INTRODUCTION
This BACKEYE system has been designed to provide years of trouble-
free operation. Please read this manual thoroughly. This manual con-
tains instructions to make the installation of the camera and monitor
easier. This BACKEYE system is a supplement to standard rear-view
mirror systems, and will provide additional rear-view vision when
installed and maintained properly. It is not intended in any way to be a
substitute for careful and cautious driving. All applicable traffic laws
and motor safety regulations must still be adhered to.

BEFORE INSTALLATION
1. This system operates from 10 volts DC to 32 volts DC, negative
ground.
2. Please install this system according to the instructions in this manu-
al.
3. Do not disassemble the camera or the monitor. This voids the war-
ranty. Disassembling the camera will compromise the waterproof
seal.
4. Connect the system to an ignition switched power source.
Connection to a battery source will reduce battery life.
WARNING
1. To prevent electrical shock - DO NOT OPEN THE MONITOR CASE.
There are potentially lethal voltages inside the monitor. There are no
user serviceable parts inside. If evidence of tampering is detected,
the warranty will be considered void.
2. Keep monitor away from leaking water, rain, moisture etc. It is NOT
waterproof. Any moisture inside the monitor could cause extensive
damage.
3. Use the thumbscrews to mount the monitor to bracket.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BE-255C CAMERA
1. Attach camera bracket (see Fig. 1) to upper portion of vehicle.
Attachment point must be sturdy enough to support camera and
bracket.
2. Attach camera to bracket using M4 bolts provided. Adjust angle as
indicated in Fig. 2. (Use rear bumper and back of vehicle as a refer-
ence point.)
BE-245M MONITOR
1. Attach monitor inside vehicle in a location convenient to the driver
(e.g. centre of dash, overhead or in dash). (See Fig.3.)
2. Use a compression plate to attach the monitor bracket to the dash
or overhead. (See Fig. 3.)
3. Adjust mounting angle of the monitor to allow driver to easily view
ENGLISH
the screen from all seat positions. (See Fig. 4.)
4. If necessary snap sun visor into groove on front face of monitor.
Press all (4) sides of the visor to snap it into place.
CABLE
1. The camera-to-cable connection is waterproof. The cable-to-moni-
tor connection is not waterproof. Be sure to orient the cable proper-
ly. The female end attaches to the camera. The 4-pin male mini din
end attaches to the monitor. (See Fig. 5.)
2. Do not run the cable over sharp edges or corners. Do not kink the
cable. Keep the cable away from hot and rotating parts.
3. Place all excess cable in convoluted tubing.
4. Wire the cable securely.
WIRING CAMERA AND MONITOR
1. See wiring diagram for connections to ignition, ground and back up
circuit. (See Fig. 5.)
2. Wiring camera: Drill a 22mm diameter hole into vehicle body near
the camera and bracket. Connect camera connector to extension
cable in vehicle. Push extra cable into vehicle (be careful not to kink
cable) and fit grommet into hole. Apply sealant around grommet to
increase resistance to water penetration.
3. Wiring Monitor: Insert extension cable into camera #1 position.
If 2 cameras are used, be sure to mark each extension cable proper-
ly and plug second cable into camera #2 position. Bundle excess
cable together using a cable tie or vinyl tape. This will avoid possi-
ble damage to cable during operation.
4. The red wire is connected to an ignition power source, the black
wire is connected to chassis ground, and the blue wire is connected
to the vehicle's reversing light circuit.
FUNCTIONS AND OPERATION
MONITOR
1. POWER SWITCH
Press the power switch (*ON) to turn the monitor on.
(The backlight of letter will illuminate)
When reverse gear is selected the images picked up by camera 1
will be shown on the monitor
2. CONTRAST CONTROL
Adjust the contrast control for the desired overall best picture.
3. BRIGHTNESS CONTROL
Adjust the brightness control for the best overall picture..
4. VOLUME CONTROL
Adjust the volume control for the desired sound level.
5. DAY/NIGHT SENSOR
The brightness of the monitor will be adjusted automatically with
CDS according to the circumstances.
6. CAMERA SELECTOR
Depress the camera button (*CA1) to select the camera connected
to camera 1.
Press the camera button (*CA2) to select the camera connected to
camera 2.
7. POWER CONNECTOR
Insert the supplied power cable connector firmly until it is locked.
To remove the power connector, press in the clip and pull out the
connector while holding the clip down.
8. CAMERA INPUT CONNECTOR
There are two mini DIN type connectors for the video camera inputs.
Connect the black and white video cameras to the monitor with the
supplied cable.
The monitor supplies power to the camera.
9. MIR/NOR OPTION
When the switch is in MIR position, the picture will show reverse
image.
When the switch is in NOR position, the picture will show a normal
image.
Camera 1 and Camera 2 are operated individually.
10. AUDIO/VIDEO OUTPUT JACK
Connects audio/video output connector to a second monitor or VCR
input with a conventional RCA phone type connector cable. (Option,
not supplied extra)
CAUTION
1. DO NOT OPEN THE CAMERA CASE. This will break the camera's
waterproof seal. If evidence of tampering is detected, the warranty
will be considered void.
2. Do not recommend mounting the camera near the lower area of the
vehicle (e.g. bumper). This reduces the view of the camera and
increases the chance of physical damage to the camera.
3. Use only the Inner Hexagonal screw and washers to mount the
camera.
MAINTENANCE
Remove dust and dirt with a damp soft cloth. Heavier dirt should be
removed with a damp soft cloth and mild detergent. Do not use strong
cleaning agents containing gasoline, thinner, benzene or alcohol. These
substances may damage the exterior surface of the monitor.
CAUTION
1. Before drilling, be sure no cable or wiring is on the other side. Be
sure to drill a 22mm diameter hole only.
2. Feed as much cable as possible into vehicle and clamp securely.
This reduces the possibility of it being hooked or snagged.
3. Keep all cables away from HOT, ROTATING and ELECTRICALLY
NOISY components.
4. To increase protection of cable, place all excess wire and extension
cable in convoluted tubing.
5. Do not twist camera cable and do not cut camera pigtail or cable.
