SAFETY INFORMATION

Reverse With Condence ™ 7
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/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.

1. The cable on this system is split into three parts, two camera cables
that end with Quick Connect terminals and a Pigtail Cable.
2. The rst camera cable (26') mounts on the tow vehicle. It runs from
the cab to the back of the tow vehicle where it is mounted ush to the
vehicle (Figure 1.1 number 2).
3. The second cable (66') mounts on the trailer. It runs from the cam-
era on the back of the trailer up to the front of the trailer where it is
mounted ush to the vehicle (Figure 1.1 number 3).
4. To complete the connection, just connect the Pigtail Cable to both
terminals and the circuit is complete (Figure 1.1 number 4).

ADJUTABLE GRID LINE
Generally, to help drivers estimate the distance from obstacles, there are
three lines for reference- red, yellow, and green. Those three lines are dis-
played on the monitor when car is reversing.The green line is 10 feet from
the back of the car and the yellow line is 6.5 feet away.The distant red line
is 3.3 from the backside of car while the closed red line is 1.3 feet from the
car. Both reference lines on the left and right should leave 0.65 feet from
the car.
Grid Lines
9.9 feet
6.6 feet
3.3 feet
9.9 feet

The accuracy of the grid-lines can vary based on how you angle your cam-
era. Therefore to compensate for inaccurancies, you can adjust the grid
lines to your camera angle.
