10.4 Monitor randomly turns on and off
The monitor will randomly turn on or off if the incorrect reverse circuit is used. Many
newer vehicles have light bulbs that have dual filaments. Dual filament bulbs typically have
a three wire connection.
1.
Use a voltmeter to determine which wire is the correct one to tap.
2.
Meter must read 12 volts when the vehicle is placed into reverse. Any fluctuation
in voltage larger than 1 volt generally means that the incorrect wire has been
tapped.
3.
Tap the reverse wire using an insulated wire tap.
4.
The reverse light may be controlled by a lighting module; in which case a relay
would be needed.
10.5 Both camera and monitor are con12 volts but there
is still no picture
Since the SC3102 monitor has an auto‐sense feature, if there is no picture on the monitor it
could be due to a faulty connection on the camera end or monitor end.
1.
Make sure the monitor is correctly connected to a +12 volts
2.
Make sure the camera is connected to a +12 volts
3.
Ensure the RCA extension cable is connected correctly on both the camera and
monitor end.
4.
Test the monitor using a different video source to determine if the monitor is
faulty
5.
Test the camera with a different monitor to determine if the camera is faulty
