Note
I
Cables and connections which are not properly installed will cause malfunctions
or damage to components. Correct installation of cables and connections en-
sures lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted components.
Please observe the following instructions:
Wherever possible lay cables inside the vehicle, as they are better protected there than
outside the vehicle.
If you do need to lay a cable outside the vehicle, ensure that it is well secured (use ad-
ditional cable ties, insulating tape, etc.).
To prevent damage to the cables, when laying them, ensure that they are far enough
away from hot or moving vehicle components (exhaust pipes, drive shafts, light sys-
tems, fans, heater etc.).
Wrap insulating tape around the plug connections of the connecting cables and every
connection on a cable (including inside the vehicle) to protect them from exposure to
water (fig. 9, page 6). The most suitable tape for this purpose is self-vulcanising
tape, for example from 3M.
When laying electric connections (fig. 3, page 4), ensure that
– They are not kinked or twisted
– They do not rub on edges
– They are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection
Attach the cables securely in the vehicles to prevent tripping hazards. Use cable
binders, insulating tape or glue the cables in place.
Protect every through-hole made in the bodywork against water penetration, e. g. by
using a cable with a sealant and by spraying the cable and the the cable sleeve with
sealant.
Note
I
Do not start sealing the through-holes until you have completed all installation
work on the camera, and the required cable lengths have been laid.
6.2 Using branch connectors (fig. 6, page 5)
To prevent loose connections in the branch connectors, it is important to ensure that the
cable cross sections fit into the branch connectors.
To use the branch connectors, proceed as follows:
➤ Insert the cable to be tapped in the front groove of the cable connector (A).
➤ Insert the end of the new cable up to approx. 3/4 of the way into the rear groove (B).
➤ Use a pair of combination pliers to close the connector by pressing the metal pin in.
This creates an electrical connection (C).
➤ Press down the safety cap until it snaps into place.
➤ Check that the connection is secure by lightly tugging the cable (D).
