Rosco Vision Systems introduces a revolutionary new camera system for commercial vehicles.
The new Safe-T-Scope® camera system utilizes a 7'' inch monitor to display a 800*480 LCD
screen which can accommodate 4 cameras along with the capability to show a particular view
such as a single camera, a split screen, OR QUAD screen depending on what the user chooses.
This monitor allows the driver to see obstructions behind the vehicle as well as any other
location based on the positioning of the cameras for added convenience and safety. The
monitor auto adjusts the switches between day and night modes based on ambient light.
Moreover, it complies with the latest FCC(USA) & guidelines when installed properly.

Find a mounting location inside the vehicle cabin that is convenient to the driver (e.g. center of the
dashboard, above the windshield on the ceiling, near the rear view mirror etc). Installer needs to
ensure he/she can drill a hole for the 24 pin connector, and that he/she can stow the power harness
under a surface near the monitor (under the dash, headliner,etc). The STSM270 Monitor Kit o󰀨ers 2
options for monitor installation:
DUCK FOOT MOUNT INSTALLATION
• The mounting surface should be large enough to accommodate the duck foot mount, which is
roughly 3x4 inches in size. Note that the duck foot is designed to bend and ex slightly in order to
t smoothly curved surfaces.
• Attach the "duck foot" bracket to the dashboard or to the headline using self tapping screws and/
or adhesive pad.
• Slide the monitor to the "duck foot" mounting tip and secure the monitor using the locking ring on
the mount. Adjust the monitor angle for optimum driver viewing comfort and tighten the knob to x
the monitor angle in place.
U-BRACKET MOUNT INSTALLATION
• Attach the optional sunshade kit.
• Drill a hole for the 24 pin connector and ensure it lines up with the large hole in the center of the
U-bracket. The hole diameter should not be more than 1 inch. Be sure to clear any obstacles
before drilling holes. This hole should be the access point to the power harness via the 24 pin
connection. Ensure the 24 pin connection is completely hidden.
• Attach the "U" bracket to the dashboard or to the headliner using self tapping screws.
• Fasten monitor to the U-bracket using the provided plastic thumb screws and adjust mounting
angle to allow optimum driver viewing comfort. Firmly secure the viewing angle using the plastic
thumb screws.

MONITOR INSTALLATION

• Once the monitor is mounted, if necessary, drill a hole on the monitor mounting surface near the
monitor in which to pass through the monitor cable and 24-pin connector. The hole should be no
larger than 1" in diameter. Be sure to clear any obstacles before drilling holes.
• Connect the black wire of the power harness to chassis ground. See wiring diagram on page 7 for
connections.
• Connect the red wire to an ignition switched accessory (ex. radio) power source and ensure that
the power source can provide operating current above 2 A.
• In order to automatically display the rear camera view when shifting into reverse using a backup
camera setup, connect the green trigger wire to the vehicle's reverse light circuit. Ensure the
backup camera is connected to port C1 on the power harness.. Similarly, trigger wires can be
connected to the vehicle's left & right turn signal circuit to get the view of the blind spot while turn-
ing left/right.
• Connect the monitor 24 pin male connector to the power harness 24 pin connector.
• The power harness should be completely hidden from the vehicle operators and tied/clamped to
a rigid structure or rigid existing vehicle harness.
• Adhere to a 2 inch bend radius for all cables to prevent damage.
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 vehicles are loading and unloading. For other
specialty vehicles, please check applicable code and regulations prior to installation.
• Always consult your dealer when tting any electrical or electronic equipment to a vehicle tted
with a CAN-bus multiplex system.
