Safety Vision SV-LCD56B1 Monitor, which features:
yA 5.6-inch TFT LCD screen
yWide field of view
yIntegrated speaker
Safety Vision SV-625B-KIT, which includes the
camera (Part Number SV-625B) and a 65-foot
extension cable (Part Number SV-523B) and has the
following features:
yRugged, water-resistant housing
yCCD image sensor for improved image quality
yWide field of view (135° diagonal, 108° horizontal)
yLEDs that generate infrared light for improved
image quality in low-light situations
yIntegrated microphone
Safety Vision SV-ILCB system power cable with inline
control box , which provides DC power to the monitor
and camera and has 1 audio/video input and 1
audio/video output
Important Safety Precautions
Install and operate the SV-LCD56B1 system with the
following safety precautions in mind:
The ground (black) wire of the system power cable
must be connected directly to the vehicle chassis.
Use only the correct voltage (12 to 24 VDC).
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, disconnect the
battery from the electrical system of the vehicle before
starting the installation.
Do not expose the monitor to water or other liquids.
To avoid the risk of electric shock, do not disassemble
the system components, and keep cables away from
sharp objects.
Do not block the ventilation holes in the monitor
housing.
This system is designed to assist the vehicle driver
with rear vision only. Do not attempt to view the
monitor while driving forward.
Select inconspicuous cable routes that do not interfere
with normal driver or passenger mobility.
