TV viewer or screen located for-
ward of the back of the driver’s seat or in any location that is vis-
ible, directly or indirectly, to the driver while operating the
vehicle.
Please read all of the installation instructions
carefully before installing the product. Improper
installation will void manufacturer’s warranty.

as you would if the vehicle
did not have the Rear View
Camera System. If you back
up while looking only at the
monitor, you may cause
damage or injury. Always
back up slowly.
•The Rear View Camera Sys-
tem is not intended for use
during exstensive back-up
maneuvers or backing into
cross traffic or pedestrian
walkways.
•Please, always remember,
the area displayed by the
Rear View Camera System is
limited. It does not display
the entire panorama that is
behind you.

Before Beginning Installation
Before drilling please check that no cable or wiring is on the
other side of the wall. Please clamp all wires securely to reduce
the possibility of them being damaged while vehicle is in use.
Keep all cables away from hot or moving parts and electrical
noisy components.
We recommend doing a benchmark test before installation
to insure that all components are working properly.
Step 1: Choose the monitor and camera locations.
Step 2: Install all cables in vehicle, when necessary a 0.8 (20mm)
hole should be drilled for passing camera cable through vehicles
walls. Install split grommets where applicable.
Step 3: Once all cables and wiring have been properly routed,
perform a system function test by temporarily connecting the
system. If the system seems to not be operating properly see
troubleshooting (page 22).

Installation Guide
Camera
1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered
on vehicle.
2. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided and adjust
the angle.
Cable
1. Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation camera
cable uses aircraft grade connectors which means the camera
cable can be exposed to all weather elements. Do not run the
cable over sharp edges, do not kink the cable and keep away
from HOT and rotating parts.
2. asten all cables and secure all excess cable.
Monitor
1. To Attach the Pedestal mount to the dashboard or to the head-
liner using self-tapping screws and/or the adhesive pad.
2. Attach monitor to mount, and adjust mounting angle to allow
optimum driver viewing comfort. (see figure 1.1 on page 12)

Wiring Camera & Monitor
The multiplexer.
•To power the system connect
the power (RED) 12V+ wire to
ignition power and the ground
(BLACK) wire to chassis ground.
•These are the only wires
needed to power the entire
system and all the cameras.
Each camera can be seen at
any time by simply pressing
the power button and using
the V1/2 button to toggle.
•The three positive trigger wires
(BLUE-CH1, WHITE-CH2,
YELLOW-CH3) each represent
one channel and will turn on
their channel when the trigger
wire is energized with 12V.
•"Camera 3" is the designated
backup channel. To have the
the backup camera come on
when you go into reverse, con-
nect the BLUE wire to reverse
power (or any power source
that comes on only in reverse).
•The other channels can simi-
larly be triggered (i.e. side cam-
eras can be triggered by the turn
signals etc.)
•To automatically have camera
and monitor turn ON when vehi-
cle activates, simply twist BLUE
positive trigger 12V+ to Red
Power line 12V+ and wire to ig-
nition power.
Note: This setup will disable
the menu in channel 3. To
access the menu simply move
to channel 1 or 2 and all the
changes will apply to channel
3.
Note: When the blue wire is
active it will have precedence
over the other triggers.
Therefore, if you wish to use
multiple triggers, do not
attach the blue trigger to
constant power.

Wiring Camera & Monitor
•Audio: There is audio on
channels 2 and 3. On channel 3
the blue trigger wire must be
energized (12V) to activate the
audio. On channel 2 the audio
is always on.
•Grid-lines: The grid-lines are
also carried through the blue
wire. To use the grid-lines for
reversing, connect the blue
wire to a reverse power.
•There is a built-in voltage
regulator for our systems which
can handle 12-24 volts. Real
consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.
Note: The camera and
monitorcan always be
activated by manually
pushing the power button on
monitor. This is in addition to
utilizing the positive triggers.
Note: If connecting power
directly to battery, the camera
is always ON and therefore can
drain battery. Therefore it is
recommended to connect
power to an ignition switched
accessory power source.

The Quick Connect
The Quick Connect:
The Quick Connect is designed so
you can connect your camera
system with utmost ease when
hitching your trailer. Here is a de-
scription of how the system
works and how it is set up.
1. The cabling on this system is
split into three parts, two camera
cables that end with Quick Con-
nect terminals and a Pigtail
Cable.
2. The first camera cable (26')
mounts on the tow vehicle. The 3
cables ends are plugged into the
multiplexer (backup into PORT 3
and the side cameras into Ports 1
and 2.)
The cable is then run from the
cab to the back of the tow vehi-
cle where it is mounted
(it can be mounted flush) to the
vehicle.
3. The third segment is mounted
to front of the trailer. Coming out
of it are three cable ends which
are to be connected to three sep-
arate camera cables. The camera
cables are then run to the cam-
eras where they are connected to
the cameras.
4. To complete the connection,
just connect the Pigtail Cable to
both terminals and the circuit is
complete.
