Selecting a mounting location
Side Cameras
The optional side camera’s need to be mounted on each side of the truck to give the driver a
clear view of the area beside the truck. In general, select a mounting location as far forward as
possible to allow an unobstructed view of the side of the truck and where they will not interfere
with entrance doors, hood opening and other truck features. Common mounting locations include:
Fender in front of the cab door but behind the wheel well
Running board beside/below the cab
Other convenient places on the side of the truck that avoids interference of the driver
entering and exiting the truck.
Depending on the available locations and contours of the truck, it may be necessary to mount the
camera on a bracket which is attached to the truck instead of directly on the truck. If this is
necessary, the bracket should be made from material that will not corrode or discolor. Aluminum
is a good choice as it requires no painting, will not rust, and is more easily bent than steel. Insure
that whatever material is used, it is thick enough to prevent the camera from vibrating while the
vehicle is in motion. Before permanently mounting the camera it is advisable to connect it to the
T7000 system and check the view to insure that the viewing area is as desired.
Rear Camera
The optional rear camera should be mounted on the rear of the cab where it will have a clear view
of the rear of the tractor including the axles and trailer mount. Consideration should also be given
to a location where the camera cable can easily be routed inside the vehicle. Choose a flat
surface near the top of the cab. Before permanently mounting the camera it is advisable to
connect it to the T7000 system and check the view to insure that the viewing area is as desired.
Flir
Camera
The Flir
camera is meant to be mounted on the front of the truck, facing forward giving a view
of the road. Suitable locations for the Flir
would include:
The top edge of the cab
Front bumper or grill area
Front of the hood
It is advisable to connect the camera to the T7000 before permanent mounting to insure that the
view of the camera is as desired.
