• to the sheet-metal bodywork with a cable lug and a self-tapping screw.

Ensure that there is a good earth connection.

PerfectView Safety and installation instructions

When the negative terminal of the battery is disconnected, all data stored in the volatile memory will be lost.

The following data must be set again, depending on the vehicle equipment options:

radio code
-vehicle clock
-timer
-on-board computer
- seat position

You can find instructions for making these settings in the appropriate operating instructions.

Observe the following installation instructions:

• Secure the parts of the camera installed in the vehicle in such a way that they cannot become loose under any circumstances (sudden braking, accidents) and cause injuries to the occupants of the vehicle.
• Secure any parts of the system covered by the bodywork in such a manner that they cannot be come loose or damage other parts and cables and impair vehicle functions (steering, pedals, etc).
• To prevent damage, when drilling ensure that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to come out (fig. 1, page 3).
• Deburr all drill holes and treat them with a rust-protection agent.
• Always follow the safety instructions of the vehicle manufacturer. Some work (e.g. on retention systems such as the AIRBAG etc.) may only be performed by qualified specialists.

Observe the following instructions when working with electrical parts:

• Only use a diode test lamp or voltmeter to test voltages in electric cables.

Test lamps with an illuminant consume voltages which are too high and which can damage the vehicle's electronic system.

• When making electrical connections, ensure that

• they are not kinked or twisted

• they do not rub on edges
• they are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection (fig. 2, page 3).

Insulate all connections.

• Secure the cables against mechanical wear with cable binders or insulating tape, for example to existing cables.

Scope of delivery PerfectView

The camera is watertight. However, the seals on the camera cannot withstand a high-pressure cleaner. Therefore, you should observe the following instructions when handling the camera:

• Do not open the camera, as this impairs the tightness and the function of the camera.
• Do not pull at the cables, as this impairs the tightness and the function of the camera.
  The camera is not suitable for submerged operation.

7 General information on the electrical connections

7.1 Laying cables

Note

As far as possible, use original openings or alternative openings for the connecting cable duct, e.g. the panelling edges, ventilation grilles or blank panels. If no openings are available, you must drill holes for the cables. Check beforehand that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to come out.

Note

Cables and connections which are not properly installed will cause malfunctions or damage to components. Correct installation of cables and connections ensures lasting and trouble-free operation of the retrofitted components.

Caution!

The cables must not be exposed for long periods to solvents such as benzine, as the solvents can damage the cable.

Mounting the camera PerfectView

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 additional 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 systems, fans, heater etc.). Use corrugated piping or other protective materials to protect against mechanical wear.

• Wrap the insulating tape supplied around the plug connections of the connecting cables and every connection on a cable (including inside the vehicle) to protect from penetrating water (see fig. 5 B, page 4).

• When laying electric connections, ensure that

• they are not kinked or twisted

• they do not rub on edges

• they are not laid in sharp edged ducts without protection (fig. 2, page 3).

• 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

Only start sealing through-holes when you have completed all installation work on the camera and have laid the required cable lengths.

8 Mounting the camera

Note

If installing the camera alters the vehicle height or length specified in the vehicle documents, your vehicle must be inspected by the appropriate authorities.

Make sure that you are in possession of vehicle documents verifying that your vehicle has passed this inspection.

Caution!

Select a location for the camera and attach it so securely that it cannot under any circumstances fall off and injure bystanders (e.g. by being knocked off by branches brushing over the roof of the vehicle).

Observe the following installation instructions:

To provide a suitable viewing angle, the camera must be attached at a height of at least 2m

Ensure that you have a firm place from which to work when mounting the camera.

22

PerfectView Mounting the camera

• Ensure that the installation location of the camera is sufficiently firm (e.g. to prevent the camera from being knocked down by branches that may brush over the roof of the vehicle).
• Always use the supplied insulation pad (fig. 3 3, page 3). This prevents residual current caused by a poor earth connections in the vehicle. Residual current can cause lines of interference in the picture or humming in the loudspeakers or even damage components.

• Observe the fastening instructions:

• There must be sufficient space behind the chosen installation location to be able to carry out the mounting procedure.

