CAMERA LOCATION
•
Select a high and centered location at the
rear of the vehicle to mount the STSC141
camera. See Figure 1 & 2.
•
Mounting the camera near the lower area
of the vehicle (e.g. the bumper) is not
recommended. This reduces the view of the
camera and increases the chance of physical
damage to the camera.
INSTALL MOUNTING BRACKET
•
Once the location for the camera is chosen,
use a 3/16” drill bit to drill four holes into
the vehicle using the mounting bracket as a
guide. Be sure to clear any obstacles before
drilling holes.
•
Using a 3/4” drill bit, drill a cable hole into
the vehicle using the large center hole in
the mounting bracket as a guide, or choose
a hole location as close as possible to the
camera.
INSTALL CAMERA
•
Install the camera mounting bracket. Mount
the camera and sunshade onto the bracket.
Insert the camera cable into the vehicle
through the ¾” hole and install the cable
grommet on the hole.
•
Connect the camera cable to the male-
pinned connector of the camera extension
cable (STSH214). Hand-tighten the coupling
ring on the camera cable to ensure a secure
connection, and slide the environmental
boot over the connection.
ROUTE EXTENSION CABLE
•
Route the extension cable to the vehicle
cabin at the front of the vehicle. Adhere to
a minimum bend radius of 2”, and keep the
cable away from hot, rotating, or electrically
noisy components.
•
Tuck the cable out of sight and secure/clamp
the cable at as many spots as possible to
prevent accidental snagging or damage to
the cable.
MONITOR INSTALLATION
•
Find a mounting location inside the vehicle cabin that is convenient to the driver (e.g. center of
the dashboard, above the windshield on the ceiling, near the rear view mirror etc).
•
Install U-Bracket as desired
•
Attach the sunshade
•
Using the 4 supplied thumb screws, attach the monitor/sunshade assembly to the U-Bracket
FINALIZING THE INSTALLATION
•
Connect the monitor 13-pin connector to the power harness 13-pin connector.
•
Connect the camera extension cable from the rear-view camera to the 4-pin connector on the
power harness. Slide the environmental sleeve of the extension over the connection.
•
Tuck and fasten/clamp the power harness and extension cable as much as possible into the
vehicle under the dashboard/pillar liners/etc to be out of sight from the driver and passengers.
This reduces the possibility of the cables being hooked or snagged. Keep cables away from
HOT,
ROTATING and ELECTRICALLY NOISY components.
•
Adhere to a 2-inch bend radius for all cables to prevent damage.
•
Connect the 3- Pin connection to vehicle source
FUEL TANKERS & OTHER SPECIALTY VEHICLES:
•
All electrical equipment fitted to petroleum vehicles must be connected via battery master switch
and must be isolated from the battery while the vehicles are loading and unloading. For other
specialty vehicles, please check applicable code and regulations prior to installation.
•
Always consult your dealer when fitting any electrical or electronic equipment to a vehicle fitted
with a CAN-bus multiplex system.
CHECK THE REAR VIEW IMAGE
•
Apply the parking brake and start the vehicle. Shift into reverse to ensure the monitor powers on
and displays a rear image. Shift back into park/neutral and power off the vehicle.
•
Adjust the angle camera as needed to achieve the desired rear view image. It is highly recom-
mended that the image transmitted by the camera shows the rear bumper and area behind the
vehicle. See Figure 3.
