Camera Mounting (cont.)
Install the camera cable.
Select a location for the cable to pass through the wall of the
vehicle and drill a 20mm (25/32”) hole.
Mount and install the camera.
Screw the two supplied hex washer-head bolts into the
camera body approximately 3 turns. Place the camera onto the bracket so that the
camera mounting screws pass through the large holes in the ends of the camera
adjusting slots. Lightly tighten the two camera mounting screws to temporarily hold the
camera in place. Using a knife or other suitable cutter, split the supplied rubber grommet
(rubber cap) and slip it over the camera cable. Insert the end of the camera cable through
the drilled hole in the vehicle. Work the rubber grommet into the drilled hole until it is fully
seated. Slide the remainder of the camera cable through the hole/grommet. Use silicon
caulk to seal the camera bracket mounting holes and the camera cable grommet. Once
the T7000 is installed and connected to the camera, move the camera up and down in
the slots until the desired view is obtained. Torque the two camera mounting screws to
approximately 40kg/cm to securely hold the camera in position.

Camera Cable Routing
In general, the camera extension cables can be routed in the most expedient manner for the
application. Side camera cables can be routed via the engine compartment and through the
firewall to gain access to the inside of the cab. Another option is to route the cable up the door
frame underneath the weather stripping. Insure that the cable is out of the way and protected
from the clearance between the door and the frame so it will not be pinched. Tuck the cable into
the weather stripping to conceal and hold the cable.
The rear camera extension cable will most likely be run through the headliner of the cab and
down a cab frame post beneath the trim. Remove trim as necessary and re-secure after the cable
has been installed. Another option is to run the cable down to the floor then to the front of the cab.
If this is done, be sure the cable is in a location where it will not be stepped on as this will damage
the cable over time.
Where cables pass through walls or trim, protection such as rubber grommets should be used to
protect the cable from being cut or chafed. Use the same methodology as for the rear camera
cable above when routing it through the cab wall. Where cables go around edges, be sure to
protect from chafing and cutting. Cables should not be excessively pulled or stretched when
installing.
