5 Intended use

The LCD monitors PerfectView M5L, M7L and M7LX are monitors which are primarily intended for use in vehicles. They can be used together with cameras (e.g. a reversing video system) or other video sources.

The LCD monitors are designed for use in all vehicles.

6 Technical description

6.1 Function description

The LCD monitor is a monitor for the connection of cameras (e.g. reversing video systems) or other video sources (e.g. TV set). It is possible to switch back and forth between video sources.

The monitor features control cables which allow the cameras to be activated automatically.

To secure it and connect the power, slide it onto the monitor bracket. The Easylink system allows the monitor to be easily removed from the monitor bracket. It can therefore be removed to protect it from theft, or for use in several trucks in a fleet (fleet solution).

The monitors M5L and M7L can operate up to two cameras.

The monitor M7LX can operate up to three cameras. Alongside the usual controls, the three cameras can be switched consecutively in automatic mode. This monitor also features a distance indicator in the display which is activated automatically when the reverse gear is engaged.

A further video source can also be connected to the monitors, e.g. a reversing camera on the trailer (trailer operation). This additional video input has signal detection: when a video source is connected to this video input, video input C1 is automatically deactivated (e.g. the reversing camera on the tractor) and the image from the additional video input is displayed instead.

The brightness of the monitor adapts automatically to the ambient light.

6.2 Control elements

The following control elements are located on the monitor:
