Monitor Wiring – 

  Place a 10A fuse between the red lead (pin C) of the monitor and a switched positive power 

lead on the vehicle. Attach the black lead (pin A) from the monitor base to the vehicle ground. 

  The white lead (pin B) is for an optional “Stow Indicator” which could be attached to a relay or 

LED supplied by the OEM. The circuit switches in a ground, and is limited to 250 mA of current 
when the monitor is in a non-stowed position. 

  All control functions are sent to the monitor via an encoded RF signal from the RF controller, 

and no control wiring is needed. 

 

Panel Mount RF Controllers – 

  Using the Panel Mount RF Controller template in the Component Mounting Templates section, 

mark the panel cutout and mounting screw locations. 

  Cut a rectangular clearance opening and drill four (4) 7/32”  holes. 

  Insert fixed RF controller case through the panel cutout. Secure the unit to the panel with four (4) 

#10-32 screws. The length of the screws should be the panel thickness plus 3/16”. The screws 
supplied are ¼” in length. Apply Loctite 242 or equivalent to screw threads before tightening 
them. 

  The controller antenna is to be mounted using the 10’ antenna cable provided. Locate one of 

the antennas outside the vehicle compartment, and in a position that provides the least 
obstructed line of sight to the monitor’s antenna. 

  Place a 1A fuse between the red lead of the RF controller and a switched positive power lead on 

the vehicle. Attach the black lead from the monitor base to the vehicle ground. 

  All control functions are sent to the monitor via an encoded RF signal from the RF Controller. 

 

OEM RF Transmitter – 

  Place a 1A fuse between the red lead of the transmitter and 

a switched positive power lead on the vehicle. Attach the 
black lead from the monitor base to the vehicle ground. 

  Connect all of the switch commons to the ground (black) 

connection. 

  Connect each function to a corresponding switch. To 

operate the function, close function’s switch to ground. Any 
combination of pushbuttons or toggle switches can be 
used. 

  Power indication can be created by attaching an LED and 

proper resistance between the VCC (+3V) and ground 
connections. Max rating for the VCC connection is 250mA. 

  The transmitter’s antenna is to be mounted using the 10’ 

antenna cable provided. Locate one of the antennas 
outside the vehicle compartment, and in a position that 
provides the least obstructed line of sight to the monitor’s 
antenna.
