Frequently Asked Questions - 16256 Eufab

How to install the Eufab 16256 backup camera?

Installation requires mounting the camera at the rear of the vehicle, near the license plate, and connecting it to the transmitter. The screen mounts on the windshield. See the full manual for step-by-step details.

What to do if the screen remains black when reverse gear is engaged?

First check that the 12 V connector of the screen is properly plugged in. Then replace the fuse in the connector (6x30 mm, 1 A, 250 V) if necessary. Also make sure the fuse of the vehicle's 12 V socket has not blown.

The screen turns on but does not display an image, what to do?

Check the connection between the camera and the transmitter. Ensure the cables are properly connected. Also check that the transmitter and camera are powered (reverse gear engaged). Reset the system if necessary.

How to reduce interference on the image?

Turn off other radio devices (phones, garage door openers) that might disturb the signal. If interference persists, move the transmitter closer to the screen and avoid metal obstacles between them.

The camera image is blurry, how to clean it?

Gently clean the camera lens with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid chemicals. If the image remains blurry during the day, strong direct light may overexpose; quality returns when light incidence decreases.

What is the operating temperature range?

The system operates between -10 °C and +50 °C. Avoid sudden temperature changes that could damage the device.

How to replace the screen fuse?

Unscrew the knurled nut on the 12 V connector of the screen cable. Remove the old fuse and insert a new identical one (6x30 mm, 1 A, 250 V). Screw the nut back on.

Can I use the system as a permanent driving camera?

No, the system is designed only to improve vision when reversing and parking. It is not intended for normal driving use.

What to do in case of malfunction not listed in the manual?

Contact EAL GmbH customer service by phone [phone]) or by email ([e-mail]). Have the model number (16256) ready.

How to dispose of the device at end of life?

Do not dispose of the device in household waste. Take it to a recycling center or collection point for used electrical and electronic equipment.

6.2 Installation

These instructions are only valid as an example due to the various vehicle types and cannot be directly used for every vehicle.

6.2.1 Checking the installation location for suitability

Before you start with the installation, check whether the location chosen is suitable for installation of the rear view camera. Therefore hold both camera holders (item 9 in the overview), as precisely as possible over the rear license plate. The number plate and the number plate lighting must not be covered by the camera. The camera and the holder must not block the boot during closing. The camera can be mounted over or under the number plate. The camera must be mounted so that the cable connection is located above.

6.2.2 Removing the rear number plate

First remove the rear number plate and, if present, also the number plate holder of your vehicle.

6.2.3 Pass through for the camber cable

If there is no opening behind the number plate that can be used for passing through the camera cable, you must drill a 10 mm diameter hole to lay the cable in the interior. In this case first remove the interior lining of the boot.

Check whether there are cables, wires or other components located at the position selected, which could be damaged by the drilling.

When the hole for the cable to pass through has been drilled, protect the bare areas of the sheet metal with rust protection paint or other suitable paint.

6.2.4 Mounting the camera

Connect the camera to the camera holders, item 9 in the overview, refer to Figure 2. For this use the bolts, item 5 in the overview and the nuts, item 6 in the overview. Do not tighten the bolts yet. Place the number plate or the number plate holder on the camera holders. Align the camera holders so that the fastening holes of the number plate or the number plate holder can be used. During this both number plate holders must be no further apart than 4 cm, Figure 3.

Now tighten the bolts.

The gasket, item 8 in the overview, has a collar on one side. This collar must later lie on the outside of the vehicle metal. Now insert the camera cable through the gasket from the collar side. Now insert the camera cable with the gasket through the hole behind the number plate. Set the number plate or the number plate carrier on the camera holders and mount this combination back on your vehicle.

6.2.5 Connecting the camera

Select a suitable installation location for the transmitter, item 11 in the overview. Here it is possibly necessary to remove parts of the lining in the boot or in the passenger compartment of the vehicle. The installation location must not be too far removed from the camera and the rear light, pay attention to the cable lengths. In addition the transmitter must be placed as close as possible to the receiver (monitor), without metallic components, body metal, ribs and reinforcements being able to negatively influence the radio transmission. Fasten the transmitter, e.g. with cable ties. Lay the cable so that it cannot be bent, pinched or stretched.

Caution: For the next step, working on the electrical system of the vehicle, it is necessary to unclamp the battery. This could cause, for example, the radio code, data of the on-board computer or other settings to be lost. To do this, read the user's manual of your vehicle or ask the vehicle manufacturer.

Disconnect the battery. Look for the positive and negative cable for the backup light. Connect the red positive cable of the transmitter with the aid of the clamp connector. Item 7 in the overview, with the positive cable of the backup light. Connect the black negative cable of the transmitter to the negative cable of the backup light. Proceed as shown in Figures 4 to 6.

If you are unsure during the electrical installation, ask a specialist workshop for advice. There is a risk of personal injury and property damage.

6.2.6 Mounting the monitor

Insert the monitor fixture of the monitor holder, position 10 in the overview, see Figure 7, in the recess on the back of the monitor. Slide the monitor completely on the fixture, until the lock engages. Insert the angle plug of the monitor connection cable, item 2 in the overview, in the connection socket of the monitor, Figure 8.

6.2.7 Functionality test

Plug the camera cable and the cable of the transmitter together. Switch on the ignition of your vehicle. Insert the plug of the monitor cable into the 12V socket of your vehicle. If the installation has been correctly done, a blue indicator light in the left top of the frame of the monitor lights up. Now engage reverse gear. If the transmitter and camera are connected correctly the monitor displays an image. If no image can be seen, proceed according to the fault table in Section 6.5 and correct the fault.

If you have not detected any fault, turn off the ignition and disconnect the plug of the monitor cable. Lay and fasten the cable. Replace all the lining parts in the boot and in the passenger compartment.

6.5 Troubleshooting

The ignition of the vehicle and the monitor are turned on, reverse gear is engaged, but the display remains dark. The blue indicator light is not lit up	The plug of the monitor cable is not plugged into the 12 V vehicle socket.	Insert the plug of the monitor cable into the 12 V vehicle socket
	The fuse in the plug of the monitor cable triggered and must be replaced	Replace the fuse in the plug of the monitor cable
	The fuse for the 12 V vehicle socket triggered and must be replaced.	Replace the fuse in the fuse box of the vehicle
The ignition of the vehicle and the monitor are turned on, reverse gear is engaged, the blue indicator light is lit up but the display does not show an image.	No radio connection could be made between the camera and the monitor. The cable of the camera and the transmitter are not correctly connected or they came apart.	Check the correct connection of the cable to the camera, transmitter and backup light.
The image on the monitor malfunctions.	The signal between the camera and the monitor has interference from other radio sources (e.g. cellphone, transmitter for garage door opener).	Switch off the radio transmission sources or get away from these radio sources.
