Because

 

of

 

the

 

many

 

brands

 

and

 

models

 

of

 

fleet

 

vehicles,

 

not

 

every

 

installation

 

is

 

the

 

same.

  

Ideally,

 

 

we

 

suggest

 

that

 

you

 

run

 

your

 

harness

 

to

 

your

 

power

 

panel

 

for

 

easy

 

connections.

  

In

 

this

 

illustration,

 

 

we

 

are

 

installing

 

on

 

an

 

International

 

school

 

bus

 

and

 

the

 

power

 

panel

 

is

 

accessed

 

outside

 

the

 

bus,

 

just

 

 

under

 

the

 

driver’s

 

window.

  

The

 

harness

 

was

 

not

 

long

 

enough

 

to

 

reach

 

the

 

compartment

 

so

 

extensions

 

 

were

 

spliced

 

inside

 

the

 

bus.

  

Be

 

sure

 

and

 

use

 

the

 

same

 

gauge

 

cable

 

and

 

if

 

at

 

all

 

possible

 

follow

 

the

 

 

existing

 

color

 

scheme

 

too.

  

WARNING:

  

Each

 

MDVR

CF

 

must

 

have

 

a

 

proper

 

GROUND

,

 

CONSTANT

 

POWER

 

and

 

SWITCHED

 

POWER

 

 

source.

  

NOTE:

  

connecting

 

power

 

to

 

your

 

MDVR

CF

 

system

 

is

 

the

 

LAST

 

thing

 

you

 

want

 

to

 

do.

  

The

 

 

entire

 

system

 

should

 

be

 

installed

 

and

 

all

 

connections

 

made

 

before

 

connecting

 

to

 

the

 

power

 

source.
