Before You Begin Installation

Before drilling please check that no cable or wiring is on theother side of the wall. Please clamp all wires securely to reducethe 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 installationto 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 vehicleswalls. Install split grommets where applicable.

Step 3: Once all cables and wiring have been properly routed,perform a system function test by temporarily connecting thesystem. If the system seems to not be operating properly seetroubleshooting (page 22).

Installation Guide

Camera1. Attach camera bracket close to rear marker lights, centered

on vehicle.2. Attach camera to bracket using screws provided and adjust

the angle.

Cable1. Be sure to position the cable properly. The aviation camera

cable uses aircraft grade connectors which means the cameracable can be exposed to all weather elements, do not run thecable over sharp edges, do not kink the cable and keep awayfrom HOT and rotating parts.

2. Fasten all cable and secure all excess cable.

Monitor1. The Mirror Monitor attaches to the existing rear view mirror in

vehicle with the pressurized clips on the back of the monitor.2. Attach monitor to existing mirror, and adjust mounting angle

to allow optimum driver viewing comfort. (see figure 1.1 onpage 12).

Wiring Camera & Monitor

REAR VIEW SAFETY

• When installing a ONE (1)camera setup, connect cameraextension cable from the rearview camera to port labeled“backup” (most systems port #3)Connect red 12V+ wire toignition power source and blackwire 12V- to chassis ground. Donot use white and yellow wires.

• The blue wire is the REVERSEtrigger wire. In typical rear-viewinstallations, connecting thiswire to the vehicle’s backuplight circuit will activate therear-view image whenever thevehicle shifts into reverse.

• Before drilling, be sure no cableor wire is on the other side.

• Feed as much cable as possibleinto vehicle & clamp securely.This reduces the possibility ofcable being hooked or snagged.

• Camera: Drill a 20mm (0.8in)diameter hole into vehiclebody near the camera andbracket. Insert camera cable intovehicle (be careful not to kink

cable) and fit grommet intohole. Apply sealant aroundgrommet to increase resistanceto water penetration.Connect camera to thecamera extension cable whichruns inside the vehicle.

• The camera system can be wiredto be powered “ON” the entiretime the vehicle is on. This istypical in RV and somecommercial applications.

• The camera and monitorcan always be activated bymanually pushing the powerbutton on monitor. This is inaddition to utilizing the positivetriggers.

Note: If connecting powerdirectly to battery, the camerais always ON and therefore can

drain battery. Therefore it isrecommended to connect

power to an ignition switchedaccessory power source.

11Reverse With Confidence™

Wiring Camera & Monitor

• Audio works on two ports ofmultiplexer and positive triggersmust be triggered for audio tooperate. These are port #3 labeled“backup” (blue trigger) and port#2 labeled “DVD” (whitetrigger).

• When installing a TWO (2)camera setup, use ports #3 and#2 and use positive triggersBlue and White.

• There is a built-in voltageregulator for our systems whichcan handle 12-24 volts. Real

consumption is 10 to 30 Volts.• When installing all THREE (3)

cameras, use all three ports andconnect all positive triggers toappropriate connections.

• To activate grid lines connectthe blue trigger to a powersource. If you want the gridlines to be on when reversing,connect the blue trigger toreverse power. If you want thegrid lines to be on all the timeconnect the blue trigger to aconstant power.

F To automatically have cameraand monitor turn ON whenvehicle activates, simply twistBLUE positive trigger 12V+ toRed Power line 12V+ and wireto ignition power which canbe an accessory switch/fuseline and black wire 12V- tochassis ground.

F Infrared technology builtinto camera IRs are activatedautomatically according to the

lighting conditions.F When using the postive trigger

functions (blue, yellow & whitewires) each trigger functionneeds to work on a seperate12V+ source i.e. the Yellowand White wires can be wiredto a turn signal circuit etc.

F Grid lines function can beturned on/off by manuallyfrom menu. (See page 14)

Installation Tips

REAR VIEW SAFETY

SprinterChassis third brake light camera RVS Systems Pro Tips forSprinter Chassis third brake light camera installation:

1. Always use our supplied camera cable from the rear to the moni-tor

2. You will find clean power hook-ups under the driver seat area topower our RVS monitor offerings. Determine positive and negativehook-ups are correct

3. Our multiplex box can accept (2) more cameras and has defaultwires for turn signals if required. Under the driver seat is the bestplace for the left and right turn signal default hook up

4. There are two approved locations to pick up the reverse wire.A. The BEST place to tap the reverse trigger is located in the rear ofthe coach in the rear pillar at the bottom grey plastic cover. There isa 4 pin connection for the tail lights. Strip off a little insulation ofthe reverse wire, attach a reverse wire, then loom that reverse wirealong our camera cable to the multiplex boxB. If you are not using our monitor with multiplex box, you can openthe hood of the Sprinter, take the cover off the fuse block and getthe reverse trigger off the blue wire.

Installation Tips

5. Depending on your monitor choice; clip on 7 inch rear mirror moni-tor, 7 inch windshield button mount “windshield button provided” orour std 7 inch stand alone monitor, mount the monitor and then in-stall the multiplex box either under the driver seat or above behindthe driver seat on the wall ceiling area

6. If you are using a dbl din dash mount monitor, determine what im-pedance that monitor has. Std is 7 5, but a few monitors have a 70impedance. We can supply a cocoon RCA adaptor for a 70 impedancemonitor. We also can supply a RCA adaptor to go into any dbl din dashmonitor. Be advised that Gentex monitors only put out 6 volts and ourcameras require 12 volts for proper operation

7. Remove the OEM third brake light and use our supplied plug andplay “splice” connection for power to the third brake light LED’s8. Attach the camera cable to our third brake light camera connectionand by using the factory screws, place it into the now empty area withour supplied gasket
