Look for a location that will give you the best view behind the vehicle. This should not be
directly next to or under a reverse/backup lamp as it may blind the camera at night. Avoid
license plate lamps as well as they too can blind the camera at night. Before drilling
determine the best way to run the power wires to the reverse lights & the extension cable
through the car. Insure that your route will not interfere with any safety equipment, trunk
release or other items on the vehicle. Once your location has been confirmed
AGAIN
DOUBLE CHECK BEFORE YOU DRILL!
Look for wires, sensors, double metal, anything that
could cause a problem or damage. The camera should lay flat against the mounting surface
for proper installation and weather proofing.
1. After selecting a mounting surface, either remove the panel if possible or tape off the
area to be drilled with masking tape in order to protect the surroundings.
2. For the ACA501 Camera, we include a 22mm hole saw. Use this drill bit to drill through
your mounting surface for the camera. Make sure that there is not a metal lip or double
metal in this area as it could damage the hole saw blade.
3. For the ACA501 Camera use a 5/16” drill bit to create your hole to mount the camera.
4. After drilling carefully remove any burs or sharp edges so you do not damage the cable
when pulling it through. Coat the edge of the hole with rust preventative. On the
ACA501 remove the backing on the double sided tape on the top of the camera base
before inserting into the mounting location.
5. Carefully route the camera cable connector through the hole and insert the camera into
the hole.
6. Use the included hardware to secure the camera in place. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN the
hardware.
7. Wire the Camera’s power wire to the vehicle’s reverse lamp.
a) Locate the reverse lamp in the tail light assembly.
b) Using a crimp connector or by soldering, attach the red wire to the positive 12
volt wire from the reverse lamp. Attach the black wire to ground.
c) If a trigger wire is required at the front of the vehicle or you wish to power your
camera from the front of the vehicle use the additional red wire on the video
extension cable. NOTE: Do not connect to the reverse lamp and to power at the
front of the vehicle. This will cause the reverse lamp to turn on any time you
power the camera.
8. Run the extension cable to the location of the monitor and connect the other end of the
extension cable to the camera. Yellow RCA connected to the Video input.
