Fitting the camera
Observe the following installation instructions:
Fix the camera at a height of at least two metres for an adequate view.
Make sure that you have a firm place from which to work when installing
the camera.
Make sure that the installation location of the camera is sufficiently firm
(e. g. to prevent the camera from being knocked down by branches that
may brush the roof of the vehicle).
Mount the camera horizontally and in the middle of the rear of the vehicle
(fig. g, page 8).
Always use the supplied insulation pad (fig. 8 3, page 5). This prevents
residual current caused by a poor earth connections in the vehicle. Resid-
ual current can cause lines of interference in the picture or buzzing in the
loudspeakers or even damage components.
The most secure type of attachment is with screws fitted through the
body. Please observe the following instructions:
– There must be sufficient space behind the chosen installation location
to be able to carry out the mounting procedure.
– Suitable measures must be taken to prevent water penetrating through
any holes made (e.g. by using screws and sealant and/or spraying the
outer attachment parts with a sealant).
– The location on the body where you wish to attach the camera must
be rigid enough to allow the camera to be tightly fastened.
Check beforehand that there is sufficient space on the other side for the
drill head to come out (fig. 2, page 4).
If you are not sure about the location you have chosen, ask your vehicle
manufacturer or dealer.
Tip!
I
We recommend greasing the threads of the screws to prevent cor-
rosion.
To perform the installation, proceed as follows:
➤ Hold the camera holder at the chosen location and mark at least two dif-
ferent points for the drill holes (fig. h, page 8).
➤ Using a hammer and centre punch, gently pre-punch the previously
marked points to prevent the drill head from slipping off.
