Camera Installation Look for a location that will give you the best view behind the vehicle. This should not be directly next to or under a reverse/backup lamp as it may blind the camera at night. Avoid license plate lamps as well as they too can blind the camera at night. Before drilling determine the best way to run the power wires to the reverse lights & the extension cable through the car. Insure that your route will not interfere with any safety equipment, trunk release or other items on the vehicle.
1. After selecting a mounting surface, either remove the panel if possible or tape off the area to be drilled with masking tape in order to protect the surroundings. 2. For the ACA400 Camera, we include a 22mm hole saw. Use this drill bit to drill through your mounting surface for the camera. Make sure that there is not a metal lip or double metal in this area as it could damage the hole saw blade. 3. For the ACA500 Camera use a 5/16” drill bit to create your hole to mount the camera. 4.
6. Use the included hardware to secure the camera in place. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the hardware. 7. Wire the Camera’s power wire to the vehicle’s reverse lamp. a) Locate the reverse lamp in the tail light assembly. b) Using a crimp connector or by soldering attach the red wire to the positive 12 volt wire from the reverse lamp. This should only have power when the car is in reverse gear and the white lamp it illuminated. Attach the black wire to the ground (Negative 12 Volts only).
8. Run the extension cable to the location of the monitor and connect the other end of the extension cable to the camera. Yellow RCA connected to the Video input.
Troubleshooting Symptoms Solutions No video signal appears while reversing the vehicle 1. Check you reverse trigger wire for your monitor. 2. Check the rear view camera wiring connection and RCA connection. Video image is not sharp enough 1. Clean the camera lens. 2. Make sure a Video cable was used and not an Audio cable as the extension Camera stays on when not in reverse. Check the camera power wiring or your reverse trigger wire.