• Suitable measures must be taken to prevent water penetrating through any holes made (e.g. by using screws and sealant and/or spraying the outer attachment parts with a sealant).

• The location on the body where you wish to attach the camera must be rigid enough to allow the camera to be tightly fastened.

• Check beforehand that there is sufficient space on the other side for the drill head to come out (fig. 1, page 3).

• If you are not sure about the location you have chosen, ask your vehicle manufacturer or dealer.

Note

We recommend greasing the threads of the bolts to prevent corrosion.

To perform the installation, proceed as follows:

Hold the bottom camera holder on the chosen location and mark two points for the drill holes (fig. 6, page 5).
Using a hammer and centre punch, gently pre-punch the previously marked points to prevent the drill head from slipping off.

If you want to screw on the bottom camera holder with self-tapping screws

Caution!

The holder may only be attached to steel panels with a minimum thickness of 1.5mm using self-tapping screws.

Drill 02mm holes at the points you have just marked.
Deburr all drill holes and apply rust-protection.
Place the insulating plate (fig. 3 5, page 3) where the bottom camera holder is to be fitted.

The insulation plate serves as a seal and protects the paint.

Screw on the camera holder using the self-tapping screws.

Mounting the camera PerfectView

If you would like to attach the bottom camera holder with threaded screws fitted through the construction

Caution!

Ensure that nuts cannot be pulled through the body shell when they are tightened.

Use larger washers or metal plates if necessary.

Drill 5.5mm holes at the points you have just marked.

Deburr all drill holes and apply rust-protection.
Place the insulating plate (fig. 3 5, page 3) where the bottom camera holder is to be fitted.

The insulation plate serves as a seal and protects the paint.

Screw the camera holder on with the M5 x 25 mm threaded screws (fig. 7 A, page 5).
Depending on the thickness of the construction, you may require longer threaded screws.

Fastening the camera

Push the camera into the bottom camera holder.

Note

Remember that the LDR sensor (fig. 4 5, page 4) must face downwards so that the picture is correctly shown on the monitor.

Fasten the camera loosely using the top camera holder and the two M3 x 12 mm screws (fig. 7 B, page 5).

Note

Do not tighten the two screws until you have aligned the camera (see chapter "Checking the function and setting the camera" on page 25).

To do this you must first install and connect a monitor (see the connection diagram fig. 9, page 5).

Creating a through-hole for the camera connection cable

Note

If possible, use available openings – such as ventilation grilles – to feed the connection cables through. If there are no existing openings, you must drill a hole with a 13mm diameter. Check beforehand that there is sufficient room for the drill head to come out on the other side.

Drill a hole of 13 mm near the camera.
Deburr all drill holes that have been made in the sheet metal and apply rust-protection.
Seal the duct with the sleeve (fig. 4 3, page 4).

24

PerfectView Connecting the camera

9 Connecting the camera

Note

Lay the camera cable so that should you need to remove the camera, you can access the plug connection between the camera and the extension cable easily. This greatly facilitates the disassembly.

Guide the camera cable into the vehicle interior.

Insert the plug of the camera cable into the socket of the monitor cable (fig. 9, page 5).

Note

To minimise corrosion in the plug, apply a small amount of grease - such as terminal grease - in one of the plugs.

Note

Extension cables are available on request (see chapter "Accessories" on page 20).

Caution!

The plug connections of the cable do not offer any protection against water penetration. It is essential that you wrap the connections with sealing tape (fig. 5 B, page 4).

10 Checking the function and setting the camera

Check the function of the camera after you have connected it to a monitor.
Align the camera using the image on the monitor to help you:

The monitor image should show the rear or the bumper of the vehicle at the bottom edge of the screen. The middle of the bumper should be in the middle of the screen (fig. 8, page 5).

Tighten the two fastening screws of the top camera holder.

Settings for contrast and brightness can be made on the monitor.

11 Cleaning and caring for the camera

Caution!

Do not use any sharp or hard objects for cleaning since they may damage the device.

Occasionally clean the device with a soft, damp cloth.
