OPERATION

PRECAUTIONS

We are gratified that you have selected an INTEC Car Vision System. Before using your system, please be sure to read these instructions carefully.

•

Before you begin driving, be sure the monitor controls are adjusted properly. This will avoid unnecessary distractions while driving.

•

Always confirm the view provided by the camera is adequate for your needs prior to vehicle use. Adjustments to the camera viewing amgle should be made, if necessary.

•

Before you begin driving, determine that the orientation of the image on the monitor is proper. Rear facing cameras should yield a mirror image, where items on the left of the vehicle appear on the left side of the monitor.

•

Do not let the Car Vision System distract you from driving safely.

CAR VISION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

STEP (1) CAMERA MOUNTING

For an optimum field of view to the rear of the vehicle and to utilize the distance grid which may come with your Car Vision monitor, we recommend the following installation:

1. Securely mount the camera to the top center, rear of the vehicle. If mounting is on the roof or other horizontal surface, the camera's mounting bracket may need to be reversed to achieve the proper angle towards the ground.

2. With a mounting height of 10 feet from the ground, you want to see the back of the vehicle on the bottom of your monitor screen.

3. Depending upon the vehicle, a flat, sturdy mounting surface may need to be fabricated for the camera's mounting bracket.

4. Some vehicle designs prevent a camera from seeing the area immediately behind when the camera is mounted at the top rear. Be aware of this, and if that area is of concern, prior to vehicle operation, install the camera so this area is fully visible on the monitor.

5. The camera can be mounted elsewhere to provide different fields of view to the operator. System installations have had cameras mounted to view the area down the right side of a vehicle, observe vehicle operations, watch passengers inside a bus or other transport vehicles,

6. Once the entire system is operational, do a final check of the picture provided by the camera. Adjustments to the camera angle should be made, if necessary.

A. Loosen the bolts on the side of the camera assembly.

B.

Angle the camera so that the view desired is displayed on the screen. Remember that some Car Vision monitors offer electronic tilt which adds a vertical adjustment. For rear vision applications, the rear most part of the vehicle should appear at the bottom of the monitor screen.

C. Tighten the bolts on the side of the camera assembly.

STEP (2) ROUTING THE CABLE

On recreational vehicles, busses, and some pickup and delivery trucks, there are several possible routes for the cable from the back to the front of the vehicle. If routed down the back (inside the back cap or vehicle wall) and along the chassis, be sure it is a safe distance from any exhaust systems or moving parts. Follow existing vehicle wiring to insure a secure route. If routing the cable through the interior of the vehicle, make sure that the installation of other vehicle items or objects located in the vehicle do not cause the cable to be punctured, stapled, or cut.

Avoid any moving parts or other areas of the vehicle which generate extreme heat. We recommend the cable be secured along with the vehicle's wiring harness (usually found along the frame or chassis). BE SURE when routing the cable not to puncture or cut the cable in any way.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO PROPERLY SECURE AND WEATHER-PROOF

THE CABLE CONNECTORS IF THEY ARE EXPOSED TO THE ENVIRON-

MENT. When used with the XL series of cables, no additional weather sealing of the camera connection is needed. If the connectors are inside the vehicle, secure them with electrical tape to prevent their coming loose during vehicle operation. In situations where the cable may come in contact with tree branches or other objects that could damage the cable, we suggest that the cable be routed through a protective conduit.

STEP (3) MOUNTING THE MONITOR

Be sure that the driver's forward or side view is not obstructed in any way by the position of the monitor.

The monitor can be mounted overhead, flush with the dash, or on top of the dashboard, whichever allows the best view to the operator without blocking the driver's view of the road ahead. After positioning the monitor, secure properly with the hardware provided. Locate the three (3) power source lead wires on the rear of the monitor. Connect the BLACK lead to a secure chassis ground (negative); connect the BLUE lead to the vehicle's reverse gear switch; connect the RED lead to the ignition (power) side of the fuse panel. The monitor power requirements are found in the operation guide that comes with your INTEC monitor. The monitor regulates the necessary power for the CVC320XL camera via the XL cable. Red, black, and blue wires are provided with the opposite end of the wire connector attached. Fuses (5 amp) for the red and blue wires are provided.

STEP (4) FINAL ADJUSTMENTS

Adjusting the camera is important to ensure the proper view. Adjust the camera by slightly loosening the screws on the side of the camera assembly. Angle the camera so that the rear most part of the vehicle appears at the bottom of the monitor screen. The distance grid on the screen is calibrated in meters.

CAR VISION INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

CONTINUED

OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS

Your Car Vision System should be installed so the ignition switch or power switch that controls your vehicle's power also provides power to the Car

Vision System.

The rear mounted camera will be activated and its picture shown on the monitor screen when the vehicle is placed in reverse. (Follow the monitor instructions in step 3). Always confirm proper operation before travel.

NOTE: If you experience some electrical interference on the monitor while the engine is running, it may be necessary to install a noise suppressor. The suppressor should be located as close to the source of the noise as possible.

The vehicle's alternator is the most likely source.

STEP (5) ANY QUESTIONS?

If during the installation process, you should have any questions or difficulties, do not hesitate to contact INTEC at our toll free numbers.

Western U.S. and Canada: (800) 468-3254

Eastern U.S. and Canada: (800) 522-5989

STRUCTIONS so you can join the thousands who are enjoying the safety and convenience aspects of INTEC's Car Vision Systems.

TROUBLE-SHOOTING GUIDE

AND

IN-FIELD SERVICE TIPS

Monitor lights up but no picture appears:

1.

Adjust monitor controls (ie. brightness, contrast) to see if picture appears.

2. Check the cable for obvious damage (ie. cuts, crimping) and the connectors for corrosion or pin damage. Make sure connectors are securely connected and free of debris.

3. Disconnect the cable from the camera and monitor. Connect the camera directly to the monitor or use a spare universal cable, to test for a cable related failure.

Monitor doesn't light up - dark screen:

1.

Check the red, black, and blue wires off the monitor to make sure they are properly connected to the vehicle power and ground. See if proper voltage is reaching the monitor (11-15VDC in most cases. Refer to the monitor's Operating

Guide to determine voltage.)

2. See if the 5 amp fuses on the red and blue wires are okay. If not, replace with new fuses.

3. Check the cable for obvious damage. There should be no continuity between any of the wires inside the XL cable. If shorting has occurred, the monitor should always be returned for service and the cable replaced.

Picture is blurry, out of focus, or distorted:

1.

Check the camera and clean any dirt, dust or moisture found on the outside glass lens cover. If any moisture is visible on the inside of the camera, return camera for service.

2. Adjust monitor controls (ie. brightness and constrast) to see if picture clears up.

3. Check voltage on red and blue wires to see if sufficient power is reaching the monitor. Low voltage may cause the picture to blur or darken.

Picture on monitor is reversed:

1.

It is very important to check the image on the screen prior to using the vehicle.

With the camera facing towards the back of the vehicle, objects seen on the right side of the monitor should be on your right as you face forward. This is a reverse image similar to what you see when looking into your rear view mirrors.

Periodic checks of the cables, connectors, wiring, camera and monitor will help you spot potential trouble areas before they result in a system failure. An excellent time to make spot checks is when the vehicle is in for routine maintenance.

IF THE SUGGESTED SOLUTIONS DO NOT SOLVE YOUR PROBLEM, CONTACT

INTEC AT (800) 468-3254 (Western office) or (800) 522-5989 (Eastern office).
