INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT: For typical rear-view installation, the rear

camera MUST be connected to the power harness at the

connector marked “REVERSE”

Note: The following instructions are for typical rear-view

application.

STSC150 CAMERA

1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered on vehicle (see Fig. 1).

Attachment point must be sturdy enough to support camera and bracket.

2. We do not recommend mounting the camera near the lower area of the

vehicle (e.g. bumper). This reduces the view of the camera and increases

the chance of physical damage to the camera.

3. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided. Adjust angle as indicated

in Fig. 2. (Use rear bumper and back of vehicle as a reference point.)

4. Wind deector may be installed. This deector is designed to reduce the

buildup of dust, dirt and moisture on the camera lens. (See Fig.3)

STSM250 MONITOR

1. Attach monitor inside vehicle in a location convenient to the driver (e.g.

center of dash, overhead, or ush-mounted in dash).

2. Attach the bracket of choice to the dashboard or to the headliner

using self-tapping screws and/or adhesive pad.

3. Fasten monitor to bracket and adjust mounting angle to allow optimum driver

viewing comfort. (See Fig. 4.)

STSH320 CAMERA EXTENSION CABLE

1. The camera to cable connection is waterproof. Be sure to position the cable

properly. The male end attaches to the camera. The female end attaches to the

power/video/audio distribution harness, typically located under the dashboard.

(See Fig. 5.)

IMPORTANT: For typical rear-view installation, the rear

camera MUST be connected to the power harness at the

connector marked “REVERSE”

2. Do not run the cable over sharp edges or corners. Do not kink the cable.

Keep the cable away from hot and rotating parts.

3. Fasten all cable runs, and secure all excess cable.

- 6 -- 6 -

1. Monitor: Connect the red wire to an ignition switched accessory (ex: radio) power

source, and connect the black wire to chassis ground. See wiring diagram for

connections (See Fig. 7.)

2. The monitor terminates in a 13-pin connector, which should be connected to the

mating 13-pin receptacle end of the power/video/audio distribution harness. When

connecting the cables check to make sure to match the directions of the arrows on the

13-pin connectors (male to female.)

3. For typical rear-view installation, connect the camera extension cable from the rear

view camera to the harnesses connector marked REVERSE.

4. For multi-camera installations, be sure to mark each extension cable properly and

connect to the appropriate harness connector marked C1 or C2. Bundle excess cable

together using a cable tie or electrical tape.

5. The green wire is the REVERSE trigger wire. In typical rear-view installations,

connecting this wire to the vehicle’s backup light circuit will activate the rear-view

image whenever the vehicle shifts into reverse.

6. Camera: Drill a 13mm (0.5in) diameter hole into vehicle body near the camera and

bracket. Insert camera cable into vehicle (be careful not to kink cable) and t grommet

into hole. Apply sealant around grommet to increase resistance to water penetration.

Connect camera to the camera extension cable which runs inside the vehicle.

7. Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle and clamp securely. This reduces the

possibility of it being hooked or snagged.

8. Keep all cables away from HOT, ROTATING, and ELECTRICALLY NOISY

components.

9. FUEL TANKERS & OTHER SPECIALTY VEHICLES: All electrical equipment tted

to petroleum vehicles must be connected via battery master switch and must be

isolated from the battery while the vehicle is loading and unloading. For other specialty

vehicles, please check applicable code and regulations prior to installation.

10. Always consult your dealer when tting an electrical or electronic equipment to a

vehicle tted with a CAN-bus or multiplex system.
