To ensure prop-

er installation and to ensure safety, please seek a specialist technician. Only use parts supplied or recom-

mended. Use watertight connectors for camera power supply cable to power source. Use 16AWG or larger cables to sup-

ply power to the camera unit. Connect rear the camera to a 8-

30V DC circuit only. Ensure correct polarity of DC power supply to the camera camera only to a circuit provided with a maximum branch-circuit over current protection device. Dont route wiring in areas that may get hot. Take necessary precautions when working at elevated levels. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING OR USING THE SYSTEM Electrical Safety A battery or 12 or 24V DC electrical-

system presents a risk of electrical shock or burn hazard. Ensure all power sources are isolated before installa-

tion. Insulate unconnected wires with vinyl tape or similar. Use insulated tools when working with a power supply. Caution There are no user serviceable parts in the Furrion Digital Wireless Obser-

vation System. Do not disassemble or attempt any repairs. There are no fuses or disconnects in the Furrion Digital Wireless Obser-

vation System. Install external fuses/

(If the FRCBRKT-BL Mounting is pre-installed please go to page 9) Suitable installation position.. Mount the camera directly above the red running lights. At least 2 away from any lighting. Close proximity to lights may cause image blooming, blurring and re-

duced night vision performance. The area should be flat with enough surface area to accommodate the bracket. The surface area should be clean &

dry for a watertight installation. Ensure that power can be fed to the installation area from within the vehicle. Caution Ensure there are no electrical cables, gas lines, pipes or other im-

portant parts behind where the drill holes will be. During installation, remove the key from the ignition & isolate the 12v or 24v power source. Suitable installation position Where practical, as high as possible at the rear of the vehicle. In the horizontal centre of the vehi-

cle or as close as. Vehicle Centre Camera Bracket Vehicle Roof 6 Installation Mounting Bracket 1 Use the Bracket Gasket to mark and outline where the centre hole will be drilled then drill a 5/8th hole. 2 Feed the supplied 6ft Camera Power Cable through the gasket. Ensure the bare wire end of the cable goes into the vehicle and the flat side of the gasket faces inward. Camera Power Cable Bracket Gasket Vehicle Wall Wiring the Camera Electrical Power To use the Digital Wireless Observation System for observation purposes, it needs to be wired to a constant 12V/ 24V power source. e.g If connected to run-

nig lights, the running lights must be on for the system to operate. To use it as a reversing camera, it can be wired to a circuit that comes on when the vehicle is reversing.e.g reversing lights Connects to Camera Connects to 12V/ 24V Power Supply Ensure correct polarity when wiring the cables. RED + BLACK -

Wire connections & terminals must be sealed to be waterproof. When connecting wires, ensure the circuit is isolated by disconnect-

ing the - negative terminal on the battery. 7 Installation Mounting Bracket 3 Mount the gasket & bracket to the rear of the vehicle. Ensure that the Camera Power Cable does not get caught between the vehicle wall &

gasket or the Bracket & Gasket. 3 Fix the Gasket & Bracket to the rear of the vehicle using 4 x #2 head 3/4 self tapping screws. (other screws can be used depending on side wall material.) Ensure the sealing lip around the edge of the gasket is seat-

ed over the edge of the bracket before fully tightening the screws. Vehicle Wall Bracket Mounting Bracket If only installing the FRCBRKT-BL Mounting Bracket, secure the Camera Power Cable inside the mounting and attach the cover. 8 Installation Camera Installation FRCBRKT-BL Pre-install only If installing to a pre-installed FRCBRKT-BL Mounting Bracket, remove the cover by unscrewing the 2 screws. 1 Locate the Camera Power Con-

nector from within the Bracket and connect it to the Camera Plug. 2 Secure the camera to the Bracket using the 4 screws. 2 Ensure the camera antenna is secured tight. Camera Power Connector Camera Plug 9 Installation Camera Positioning The camera can be tilted up & down to obtain the best viewing angle. Positioning the Camera Adjust the camera up or down then check the view via the monitor. If the camera is to be used as park-

ing camera, part of the vehicle, such as the bumper, should be visible on the monitor. 10 Installation Monitor Installation Positioning the Monitor Ensure the the is placed so that it does not obstruct vision when driving. Do not place in an area where it might interfere with driving. The surface area should be clean, smooth & flat. With the lock open, position the mount. Press mount down against the surface. Push the mount lock down. Adjusting the View Angle Swivel & Tilt the mount to set the optimum viewing angle. Lock the position by tightening the locking screws. 1 1 Connecting the Monitor Route the power cable to the vehicles cigarette lighter socket/12/24V power outlet. The cable must not interfere with the safe operation of the vehicle.\

Insert the small 12/24 Volt DC plug of the power cable into the right side of the Plug the 12/24 Volt cigarette lighter plug into the vehicles cigarette lighter monitor. socket. 11 Operation Pairing After installation, the camera & monitor need to be paired. This only needs to be done once. Menu Up Down Line Menu/ Return Up Power/ Confirm Down Line Pairing procedure Ensure both the camera and monitor have power supplied. The vehicle may need to be running 1. Bring the monitor to within close proximity for pairing. 2. Press the Power button to turn on the monitor. 3. Press the Menu button, this will bring up 4 icons on the screen. 4. Use the Up & Down buttons to scroll across to the Pair icon. 5. Press the Power/ Confirm button to start pairing. A Pair icon will be displayed. 6. Press the small button on the underside of the camera for 2 seconds. 7. An OK Pair icon will be displayed once pairing is complete. 12 Operation Pairing PAIRING FAILED will appear on the monitor after 13 seconds if the pairing proce-

dure has been unsuccessful.

*For better pairing results, bring the monitor closer to the camera. Unpairing To unpair the camera from the monitor, exit the menu, press & hold Down for 5 seconds. Picture Control Using the Up & Down buttons to navigate and adjust and the Power/ Confirm but-

ton to confirm selections, the monitors view settings can be adjusted to suit various viewing preferences. Picture Settings Brightness Contrast Color Picture Rotation 13 Troubleshooting Problem Monitor wont turn on Camera & Monitor wont pair Solution / Issue

-Check that power cable is connected

-Check the cigarette lighter has 12-14V DC Output

-Check the fuse in the cigarette socket adaptor

-Check if the camera is receiving power

-Reduce the distance between the camera & moni tor during pairing.

-Make sure to hold the camera pairing button for 2 seconds. Intermittent/ Weak signal icon appears correctly - it should be vertical. Distance between camera & monitor is too great. Interference from overhead power lines may be affecting the signal.
