Mounting the Dual-Vision™ XC Recorder
1.
Determine Dual-Vision™ XC Recorder location on windshield.
Typically
the Recorder is mounted behind and slightly below the
mirror.
Make sure the interior-facing camera and the LCD display are
not obstructed by the mirror.
Different vehicle/windshield
combinations allow many other acceptable mounting locations
(see alternate Dual-Vision™ XC location at left). The goal is
always to minimize forward-viewing obstruction while enabling
optimal recorded images. Dual-Vision™ XC Recorder should be
level both vertically and horizontally.
2.
Clean the windshield glass with commercial glass cleaner. Using
the adhesive pad marked “temporary”, place Windshield
Mounting Bracket on windshield at the selected location. Slide
Dual-Vision™ XC Recorder
into the bracket and connect
Recorder cable to the cable from the PDC Module.
3.
Turn the vehicle ignition on, and observe LCD display on
Recorder to confirm proper electrical connection. (See Page 18
for details)
4.
Allow Recorder to run for a few minutes. Turn the vehicle ignition
off and confirm the LCD display is off, indicating that no power is
going to the Recorder.
5.
Remove SD card and review video to confirm GPS acquisition
and camera views. (See Pages 19 – 23 for Player instructions) If
acceptable, proceed to next step for permanent installation.
6.
Once testing has confirmed proper location, remove the Dual-
Vision™ Recorder and Windshield Mounting Bracket. Using a
marker, note the position of the holes on the sides as shown in
left image.
7.
Peel off the temporary adhesive pad and clean the windshield.
Break open the glass primer ampoule and apply a layer of 3M
Primer on the surfaces of both the Windshield Mounting Bracket
and the windshield. Let the primer dry for at least two minutes.
Attach the permanent adhesive pad to the Windshield Mounting
Bracket, and then carefully press the assembly onto the
windshield, holding it in place with pressure for about 30 seconds.
