General information on the electrical connections
Wrap insulating tape around the plug connections of the connecting
cables and every connection on a cable (including inside the vehicle)
to protect them from penetrating water (b B, page 7). The most suitable
tape for this purpose is self-vulcanising tape, for example, 3M.
When laying electric connections, ensure that
– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
– They are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection (3, page 4)
Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards.
Use cable binders, insulating tape or by gluing the cables in place.
Protect every through-hole made in the bodywork against water penetration,
e.g. by using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the the
cable sleeve with sealant.
Do not start sealing the through-holes until all installation work
has been finished for the camera, and the required cable lengths
have been established.

Using branch connectors
To prevent loose connections in the branch connectors, it is important to
ensure that the cable cross sections fit into the branch connectors.
To use the branch connectors, proceed as follows:
➤ Insert the cable to be tapped in the front groove of the cable connector
(c A, page 11).
➤ Insert the end of the new cable approx. 3/4 of the way into the rear groove
(c B, page 11).
➤ Use a pair of combination pliers to close the connector by pressing
the metal pin into the connector. This creates an electrical connection
(c C, page 11).
➤ Press down the safety cap until it snaps into place.
➤ Check that the branch connector is secure by pulling on both ends of
the cable (c D, page 11).
