Camera Installation Instructions
Step 1
Disassemble the camera into its five major parts,
A, B, C, D, E
and carefully place all
parts in a clean work area.
Step 2
Position the Base Plate
(B)
, in the mounting location.
Ensure that there are no gaps between the Base Plate
(B)
and the mounting surface.
If there are gaps, relocate the camera to a position where there are no gaps.
Step 3
Note the location where the camera harness will come through the bodywork of the
vehicle.
Drill a 1
” hole in this location. This
1
” hole MUST be directly in the
centre of the
Base Plate
(B)
to allow for the terminal end of the camera harness to correctly
connect to the Camera Ball
(C)
.
When access behind the camera is not possible, the cable can be routed from the
side through one of the cut-out notches (
B1)
in the camera base. The supplied
grommets must be used as part of this procedure.
Step 4
Centre the camera over the 1
” hole a
nd mark the location of the 4 screws used to
secure the camera base to the vehicle.
Ensure that one of the cameras cut-outs notches
(B1)
is aimed at the viewing
target.
Use the supplied TEK, self-tapping, screws to fix the camera base to the vehicle.
Step 5
Connect the Camera Ball Molex connector to the connector at the end of the
camera harness.
Hold the Camera Ball firmly against the Base Plate with the Microphone pointing
downwards.
Position Camera Collar
(D)
over Camera Ball
(C)
with the lens window centred in the
arched cutaway in the Camera Collar.
Step 6
Hold Camera Collar
(D)
securely while threading on the Retainer Ring
(E)
until
finger tight. Be careful not to cross-thread the components.
Step 7
To aim the Camera Ball
(C)
, video from the camera can be viewed by connecting a
portable LCD/Monitor with an RCA connection to the front of the Y58, or, by use of
the ICD2 accessory available from Gatekeeper Systems.
Step 8
Re-position Camera Collar
(D)
prior to tightening down the Retainer Ring
(E)
so
that it does not interfere with the
line of sight of the camera and IR LED’s in the
Camera Ball
(C)
.
Ensure the Camera Ball and Harness pigtail are not pinched or trapped between the
Camera Ball
(C)
or the Base Plate
(B)
–
it must be able to move freely.
Step 9
Tighten all accessible set screws on the Retainer Ring
(E)
and Camera Collar
(D)
.
In some installations, several of the set screws will not be accessible due to the close
proximity of the camera to the
vehicle’s
bodywork. In this situation tighten down
the set screws that are accessible.
