Proper Final Position of Antenna
IMPORTANT
When installing in a vehicle with RF sensitive electronic
components, it is important to keep the Expanse (Radio) base
antenna as far away as possible from those components to
eliminate any possible interference with those devices.
15. Route the cables for the camera and wireless audio transmitter to the DVR. If the system
includes a single transmitter, the cable for that transmitter must be connected to the
AUDIO 1 connector on the mini-OTP cable at the DVR. Refer to Mini-Octopus
(Mini-OTP) Cable in Chapter 4, Cable Installation, for more information.
Initial Checks Prior to Installing Camera on Windshield or
Headliner Mounting Tab
Prior to beginning the installation of any of the available cameras used on the Digital
Eyewitness
®
HD system, the technician needs to validate that the following items have been
taken into account:
1. The mounting position of the camera should result in minimal obstruction of the driver’s
field of the view.
2. The mounting position of the camera should result in optimum camera field of view out
the front windshield.
3. The mounting position of the camera should result in no interference with airbag
deployment.
4. The mounting position of the camera should result in no compromise in the safety of any
potential vehicle occupants in the event of a collision.
In general, the ability of the technician to satisfy these requirements will increase by moving
the mounting position of the camera as high as possible on the windshield.
Refer to the following drawing for proper tab positioning before marking the mounting location
on the windshield. The mounting location should be marked on the outside of the windshield.
